I do wonder why someone doesn't just have a quiet word rather than just let her go insane in the public eye.

Who would be the voice of sanity to step in at the Daily Mail?

'ray Clamence (Noodle Vague), Monday, 23 August 2010 21:20 (fifteen years ago)

Sanity doesn't cause controversy and doesn't bring the online clicks. That's the only thing that counts. Content is for real newspapers.

We're all responsible for keeping this alive by not ignoring it.

Is there a system on some BNP website to alert people to these stories?

i think the dailymail url is all they need

Liz Jones watch: way beyond parody now. She has slept with an unidentified rock star, and is now hanging around with men who take one look at her and are in awe of her fabulousness (except it's all done nothing but make her realise she's still in love with Nirpal). I think she's now completely stopped writing a diary and is now writing bad chicklit in which she is the central character.

Sweepstake?

so would fit the bill, obv

Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 10:59 (fifteen years ago)

tbf I didn't mean Lucinda Prior Palmer, can't remember the name of that crazy misogynist bitch with the Chelmsford facelift who used to write for the Mail all the time.

Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:02 (fifteen years ago)

Lynda Lee Potter?

Matt DC, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:07 (fifteen years ago)

That's the one

Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:07 (fifteen years ago)

Turned down for the role of Nurse Ratched for being too unsympathetic iirc

Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:08 (fifteen years ago)

Certainly not fragrant 70s toff Lucinda Prior-Palmer

Tom A. (Tom B.) (Tom C.) (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:11 (fifteen years ago)

Please God let it be Freddie Garrity

I lolled. Sad to hear he died though. Surely a Little Big Time revival is long overdue?

Ned Trifle (Notinmyname), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:11 (fifteen years ago)

Garrity’s trademark was his habit of leaping up and down during performances.

Aye, they were right easily amused in them days

Tom A. (Tom B.) (Tom C.) (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:14 (fifteen years ago)

To be honest I'm laughing about it right now. My seven year old self found him very amusing.

Ned Trifle (Notinmyname), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:15 (fifteen years ago)

the jumping started off when he was trying to avoid the elephant shit on Blue Peter

Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:15 (fifteen years ago)

Do the Freddie!

His trademark was the jumping up and down, the Dreamers' trademark was their silly cock-a-leg dance. Top entertainment.

Tom A. (Tom B.) (Tom C.) (Tom D.), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:19 (fifteen years ago)

John Noakes: Get down, Freddie Garrity jumping up and down to avoid elephant shit on Blue Peter!

Really kicks off at about 1:04

(xxxp) That's a different dance!

There was no end to their talents.

Ned Trifle (Notinmyname), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:25 (fifteen years ago)

There was no beginning to them, either.

Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 11:26 (fifteen years ago)

as jumping goes that was pretty good. Would take me a good half hour to get to that standard.

That was Mike Peters. Mike Edwards is the guy from Jesus Jones.

haven't been following this liz jones business but i wish i had if this is anything to go by

Assuming what this wretched woman writes is true, nobody with an IQ higher than a peanut should feel sorry for her, let alone send her money. It is hard to imagine anyone who has created their own problems more than her.

Daily Mail discovers camwhores

Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 12:56 (fifteen years ago)

In September 2009, her mailbox was hit by several air rifle pellets (not a shotgun blast as was first thought); it is not known by whom, or if it was intentional, although she claimed that it was because her remarks made the residents seem "cold, dirty, smelly and vicious".

former moderator, please give generously (DG), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 12:57 (fifteen years ago)

DG, I think I touched on that upthread, how the article was published on the Sunday and on the Monday morning she allegedly had letters in from pensioners worried that she'd spent her £200k salary on holistic tooth whitener for her horses and cashmere throws to mollycoddle the bats in her belfry with and whathaveyou and didn't have enough money to keep her in organic eyebrow dye and quail's eggs.

Pointing out the inconsistencies from week to week is so easy (she's vegan, but she eats eggs and the schedule for her farm - currently up for sale - shows her loft insulated with sheep wool; she hasn't had a holiday for 20+ years but frequently talks about all the overseas trips she and Nirpal had - which she paid for, hence needing to defraud fictional pensioners)

ailsa, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 13:18 (fifteen years ago)

journalists are depressing

former moderator, please give generously (DG), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 14:12 (fifteen years ago)

except all those lovely journalists who post on ilx obviously

Take note Wayne, here's one footballer who's sticking by his WAG: Rio Ferdinand and wife relax on French holiday

With Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole and Peter Crouch all having faced allegations of cheating, it's refreshing to see a footballer who's sticking with his wife.

Rio Ferdinand and Rebecca Ellison looked calm and relaxed as they travelled through Nice Airport en route back to England.

........

Despite the fact Rio was himself alleged to have had a fling with a model while on his stag week earlier this year, Rebecca apparently decided to give their marriage another shot.

no time for the prussian death cult (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 16:57 (fifteen years ago)

so it's not like they're trying to set up ferdinand for a fall, like

no time for the prussian death cult (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 16:58 (fifteen years ago)

More like for a merking.

Hongro Horace (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 16:59 (fifteen years ago)

Take note Wayne, here's one footballer who's sticking by his WAG

Shouldn't it be Coleen sticking by Rooney and not the other way round? "Sticking with" doesn't make fidelity sound terribly appealing if they are really meaning he should be sticking with his wife and child, does it?

I also mentioned it on the Premier League thread, but this story equating being a hooker who sells her story to the paper to being murdered (illustrated by some lovely bikini snaps) is just awful.

tbf i think a merking involves a flagrant deception of the merkee. i'm guessing rio ferdindand can fuck up his personal life all by himself, should he so desire.

Nah you need a cunt of a shitbag journalist to do the job proper like.
