Well I laughed. I laughed long and I laughed hard. Woo meister, poo botherer Gillian McKeith lost her shit on Twitter the other day. A woman, Rachele Moody, rather mildly mentioned her in a tweet but put Gillian McKeith ( no phd) causing McKeith to fly off the handle and attack her for being a anti- American. (McKeith’s doctorate is from an uncredited college)
Anywoo, this led to a spat and the brilliant Ben Goldacre from Bad Science popped in to question McKeith. McKeith then called Ben a ‘liar’ and Ben being Ben called her out on it.
Next thing you know, McKeith protects her tweets, then- when she realised the story was growing legs – UNPROTECTED them and tried to pretend she was not THE Gillian McKeith ( this was the funniest bit in the whole debacle) by writing in the third person, despite the account being linked to her home web page and her using it up until that point.
Anywoo, the whole lot ended up on Boing Boing which I will link to here.
The moral of this story is not ‘love your neighbour and your enemy too’ as McKeith tried gamely to tweet yesterday, but ‘do not fuck with tech savvy folk on their own turf.’
Stick to the woo and the poo McKeith.

dara o’briain had the best line about her… “if you are what you eat, then she must be subsisting on a diet of shrew!”

That’s so funny.
I bet she paid a huge sum for that fake diploma as well.

Oh for sure, but with the gravitas it provided for her woo based logic it more than paid for itself over time. I think the advertising standerds board made her cease using it though.

Gillian McKeith, PooHandlingDiva.
What a fucking ninny.

Heh, I know, no wait, fatmammycat wishes you to know that she has read your comment and it amused her.

I KNEW IT, you’re actually an Indian grandmother in Mumbai, a surrogate Fmc that hits the keyboard when she’s fininshed making naan for her four sons because their wives can’t cook properly.
Meanwhile the real you is swanning around having lunch and afternoon tea and soirees with your consoeurs, who each have their own webmistresses in faraway places….
*shouts at the chai wallah to hurry the fuck up*

How very dare you! As soon as I drink this ginger and lemon tea I am going to muster up the ire needed to go locate my blunderbuss.
Then I am going to finish packing. I HATE PACKING!

No amount of money would compensate me for examining a lunchbox full of shite. Sick!!!

You should also check out how easily available the materials that you want to use for the redesigning of your bathroom is. You can actually achieve something tangible by making use of local materials. You can as well consider this so as to be able to make some savings off the amount you would have used in getting imported materials. Imported materials will cause you to spend longer time on the remodeling than locally available materials.
