Jon Snow is the man! Jon Snow articles

Here I am sat in a library at midnight doing my time and this is about the only thing to bring a smile to my face.

I didn't think John Snow could get any cooler...

Ha, he's a nutter.

When Rhianna's Umbrella single was at the top of the charts, Snow decided he'd break into song in the middle of a news story about it being number one for so long. Trevor has catching up to do.

as much as i like and respect the man, he has all the rhythm of a spasticated donkey.

. . . and he cycles to work ! On a bike !! Yes a bike.

what a cunt

. . . and he cycles to work ! On a bike !! Yes a bike.

He had a yellow-flat bar Condor road bike for years, pretty beat up.
He now rides a flat bar TI Condor road bike, to the ITN building on Grays Inn everyday.

Can't dance or sing for shit though.

He's a fecking interesting guy though. Went to a lecture by him last year, he's got some awesome stories to tell (especially about a certain WMD dossier)

He is a dude. He did vocals on a song by my mate's old (thrash dirge carny blues) band. Amazing.

i work just down the road from ITN. Got the biggest fright as JS came out of the local shop one lunch time with a finger stuck unfeasibly far up his nose; it's quite shocking seeing telly people do everyday shit like picking their nose.

he lives on brecknock road - occasionally I used to see him going to the newsagents in his dressing gown and slippers

...and president of the CTC, no less.

The way he dug that well in soho to help prevent the spread of cholera was admirable

I thought he broke the pump?

well the pump is broken NOW, but you can't blame that on either John Snow the 19th centrury philanthropist or John Snow the Channel 4 News all-singing all-dancing cyclist-demigod dressing-gown-and-slippers anchorman. I don;t think.

Or the infamous pub in Soho, I'm rather sure.

Interesting interview in today's guardian with Snow. Good bike bits, and the stuff about his career is well worth a read too.

thumbs up for Mr Snow. I bumped into him last year while he was having his breakfast, and we had a nice little chat about bikes. And a couple of weeks ago at something in Nottingham he was cheery about the saving of the Torriano Pub and wanted to go into battle to save the cross-town bus that nimbys want to stop in Kentish Town.

Nice interview. I really like Jon Snow.

Apparently he's a complete liability on the roads though... the Daily Hate can't get enough of his cycling misdemeanors in this blow-by-blow account. Richard Simpson seems to have practically spaffed himself over the irony that JS is CTC president.

The Dailt Mail is a fucking disgrace. The comments make me feel like lashing out.

That's brilliant. I love that they think they have the authority to "monitor" his journey home, including lurking outside a pub waiting for him to continue. Basic stalking, surely?

Some classic sanctimonious-tittery on there aint there. I think the DM exists only to feed the self-righteousness of those who actually think their faeces smells of purest apple blossom.

What's more sinister is the thought that at some point in the past the TV & Showbiz editorial team at the DM must have sat around a table and had a conversation about which well-respected liberal public figure's reputation they were going to blacken by following them around and documenting their every minor infringement of the law.
