• The Times newspaper seems to be suitable only for the reckless, nerveless unwashed and it’s a public menace as well.

    Fixed.

  • Minette Marrin: journalist, Sunday Times columnist, broadcaster and fiction writer.

  • who's horse?

  • What a terrible opinion piece.

    The only thing I agree with is that main roads are safer than narrow quiet ones

    ride near the middle of the lane then, it's the safest way to go about, even if it will irritate driver, it force them to slow down and wait to overtake you than sped past you leaving inches to spare.

    frixed

  • She rubbed me up the wrong way!

    I really don't see why a piece like that gets written? whos it for?
    Snobby lady doesn't like riding a bike, tries it and still doesn't!

  • Someone needs to tell Minette Marrin to HTFU...

  • HTFU??? She should be boiled in oil.

  • HTFU??? She should be boiled in oil.

    Shellac would be better. Once dried it would be quite hard thereby helping the process.

    Plus it would be shiny.

  • it's a typical throwaway columnist's article..(though it must be nice to be paid to voice your opinions) lazy and conceited, like the journalists who write them.

    I'm in the Sunday Times offices at the moment, I'll pop over and 'have a word' ;-)

    Shit on her keyboard. She wouldn't notice the difference given her article history.

  • How about a dirty protest on her desk?

  • show her the benefits of carrying a d lock at all times.

  • Never ever shit on someone's desk.

    It's best done behind a filing cabinet or somewhere where it cannot be seen, only smelt for a very long time...

    Chillax. Can't make a joke around here :(

  • People at work (mostly sunday sport readers, nice blokes all the same) think im a nonce for riding a bike in all that fairy lycra and deserve what we get.
    The biggest complaints is "you lot ride like knobs" "you dont pay road tax" and "dont follow the highway code to the letter" My arguements are "do you ever brake the speed limit?" "have you ever parked on double yellows?" but i just get called a C**T. So it proves my mum right, you cant argue with an idiot.

    I think if every driver had to do 10 push ups every time they stopped, they'd be as angry as every time i get stopped by a RL or cut up by an idiot/bus and have to get going again.

    What is the actual point of this article? it just reads like filler to me.

  • Norman Tebbit *is* dead now isn't he?

  • Usually my job.. (chopper reid skit etc)

    Class!
