The Pro Sportive lobby are going to love Daisy Waughs column in this weeks Sunday Times Magazine, i think that she's had enough of those "Bikeathon" folk.

    I read it over afternoon tea and cake.

    The woman is a fukin' idiot.

    And that is all Yossie has to say on that.

    Cut off her head and throw it into next door's garden, right Yossie?

    I read it, sounds to me like she needs a good shagging more often. Same paper carried on its crusade against wind turbines as well ... change the record :!:

    Seen photos of her and once a year is probably more often than she's getting it now.

    Two bits in the article stood out....

    "when i see those wretched bikes swarming over the horizon, as I do on an almost weekly basis round where i live, it's all i can do not to jump into my car and mow the lot of the into the pavement."

    She was amused and sniggered when she heard about somebody putting tacks down before the Caledonian Etape.

    She's on Facebook. Can't you chaps on here bombard her with loads of sh!te (techie speak :lol: ) and show her up or something.

    Before anyone replies, no, I don't know what I'm talking about.

    It was generally what you'd expect from Waugh - complete nonsense. Having read some of her previous work she does seem to specialise in the "Polly Filler" kind of journalism. Her column is mainly a thin excuse to puff the latest book. Yep chick lit stuff.

    Is she the Julie Birchill of the Sunday Times?

    .... and we wonder why there is no respect for cyclists - from car drivers in the UK when there are people like her.

    Have to laugh at her Wikipedia entry....
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Waugh

    Career
    Instead of going to a university, Waugh took ...

    Which I guess translates as .... although her parents had loads of money, she was too stupid to go to university...

    You have got to ask yourself, what kind of newspaper would agree to publish such dangerous rubbish? Well I guess, it is one of Murdoch's newspapers, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised. I really hope Murdoch's empire collapses. Arhh!

    The same paper carried the article by Matthew Parris who wrote about garroting cyclists so you could say that The Times has form in this regard. Best thing is to ignore the silly tart and wait for her to drown in her own sanctimonious shite :lol:

    The Sunday Times is editorially quite different to The Times. Politically (and in terms of emphasis - i.e. Money, conspicuous consumption) it's closer to the telegraph than The Times.

    Does The Telegraph hate cyclists and wind turbines too Question

    Hate cyclists, no, they've had quite a few positive articles recently in the Weekend bits.

    Hate wind turbines, yes. ( But then again, doesn't everybody ? )

    Or Fiddlers Ferry coal-fired power station, or DRAX power station. I'd rather cycle around a few turbines than shorten my life breathing the crap that old coal stations belch out. Turbines... can't get enough of 'em :!: :wink:

    Someone vandalised the Wiki and removed the entry about the 17th July. I just reverted it back!

    Since then, it looks like someone else removed the Times info, but again it's been put back.

    I'm hoping that the kids' names on the Wiki entry have been vandalised too - for the love of God please tell me that they aren't real? Have these parents lost control of their brain cell [sic]?

    You've not had much to do with the North London intelligencia then?

    It seems to be a trait amongst the pretentious aspirational gasping yoghurt-knitting upper-class wannabes to utterly destroy their children by giving them names even a porn starlet would baulk at.

    As if the gluten-free, fairtrade, organic polar-bear friendly, hemp-clothed, no additives upbringing wouldn't do that on it's own

    No...apparently some people don't live in the real world (where energy consumption is rapidly rising and the wind doesn't always blow!)
    You live and learn. At any rate, you live
