roffle doenst really trip off my tongue.

Apparently she gets all her ideas for her articles from mumsnet (so a friend of mine who works at the Times tells me).

SHe may do but she is one of the most witty and naturally funny writers in Gb imfo.

Does trinityrhino get copyright? here

foxinsocks · 23/04/2007 11:13

loads of journos use it - quite often, there are pieces in the papers that use opinion off here (or start an article based around a discussion we've been having on here). I reckon lots use it for ideas. It's a great pool for that sort of thing really.

caitlin's been a journo for many years before mumsnet was even around though - she's pretty talented in her own right!

And saves you doing research yourself.... Allegedly.

misdee · 23/04/2007 11:14

Shutupaboutyourflippingbabies · 23/04/2007 11:15

i love CM. Makes me larf a lot.

Shutupaboutyourflippingbabies · 23/04/2007 11:16

she likes kettle chips and dip. she likes 24. i hope she rather oddly fancies Tony soprano like most women ( who dont want to admit it) and Dennis Leary.
