Is it wrong.............

[snorri]

Is it wrong to feel quite pleased when someone with ready access to the media uses that access to publish a lengthy anti-cycling article in a trade journal then some years later is found guilty of two offences and narrowly avoids a prison sentence?

No! Who? Pray tell....

Schadenfreude I believe is the word

 

[tyred]

No I wouldn't think so.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Not wrong at all

Schadenfreude I believe is the word

Thank you, that is indeed the word that was eluding me!
I was referring to one PF who was frequently quoted in the press and interviewed on tv news programmes during his tenure as Director for Scotland and Northern Ireland of the Road Haulage Association. I was looking for something quite unrelated when I saw the surname and just wondered where PF had gone as he had sunk into obscurity following complaints to the RHA HQ from myself and many others after he had claimed among other things that public roads with motor vehicles were no place for cyclists in an an anti-cyclist article he had penned in a trade journal which had been leaked to a wider audience.
Google soon informed me that he had gone on to do worse than write an anti-cycling rant and this had resulted in an appearance before a sheriff and a narrow escape from a jail sentence.

The only thing wrong here is that he was not sent down, and that is quite apart from his anti cycle journal.

Epicaricacy!

JFC, I clicked the link and I wasn't expecting what I saw. So yes it is wrong because the two situations are not in any way comparable. It's not like he just had a bit of misfortune. There's nothing good in any of this.

It would have been an even deeper irony if he had ended up in the chokey. After all, Bronson was a keen cyclist prior to starting his new career taking hostages...

No way. I've only just learned how to spell shardenfroyda.

So was Bruce Reynolds. Great train robber mastermind. Keen cyclist and sometimes racer.
