This prat is only half a stride behind Abbott in the USELESS stakes. In my opinion.

She should recieve two fingers stuck up to her and be told to bugger off.

If she wants to name books, then she should make her own.

I know plenty women who would not want to be referred to as Ms..

Miss is still a perfectly valid term so there is no need to change it. Also, the term Ms has been around since the 17th century, with exactly the same meaning ....

I mean they're OK but I wouldn't say they're the sexiest... seems like an exaggeration
