David Mitchell’s 2014 predictions

One of his predictions from yesterday’s Observer column, “gang of cyclists trap a lorry and eat the driver”.

Mitchell writes, “dozens of cyclists sliced through gridlock and surrounded an Eddie Stobart truck” and quotes a witness “I was really rooting for them until they ate him”.

He reports one of the cyclists saying, “we only ate one of them. They’ve killed loads of us and it barely makes the news but we eat just one of them and it’s suddenly more interesting than Syria or Tulisa’s new tattoo!”
