Ever met a pleasant dog walker ?

How do I get transported to the colonies?!

I'm sorry but the colonial administration has barred entry to all but one remaining colony: Fiorina 161. A prison/correctional work facility. It's just north of Newcastle so heavily polluted and devoid of all intelligent life. On the plus side though, you'll be many light years away from that angry blonde you mentioned.

Here are some stills taken from a 1995 edition of 'Wish you were here'.

Did we ever get another side to this story? To pick up a rock and hot someone takes some anger. I’m sure the farmer isn’t 100% guilt free in this?

here read it for yourself, that's if you can actually read :sneaky: :rolleyes::


"Mrs Pine said: "Without any provocation or anything else, this walker threw dirt at him as he was driving past, so he stopped to ask 'what's the problem' to find out why he'd done this."

"He was then told 'don't plough the footpath', which of course he wasn't - he does everything 100 per cent correctly. We rent the field so in a sense you're even more careful with what you do."


After a brief exchange in which Mr Pine informed the man of his right to work the field, the dog walker picked up a rock and proceeded to throw it at the farmer's head.

Mrs Pine added: "With that he picked up a rock - and there are rocks there the size of your hand - and threw it at my husband's head, then he ran off.


"He is 70, and [he] purposefully threw it at someone's head. If my husband had been looking maybe two inches the other way he'd have had his eye out."


btw its an article from Soms. live not the Sun or Sunday sport.(y)

You're from Fury 161?

Some scenes in Alien 3 were filmed there on the beach at Seaham I think it was.

Seaham is just south of Sunderland. So no, I'm not a filthy mackem.

But yeah, I'm from the coast north of Newcastle, near Alnwich, Alnmouth etc. My first paid job was selling ice cream to tourists in Bamburgh castle car park.

Like I said, do we have another side to the story?

What difference would it make?

Could try asking on the ADW forum.
My point is the other side of the story comes from his wife! He maybe totally not to blame. I just like for fins the truth . For someone to walk their dog and do that they must be very provocative or have a damn good reason

Wish I lived in an area where people had to be provoked to lash out or be just generally nasty to others! Sorry to say but it’s a very, very sad world we live in!
Just been chatting to my brother in law this afternoon who’s a copper. He was telling me about how they get pelted with rubbish and even golf balls when doing traffic escort duty. No reason for it, not even like they’re trying to stop or arrest someone 🤷🏻‍♂️ There’s just some scum bags out there, more than you think.
