Hello Porker - talking of being "sad" - what's your emotional state knowing that your "very special" case is now not going ahead? I really do wish you would tell us why. Surely you could have entered the witness box - you need not have lied. Or is it that which was worrying you? -- Porky Chapman bragged about the fact that he was taking someone he had accused of harassing him through the court system. All of a sudden his court case is off. Was it because Porky was scared of being cross-examined and having to answer questions under oath? Or did the CPS sling the case out because of Porky's "evidence"? Why won't he tell us? |

Cumbrian banned motorist drove to chase 'runaway' dog
Was it worth it?
QUOTE: A dog owner banned from driving took to the wheel to follow the animal when it ran away at Silloth. William Thomas Hornsby, 22, of Aldoth Road, Silloth, admitted driving without a licence or insurance when he appeared before Carlisle magistrates court. The court heard how police saw a Mitsubishi Shogun being driven along Aldoth Road, near Abbeytown, on February 12 and recognised the driver as being disqualified. They turned around to follow the car but lost sight further along the road and eventually found it abandoned in a farm yard. As they made their way to Abbeytown, they passed two men walking along the road. One was Hornsby, who they recognised and arrested. The court heard how Hornsby, who admitted both offences, was "very worried" about the dog but knew he shouldn't have driven the car. Defence solicitor Geoff Clapp said Hornsby looked after his 74-year-old grandfather, who had suffered a stroke, seven days a week. He looked after 30 sheep and 80 other animals and worked long hours every day, he said. He was very worried about the dog and knew he should not have driven, he added. Hornsby was given a community order for a year for driving while disqualified and was ordered to attend probation course for 10 sessions. He was also ordered to pay court costs of £85 and given six penalty points on his licence. http://www.timesandstar.co.uk/cumbri...errerPath=home -- Simon Mason |

But I wouldn't expect anything else from psycholists." in the reply you made to dr6092, which referenced my replies to your thread. Your own ruleset seems to negate this view .. ================================================== === Paul, you passed the test with flying colours, that's the main thing. You are definitely not a militant cyclist. Sorry for any inference that you were. It was directed at Doctor 6092. Regards Mr. Benn |
