Yeah. I don’t like those source types. Especially Garda sources and, even worse, informed sources.

I think you’ll find that the anonymous source is a far more feaky-deeky character than ‘local woman’ could ever be.

He’s anonymous, dammit, so he can be as wild as he wants.

That lends itself to far more speculative nonsense than fact ever could. And local woman is all about the fact.

Back to ‘the man in the street’

Yes. Also, trucks will still “overturn” and rivers will still “burst their banks”.

Will those who are being murdered continued to be “named locally”?

Well at least they’re sourcing their stories from somewhere and not just plagiarising poor defenseless bloggers and their work…

eh? :-P

They can still rely on a local resident who asked not to be named.

A man walking his dog must be a budhist too, as he seems to always be the one that is killed whenever there is a storm. Ah, it is 120 mph winds outside, I think I’ll take the dog for a walk.

Essodee.

The man out walking with his dog is probably best avoided.

Notice every time a body is discovered in a field or the forest, by the riverbank, in the desert, up an alleyway….anywhere in the world it seems….who’s reported as being the first on the scene, our mutual friend “a man out walking with his dog” . It’s like one of those English TV murder series where an idyllic little hamlet has a weekly murder rate higher than East L.A. - the man with his dog seems to turn up at the most unfortunate of times and disappears into the fog until the following morning, perhaps for yet another gruesome find unless Rex gets into fight with a swan and the ramble is curtailed before they come upon another corpse.

Maybe the “Leader” will now turn to dog walkers for their source material following the sudden loss….just be careful, that dog ain’t sayin’ nothin’ without a reward.

thats really awful, so does that mean that given they don’t have an unnamed sourse to “quote”( no, thats not tautology, the word quote needed quotes) that they’ll have to stop making stuff up and actually get up off their arses, I’m sure the hack union will have something to say about that, “they’ll need paying for that, I say, paying”, one sourse close to the union is said to been heard saying over lunch at a nearby table.
