POLICE in Ringwood are investigating the circumstances surrounding an injury to a dog’s nose.

A woman was walking her dog and puppy, when her puppy ran off. Her dog ran after the puppy but collided with a male dog walker and his dog. The woman's dog received an injury to his nose.

Local?! Nay, lad, this one's gone national! From the Guardian Diary:

Sometimes stories just pass the national press by, so we're pleased to bring you the following, courtesy of the Salisbury Journal: "Dog injures nose: Police in Ringwood are investigating the circumstances surrounding an injury to a dog's nose. A woman was walking her dog and puppy, when her puppy ran off. Her dog ran after the puppy but collided with a male dog walker and his dog." More details as we have them.

A digger fell off the back of a trailer and crashed onto a woman’s car.

The woman was treated for shock following the incident in Cavendish Square, Eastbourne, at 3.30pm today.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: “The woman called us following the incident and it was found a mini-trailer had fallen on her car.

The road was partly cleared by 4.15pm when she was still being treated for shock.”

I would dearly have loved the poor pooches injuries to have been caused by a communicable and contagious canine fungus,caused by an irresponsible breeder,if only to provide the headline;

'Police Arrest Ringwood Ringworm Ringleader'.

Quite literally a crap story:

While not exactly from the local paper, i felt this story was particularly crap because of the writing involved. From the BBC we have a news story that our sense of smell may be derived from a bit of quantum physics. Sounds cool enough to me, but one only has to read the first paragraph here to realize this author has absolutely zero shame:

The theory that our sense of smell has its basis in quantum physics events is gaining traction, say researchers.

The idea remains controversial, but scientists reporting at the American Physical Society meeting in Dallas, US, are slowly unpicking how it could work.

LMAO! I wonder if this vibrational theory will help us to identify rogue farters in the future.

Love the coincidence of this page starting off with a story about a dog with no nose and (almost) ending on one about how the sense of smell is based on quantum physics.

That answers that old question, then.

We have recently had the old racist “Dog being served in Chinese Restaurant” story circulating the town with a slightly different twist.

A poor soul was admitted to casualty with something stuck in their tooth, which turned out to be a micro chip, that tests revealed came from a dog. Source was traced to a local Chinese restaurant, which, subsequently, was shut down when police (and riot vans) discovered another dog in the freezer.
Problem was, no one could say exactly what restaurant it was and none appeared to have been shut. Such was the extent of the urban myth, that the local paper, today on their front page, ran a story stating that no such event had taken place……………However (and this is true) a local butcher had received a warning because he had stored his deceased Jack Russell in his freezer whilst waiting for it to be cremated.
