Strange People in Portobello

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 07 Dec 2006, 23:17

I was walking the dog this evening, walking along to Daisy Park when this drunk man lunged at Bess. I was a bit freaked out. He then got down on his knees and pretended to be a dog. I was scared.

Geez, Sandra, I'm not surprised you were a bit afraid. I was round there tonight as well but glad to say I didn't meet your friend

I'll be on my guard from now on though.

Even better, you could get down on all fours and pretend you are a guard dog, that would sort him out.

You can laugh all you want Porty, but it was a bit scary.

What are you trying to say about me

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 07 Dec 2006, 23:28

Sandra, i'm not laughing. It must have been scary for you. Its probably, hopefully just a stupid drunk. Hope you are ok.

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 07 Dec 2006, 23:44

I'm fine, just thought you would all like to know.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 07 Dec 2006, 23:53

What time did this happen?

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 07 Dec 2006, 23:58

just about 6 ish

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 07 Dec 2006, 23:59

Wow that is early for that sort of s***. Was it an older guy/

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 07 Dec 2006, 23:59

It was about 6.20 when I went round, no sign of him then.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 08 Dec 2006, 00:01

I wouldn't be so sure Teddygirl, maybe he was standing up talking to one of his neighbours by that time?

We should set a trap for him in the park.

Lets get a see-saw type thing, a couple of fire hoops and a fence for him to jump over. He's bound to take the bait.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 08 Dec 2006, 00:09

He's like a bone with a dog.

Pal of Porty · Post by **Pal of Porty** » 08 Dec 2006, 00:18

Maybe it was a friend of George Galloway.

bearcub · Post by **bearcub** » 08 Dec 2006, 00:41

Think he was just looking for a pedigree chum

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 08 Dec 2006, 01:42

I agree it was a very strange thing ... but maybe he was just barking??

I'd never thought of it that way.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 08 Dec 2006, 10:14

BTW he should be hounded out of town.

Poor Sandra, that must have been scary. If it had been in the summer you could put it down to Fringe show mentality but at the dark at this time of year you just think MENTAL!

Poor Sandra. You must have got quite a fright. Glad you're okay now though.

Not a nice thing to happen! Hope you are okay. Also hope Bess is trained to bite strange men

Thanks for your concern everyone, I'm fine now
