Ouch... At least it wasn't yesterday though - it seemed to be a lot warmer today than yesterday.

Don't know what it is with either - but if I tell my mam the night before where I'm heading, and it happens to be either of them, she'll say 'oh, wrap up in foil then'.

Consett usually gets a lot worse than Stanley for snow because it is geographically higher (if that has anything to do with it - i dont do geography anymore) although Stanley does get quite bad too. 

2 things annoyed me today...

1st, some sick cunt(sorry for strong language) e-mailed a link of an IS beheading video, I have a very morbid and sick attitude at times, but that is too much...even for me...Think it came from somebody I met Lanzarote on holiday 10 yrs ago, the idiot is blocked now

There are some sick fuckers kicking about, doing that to a 67 year old man, with very visible disabities is as low as you can go really

Scum. Put them up against a wall and shoot them is what I say.

I hate when old/elderly people get attacked, it really annoys me as they are vulnerable and can't react

(29 Jan 2015, 6:12 pm)Davie wrote I hate when old/elderly people get attacked, it really annoys me as they are vulnerable and can't react

Yeah, I hate when people target vulnerable, easy targets such as the elderly and disabled, it is just incredibly low to do something like this to a valuable person and any one who try's anything like is a total C-word.

Some elderly people do have the aid of a walking stick  
I absolutely understand what you mean. It's just greed if anything.

Just because they have a walking stick doesn't mean they can actually use it in an attack as they may be too weak to take a swing powerful enough to hurt the person attacking them.

It's just pathetic really.

I know I mention him way too much but I don't think my Grandad, who used a walking stick, would be powerful enough to use it to his defence when being attacked.

I was just trying to lighten the mood up a bit with the walking stick comment (hence the  at the end). The attacker would probably aim for the walking stick or any walking aid first to remove all defence weapons from the victim.

Do you mean vulnerable mate?

This kind of attack is about as cowardly as someone can go as low as, defenceless, disabled old man and 6 stone soaked through,he was easy pickings, he probably would not know how to adequately defend himself, it is reported he has left house and is frightened to go back, I hope the bastard who did this is caught and jailed for a long time...Would like to see him become Big Bubbas Bitch in Jail

Yes, wasn't paying much attention whilst typing, although he is more valuable than the prick who attacked him who will now be worthless scum.

It was pretty damn cold where I broke down.

I was delivering to a place just beyond where that lorry got stuck. Obviously, due to the snow, the hill, and the location of the lorry, I was unable to pass. Someone was coming down to collect the delivery so I wasn't really stuck or anything. Everything was alright then, all of a sudden, the engine on the van just cut out. I tried to get it started again but to no avail.

A recovery waggon came to winch the lorry out of the ditch. It succeeded, then the recovery waggon managed to get stuck in a similar position to the lorry. After a while, both managed to free themselves. While I was being seen to, another lorry - this time a flatbed trailer - attempted to go up the hill and managed to get stuck too. It was quite the spectacle - I wish I had of filmed all of this as it really was quite funny.

I will never forget the night I stumbled across a mugging in Murton, coming home from Durham on the 154(todays 265) Me and driver saw 2 people rolling round on the floor, we realised it was a female OAP getting robbed, I gave chase, but never caught him, luckily he got caught and was sent to jail, when I found out who it was, I was kinda pleased not to catch him, as he is a right hardcase, the kind of person who would not flinch even if you had a gun to head...

The bus driver ended up with a nicely worded commendation from me and the police and was probably the only time in history I have been praised for my actions by the Police as I used to be the one causing trouble and ending up in cuffs.

It always seems to start at Beamish Roundabout. Can be nowt coming past West Pelton, start on the climb up the hill and there's snow.

Saw this earlier. Tend not to read the stories or pay much attention when on the news, because it annoys me too much.

I've seen the man out and about in the past around Low Fell and Wrekenton. He walks everywhere. Why anyone would want to do that to such a vulnerable gentleman is beyond belief. The attackers need their heads examined. Absolutely sickening.

Simply because he is a defenceless, disabled old man, this cretin most likely would not dare stand to someone his own size.

It angers me,

1. Because he is a pensioner
2. Because of his circumstances

I have a cousin in his late 50's who is downs syndrome and if anything like that happened to him, I would have murder on my mind!!!

According to Radio Newcastle, a fund set up just after news broke of his attack, has raised £10k.

My brother's taxi driver was like that - he must of always insisted to do my mam's taxi requests. Once as we had been to Asda he seen a baby seat in the shopping - he asked who was that for - my mam replied that it was for a baby due in May - the following day my brother (Jacob) had told his school and mam that the taxi driver was acting funny (like not turning the music off and not stop singing) - the day after, Jacob refused to get in the taxi at the school - so my mam was called to go and collect him. Alternative transport was provided by the school in the form of a Variety Club Iveco minibus. That taxi company has never been used ever since - nosey bastard of a driver.
