When the journalist Brian Rowan entered the fray in North Down he made it clear that he was tired of covering bloodshed. Unfortunately noone explained this to the dog who decided to sink its teeth into Brian's sister's hand today as she posted a leaflet through a Bangor voter's letter box. A quick visit to the GP's surgery and a tetanus jab followed. It's a risky business, this politics. I think I shall stick to journalism.
