Horne and her daughter were arrested in Dornoch in Sutherland and imprisoned on the accusations of her neighbours. Horne was showing signs of senility, and her daughter had a deformity of her hands and feet. The neighbours accused Horne of having used her daughter as a pony to ride to the Devil, where she had her shod by him. The trial was conducted very quickly; the sheriff, Captain David Ross, had judged both guilty and sentenced them to be burned at the stake. The daughter managed to escape, but Janet was stripped, smeared with tar, paraded through the town on a barrel and burned alive.[2] Nine years after her death the witchcraft acts were repealed in Scotland.

Apart from being burned alive that’s just a blackening! A wedding tradition still done to this day.
FYI chap is Scots for knock. So it’s essentially called Knocky. That ain’t very Dickens.

It is my hypothesis the creature not only caused the crash of the truck, but has done so more often in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
She does have previous form, although she was on holiday in the Hebrides at the time

Don’t you worry, they have no qualms punishing cops that don’t adhere to the groupthink and institutional corruption.

Of course not, what nonsense! They were hitting haggis eggs back down into their underground burrow with a wee practice caber

Aye and no. Don’t get me wrong, golf courses are as you say fertiliser polluted and lacking in biodiversity. But the rough, surrounding the whole course, and the woods they’re often placed in certainly resemble nature. There’s still birds, foxes, squirrels, etc, going about.
Certainly in Scotland at least, which is my only personal experience of courses. And being the home of golf I don’t think it’s disingenuous for me to use that as a basis for the claim.
I have seen videos and pictures of courses in places like Florida though and if a Scottish course is a tragedy of nature, a Florida course is an abomination.

I don’t like golf, but at least it gives you an afternoon’s walk in something resembling nature
Cricket on the other hand, takes a week to play and is just running back and forth
Where does it say in the phrase “anything and everything goes” or in the 6 rules that this community doesn’t allow politics?
If you’re so unhappy with politics being posted here, as you seem to be by the regular complaints, then set up your own shitposting community without politics allowed.
And if you’re in the subset of people who struggle to register thirst, either through perceiving it as hunger or just not registering it at all; use the pee test.
If your last pee was yellow, drink some water. If clear or nearly clear, you’re fine.
If brown, drink lots of water and pray to Dionysus to become hydrated before the hangover kicks in.


first ever loss
had to cut over a thousand jobs
had to?..
An itch in my brain wishes they’d drive off like 50 Cent



Looking at the Orange Order I think we know which side is on the far right, sorry, right
