Sergeant Wilson Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 3 hours ago, ICTJohnboy said: Back in 1662 William Christian was sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered. His wife appealed against the sentence which was changed by the Deputy Governor who decided he should be shot. This was carried out on the 2 January 1663 and an entry in the Parish Register of Malew states that ‘he died most penitently and most curragiously, made a good end, prayed earnestly, made an excellent speech, and next day was buried in the chancel of Kirk Malew Just goes to show it's always worth appealing a death sentence. Much like I think I might not feel up to a last meal if I was being executed, I'm not sure I'd be up for a stand up routine while the firing squad loaded up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Just watching a film about the death penalty in Pakistan on Al Jazeera (it was that or Stayt and Munchetty) and some government manny has just explained that where someone gets multiple death sentences they get hanged then the corpse gets hanged again. Lol. Funnily enough they do the exact same thing in Ireland. To be sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 This could probably go in a number of threads but here will do. My wife was looking through her phone calendar/smartwatch App and said 'oh, my period should have started on Tuesday'. After about 5 seconds she then casually said 'my mistake, it's this coming Tuesday' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kersey Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I enjoy looking at random places around the world on Google maps and Street view. I just looked Keith (the town in Moray , not some random fellah called Keith) and was surprised to see that it is a near perfect grid of streets, more like an American city than a small teuchter settlement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do stuff like that. During quite moments at work I go on virtual holidays on Google street view. Las Vegas is fun. If you go to the very edge of the city you can see desert on one side of the road and green gardens on the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Saw this story and just thought how things have changed. Bags of crisps and peanuts good enough back in the day for the munchies. Police carrying out a drugs raid on a cannabis farm in southern Italy have seized a stash of 235 frozen dormice - said to be a mafia delicacy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
