Arch Stanton Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 St. Valentine was a 3rd century Roman cleric who secretly officiated Christian marriages. Found guilty of heresy he was bludgeoned with clubs and stoned and when that didn't kill him, he was beheaded. Romantic, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about here but, what about here? He was only 20 years old. When was Thomas Aikenhead executed for blasphemy? 17 hours ago, tamthebam said: 1697 The last witch burning in Scotland was in 1727 in Dornoch. There's a lot to thank the Enlightenment for. Islam was founded 600 years after Christianity, so it has about another 100 years to go before it stops this sort of thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Off work (injured). Kickstart on my motorbike hit me on the ankle last Friday. After a few hours it was getting sore, so took my sock off to have look. Taking said sock off also took off a 50p size piece of skin to reveal a hole, couldn't walk Saturday morning as the ankle ballooned. Doctor gave me antibiotics and cleaned it up. Feel fine, but can't do much(need a Zimmer) is shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
