Driving back Friday. Thanks for mentioning Glentress. The cafe there looks a nice destination for a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only hope the sentence is to lock him up until such time as the tree grows back to its former height. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And based on the playbook kids work to these days, it will have likely been to show off on Tiktok. And probably how he was caught as I doubt CCTV is particularly effective in that area. Hope the empty internet validation was worth it, as even if he gets a light sentence, I suspect him and his family will have dirty looks from the locals for the rest of their lives.

The fact that they've arrested an adult as well seems to indicate more than mindless vandalism. But it was only a tree after all. Plant two more ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I have joined the Streaker Association. Not for the winter obviously, but the season begins next April so I'm hoping to be ready for it. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlesticks Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 13 hours ago, curlylegend said: But it was only a tree after all... I recall the story of a science teacher who had a poster up in his classroom with the poem, Twinkle twinkle little star I know exactly what you are An incandescent ball of gas A million times our planet’s mass A little Baptist girl in the class piped up, "I don't like that poster" The science teacher peered over his glasses with a condescending "hmm?" "That's not what the stars are", she said, "that's what the stars are made of". "We don't know what the stars are." A more scientific statement had never before been uttered in that classroom . "And anyway" she carried on, "why should I believe what you say, when you're just a bag of carbon and water"? Made me smile, anyway . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Maybe I should have clarified - a Streaker is a class of boat. I have bought one so joined the association. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I'm fooked 6day week and today's relaxing involved splitting a very large pile of wood, moving our big log store because the wife doesn't like walking across grass in the winter . Then filling log store with three dumpy bags of freshly delivered logs. Roll on Monday, maybe 7day week is best way to go. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete loons but make a lot of noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a shame not to get some use out of it ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
