Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Now *there's* a headline.

He can't even expose bare skin below the knee :-o. Raises certain questions about the original incident.

"Terrified woman lobbed toothbrush at charging pigs, court told."

Not just any pigs either, but massive rare breed Tamworths.

An East Lothian farmer is now on trial, accused of culpably and recklessly allowing the pigs in his care to freely roam.

In proper News Quiz style, our thanks go to Santababy of Edinburgh for alerting us to this porcine palaver.

Toothbrush? Did the pigs have dirty teeth?

A bit racy for The Courier, I thought:

"Perthshire scientist’s premature ejaculation treatment can’t come quickly enough"

thecourier.co.uk

(I've been reading "Angry people in local papers" on FB. Lols aplenty.)

"Woman covered ex in milk and brown sauce"

"A woman threw milk and covered her estranged partner with brown sauce while carrying a child." As the incident happened in Patna (Ayrshire), I am disappointed that no rice was thrown in.

cumnockchronicle.com

Sheriff Mactaggart deferred sentence on the accused for six months and ordered her to be of good behaviour.

(The advert underneath read "Create a happier home with the psychology of colour". Not in this case, it seems.)

-----------------

The sidebar also offers up "Man attacks partner with tea towel after kitchen bust-up".

Ha was found guilty of both a tea towel and a cushion.
