Warrant out for me

[LauraLesleyLogan]

I've done something stupid and failed to show up at Jury duty which I know is so wrong though have had different things to deal with recently which I know is no excuse.

Now it appears a warrant has been issued for my arrest. I have had a phone call to say I have to go to the police station and could be locked up to appear in court.

Anyone know whats likely to happen to me. Proper bricking it.

Scary though self inflicted.

User, that is correct if the person has already been picked and is on the jury, not if they are simply there with about 50 others for selection. The clerk reads out the citation numbers before the court even convened to see who is there and the numbers of who are there are then put in the bowl to be randomly drawn.

Sorry @Ginger1982 I misread your post and thought you were saying there was no mechanism to back date at all, rather than as it applies in this case.

How could I have forgotten Bint!

Best insult I ever got at work...."you are nothing but a fucking cadet"

Cadets are like 16/17 so I was quite pleased.

Probably in a cue to make the complaint

francis I'm clearly speaking in vague general terms but unfortunately bothering the police with inane rubbish will not constitute wasting police time. Pity.

'I know exactly where you are talking about, expat

I work near Great Junkie Street. Enuff said.'

Ach, aye! DH always blamed it all the mayhem on 'those too'ers' (towers). As a young and stupid lad, he and his mate were glassed in a brawl that broke out in the horrid pub that use to be in Duke Street right near ScotMid before it was Tesco. All he saw was the bottle flying towards his face. He's still got a cracking scar over one eyebrow. His mate, still a good friend, never saw anything. He was too busy trying to finish his pint 'afore the polis came!' when someone broke a bottle over the back of his heid.

Do they still charge folk for wasting police time, Nick?

Not as often as they should sadly

'How could I have forgotten Bint! '

Or 'bam'. DD2 uses that one a lot. I got the tail end of her and one of the kids in her Scout troupe talking about some teacher or that and he had been upset and she said, 'Ye have to remember, she's one auld besom.'

Best insult I've heard was on 'COPS' years ago. This gal had kicked off, all hopped up on drugs. She was cuffed and told the female copper, 'If I weren't in these cuffs I'd deck you. Fake blonde! Miss Clairol!'

My favourite Scottish insult I've ever heard was a girl calling somebody she'd fallen out with "a fuckin' skip wi' eyebrows" 😃

expat Waaaahn Miss Clairol!

I must have other insults that I have just forgot about. I did get the finger raised to me from a four year old boy wearing a gingham dress. That was random.

Pray tell us who you have reported @Nicknacky to? Your mum?

I'm late to the party but that actually made me snort.

Can someone define clype please?

A Scottish grass.

Thank you @insertimaginativeusername 😃

Someone who tells tales

'My favourite Scottish insult I've ever heard was a girl calling somebody she'd fallen out with "a fuckin' skip wi' eyebrows" 😃'

PMSL! 'Face like a well-skelpt erse.'

One time, Downstairs Divy threatened all manner of violence on DH, as our gas meter is right outside his window. But I was outside on the veranda recording it all on my phone. So I rang the polis. Divy ran to a friend's flat in another close via his back door. But, since he is a divy, he failed to lock that door. So the cops just parked farther down the road, tried the door, went in, had a nosy around and were waiting with all kind of goodies when Divy thought the coast was clear and came back in. It was pure gold. Bet they're still telling the story.

Thank you Nick.

So how does that fit with clarty? I know that as dirty, especially a person.

expat years ago we had a housebreakings in a nearby area and a car was seen leaving. My area was made aware as it was registered our area and as luck would have it I had dealt with someone a couple of days earlier in relation to it and guessed where they would go.

We parked up and saw them lifting all the stolen good into a flat. Our gaffer came along and we chapped to door (no warrant) and surprisingly no answer. I got in the van, put lights and sirens on and drove away and the dafties decided to flee, opened the door straight in the arms of the cops.

Any word from OP yet?

Had JS at Glasgow HC recently and three failed to show up - saw them next day in G4S van coming into building.

Oh for insults- "last time I saw an arse like that it had a harpoon stuck in it"
😂😂

simon I'm not sure how we got to that lol!

! I would live for that shit! I love the people who are asked, 'Have you been drinking?' when pulled over and they say, 'I had one pint/glass of wine.' And they blow like 3 times the limit. They were telling the truth! They did have one pint/glass of wine, and then another and another and shots and a cocktail . . .

Another of my favourite Scottish insults:
The last time I saw a mooth like that, Lester Piggot was sitting behind it.
The last time I saw legs that thin, there was a message tied to them.
She had a face like a City Bakers Halloween cake/welder's bench/painter's radio

I don't think either the OP is coming back....
