Warrant out for me

LauraLesleyLogan · 16/01/2018 18:51

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.

After catching up on this thread I have reported paperwhites

MarieNostra · 17/01/2018 21:39

I hope the OP doesn't get banged up for this. It sounds VERY harsh to me.

But I have really enjoyed all the Scots insults and verbiage. Hilarious!

Did you log in with 101 though LittleMe

I was a PA for a criminal court judge in the US for a while. He told me one day, 'I'm going to have a stamp made so we can just forgo the beginning of these oral depositions, waste of time because they are all, 'I don't know nuthin'. I was in my friend's house and the cops came and arrested all o' us.' ' Or the ubiquitous 'friend'. Got drugs, guns, stolen property? They're not yours, you were just holding them for a friend. But you don't remember the friend's name, or where you met him/her. Fancy that.

LittleMe03 · 17/01/2018 21:40

Ridiculous, unhelpful and bullying

LittleMe03 · 17/01/2018 21:41

Redglitter Grin

No just reported to Mumsnet how her posts are unhelpful and ridiculous

2018SoFarSoGreat · 17/01/2018 21:51

Oh dear, NickNacky You are giving Ms. Blabber Gob (Paperwhites) too much identifying information., We now know that:

  1. You look like a cadet
  2. You have been a cadet-looking officer for quite some time
  3. You have a good understanding of Scottish words, being Scottish.

I'm faird for you. Don't answer the door, whatever you do. Grin

Nicknacky · 17/01/2018 21:53

2018 Alas it was a few years ago so I think I have moved on from the cadet look. I might look like a probationer though!

expatinscotland · 17/01/2018 22:18

C'mon tae fuck (the means 'Hurry up', btw), Paper, get back oon here and tell us who you clyped to? I just put the weans tae bed and am aboot to go myself.

expatinscotland · 17/01/2018 22:20

I'm faird for you. Don't answer the door, whatever you do. grin

'a-feert', you're a-feert for her. Hmm

2018SoFarSoGreat · 17/01/2018 22:28

nope, Expat NE here, and it is definitely faird. Although I'm quite sure I have never written it or seen it written before. " Ehm awfy faird" is how we'd actually say it aloud.

Nicknacky · 17/01/2018 22:31

faird? Like pronounced fa-a-erd? (Does that make sense)?

Droopyrose · 17/01/2018 22:34

Also NE and we pronounce it fairt, would call someone a fairty, but writing it would spell it feart, fearty. Ya big fearty for example

expatinscotland · 17/01/2018 22:36

Oh, that's a new (and good one), 2018. Aye, much to be faird of. '999, What's Your Emergency?' is on just now. Interesting, but I made DD2 go to bed as they actually have school tomorrow (closed today due to bad weather) and she is 'well scunnered' wi' me. Oooo. Hell hath nae fury like a scunnered Scottish lassie.

QueenoftheSilverDollar12 · 17/01/2018 22:37

I think that @Paperwhites has indeed gone tae fuck. All fart and nae shite, that one. 😃

SnowiestMountain · 17/01/2018 22:38

Oh I really hope that the OP is ok, I keep checking back for an update Sad

Nicknacky · 17/01/2018 22:41

I still want to know how I pronounced the op's guilt?

Paperwhites, even pm me me tell me!

expatinscotland · 17/01/2018 22:43

'I think that @Paperwhites has indeed gone tae fuck. All fart and nae shite, that one. 😃'

I just fell out laughing at that one. I still ask DH sometimes, 'Where is fuck? You're supposed to go tae fuck, get tae fuck, c'mon tae fuck, away tae fuck but nae one ever tells you where fuck is? D'ye ken were fuck is?'

expatinscotland · 17/01/2018 22:43

Hope you're allright, though, Laura.

@expatinscotland I love how the Scots have completely derailed a (seemingly) serious thread.
Mon tae fuck eh?

2018SoFarSoGreat · 17/01/2018 22:53

Jist biding wir time til Laura comes back to tell us she is okay. Never a people to waste time, ye ken.

FannyFifer · 17/01/2018 22:54
