I have not eaten KFC since I was courting.
2am, sat in the back of boyfriends black cab, eating a box of KFC. It was dark, I felt something odd in my mouth the wrong texture to be chicken, it was a full claw, covered in Colonal Sanders crispy coating.

 I stopped eating KFC when I kept seeing broken bones in the pieces with dark staining around it - a sure sign that the bone was broken when the bird was alive.

One used to live in Etherow country park, you might know it. It had a sett in land cordoned off from the public walks. We saw it a couple of times, and yes...they are a lot bigger than expected.

I have a feeling it's a pigeon that has nested with it's partner in the same tree for several years. Two of them used to sit on the branches in the Christmas tree, and they would build a nest every year.
A couple of months ago we noticed only one of them was there, have no idea what happened to it's mate.
Anyway, we will soon know if it's the remaining bird, because none will be up in the tree from tomorrow....

 Please tell us and when you have a little time please tell us the story of your two nesting wood pigeons.  Also please elaborate what is meant by the "Christmas tree" (e.g. was this a fir tree growing in your back garden that you festooned with lights and baubles?)

 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’d love to read about them too, please!

On a much sadder note, and given recent events, here’s a dilemma I’d never wish on any parent: If you discovered your son/daughter had committed a terrible crime, would you turn them in to the police?

It all depends on the conscious of the parent.  One needs to note also:

a) the parent might be mistaken of the guilt of their son/daughter  

b) if their son / daughter told them they committed a crime they might be lying in order to get attention from their parent

c) in general the police would be able to "track them down" if they were competent at their job assuming the perpetrator was unknown - unless it was a high level white collar crime such as insider trading of which politicians. judges, and police commissioners are likely to be participants

d) if they were fugitives from the police, then the police would already have them as suspects and the parent wouldn't have to do anything unless the son/daughter was hiding in the basement of the parents house.

I think the parents of the man who killed Charlie Kirk had no choice. Their son was very dangerous, motivated and hate filled, the messages he wrote on the ammunition he was using to murder his target proved that.

If my son or daughter was dangerous, I would have to turn them in to the police.

If there was a reason they had committed a terrible crime, in all honesty, I would have to think hard about it. Good people sometimes do bad things, so I can't say I definitely would.

 Vam, it would be interesting to know your take on the question you posed.

Hiya, Syl.

It depends on the gravity and the circumstances of the crime. Inflciting grievous, life-changing injury on someone, or (god forbid!) killing someone, or dealing drugs (especially to school kids) - I’d turn my child in. In a heartbeat.

Other than that, exactly what you said  👇🏻

“If there was a reason they had committed a terrible crime, in all honesty, I would have to think hard about it. Good people sometimes do bad things, so I can't say I definitely would.”

 I think that's the only answer tbh.

I saw a fictional TV series recently, it reminded me of child murderess Mary Bell, though it didn't advertise itself as having any connections.

It worked the other way round to the dilemma you posted.

A child killer, when a child herself, murdered a younger boy. She served time in an institution, was released, given a new identity, and went on to have children of her own.

The drama was, how did the child, now an adult, react when she discovered her own mother was the child murderess that the town had been gossiping about.

If anyone fancies watching it, it was called RUMOURS, channel 4 or catchup.

Here's a dilemma, but I'm not sure who for.

 

The three members of the Kingdom of Kubala, King Atehehe and Queen Nandi along with their handmaiden Asnat from Texas have set up camp in the Scottish highlands,  proclaiming the territory theirs after it was stolen from their ancestors four hundred years ago.

Some of the locals don't like it and have gone as far as to raid the camp.

I think they're harmless enough and should be left to their own devices but the authorities think otherwise and are trying to get rid of them

Queen Nandi has a facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/jeangasho

 Good luck with that one

 Are people happy about travellers pitching in parks, farmer’s properties…why aren’t these seen in the same light? 3 now but what happens if groups of people lay claim to land throughout the country?

😂 Gotta say there’s probably a very good reason why His Majesty up there is looking so damn chilled.

Apart from whatever the hell shit he’s smoking, he seems to have his very own harem going on over there.
