woman jailed for eating pet hamster

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-64891212

A woman who was filmed killing and eating her pet hamster has been jailed for 12 months.

Videos of Emma Parker, 39, cutting the animal with a knife while it was still alive were circulated online, prompting an RSPCA investigation.
She admitted at Lincoln Crown Court one charge of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

The court heard Parker, of Belvoir Gardens in Great Gonerby, Lincolnshire, was addicted to Class A drugs.
A vet who watched the footage described the content as deeply disturbing and said the pet, which was named Mr Nibbles, would have suffered both physical and psychological damage as hamsters were prey animals which could feel fear.

During a police interview, Parker admitted the video was of her and claimed she was helping the hamster to die after it had been bitten by one of her dogs.
Parker said the incident took place at her home in mid-May, but refused to name those filming the footage, telling police: "They are not nice people".

Passing sentence Judge James House KC told Parker he had to take into account that Parliament had recently raised the maximum sentence for such animal cruelty from six months to five years' imprisonment.

but cruelty and violence against people attracts lesser sentences

A car that was left precariously on a Cornwall cliff footpath above a steep drop has been recovered.

The Mercedes was found abandoned on the stretch between Looe and Plaidy on Saturday morning and removed on Sunday.

Fencing was put up to close the path to walkers and recovery "was not straight forward", East Looe Town Trust told the BBC.

No-one was believed to have been hurt but the car's steering was damaged, they said.

how on earth do you get mixed up between a cliff path and a road

In all fairness most of the roads in Cornwall are like that.

well home today against a side in the bottom 4 and it finished Daniels 4 St Neots 0 so with the Yeltz winning and the tulips drawing it means we are still 9 points clear with 4 to play. 4 more points needed next up it's Gresley away (5th bottom) then the Tulips at home on Easter Monday then the bottom team (who sacked their 21 year old manager this week and got their 6th point of the season today) with the last game away at the Yeltz so hopefully we'll have it won before the last game

In the meantime looks like it's score draws all round for the regular participants in this thread.

I am guessing your last was in the wrong thread Edders.

I think you wanted the football thread that I never even glance at.

I always thought Yorkshire folk were a bit barmy

Gawthorpe coal carrying race marks 60th anniversary

The World Coal Carrying Championships marks its 60th anniversary later.



The event sees competitors haul sacks of coal through the streets of Gawthorpe, West Yorkshire, in a race to the finish line.

Organisers have received a record number of entries from people eager to take part in this year's contest.

Duncan Smith, secretary of Gawthorpe Maypole Committee, said: "Events like this are the lifeblood of a community and they mean so much."

Mr Smith said the race, which is held each year on Easter Monday, began as "a bit of banter between two men" in the local pub in 1963.

Since then it has grown in popularity and this year an additional women's race has been added to the programme for competitors over 40.

Men carry 7st 12lb (50kg) sacks of coal and women carry 3st 2lb (20kg) across a distance of 3,320 ft (1,012m), before reaching the finish line on the village's Maypole Green.

The race is timed by an original racing pigeon clock, as well as volunteers using stopwatches.

I can't believe something like that was ever invented

The Scottish Coal Carrying Championships take place in Kelty, which is on the other side of Fife.

(Don't think I've ever been to Kelty and, to be honest, would have to consult a map or ask directions if I had to go there...)

But the local MSP for my area is Willie Rennie, who was actually runner-up in the championship a few years ago

So kudos to him for that, but since he's a LibDem that's about the extent of my respect for him

In fact, he's one of those who think people with a penis should be able to identify as a woman if they so choose, so it would be interesting to ask him if he could have just done that and walked the female category in the coal carrying championships

That said, in the Kelty competition the women carry 25kg bags, as opposed to 20kg bags in Yorkshire. So obviously a hardier breed of women in Fife anyway, irrespective of what they were born with between their legs
