Out poaching and he drops deid!!!

[G.C.]

This is what happened, (allegedly.)
Couple of mates out late one night to get a beast or two off a the hill, something they had done many times over the years (allegedly.)
Now, both are getting on a bit and aren’t doing this because they need the money they just do it for the thrill of the hunt,for the buzz the adrenalin rush, maybe just because they can
They had been out for a couple of hours and killed and gralloched the beasts then carried them back to their van when one has a massive heart attack and drops dead.

What would you do next ?

Allegedly, he left his mate there, he was, you know, like the parrot and went to get rid of the things that he wasn’t meant to be in possession of, the beasts, the blood soaked van, the gun. basically the things that could have had him sent to jail. Once that bit of housekeeping had been taken care of (couple of hours later,allegedly,) he called to report the deid bloke to the authorities, they weren’t very happy.
Now I’m pretty sure that had it happened the other way around then the same course of action would have been taken.
Was he wrong?

What would you have done in that situation ?


Disclaimer, I do not condone poaching in any way, but accept that for some folk its an important part of their culture.

With exceptions and that's one of them. The correct spelling of "deid" is deid which for any English people looking in is Lallans for "dead".


Mair tae the point, this is a bit like one o' them hot air balloon an' man lying' deid in the middle o' the field riddles isn't it......

Buggered if Ah ken.....Ah'd huv tae mak it up as Ah went alang.....

Ahh now....y'see.....that's where the Wikipedia Lallans Dictionary would say that the Lallans for "died" is dee'd....

http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Scots-English-Scots_dictionar#D

....as would this....

[G.C.]

Aye, but. What would ya do, if yi wir oot on the hill n the shit hit the proverbial ?

 

[arcboutant]

'"died" is dee'd....'

the dictionary is correct Mike.

deid is said short and quick, one 'e' and a a shortening with the 'i' ,
whereas
deed prolongs the 'e' (because there are two!

well a' ken whit a' mean.

anyone want the spade next

How can you be sure he was actually deid? I've seen Casualty and know just cus someone looks like they've snuffed it, the guys from Holby, or is it Brizzal? Can bring them back to life with a few 'shocks' and a needle in the side to re-inflate the lung!! They's good they is

 

[Klanky]

I'd do the same...no,....cleaning up etc. - not putting the 'i' before the 'e'

No point in dropping yersel' in the shite, you could say that you were out for a walk and got seperated...eventually found your mate a couple of hours later....

The house we living at the moment had one of it's previous occupants die in the living room chair. His long-time drinking buddy (who still lives next door but one) came in first thing in the morning for his regular sunrise 'tinny' and found his oppo dead.
Thought he: "well, no point in wasting these" and proceeded to sit on the sofa and drink the six cans of Special Brew that were next to his dead chum before phoning the authorties.

Sounds fine to me.

Well, his condition wasn't likely to improve was it?

Think he's fairly deep in it already.
The lads were well known to the authorities, the location and the gap of a few hours before the call went in raised suspicion immediately, he was locked up for the weekend with various charges “Perverting the course of justice” being the main one.
They had many run ins with the police over the years. The more the police became frustrated the more they enjoyed it. Some years ago, when in their prime, the police received a tip of that they were in a car heading back into town with a boot full of Salmon.
A trap was set with the only road blocked by the police with an additional two cars further out ready to pounce and block them in. The car duly came along, sticking exactly to the speed limit, the trap was sprung, the police demanded to search the car with the occupants objecting strongly but eventually they were forced to concede.
When the police finally opened the boot, this is what they found.

Well, his condition wasn't likely to improve was it?

I agree, deid is died however its spelt
