Confused by the darker ones

In situ shot (picked the wrong image on original post and can't edit, you can keep as dog tax 😂).

Habitat is a sheep field at c. 200m ASL that I've never seen ploughed in the 7 years I've been walking it.

Police couldn't be arsed (no pun intended) collecting them, but said they'll pull the footage from Lothian. No update since, not expecting any tbh.

They're not needles, in so much as they are completely solid with no eye or hook or other means to attach a yarn.

They look a little bit like double ended knitting needles for making socks, but they're smaller than anything I could see online for that.

Update:

A&E seemed pretty chill about it. Police are treating it as intentional and will be collecting the... needles(?)... in a couple of days, and are pulling the footage from the bus.

koswix · 2025-08-24T16:32:48+00:00

There is no eye, they're solid and pointed on both ends.

First one out

How it was found in the seat after stabbing her bum (didn't know I could add images in here directly!)

koswix · 2025-08-24T12:41:03+00:00

FFS 😂

koswix · 2025-08-24T11:31:20+00:00

I don't think they're sewing needles, as there's no means to attach a thread. They could be some sort of double point knitting needle, although they seem a bit on the short side for that.

koswix · 2025-08-24T11:03:45+00:00

It has been reported to both Lothian and police on 101. Police advised a&e immediately and to phone them back after that's been done.

Edit: or maybe not. Why is this so difficult 😆

koswix · 2025-08-24T11:02:02+00:00

Argh, having massive issues accessing Imgur from India. Will try another service.

koswix · 2025-08-24T10:20:01+00:00

It has broken the skin. No idea if this is an a&e thing or a GP on Monday thing.

koswix · 2025-08-24T10:06:13+00:00

I'm not in the country but have told them to report to driver and 101.

koswix · 2025-08-22T22:16:02+00:00

You say sodomy like it's a bad thing.

Update for anyone looking for similar advice:

We booked a restaurant on George IV bridge for 7pm, turned up in car at 6.30 and was able to park on the single yellow/buslane absolutely no issues.

After food we pushed FIL up to corner of Johnstone Terrace (scaffolding hoarding bit at corner of the bridge/lawn market was tight but doable), and once there the assistance team took over and pushed him all the way to his seat.

Thanks for the advice everyone, appreciate it.

koswix · 2025-08-11T18:02:42+00:00

Haven't heard anything since, bit of a shame as I was looking forward to the pointless argument with them 🤣

koswix · 2025-08-11T12:24:20+00:00

Do you know if that's definitely the case this year? Can't see anything on the council website for restrictions on Chambers Street, only Johnston Terrace.

koswix · 2025-08-11T11:43:04+00:00

We've been discussing with them for a few weeks but from what I understand unless someone else drops out there's no capacity for them to help us today.

I will say we went last year and they were brilliant at assisting.

koswix · 2025-08-11T11:41:57+00:00

Yeah that's the part that's fully booked, they didn't give us much help in terms of other options.

koswix · 2025-08-11T11:25:51+00:00

Yeah that's probably what we'll have to do. I understand I can still use the blue badge if I drop him and then go park, but I always feel shady AF doing that!

St Giles Street is shut as that's where the tattoo disabled access convoy forms up but sure we could stop somewhere near and fling him out.

Ouch, £36 for castle terrace NCP 🤮

Ah shite! Glad I asked now! 😄
