The proper drinking of Scotch whisky is more than indulgence: it is a toast to civilisation, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of man’s determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body and enjoy to the full the senses with which he has been endowed.

4th December 1745: saw Charles Edward Stuart Jacobite army reach Derby.
Many believe that the Jacobite that this could have been a pivotal ,moment doting the ‘45
It was a long march under the leadership of Charles Edward Stuart - also known as 'The Young Pretender' or Bonnie Prince Charlie. The journey was part of their bid to reach London and overthrow the incumbent monarchy of George II.
Altrincham a small town south of Manchester, and not too far north of Derby was about as far south as the Jacobites ever reached in their campaign. They eventually turned back. It is arguably the greatest ‘what if’ in Scottish history
If you can find a copy, the best account of the ’45 is by David Daiches in his magisterial Charles Edward Stuart: The Life and Times of Bonnie Prince published in 1973.
On 3rd December 1745 word reached Derby that a nine or ten thousand strong Jacobite army was about to arrive.e newly formed Derbyshire Blues, under the command of the Duke of Devonshire, decided to retreat fifty miles to Retford and left Derby to its fate.
True enough the following day the Jacobite army entered Derby, having marched south from Carlisle on 18th November. The entry of the army into the town was carefully planned to give the impression that Charles did indeed have 9,000 men, though the true number was a lot less. At eleven o’clock in the morning the vanguard, consisting of some thirty horse entered the town and ordered quarters for nine thousand men. In the afternoon the life-guards and some of the principal officers on horseback arrived and this was followed by the main body through the course of the evening; entering in detached parties to make the army appear as numerous as possible. The capital was said to be in panic and the Bank of England in chaos as neither Cumberland's or Wades armies were well placed to tackle the Jacobite army.
The next day, 5th December, the Jacobites called a council meeting in Exeter House to decide the best way to proceed. They were now only 125 miles from London, just six days march and while Charles wanted to continue south and take on London many were against this decision. With the two government armies behind them and a third army defending London some Jacobites were worried they didn’t have enough support. They had not gathered many men on their route south and the long-promised French help had failed to materialise.
Lord George Murray argued that during their march south they had seen more enemies for their cause than friends and he feared being penned in on three sides. He argued that even if the Jacobite army defeated the Government armies on the day, they would undoubtedly lose men and be unfit to face a second battle. If they were defeated so far from home then the reality was they would be captured and likely sentenced to death. The Prince was forced to admit he had no promise of support from English Jacobites and no idea when or if the French would invade.
The first pic is by English artist Tom Colley over a hundred years later, the next is the Bonnie Prince Charlie statue, Derby.
No matter what side you suppoert, I think it is a disgrace that we do not have a statue in Scotland of the Prince, and likewise there are very few to another of the Stewart monarchs Mary Queen of Scots.

Imagine Officer Sawamura having the night shift only to walk in to work to find Tanaka, Noya and Y/N in one of the holding cells
BHAHAHAHAHAHAHA the way I actually laughed put loud at this because you know some version of this probably happens 🤣
Daichi walks into the jail, headed towards the back when he is stopped by his partner.
"Hey Daichi, uhh before you go back there, you should probably know that there is some people you know in one of the holding cells," his partner says
Daichi sighs, instantly knowing who it was. He walks towards to back to see you, Noya and Tanaka standing by the iron bars, smiling brightly.
"Why am I not surprised?" Daichi asks
You, Tanaka and Noya 👉🏻😱 *offended*
"It's not what you think Daichi," you start to explain
"Ok well it probably is but never the less," Noya chimes in.
Daichi is just standing there like 👉🏻😐 go on...
"We may or may not have broke into the MSBY vs Adlers game," Tanaka says
Daichi is so confused, "why would you do that knowing Hinata and Kageyama would have given you free tickets?"
"Well the funny thing is we do have tickets but we thought it would be funny to scare Hinata and Kageyama so we hid in the locker rooms," Noya says
Daichi 👉🏻🙄 dear god-
"But don't worry! Suga and Kiyoko are on their way to bail us out!" You say 😃
Daich just rolls his eyes and walks away. He feels his phone buzz, picking it out and seeing a message from Suga and Kiyoko
Suga: we are definitely not coming to bail the three idiots out
Kiyoko: I'm enjoying the silence too much
Daichi can't help but laugh 😅

So I've just woken up (because I work nights so I sleep during the day) and my mind is literally filled with poly pairings and cuddling them both in bed. Like there's the obvious of kiribaku, but what about Bakugo and Shoto? 707 and Jumin? Fucking Imagine if Cove and Baxter actually let you have both of them???? Or Daich and Sugawara, and then you three become the official parents of the club ;')
Brb because I'm literally tearing up over this shit, I really want to write a ton of poly stuff
