A Wick pensioner who caused a disturbance at a local pub was fined £150 at the town's sheriff court.
William McLeod became irate after a patron at the Mountain Dew Bar told him it was his turn to "get a round in".
The 68-year-old stood up and "gestured angrily" at the patron.

McLeod, of Nicolson Street, Wick, left the bar but returned soon afterwards and continued to "express his feelings".
Fiscal Depute, Grant McLennan, said that McLeod was ejected from the premises by staff but attempted to re-enter, shouting threats of violence.
The accused admitted threatening or abusive behaviour on October 1 last year, and a previous record of offending.
Sheriff Neil Wilson told him: "You should know better."
