^^ Is there anyplace that's wilder than the south end of Fitful and Garths Ness in a SW gale. :?

 

Point taken though, anyone that can see the opposite direction has a far more sedate view, I can't, I have a "lovely" vista of a total concrete/tarmac/roof tiles collage with a hint of sky on top in that direction. :evil:

 

I'll try and be on my best behaviour though if it is the house I think it probably is.

well they are buying a place near the airport.

 

I hope they were warned before signing the papers that they're running the risk of having me as a neighbour. :wink:

 

Ah Ghostrider, do you have a motorbike? Sugar, I sold my Arai lid a few weeks ago! Never mind, you can still take me for a spin. :wink:

 

Given that our Solicitor is in Glasgow, he is signing most of the paperwork. I'm sure you'll be a fine neighbour - fancy giving us a hand unpacking then?

There is nothing wrong with social housing, at all........

 

unlinkedstudent...good luck with your move and I am sure you will get a verry warrm welcome

 

Cheers shetlandpeat - I've reached the mega nervous stage as settlement date edges closer. We are currently in a council flat so whilst I'm not against social housing, I'll also be pleased to move - not due to social housing but more to do with getting out of London.

 

I know some peeps have commented to me that it will be a huge change but I was brought up in Lincolnshire on the edge of the River Humber - I remember the gale force winds and the school closing for 3 days at a time when we got snowed in!

 

There's another thread about locking doors - having lived 4 floors up with no lift for 10 years with a security entrance system for the last five, it may take me a while to adjust so don't think I'm being rude if my doors are locked ... I don't want the dogs getting out and besides, if I'm sitting in naked, I'd probably scare you half to death before I've even opened my mouth!

Hope the love lorn person comes and tries it out you can always move on if you dont like it. Thats called taking risks-and its fun keep your home on mainland though.

Wind that can mean you can not stand up, but dries your washing in an hour. every cloud has a silver lining!

having said that washing also domestically abuses you on a windy day.

it is true its more expensive to live here but you will not buy rubbish you dont actually need so will inevtably de clutter which is a good thing, so i am told! by wife.

you will never belong here! person stating about sooth moothers dropping odd shetland word in is classic example of native attitudes. This eclectic language is a result of wanting to communicate with someone you like in an easy relaxed way, not an attempt to sound like them and is often subliminal. (if you ever speak to a scouser you cant help it). Give it a go! av fun if you dont seek pastures new its called living...............we can hae a pint :lol:

Could you bring some proper ale(please!) most of the local brew is like dishwater. :cry: Except the red McGregor from Orkney, which is the best beer ever. :P Or was until they changed it. I'm sure they weakened it when the label was changed not long ago. :shock:

Have you not found the Inn on the Hill (Westings) in Wormadale? Real ale! Currently London Pride and Abbot I think. I have not been there for a couple of days so I loose track of what goes on and off.
