Ghostrider Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Shetland library will host the evening event on 5 May when Ms Cleeves will be supported by acclaimed fiddler Christ Stout. Okay, so he's pretty damn good at what he does, but is this maybe not taking things just a tad far!?! http://www.shetland-news.co.uk/2010/April/news/In%20brief%20for%2020%20April%202010.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I just returned from a trip to Japan and Korea...there's a LOT of English on signs, t-shirts etc that either doesn't make sense or is unintentionally hilarious. Here's my favorite example. Sorry for the poor quality, I took the picture quickly so I wouldn't be noticed. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs419.snc3/25220_1437601301315_1271482765_31273173_4495356_n.jpg The sign in the middle of the door says something they probably didn't mean.

Ghostrider Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hmmm, it really must have been very much warmer in Shetland in the past.....

EM Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 do not call someone's ad as fake, because he or she has a reason for selling the abject...Given the stereotypical image of how pets are farmed, that mistake has an interestingly Freudian angle . Abject objects indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchieSquirrel Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 When I was looking some bits and bobs, I found this page-a-day calender page which said the following: Allisonville NurseryWHERE HOME AND GARDEN MEET FRESH CUT PEN*S - $7.99 Then at the bottom of this page, it was a sign at an Indianapolis nursery - which was supposed to say "peonies" and was later corrected.

EM Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 In the Shetland Times article about the upcoming Cerys Matthews event in Mareel I noted the following: Neely is an American-born record producer, drummer, orchestral arranger and multi-instrumentalist. He is a member of scared music collective Bifrost Arts and has served as a composer, arranger and musical director.Intrigued I checked further and found that Wikipedia used the same term. Given the holy nature of the named collective, it would appear more likely that sacred was originally meant. Maybe sacred music is scary for some. Gave me a chuckle at any rate. Despite not being a God squad type myself, I think the concert looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdboy2002 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 One of this year's tourist booklets contained a great typo about the Mareel... it said it was due to open in 2021 instead of 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Found on an ebay listing from somebody in Thornton Cleveleys: "I always obtain proof of postage and will not be held responsible if your package is lost, however I will provide you with the receipt so you van make a claim against the oat office". Clearly porridge is done differently in Lancashire than Scott's do it, its maybe a Quaker way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
