Girzie Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Apparently the new republic of Forvik has "Med Logum Skal Land Byyge" as its motto. Is this not stolen from the former AEI, now the Anderson High? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nithin happened wi da Alt 0246 attempt... Hit dus wirk, ir I widna be able ta spaek sae muckle sharn upö dis site.. Forgot to mention that my instructions assumed the use of the number keys at the top of the keyboard. If you use the number keypad, the Number lock has to be on.Somewhere on the web I found a list of codes for all the odd symbols etc.. Perhaps the mods can find it faster than I can find it again, if not I'll dig it out and post it as soon as I can. Also, I think that you can find some of it on the "Shetland written and spoken form" user group. If you click on reply to any topic there, the edit functions at the top of the page show most nordic letters, and therefore you can see the code for them,,, I think Cheers,Da Auld Een Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Para Handy Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 he made it on to radio 4s News Quiz with Sandi Toksvig given him some stick about itI foud her comments so funny that I had to stop and make to the toilet for a P but I have downloaded the podcast http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/newsquiz.shtml and select podcast and save as a mp3 file I have to wonder why Shetland get more odd characters per head of population than any where else in the world maybe it is something in the water But as it has been pointed out here by some he gets full marks for believes in a cause and as he is not hurting any one else as far as I can see I say good luck to him maybe Gordon Brown could pick up some thing from him when it comes to the EU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Not really read all of any of the reports on-line, TV or papers etc, but I'm sure I reading something about claiming the sea rights in a 200mile radius. Shetland times being down I can't do a correct quote, but doesn't that include all of shetland's waters? Has Stuart declared himself king over all of Shetland. Thoughts spring to mind as to what aquaculture businesses and fishermen think of Stuart's claim, pretty sure the oil companies won't notice him.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 What he actualy said was he declared control of his waters out to the median line (halfway) with countries across the water in 360 dgrs radius , where their is no other country that control will stretch out to 200 miles . So that would mean a thin wedge is his in a roughly westerly direction ( oot da mooth o da sound ) and quite a tight area of seabed around his kingdom in all other directions, although if you follow this westerly growing segment as it expands it will come to be a considerable area of ground .

Styles Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I hate that shetland seems to attract weirdos from south, but in this case i say as long as the guy is not harming anyone let him be. Better then a lot of the scum that come here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 The international interest in this subject is amazing. Ghostrider started a page yesterday on Shetlopedia. And, while he is still adding to it, the search engines have caught up on it, to make it the fastest running page ever on Shetlopedia.I have to admit, it is a very good bit of writing http://shetlopedia.com/Forvik_Island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonxie Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yes, that's exactly what I wondered ^^ Who owns the island? Maybe he's bought it from someone, but I would suspect it's most likely the council's isn't it? He bought it from Mark King - he of Giant Rabbit fame. And Mark King bought it from the, ahem, "Reverend" Glover - he of dog-shooting, car-stoning and buckets-of-poo-over-the-head fame. It all makes sense - he's just the latest in a line of Papa eccentrics. Still, it'll make for a great squad next January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
