paulb Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 as a non uk resident lets charge him for the rescue. he is of course free to use forvicks sea rescue services. we could aways send him a book on survival at sea, just as a sign of friendship to this small country. was this the first step in the re invasion of forvick. so would that be M.I.5 or 6. i hope mr bond had thermals on its starting to get cold.

Jumbo Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thats a very good point paulb, for all the fuel and time wasted he could hand over, say, a small bit of land in exhange??????? That would surely put an end to all these problems. Can't think hes got much else to offer apart from 2 buggered outboards and a boat that could be converted into a hen house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 i woud not put my hens in it. it needs some waterproofing. seeing papa sound in bad weather i would want a really good boat to go out there. maybe we had better build him a bridge. im sure the SIC could factor it into there spending. possibly after they have built the new high school.

JAStewart Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 His arrogance would inevitably land him in something like this. I can't help but laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I agree JAStewart about the laughing matter, but how much longer can Shetland put up with him exploiting the RNLI for his own personal mission? Whats going to happen when theres a real emergency and the RNLI and coastguard are busy rescuing (** MOD EDIT**)? I can only hope that on his return to Forvik an ill-tempered otter goes for him!

paulb Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 now what have the poor otters done to deserve that unprovacted attack. if mr hill wishes to feed himself to our furly friends thats his right and we cant stop him. as long as he doest start phoning the dog warden for help. i wounder if there were any pictures taken of this rescue sound like they could be quite funny. by the way how far out was he.

Jumbo Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Just to clear up my point I have no problem what so ever with Mr Hill’s goal of ruffling some feathers with his little island, good luck to him. He has the determination to follow through something he obviously feels very passionately about. The problem is he is wasting the time and money of the RNLI by using an unfit boat in a dangerous stretch of water. Has anyone pointed out to him that in a real winter gale the sea goes clean over his little island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandman1982 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 This muppet should be up in front of Sheriff Napier for wasting the emergency services time! He might just get the message then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 http://www.shetland-news.co.uk/news_09_2008/Hill%20vows%20to%20stay%20on%20Forvik.htm why cant this man be charged with wasting emergency persons time or endagering life. or we could just send him for a pych assesment.he plans to go back and recover his mdf boat. does this not sound like his other boating trip. he is either mad or stupid. possabily a compulsive disorder.send him the bill, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njugle Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I am thoroughly embarrassed. It is something I tried to avoid. No, it patently isn't. At night, in stormy weather, making a non-essential crossing in a low-gunwale square boat, crossing one of the most treacherous open water channels in the UK. That's like saying i tried to avoid getting drunk by limiting my consumption to wine. Or i tried to avoid a road accident by standing still in the middle of the highway. Or....or or or.... you get the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 "He didn't have a lifejacket on or a VHF radio. He had a flare but couldn't use it and by the time we got there, his mobile phone battery was flat.he did not have any rescue equipment after the previous events at sea. lets get him signed up with the college he urgently needs to learn some skills. there is something wrong with is thinking. if i needed rescuing i would go over the top with equipment the next time i went to sea.

oddtablet Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Think a demotion is long overdue for Captain Calamity ....also I have to agree with other comments ...maybe he should start paying for these unfortunate mishaps which may divert emergency services away from a real emergency.
