peeriebryan Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I think that we should try to get more older people involved in Shetlink.I completely agree. I got my Mam registered but she hasn't posted since I stood over her and made her do it! I sometimes see her login name at the bottom o da screen lurkin aboot, but she dusna say much (which is unusual fur my midder. She's usually a right sheeks!) Anybody got any ideas how we could encourage da older eens to come on board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudias Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I'm in the "Almost Senile" league and Male, Drew. My tastes in music are Debbie Scott,Shoormal,Willie Hunter and other such Shetland folk,none of whom get a mention on the music pages. I wonder if the living ones will ever get an invite to the CMV?

peeriebryan Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hey dollydodo, welcome to Shetlink. Next time I'm on the boat I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for somebody with Pink DMs singing Pink Floyd songs whilst suspiciously drunk (considering they're only drinking water). I'll come over and introduce myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
