mainlander Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi icepick239, I'm still here and taking an interest in everything as usual! But since my posts on the Judane thread resulted in oddtablet making it clear that my views on Shetland matters were not wanted, I have not really been joining in discussions often.

I had you down as someone with a bit more testicular fortitude than that. Jump back in - your views are aye as welcome as anyone else.

mainlander Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I had you down as someone with a bit more testicular fortitude than that. Hah! Maybe the cold weather has resulted in my suffering from a hormonal imbalance. On the other hand, that's much more likely to be my age... Thanks guys. I'm sure I will dip my toe back in the water soon. Must admit, only posting about books and sweeties has been getting just a teeny bit boring!

Ghostrider Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 But since my posts on the Judane thread resulted in oddtablet making it clear that my views on Shetland matters were not wanted, I have not really been joining in discussions often. The opinion of one does not necessarily represent the views of the entire staff and management. Lets face it, regardless of whatever stance anyone takes, there's always going to be someone somewhere annoyed by it, and will tell whoever said it to piss off, they're not wanted. Differences in opinions are what makes for worthwhile discussions, even if they do unfortunately degenerate in to name-calling playground antics once in a while, the alternative of everyone singing from the same hymn sheet agreeing on everything would see this site die a death in days. All opinions are welcome, even if folk don't agree with what someone says, it can often be enough to make them see the subject from a slightly different angle, make them re-examine how they see it themselves, and why they hold the opinion they do.

RickB Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 http://www.shetland-news.co.uk/2010/January/news/In%20brief%20-%2022%20January%202010.htm THE Council’s economic development unit is preparing a detailed report on how successful its strategy of investing community funds into local businesses has been over the last 25 years. The report has been requested by council convener Sandy Cluness, chief executive Dave Clark as well as a number of councillors, to give the local authority some positive headlines. Councillors said they were frustrated with weeks of critical reporting after they agreed last December to write off more than £400,000 from two loans to knitwear factory Judane (Shetland) Ltd. Head of development Neil Grant said he was confident of pulling together a report within a couple of weeks that would include the amount of income generated over the years as well as the jobs created.Ive been trying to think of any success story all day. Unsurprisingly, none spring to mind.Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
