Bit of a short write up for something so special.

 

I would like to wish Lesley Simpson a grand time.

 

I see the suggestion of a mixed squad in Lerwick have got the lads knickers in a twist, tho it is always said that men can play women better than women can.

.....tho it is always said that men can play women better than women can.

 

I dunno, some of us simply just don't have the legs for a mini skirt.

Speak for yourself. I look good in a small tartan mini,,, or was that a small Austin mini??

Whit's happened to the vision of a Guizer Jarl that's 6'0" (minimum) and all hair?

Wi da look o things, I guess it'll maybe no be happening for a while noo - anywhere.

Och maybe Lerwick still, whar men are still men, (but still seem to be aboot 5'6" or there aboots)..

 

By the way Lass - Congratulations on a 1st.

[Ghostrider]

Things get done right, when we do them at the Ness.

[tarhellja]

[Ghostrider]

Weel so far as I'm aware shú's no alienated ony tourists by brandin dem soothmoothers or expressed similar tendencies via her internet site so somebody's doin something right..

 

An even tho shús a teacher, I bet dey winna burn da Gelley in a playpark

[tarhellja]

Ah'm heard mony a criticism o' Lerwick Uphellya, bit yon's a first. I bet dere'll be lots o squads in 2011 wi' a theme o' female jarls......

[joenorth]

Gyit da Lerrick boys in da halls butterin da bannocks and makkin da tay, and da weemin in da squads fur a change,dat'll sha aabody dat toonies is no really as backward as aabody tinks (an whit's a semi-orcadian; is it da sam as a 'plastic Sheltie'. Exactly whit pairt o' Ms. Simpson is Orcadian and whit is Shetland. Soonds a bit xenophobic ta me. Or mebbe just a peerie fun...).
