Mattie Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Most of you who may not know me, i am a Fully Qualified Professional Dolphin Trainer. I worked in Florida for a few years and have recently moved to the Shetlands with my wife who is Orcadian. I am looking into starting my own business. Shetland Dolphin Pool Ltd.My aim is to have a small aquarium.This has been a great wind up. GK.Loved it. Was so simple too!A professional dolphin trainer wouldn't use such bad spelling if promoting one's self and business.You also didn't list your Zoological degree after your name? You would of had to have it if you have worked with Cetaceans on a professional basis?Referring to one's wife as Orcadian.. The word Orca springs to mind..You worked in Florida... Hmm... As for the small aquarium... What a goldfish tank? You also never mentioned what kind of dolphins you were going to keep?At least you have caused a stupid worthless debate on Shetlink!!Made me laugh Good gag.....

TeeAyBee Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Okay wind up or not, I have to say the thing that made me laugh the most was Lapse's description of George's opinions being a bit "Stuart Hill". He's now made it into the dizzy realms of being an adjective! Nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeK Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 [*** Thread moved to appropriate section***] Hey Folks. I have been in a meeting with the Shetland Development Trust and they did seem quite keen on the Dolphin Pool to go ahead. We are thinking to be based in Unst. A business plan is being worked on as we speak. So more information still to come. If there is anybody out there who is keen to be involved please do get in touch. gkippets@gmail.com EM, i think you would make a great trainer, and employee. If that doesn't work out i'm sure we could get you on Maintenance or even working in the cafe or gift shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepychef Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Perhaps I could be of assistance? When the dolphins die of injury neglect or just down right boredom I could maybe get the carcasses and sell them as Flipper Burgers at the next Shetland food festival, well its local produce for local people isn't it.....

That could possibly work in. I'll make a note of that in the business plan. We do need bakers. Would you by any chance know how to make a simple sponge cake with a iced dolphin on top? The burgers can come at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry madam but i don't think you would be suitable for the position.Thank you for your interest, if we need a baker in the future i'll be sure to let you know.

EM Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 EM, i think you would make a great trainer, and employee.I am wondering which of my attributes you consider make me so appropriate for this skilled position? Presumably not my swimming ability, which is minimal at best. ... Flipper Burgers ... local produce for local people isn't it.....It is quite interesting that apparently very few Icelanders actually eat whale, with the majority of restaurant whale servings being ordered by tourists. The extreme toxicity of the flesh being part of the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I can train your dolphins for you! I was asked to help (like a magician's assistant at a kid's birthday party) at a Dolphin place in the Netherlands a few years back. The dolphins did what I asked and so I think I am very qualified for this job. I am happy to commute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachcaster Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I am thinking about starting up a new business offering day trips to the moon. I have already trained my cow to jump onto the moon, instead of over it, so i am half way there. All i need is someone to write up my business plan, the council to throw money at the venture and i am laughing all the way to the bank. Perhaps you could let me know who is doing your business plan, they must be truly gifted if they have managed to get your proposal off the ground. I was also thinking of starting my venture in Unst as it is further North, and therefore closer to the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I would suggest basing the venture in Elvis Voe, then they can be taken on little walks to the nearby Bressay bridge where they can perform as a tourist attraction by jumping back and forth over it, maybe even several jumping it together. The Nort Mooth isn't for any other use anyway, and it'll be a nice distraction to help the tourists forget about the hundred odd windmills they've seen from ever conceivable angle.
