NewMagnie Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ah - but when the Scalloway school shuts, the uneducated youth can be drafted as cannon fodder, much like they do in Glasgow. Scalloway would win a war of attrition, jsut going by the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lola Boomboom Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 If you feel that strongly about something so trivial why not stand by it and write to the lerwick uha committee instead of an anonymous forum?! ...perfect place to discuss an anonymous piece of writing.

NewMagnie Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Mods - how about running a poll on this thread to see how many pople have been personally or collectively "mentioned" in any UHA bill? Not to prove anything (personally I think having a dig at bairns in a bill is below the belt, but once you're over 18, you're fair game - nobody go misquoting that line though...) Just for fun - a lot of people don't htink they've "arrived" until they're obscurely namchecked in a bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 ^It's an interesting point NM. I've added a poll, with a third option, for those who object to the whole idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP8S Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 But Hey, It's UP-HELLY-AA! The people involved can do anything they want. The one day of the year that I don't have to hide my bottle of cider inside a brown paper bag! The plods turn a blind eye to drinking in the streets & probably a few other alcohol related offences also in Lerwick, on that haloed Tuesday of the year. So I imagine if council bye-laws can be disregarded then anything is fair game ? To call a bunch of kids village idiots when they're probably already anxious about moving to the High School is so insensetive that only a idiot would find it amusing though. I'm all in favour of the bill being a bit tongue in cheek at times especially if they're using satire to send up our interesting to say the least councillers, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere. Especially when it comes to children that may interpret it differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISOT Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Last post about this was FEB 7th! Someone said then it would be forgotten about in a couple of weeks. I think that person was correct, until someone drags it up again and starts going over the same crap again! Who gives a turd, its done, stop dragging it up, you'll just put it out into the public spectrum again! Maybe I shouldn't bite but christ, with whats happening in other parts of the world today, does it really matter about a few little words written in the bottom of a huge banner that you would need 10x optical zoom to see?

shetlandpeat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Lit me tel you a peerie story My barins ta book wis caad Mein Kampf This book was mixed with "Myths of the 20th Century" That made it more of a nightmare and a reality. I think that book did more harm. Anyhow, to be mentioned, with humour on a publication can be damaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marooned in Maywick Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 The one day of the year that I don't have to hide my bottle of cider inside a brown paper bag! The plods turn a blind eye to drinking in the streets & probably a few other alcohol related offences also in Lerwick, on that haloed Tuesday of the year. Mmmm, nope. The bye-law permits public drinking on two days in the year - Ne'erday (or Hogmanay...can't remember which) and UHA. So you can quaff your cider with impunity...best check the correct dates though - you don't want to believe everything you read on the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crofter Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 The bye-law permits public drinking on two days in the year - Ne'erday (or Hogmanay...can't remember which) So, you are either allowed to drink before midnight, but not after, or not allowed to until 12? Bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
