Evil Inky Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 People don't need to be warned about crazy gun-toting crofters who open fire on househunters, lost tourists, and innocent passers-by, for the simple reason those crazy gun-toting crofters are a figment of your imagination. Really.... I could PM you a list of names and addresses and/or map references you could try visiting, if you like.

zetlander60 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ghosty, The post you refer to is one isolated incident and you can't justify your bizarre attitude on the basis of that. I'm wholly unconvinced that there are many others with such an attitude, or is there some form of secret club, given that you appear to have a list of its members available to email? The whole sorry debate has been turned into a predjudiced rant and I don't intend taking any further part in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 For kind attentions of Mr Ghostly Rider Sir - I am informed that you have put your house for sale on this Shetlink internet forum. Please could you let me know when I can bring my wife, her mother, my aunts, uncles and children, to inspect inside your property at your earliest convenience? We like the outside very much. If you can find any house of mine for sale on this forum, that I have put there, you can go and inspect it all you like, as apparently you know more about things I may or may not have, or may have done than I do.... People don't need to be warned about crazy gun-toting crofters who open fire on househunters, lost tourists, and innocent passers-by, for the simple reason those crazy gun-toting crofters are a figment of your imagination. Really.... I could PM you a list of names and addresses and/or map references you could try visiting, if you like. Having problems telling the difference between Deliverance, The Wicker Man, and reality, are we? Who or what are "Deliverance, The Wicker Man"?

paulb Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 oh come on ghosty using papa stour as your reference is stretching it. they have been fighting since the 12th century. anyway that was not a house hunting related pycotic episode just a slight diffrence on an ecumenical matter. more a pile of poo really. mmm just thinking the wickerman and officaldom. however it would cost too much to import the willow. can't we do the chaining at lowtide instead. much better than burning. unless we rename it the pallet man. plus was the main trouble maker an englishman. not some old crofter.

paulb Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 unlink. as your not familier with crofting law just a small point. to gain a croft house that has not been decrofted requires the consent of the landowner and the current crofter. this then needs to go to the commision before a tenancy would exsist. only after that could the tenant start the process of decrofting and buying so very unlikely to be getting a lawyer at the hunting stage. and as long as the crofter is farming the croft there is no law that can make them sell. plus the ruin will no longer be classed as a house more as a agri shed.

Delts Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 When I speak to friends/family etc around the world about how friendly Shetland is, I say 'To live here, it's not about your accent, it's about your attitude...'

Evil Inky Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Who or what are "Deliverance, The Wicker Man"?Classics of the cinema, my boy, classics of the cinema. But, since we don't want you getting even more daft ideas into your head, perhaps you should stick to The Sound of Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel take heart, there's a lot of nice Shetland folk about and incomers as well It was a simple, and perfectly acceptable question. The problem was the choice of terminology and phraseology chosen to ask it, that was guaranteed to raise hackles, and it did. It ain't what you do, its the way that you do it....
