DizzyKipper Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I hope it goes well... I won't be able to see it The live stream on the BBC relies on a strong 3G signal. There was no stream from Orkney, as I read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlinkedstudent Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 ...Events like this are valuable to Shetland so it's worth pulling out the stops. We need positive events in a doom and gloom recession. How? What is its value to Shetland? Are you talking £ & pence, morally or both? Ah yes, positive events in a doom and gloom recession - nothing like a party to bury bad news, such as Shetland Box Office charging for online/telephone purchases - you're allegedly getting a day's entertainment for free today so enjoy it while you can! Granted, the event in Lerwick has free admission unlike the one in Glasgow. Agree with you re the buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyKipper Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Thanks for the offer, that's kind of you, I have plans now... I will try and catch the live stream if they manage to get it to work... or there's always the local news tonight. Thanks for the thought.

Bubble Bear Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Just come back from the Relay.......what a fantastic success it has been!!! Thousands, and I mean thousands, lined the streets of Lerwick to cheer the Torch on! Everybody cheering, the Jarl Squad going a fantastic job as 'Guard of Honour' and great presentation on at the Clickimin!! I was also in the company of the media following the Torch throughout the country and they said, and I quote "this has been the best location, atmosphere and experience we've seen for the Torch relay"!! Now doesn't that speak louder than words!! We can always do it best when it comes to large events right here in Shetland!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the live webcam feed must have been supplying something else because it didn't look like thousands. There can't have been more than a couple of 100 (if that) at the pier, and there were huge chunks of streets with nobody on them. It would appear someone's tag line isn't working.

Biglad Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Right ya bunch o miserable windbags! Am been at da torch procession daday as well as a good few thousand others, thankfully the bitter, boring, keyboard warriors seem to be in the minority once more here a Slaglink!! Great atmosphere, lots of cheery, happy people, plenty to see and the weather held out. Whatever people may think about the olympics and the problems now associated with at least Shetland has put on yet again another bloody good show. And yes the Jarl Squad did us proud too, three cheers boys! UP YOURS YA BUNCH O BORING, CANNA BE BOTHERED, STAY IN DA HOOSE, SPINELESS BUGGERS!
