Ghostrider Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 They're trying to brighten up the barge with fairy lights At first glance I thought it was the usual crop of bird sh*te that usually covers everything around the pier. At least they're trying to make an effort, can't knock them for that. Although it'll be interesting to see what of its left come Monday morning.

Popular Post Kisses4Me Posted December 11, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 While the barge is an eyesore and yes it is fairly large my personal opinion is that most people are forgetting many things. one being the money that the men in those places are spending in local shops! you just have to look at the money that goes over bars to see that it is benefiting shetlands economy. the reason they are here has allowed many people employment that otherwise would have been unemployed. and if they really want to put fairy lights on the barge then so what? the lads are away from home and a lot will be missing children and wives over the christmas period.... so just a thought but spare a moment to think about them while your tucking into your christmas dinner and opening presents with family. oh and stop your whinin! people complain that local shops are being closed because there is no money coming in and chain stores are taking their trade. well now all local shops and bars have the privilege of making the most of the gas plant men.Also i have sat and listened to people goin on about how dead the town is on a weekend but now that their are people going out then the complaint is that its too busy?!! i mean WHAT? make your minds up. or is it just that you need summat to whine about or your day is not complete?

Equality Street Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 It'd be a pretty boring forum without the occasional argument, rant or a moan I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitzy Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Information Much activity today - looks like the Kalmar is on the move. She has been bounced around a lot these past couple of days and nights with the wind. Dont know where she is being moved to but assume it is the new pier out past Northlink where the Bibby Bergen was due to go and where the Sans Vitesse was. I felt so sorry for those on board crofter and Equality Street 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledi Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Yes, she's being moved to Holmsgarth number 4. The quay with the concrete ramp. I'd have thought this was even more exposed!, Edited December 20, 2013 by Ledi crofter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equality Street Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Well, I see they moved them in the end. The barges look pretty good where they are now actually.... Quite in-keeping with the Ro-Ro terminal and Shetland hotel aesthetic. And, of course, a lot safer for the barges themselves, as they seemingly found out once the first taste of a Shetland Gale was had. Now the good people of the barge are within hopping distance of the CO-OP, which I'm sure will appreciate the boost in sales, especially with Tesco's breathing down it's neck. And it's only a short stroll from the Marlex. A win-win for all, no? Edited January 2, 2014 by Horns 'O' Da Geo Piddly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Never mind, they're planning another one, *if* that's enough to appease the rabble's moans. Maybe the T will again have a good supply of punters living right on their doorstep if they can't find anyplace else to put her. Enjoy the beautiful? view of the Great People's Republic of West Bressa while it lasts.....it could be gone and replaced with so much cheap aluminum sheeting again as soon as this bit o' a SE'r blaw eases.
