I'm of the opinion the LPA have a God given right to do what the fuk they want! To hell with anybody or any institution in their path. Let's roll back to 1877 when an Act of UK Parliament was passed to give the "Lerwick Harbour Trust" the ability to 'act' as an independent statutory body and be governed through it's own legislation. [...] deletion of a vast and in-depth rant on SIC, SIC Port and Harbours, Sandy Cluness, various other things to do with utter [...] Let's not forget the barges are there for a reason. They house workers for the furtherance and development of Sullom Voe. Berths and income obtained within LPA's environ enable them to further develop "Lerwick" and all the secondary and tertiary businesses that can flourish because of them. Sitting trüteling about any short term change or even simple aesthetics of what is effectively an industrial site misses the entire point of life on Shetland, no? Let's be honest --- Shetland isn't this dream nonsense Up Helly Aa Viking 'n lovely spring lambs jumping through heather nonsense dreamed up. These things have their place but, seriously [...] further Friday night ranting deleted [...]

Shetlink is introducing paid advertising in the "Situations Vacant" section in line with the "Trade/Commercial" section. £9.99 for 14 days rotation against the above Terms & Conditions. Why? Any revenue accrual against these sections will assist in the continued upgrade and development of Shetlink; a new server perhaps?

Thanks for that, though Just Me, I was not talking about farms. Though, on that subject, I am sure if you do not look at something then you can only see it in the minds eye if you have seen it before, however, the barge is there, the "farm" is not. I suppose though, unlike the M.O.D., these will go without lasting impact on the environment, but unlike the M.O.D., will not leave anything that is as quite historical that is worth preserving. As for black gold/gas, it is all carbon, carbon is perceived to be black generally. Sadly, in what ever form it has come in, be gas, coal, oil or diamond, there has been death, fraud, greed and wars about it. While the barges are there, they should be supported, I do not think the negative comments about those who may inhabit them a good thing for relations, show a little of the small mindedness of some folk.
