fleabee wir forebares cam up we fairisle ganzies an hats I ken when I couldna afford ta heat da hoose den dae cam in handy, time may move on and progress is never ending but some solutions will always work.

a quid for a can of coke remind me no ta shop the same place as you marvin. No VAT on newspapers a missed opportunity if you ask me, that could raise a turd load of money every day. Haven't bought one for years so definitely not a necessity. And as folks on higher incomes tend to buy more luxury goods, then they are paying more VAT. the biggest problem the country faces now is the labour party and the unions getting together to derail any progress the government try to make. I'm willing to bet a fiver that brother brian will be on a picket line somewhere near you soon.

not mad at all just replying in kind

So maybe we should send in the army to take control of this broken state after all if we just try to stop Shell some other evil conglomerate will surely step in and take over.

[***Mod edit - personal attacks removed***]

yes they are and they are paying loads of money to the nigerian government for the privilege.

I'm sure arabia terra will be on soon to refute those lies and propaganda from those notorious tabloid hacks

Brian you were the first one to accuse Stuart of being politically motivated yet your own politics rely heavily on Shetlands oil money remain within the grasp of Scoty socialists. Seeing as you are quick to a attribute Stuart hills conclusions of his reading of the historical documents to his political leanings then we must rightly attribute your conclusions to your political leanings.

unfortunately the man with unfettered access Brian Smith has his own political agenda being a scoty socialist, and they need the oil money to pay for all their grandiose schemes, after all hookers don't come cheap.

no problem we folks coming here just them getting public funds for their pet projects. I worked for private companies who approached me to go and work for them, no public funds involved at all. When my work was done the companies I worked for were better off financially for me having been there, the same can not be said for some that are coming here. and it all could have been put to rest last year if the councillors had voted the way their constituents had told them to after several public meetings. but they didn't so we are saddled with a white elephant that will cost all of us more than we can afford for the benefit of a few. and you can tell this from your crystal ball I mean business plan can you. a business plan drawn up by folks that have never run a successful business

what neo nazi element are you on about bresail. Or are you just another of those idiots that throw a nazi tag at anyone who's opinion differs from your all enlightened genius

groilick according to the dna folks that were up here recently my family wis here lang afore da vikings. the closest I've got to viking dna comes fae me mam, and sho came fae edinburgh. So I'm no anti soothmoother joost the soothmoothers dat come here an tell wis dats been here for a peerie while how much money we hae ta gee dem ta mak things right.

agreed gorgo dir is mony a damn fool been bred here, but a dis carry on ower a few selkies comes from a mind set not indigenous to Shetland. they come ashore to pup at this time of year and this is when they do the most damage to inshore fish stocks. when do you suggest they should be culled? After the pups are born they are dependent on their mothers for a long time so shooting them any time over the summer/autumn would condemn the pups to a slow death through starvation. Any later in the year and there is no enough o them around to make a cull feasible. Like you I think leaving the crangs to rot is a hellish waste. the simplest most humane option would be to follow the Canadian example and club the pups shortly after birth, then sale of skins would cover the cost. But then there is no hope of a sensible solution as long as soothmoothers with no clue about Shetlands environment make decisions on how to manage it.
