When I was young she stole my milk. One day there was milk, the next day there was not. Evil witch.

Pooptastic!

I've never come accross the Gilbertson park toilets, are they a bit less visible than the Clickimin ones? Do they have the facility to just roll up in a van and leap in and out, or is the parking a bit more involved? I ask mainly because in my line of work we rarely use Gilbertson road, but use the Lochside road a lot. Thanks for the tip,I shall investigate further...

I'm not sure that the staff at the leisure centre would be overly pleased about filth covered workmen soiling the floor with the detritus from wir boots several times a day. Havng said that, it could be an effective way to get the bogs re-opened, as I reckon they would get pretty peed off PDQ. Also it probably costs more to keep the carpets of the centre clean than the purpose built, wipe clean surfaces of the public toilets, leading to not much cash saving after all. Ghostrider makes an excellent point regarding laws and provision- they'd be quick enough to fine me should the lizard be drained round the back of the closed facility, but until they are re-opened, that's probably what will happen. Perhaps they could install a security camera to catch the varmints who pee on, rather than in the loos.

The toilets at the clickimin have been shut, and I'm not very happy about it. When one is oot and aboot in the van, it is by far the most convenient, erm, convenience to use because of its ease of parking when said van has a trailer attached. A really helpful map directs you to other bogs miles away , but this is of little use when you need to drop the boys orf at the pool RIGHT NOW. I know that we all have to put up with this cuts bullshine while 35,000 census nazis are getting paid £500,000,000, but this really is inconvenient and I'm not happy aboot yun. I know several other workmen -who are afterall the backbone of this industrious isle- who are most put out by this outrage. Whit du you mak o dat, den?

Nice one. Great to hear and see how this pair have developed since their last gig here. It's a funny thing to watch a duo who feel like a whole street gang, but then, musical intruments can do that to people. Anyway, wasn't just The Fire And I playing Last night. I love the Legion as a venue. Even when populated by less than a third of its capacity, it can Buzz. One can sit right at the front and hear a great local band and see nothing due to fanbase dance moves. Or one can slink into the darkness of the side wings and hide several fingers of rum and really get into the music and appreciate the P.A. skills of Mr. Hook. I don't know where all the rest of you were last night, but I heard some R'n'R that was almost loud enough last night, and in Lerwick too. Felt like a club night in the middle of Manchester. There was not enough of it, as it "should" have started earlier and everyone arrived suitably night-time, I went out for a smoke 4 songs into the headline act and returned to a "disco";it was too f**king quiet, as I've already mentioned, and none of that matters because the tunes were excellent, and there were no idiots. In the olden days there may have been a lock in and The Last would have played all night, and for a tenner I want that party to go on until at least 3 a.m. The Last have tunes which make you want to hear more tunes like the last one, and this they deliver. My Chemical Romance and QOTSA pulling Arctic Monkeys tight stop-starts, and leaving melodies in yer ed like sea mines for later. TFAI have the attitude and product to be massive. Haven't heard the record yet, but live they are top quality. Cool, melodic and high-energy dance done like muse with Moon sitting in every few bars. Good writing and showmanship, Old school performers, I like that. I haven't been out to watch a band with my Girl in ages, and I saw two bloody good ones last night. And saw some excellent folk who were also having a marvellous time . Atmosphere:Priceless. Thanks A Northern Soul for keeping it rocking, the Lady Loved it!

Thankyou very much, Blondie, that's very helpful. Cheers!

How many is one person allowed to buy at once?

so many dogs, so few recipes.

^^ These three words.

Done!

That's a hot new band you've found there- love that ultra modern sound!

Females who leave the barcodes on the bottoms of their amazing high heels, and girls who wear short skirts and then spend all night pulling them down. Oh well....

WTF? There are millions of women who aren't giving it away for free, that is surely what the rage is about.

FML- Deadmau5.

YES. More please. More drum and bass. Lovely.

Apologies to all for grumpy, ill-mannered postings: no excuse but it was a bad day today. Sorry. Move away from the computer, Farkoff.

^^ well put, Zebedee ^- Hillarious.

^Did you mean "tenuous"?

^ Fair play, I stand corrected. About shetland grammar. However, I don't really give a toss aboot dat( in fact, I'm kinda glad that it winds y'all up, although I don't think I'm being given any credit for at least making an attempt on the Shetland dialect) It's the attitudes I'm reading about I don't care for. The same attitudes can be found in many small communities worldwide, including the one I came from. As for being told where to go, I'm not having that, from anyone, insect or otherwise. Thanks for your suggestion, though. As a British citizen, like you I presume, I am free to live anywhere I damn well please and that is all there is to it. Oh, and it's "bye bye",, by the way.

Howd the gig go,mate? Michael make it ok?

Purebred=Inbred. So what about hard working, law abiding, decent folk, who have settled up here and have , through a combination of circumstances known to many as "life" found themselves unemployed,sick, poor, and unwilling to learn norn. Must these unfortunates be given a coracle and banished to orkney? It is possible to require help from the community without having ended up in that position through crime and drugs,as you may or may not know. The tone of many of the posts here suggest that no purebred shetlander would ever be capable of doing anything bad of his own accord, but instead is easy prey for the evil soothmoother who comes here taking oor jobs, stealing oor fine bonnie lasses and getting oor peerie bairns addicted to heroin. Why should we help those with problems at all? After all, if they had listened to the wise elders and learnt a proper trade they would never be in such bad shape, and shetland could remain comfortably like the Wicker man in 1973. Shetland is going to have to change whether some here like it or not, and if you think it's getting bad here, well have a look around at what is happening elsewhere. We are all only two paychecks away from the gutter, apart from those with a correct and documented shetland bloodline. All this "soothmoother" crap really winds me up, as i've come accross some right numpties who are as pure shetland as one could find. Carry on.

your headache would disappear
