    no chance of staff accommodation. you say your only commin for a year. so you wont have access to the relocation offer. if you want to pm me i will have the wife message you she has worked in t he hospital and is now on the community team. yes food and drink is expensive. but you will earn an extra 1800 in distant island pay.  Up Helly Aa is a close shop. if you really want to join in a fire festival try others. loads to do if you want. can i ask why your wantin to move up here by yourself it can be very lonely.

    I am all for people wanting to keep fit and healthy, I too am a bit of a fitness fanatic, but seeing people running from 0600am on the main roads which are busy with work traffic, airport runs etc it idiotic!!!  Please people, think of your safety, just because you think your lit up like a christmas tree doesn't mean we can all see you, until were practically on top of you!
     
    Only this morning I saw a runner out at about 0630 on the main road! There are no street lights, visibility is not always that fantastic, you have dangerous bends in the road, people who aren't all that confident in driving in the dark and others who don't know the roads.
     
    It is your life in someone's unfortunate hands!! I pity that poor person who doesn't see you till its too late, and you've destroyed your life, your family and friends life and the life of the driver, who will never get over what they have done!
     
    It is only recently that we have heard of the death of cyclists in London, a place where many road users are used to the roads and those on them!
     
    THINK!!!
     
    Use a treadmill or a gym if you must run.... just don't get yourself hurt or killed just for the sakes of keeping in shape, you certainly won't be in any fit shape or state if you get run over!
