Get rid of Morgan Goodlad! how many times has this guy wasted Shetlands money?
-
I did miss Shetland when i first came to Melbourne,but its only a text,webcam or email away from the news.i dont miss the weather or expense though!

they should transform the bowls hall and squash courts into a cinema/music venue,it would take in more revenue than the state its currently in with the half dozen users.i remember when they were building it,the exitement of getting a ten pin bowling hall,then a lawn bowls green appeared!
but with the money the shetland government waste each year on meaningless crap(SMYRIL),why not build a venue?
-
nearly every builfing that was built for the oil boom should be demolished,they are unsightly and so cheaply built.start with all the hotels,then the Mulla houses(which i was involved in renovating a couple this year)and then Mossbank,all hideous sights!

over here in Melbourne the price of fuel has gone up to $1.39 per litre(60p) and people are complaining.i tell them about shetlands fuel prices and shock them!!when i first came here petrol was at $1 per litre........

KFC is overpriced and you get so little for your money,ive been to them a few times and am not impressed with what you get,even though i vowed never to eat fast food chicken after salmonella poisoning in Ireland a few years ago.
The most bizarre place you've bumped into a Shetlander?

I have met a few Shetlanders here in Melbourne,but 2 stories stand out.
the first was when i was working in an old folks home,the receptionist recognised i had an accent,i told her i was from Shetland,she took me through to an old womans room.It was a 93 year old woman who had left shetland when she was 16,she was originally a Sutherland from the Ness.
the other time was when i met a Dalziel boy in the Queue for the rugby,out of 80,000 people he was in the Queue behind me,i recognised the face but he didnt recognise mine.
