  1. Is it just me or is both of your posts in this thread, shetlandpeat, just rambling and passive aggressive?

     

    To go on it now [...].

     

    Go on what? What does this even mean in the context of the wider sentence. Medication? A bike?

     

    We here have systems, they also cost to use, it is however, the community that has discovered who the offenders were.

     

    Eh?

     

    We here have systems, too. Yes, systems. I have systems. They have systems. Some systems. Big systems. Small systems. Do daa diddy doo.

     

    It cannot be the councils fault in many ways, folk are really responsible for how they dispose of their waste. Consumers need to be a bit more proactive, under WEEE regulations and packaging laws, the consumer can expect the supplier to take these upon delivery. It would be something to work with the council with. It does work, you need to find folk who are willing.

     

    I think this is probably how you've ended up de-railing a possibly useful thread, no? Trying to stick up for "councils". A council. Any council. Every council. To give some form of super-super-insight into goodness only knows what?

     

    Certainly people do have a responsibility to dump "responsibly". They also require the means and avenues to do this. Perhaps there is no correlation between skip removal and illegal dumping? Yet, on the flipside, perhaps there is? There are definitely other avenues of waste removal available in Shetland with the use of common sense and common decency!!

     

    What is pertinent is that ideally, the people who dumped that mess at the side of the road will see this thread and be suitably ashamed and know in their hearts that they really are useless human beings.

     

    I'm not even sure now why I'm replying to this as I feel I've been dragged into a dirty troll net! Why would that be?

    • SHETLAND’S enormous bi-annual fund raising event Relay for Life has beaten its own extraordinary record by raising more than £300,000. The announcement was made at Sound hall on Friday night when the Relay committee held a “thank you evening” for all the people who took part in the event which took place overnight from 31 May to 1 June at the Clickimin running track in Lerwick. The phenomenal fund raising effort had already raised £200,000 before the big night, so this year's total of £306,560.76 was not completely unexpected, convincingly beating 2012’s £275,000 record – the most successful event of its kind anywhere in Europe.

  3. Tesco planning permission refused
    • Originally published by and copyright of www.orcadian.co.uk

      An extension at Tesco in Kirkwall, to be used for an internet ordering home delivery service, has been refused planning permission. Members of the OIC planning committee heard today that 42 objections to the proposal had been received, primarily concerned at the economic impact it would have on the town centre and rural shops. OIC [...]

  4. Hi,

     

    The notification should be to your PM inbox and an email is also fired your way as a prompt if that is setup in your notification options http://www.shetlink.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications - it is by default unless changed. For instance, either by a user, or if the email bounces etc. or someone marks it as spam then Shetlink will not send any further emails.

     

    If it's an ask question feature - where you have the choice to display it to the open public then only an email is sent by way of notification.

     

    Interesting that you're kinda the other way around i.e. no PM .. *rubs chin* - was it a public question thingy?

  5. Great concept Pooks. Likin it.

     

    Always been ponderous on the "Moorie" as in people saying "Blind Moorie" for blizzard. Was / is this not a mis-print/saying and should be "Moorin" aka "Blind Moorin" as in can't find your way in to your boats mooring due to blizzard conditions? Happy to be told otherwise.
