  1. iwould suggest the french president he seems to be able to talk with them ok. but blair as a peace envoy no i dont see that working. he would have to be brave to have face to face meetings with some of the factions involved. he must be on there hit lists.
  2. it all depends who cooks it and if they have any pride in there jobs. i used to work at a care of the elderly hospital in stockport that had award winning food. but when its been softened up it looks and tastes like mush. i know that all the staff of gbh have problems with the food at the hospital. the food for the patients is very variable. this im sure is down to them not being hospital staff.
  3. http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/helicorder/heli.html possably not much to worry about the earth is getting old so like the rest of us it creaks at its joints check the short period graph.3.3 shakes it all over the place. the little wiggles could be anything even somebody jogging.
  4. Why not build a boat house on top of Ronas Hill? It would cover all eventualities, and if nothing else it would make an interesting episode of Time Team in 1000 years time ok you cut the wood and i will send two ponies,dogs chickens ect. do you need a spare hammer.
  5. no your very safe here apart from the tidal wave risk http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/recent_events/uk_special/shetland_15_jan_2009.pdf apart from this one theres not been any biggies as we would have them in a long time. if you had been here a number of million years ago then you would be worried.
  6. you have to have a shower fitted by a qualified person. plus mess up and your dead
  7. no it wont. the last thing your slaughter house will want is the scent of blood to get to the animals before they are slaughtered. the ideal slaughter house will want the animals to remain calm as long as they can. plus with all the new rules about hygine the slaughter house will be cleaner than your kitchen.
  8. maybe thats what helps keep their govements in power.not to mention the billions of aid money from the usa. its a lot easier to make war than peace. to another poster my slip of avent instead of event is not in your league of mistakes but then none can compare with you genius.
  9. but isreal is rightwing and nationalistic i thought you would approve.
  10. bought one up here just before christmas. i will not be doing so again. poor service, expensive and an attitude. next time anywhere but up here.
  11. i deny it. no arabs have ever died at the hands of isreal they all went on holiday. i think its more to do with nationalism on both sides thats causing the problem. yes isreal does over react. but the yanks went to war twice for one avent. imagine what they would have done if say cuba had fired missiles and suiside bombers ect. imagine being surrounded by countries that were hell bent on your destruction your fingers may get twitchy on the trigger to. we went to war over some islands thousands of miles away so isreal has the same right to kill maime and slaughter as the other moral countries have.
  12. the vatican city state. well i hope it is anyway.
  13. the cheese idea would be good. of course animals do all that. a well run slaughterhouse should not be noisy. neither should it smell any worse than a farm. if we want local meat we need good slaughter/packing plant.
  14. yes if the survey says its worth so much why on earth should we pay them more. lets see a car dealer sell a car with that system the cars worth 5 grand but give us 6 and its yours.
  15. oil provided by an irish company local? why should tescos or anyone else be allowed to keep there profits we would have a reduced cost they would make money. i would be happy and so would they. if you can find this "local" firm that would do it at the same cost levels as say tescos then go for it. odd that none have done it upto now.
  16. very expensive and a lot of the stuff is junk. by it gets to the customer there is about a 50% markup.
  17. use the funds that are being wasted to setup a community oil company. sell the petrol/diesel at just above cost. this would equate to a big tax cut for all islanders.
  18. good for them. its nice of the communities to cancel things when a death or illness strikes. dont lose it.
  19. simple they dont live their so they dont care. now if it was lerwick it would be diffrent. it would be wounderful if we could have the same things as a big city but lets face facts we are a small island with a very small population. we need the key areas looking after before spending on movie venues. the same for tunnels and hyper expensive schools. build the things we need at a cost we can afford. what is so difficult about that equation. you dont buy a jag is you can only pay for a mirca.
  20. nasty hope he does grow out of it.
  21. are the country shops tied into a contract with the oil company. if not maybe we should see if the company that supplies orkney could supply us.
  22. no im pleased that your condition has cleared up. im just not sure its down to homeopathy. how long had you had it. was it examined by anyone other than your gp. what job were you doing at the time, how old were you,were you under stress, had a child etc etc. with this condition there are many reasons why it can start or stop. my wife and half the kids have this condition the gp over did steriods and thined the wifes skin making it worse she was taken as a teenager for 4+ years to see this homopath and it did not help. the only thing that the wife has found to be any good apart from the normal creams is aloe vera juice its nasty tasting stuff but it worked. the best cream was one made from a non lanolin base with raw sulphere ground into it. this healed her cracks up quickly but it did stink. hope you remain healed good luck.
  23. I went many times to an NHS doctor (who also stayed in a very expensive house) and I spent a fortune on NHS prescriptions trying to keep excema at bay. I went to a homeopath once. It's the best £30 I've ever spent, as a lifetime of suffering with excema disappeared within 2 weeks of taking the remedy and it has never come back. Maybe it was just a huge coincidence, and the excema that I'd had all my life was going to totally disappear for good that month whether I'd gone to the homeopath or not. it takes a lot longer than one visit to homeopath to "cure" you of your skin condition. have a read of a in depth book on the subject is not take this tablet for a specific condition its reajusting your entire bodies chemestry. im grad that you excema has healed but dont get upset if it returns. yes youare right GPs are not the best people to deal with it. if it does come back ask to be refered to the hospital.
  24. my mum in law went to see one for a number of years. still has the problems she went with. odd that he lived in a very expesive house.
