good idea. have you tryed the library

yes they are so democratic and peace loving. ask the Tibetans. they are just very good at shutting up opposition. back to russia, they are now making arangements to help there puppets in the rebal areas of georgia to become part of guess what yes thats right russia. why do you think all the former soviet states are getting very nerveous. its not because the russians are a peace loving democratic state. dont you all get it. think of there attitude when they happily kill oposition in this country and at the same time poisioning others. they are not the nice guys of the world. i am not a big fan of the USA but of the two the yanks are better than the russians.

im sure that won't be a big issue up here. unless the nimbys import some. there are enough miggies to feed them up

they still do. both mossbank,skeld and brae and aith all provide it. i cant see why the others wont. have you asked them. if your after private lessions try the teachers that do the schools they may do them.

there was mention of fiddle training in the night class thingy that came a couple of weeks ago. cant remeber where

i may very well be. but churchill was told the same during the 1930s. you can never give way to a bully they only come back for more. but i dont fancy a world dominated by either russia or china. do you.

and you were pro choice on drugs. so its fine to use drugs and waste nhs funds.

and this is a reasoned non biased view Its ok being a bit over weight but when you start getting really fat then really society should look on it in a negative and try and get them to reverse it. To many people blame their genes etc when in reality its their lifestyle which is to blame and they should be encouraged to change and how would you do that forced into diet camps take there children from them. i just hope you all have a spotless health record because if this is brought in you will be next.

saying that people who dont conform to what society believes is an ideal lifestyle should be restricted from services is just that. imagine if you were talking about deaf people would this be exceptable. indeed there is an issue with an increase in weight. but this is not down to sheltanders being short and fat. its down to the fact that the lifestyle now is not as hard as it was a hundred years ago. but the food intake has not changed. its that simple. but that is not the point the political parties are using obesity/health choice to remove our attention from the fact that they are failing to meet there targets on poverty and ill health. there are plenty of studies showing a link between the two. is it not odd that at the same time as this issue is brought up that the world health organization is reporting a falling life expectancy in the poorest areas of scotland. in fact parts of scotland have a shorter(no pun intended) life expectancy than india. Health inequality so parts of scotland are 20 years worse than the top stat. European comparisons sorry if this is getting heavy reading but its the only way of showing what i mean. this is what the W.H.O. as to say http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2008/pr29/en/index.html it says for those that can be bothered to read it that a child born in the worst area of glasgow will die nearly 30 years earlier than a richer person living down the road. hope thats short enough and less stupid

more short term memory loss. there was this country that wanted to protect its ethnic peoples in neighbouring countries. first it was the rhinelands then austria. then parts of the chech state then the rest of that country and then poland. a former pm said that why should we go to war for a distant country he came home waving a bit of paper saying peace in our time. now your going to say but its diffrent this time. well when a country can totally waste chechna because they wanted freedom its no diffrent than what the germans did in poland. now the georgians were very stupid to try to recover there own territory. but its theres by international law. if you think that russia is going to be our friendly neigbour get this streight. they are not. they threatened the ukraine with war. they have been patroling our airdefences with there bombers. we must de strong and not apease them. if they start rearming then we must. if they target us then we must respond. if any of the former repressed states of the old ussr want to join nato let them. we maybe dependent on there gas. but lets see them survive without our money. its very worrying, lets just hope we dont have to go through what our parents, grandparents had to. sorry my writing did make it look like i was promoting a war. this is not so.

the votes 93% for the country. so lets move people into the country and improve the transport links. its cheaper to build in the country and nicer to live there.

and whats the cost of a traffic accident(the average cost of a fatal injury is 1 million) or treating someone for cancer or any other self inflicted illness. how much is spent in shetland dealing with drink related illness these are the big costs for the nhs. hey better still lets kill all the over sixty's after all the old folk costs the state the most pensions etc. heres a good one whats spent on anti depressents after all this must be a good cost saving for us fatties after all were always happy. oh by the way it would be intresting to see a test case over acces to services on disability discrimination grounds.

^ it is my fault. but then its my fault when i get cancer its my fault when i break my leg. yep you only get fat by eating more than you need. now listern carefully i will only say this once. you cant exercise when morbidly obese. its impossable now lets do a bit of teaching. for those of you who think exercise will cure obesity. i challange you to strap on a couple of sacks of coal and go and do some exercise. so you dont need medical supervision when you need to lose a lot of weight. well i bow down to your better medical skills. you are so much more knowledge able than somebody who has had to live with being very fat all there lives. there are 3500 kcals in a pound of fat so if you are a hundred pound over the idea weight thats 350000kcals. now on a healthy eating diet you are looking to reduce your intake by a few hundred i let you work how long that would take. when you are very fat your metablism is very slow so you have to eat much less than what the diet experts tell you. for myself that is in the area of 500-700kcals a day. i would love to see you normals live on that for a few days let alone the few years that i would need to again even when i have starved myself for those years it will come back. this is a fact that all the diet industry will not tell you. when you7 put your body into starvation mode it will switch to storage imeditatly you go onto a non weight loss diet. your body is built to survive starvation hence yoyo dieting you will weigh more after eat diet attempt. there are deox centres for drugs and lots of stop smoking resorces available . there is only one method that really shows long term weight loss and that is surgery. let me give you a brief idea what you have done. first the cut out about 90% of your stomach and then they bypass a lot of your intestines. thus resulting in a body that cant absorb the cals. now this easy option has a high death and complication rate it also makes you dependent on injections of certer vits that you are now unable to absorb. it also causes dumping syndroms for those who have just eaten i will refrain from explaining what that is. so please dont think us fatties enjoy being fat. be me for a few days and you will relise that we dont choose to be fat. (*** Mod - Shouting removed ***)

are you you saying shetlanders are short fatties! AS A SHORT FATTY of corse its my fault and yes it will kill me quickly. but saying do exersise will cure servere obesity is a load of male cow muck. its the same with dieting ive lost more weight than an average man in one go but guess what it comes back a body will only allow you to starve it for so long. the pills are only good for a maximum of a 5% weight loss. and can only be used for 6 months. ive wanted gastric bypass surgery for a number of years but i cant afford the £12000 it would cost. the wife is not keen on the 1 in 10 chance of death either. the nhs is no use in helping there is a two year wait even before they will think of helping. to get help you need to see the dietian and guess what shetland does not have. im not surplised that this has come up its a diversion. the goverment are failing to solve the health inequalities in scotland. this is why we start hearing from mp's smp's trying to make out that its an individuals responsabilty. lets blame the fatties and forget that the worst health with the shortest life expectancy is in the poorest most deprived areas. its a lot cheaper to blame someone than cure the underlying causes. i will never take health advice from a right wing tory mp. spend money curing deprevation never.

you will regret wanting those gales. rain like bullets is not fun

its the smoking and drinking thats killing people. by the way what would you expect with so much cheap fresh fruit and veg available.

yay global warming. planting my coconut plantation. i hope to fund it from a grant. i hear the sic will need to go on some fact finding trips to the tropics to see how we can cope with these changing climate conditions. my mum and mum in law spent two weeks up here this summer bright sunshine all the time. while in manchester rain and flooding. he he he. and they thought we were mad coming up to these islands.

looking at the sky news it says lerwick is the sunnest town in britain. it must really be raining down . so is lerwick the sunnest place in shetland. at the moment everybody prefers the country.

anything you fancy. i still only catch seaweed. im the first veggie angler

a bit overcrowded the imigration department of forvik is very tough its also very hard to find. ive heard you need to set off in a bathtub to find it. its believed to be somewhere off the east anglian coast.

Paulb, you can't leave it at that! Where would you pick? why westerskeld of course everything is wonderful. the community is strong and friendly. the same can be said of most places in shetland. its just brae is not scenic. and is over developed

we will class any where more than 3 miles away from lerwick as the country. what the apeal of the town it usually has the worst weather and is very crowded together.

Consider yourself corrected. You are WRONG. I've posted this before but Caroline Miller (I assume that she is the person you are sniping at) DOES NOT and has NEVER had any official interest in either Judane or any of their holdings. The fact that she is married to Frank Miller is of little or no relevance as she is careful to declare an interest in any discussion that may encroach on this. so she has no intrest as never gain even a penny from her husbands ownership of the building. if she has had no personal involvement. this either says they are not a close couple or somebody is telling a few untruths. when you buy somrthing you talk to your partner. when he went to the funds for a loan. she did not have to agree to. they went bust why would you want her looking after your money when they cant look after theres. why do they still own the factory they still owe money to the fund why has it not been sold and the money owed payed back. i note that hodges has had even more stock delivered. never seen someone take so long to shut down. i wonder that he nrver went to the trust to get a loan to buy the building. he did at one time employ quite a few people.

ive seen some posts by lerwickers that think the country is terrible. so which is best.

why brae. its ok but there are better areas.
