Xmas 1995 = lots & lots of snow

Madrid Cup was usually 2 groups of 4. Teams played each other home & away meaning each had 6 group matches. The top 2 in each group went to the semis then final. I'm no mathematician but the winners had to play 8 matches to win it. This is a step forward. The Madrid Cup is usually the first cup of the season which meant things always got stale playing the same teams for the first 5 or 6 weeks.

I see. Whats the reason for that then? Surprised they're allowed to do that

Why is Ness not in the Manson Cup?

Most if not all will be dead. Oh & for the tree huggers reading this, the fish that might have escaped will have been scrubbed by the net, when the cages were out of shape, meaning they wont last very long

I cant see the service changing much at all. The boats will continue to use Aberdeen meaning there's nothing Northlink (or anybody else for that matter) can do when the Aberdeen harbour is closed due to SE gales & strong tides. The same boats will be used so anybody who complained about the lack of cabins will continue to complain. In all probability, it will be the same Captains on the boats. Its them that decides if the boat is sailing in bad conditions so that will continue to be a prob for many. Financially we will continue to pay high fares due to where we live. As GR says, de-nationalise. 5 companies are said to be interested in the route which to me is a fairly competitive tendering process

What makes you think anybody else can offer a better service?

County sheild results fae monday anybody? Shetland FA website doesn't have them up as usual
-
Its a long way in adverse weather for those not fit enough due to age or those who have young kids but cant drive. your argument is pathetic
-
There's no Town Service bus that goes around Scalloway. There's no bus stop at our health service door to the street so for the elderly who don't have a blue badge or a parent with a young child, this is quite a walk in adverse weather conditions

Fridays results?
-
Why not have an outdoor gig at Holmsgarth? Stage could face the south instead. I know it'd be March & prob snow but the weather on Friday for Levellers & Saturday for Bjorn Again wasn't the best & this is meant to be the summer!!!

Once again our incompetent Council make one of their crazy decisions. What an utter waste of mooney

Why is it that Dr Wills is always scaremongering in the Shetland Times? Has he ever written a letter thats not beeen along these lines??

Why is it ok to fly from Sumburgh at 9pm during the summer?
-
The council say they've looked at all the options before closing schools. Why then, is it that the Tingwall airstrip (cant call it an airport) is still open?? This small & expensive operation is a waste of money. There's plenty of hangar space, apron space & a huge terminal building at Sumburgh. There's good bus links between Lerwick & Sumburgh. I know the air ambulance flies to Tingwall but not at night or in adverse weather conditions (they go to Sumburgh instead) so no reason why this cant be the case through the day aswell. This incompetent council have not looked at all the options.

This would be crazy as the Scy pool is the busiest outside lerwick for swimming lesson

Follow portugals lead or stop speaking about it. This topic has gone on for 49 pointless pages now. Until this country does what Portugal has done in legalising drugs (in a controlled manner) then the problem will never end

There's more cod in the sea than ever before. The 'scientists' who claim the seas are empty are trying to brainwash everybody! Don't believe that rubbish about the seas being empty. Ask the fishermen. Its them who are throwing tonnes & tonnes of perfectly good marketable fish back due to stupid regulations coming from Brussells thats choking this lucrative industry. A windfarm will never ever replace the fishing industry -

Look at his website. He's not standing just cis he's anti-windfarm. If everybody did their homework on how "efficient" windfarms of that size really are then everybody would be against the windfarm. He's got my vote cis he's got interests in a variety of issues & we must get away fae this "Lib Dem stronghold". The SNP dont care one bit about Shetland for this exact reason -
Is it 2 sessions as last year & if so is the prices of £50/£55 for 1 session or 2?

Shetland news website is terrible now. I wont be using it in it's new set up

Well said Mattie The housing policy is a disgrace. Dont forget those who move from south/abroad & walk straight into sic/hha houses before locals who have stayed here all their lives, working & paying taxes etc. Theres recently been mutual exchanges happening in Scalloway where people are moving into houses which are too big for their needs. I know a couple who have just moved into a 3 bedroom council house & they have no kids. There's alot of overcrowded flats & houes in Scalloway & that house could've helped towards easing that problem. The system stinks & needs changing now.
