  1. So, whit ir you makkin o a 4.5% cooncil rent and tax increase? No freeze again as council tax and housing rent to rise by 4.5 per cent | Shetland News (shetnews.co.uk) It wis liklee inevitable, and we had a year aff last year, and at least it's less den inflation. Death and taxes etc etc
  2. I'm heard a few stories about dis but I don't think dirs truth in it. But I ken a few local folk whaa hit been taen in by it and ir genuinely ootraged! Dirs shurlee twatree young teens dat cut aboot we tails hingin not o da back o dir breeks (I believe day caa demselves 'furries' which is likely nae idder as da bruk we worked as bairns) but da whole 'young people identifying as cats' thing is an urban myth dat seems tae hiv started in America and spread through da UK. https://news.stv.tv/north/claims-banff-academy-pupils-are-identifying-as-cats-branded-false-rumours-by-aberdeenshire-council https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter_boxes_in_schools_hoax But I doot dir canna be mony young folk dat wid be up fur squatin in a muckle litter tray in a school corridor tae have a turd!

    Mr

    Is dat whit happens on da ferries? I somebody tests positive den dey aa isolate??
  4. I canna imagine da Flea wid ken how tae post messages on a forum!
  5. Good on dee. Somebody has tae dae it!
  6. I doot dis fellow is doin more harm tae his cause dan he is raisin support for it https://www.shetnews.co.uk/2022/03/04/uha-campaigner-turns-his-attention-to-community-safety-board/ I'm sure he tinks persistance will pay aff, and while I dunna necessarily disagree we him, I'm gettin a bit tired o him. If he had twartee of da weemin he's campaignin on behalf backin him up, den his points might be better received.
  7. I towt dis wis a weel written and informative letter A short history of Ukraine: a new Iron Curtain descending? https://www.shetnews.co.uk/2022/03/04/a-short-history-of-ukraine-a-new-iron-curtain-descending/
  8. So, whaur du you tink dis will end? And whit news sources do you find haes da most informative coverage?
  9. Agreed. Da Brugert shop hae splendid bacon, but it's a bit of a trek from Muckle Oxter HQ. Wid dat be Anderson's Butchers maet?
  10. I've had enough o yun pre-packed supermarket bacon. Is it joost me, or has it gotten warse pwer the past few years? When you pit in in da fryin pan it seems tae boil in it's ain scummy white water rather den fry. So... whit's da best locally produced bacon?
  11. Dir number is listed here - https://www.zettrans.org.uk/contact/bus-services - but dat's aboot aa I ken!
  12. And dunna forget da hosts and hostesses! Efter da last torch has been fired intae da galley, it's dem dat run da show - da rest o wis are joost dir guests! As I'm sure ony overexcited guizer whaa his been reprimanded by a hostess can testify, dey're no da put-upon subservient serving wenches some folk wid lik tae portray dem as! I wance got datn a stonesin for wirkin dirt dat I wis nearly greetin
  13. I'm on da fence re: female guizers in da respect dat I dunna hae a particularly strong opinion, but it does seem lik a thankless task tae try to spaek aboot realities and legalities when folk are bein swept along we emotions and a desire fur equalities above onything idder. I feel dat da debate has gotten mair divisive ower da past few years as da folk demanding change ir increasingly drawing parallels atween Lerrick UHA and domestic violence, misogyny, sexism etc which has left da many 'traditionalists' feelin bemused and under attack. It also seems to me dat ower da past decade or so Lerrick UHA has been promoted as a 'community' event in da widest sense o da word, but I feel dat da community is da 'Lerrick UHA community' and tae a large extent you hae to earn your place in it. If da 'Lerrick UHA community' want change den I'm sure it'll come. But if dey dunna, I doot dirs plenty o folk in da 'wider community' who simply winna accept it and we're doomed for dis divisiveness tae run on and on.
