  1. Nothing comes to mind but Darren Oldie might be able to put you on to someone, his shop is Oldie Antiques in the old newsagent place on Commercial Road. I take it's not something a clean and a few dabs of clock oil can sort out?
  2. Actually used LV last year, this year it's some not heard of lot called Gladiator, same underwriters though, Markerstudy.
  3. You'll get a discount for the ZE postcode from most of the underwriters, if not all. I personally chop and change annually, there's no benefit to brand loyalty when it comes to insurance and so look for what ever deal is going. I have renewed with Direct Line a couple of times when there was nothing in the price to others. I've heard others talk favourably of NFU Mutual though.
  4. Are you going to reply to yourself with a link to whatever you're flogging, or are you really curious as to hear someone's experience from 5 years ago?
  5. Never mind FTTP, or FTTC or for that matter vDSL, it was 4G for me until EE forgot how to run a carrier grade backhaul, so I'm now on Musknet Starlink here in the wild and data uncivilised Unst!
  6. I'm hopeful that I might see past 65 if that's what living fast and free gets you, as I sip my green tea and think about my lunchtime salad! I think he was in the category of "I can't believe they're still alive" if I'm being honest, along with people like Ozzy Osbourne, Bez etc.
  7. It's hard to trust anything online these days. So many blogs and videos that I go to watch are clearly AI nonsense now. It's everywhere!

    Thanks for the report!

  8. Thanks for the report!

  9. Couple of weeks ago I was up that way and it looked the same, no gossip about either.
  10. Much as I would like to blame technology there were keyboard warriors in the dial up bulletin boards of the 90's, but as you were physically dialled into someone’s computer it was heavily moderated, and the more wayward quickly booted off. Then of course those disgruntled types would set up their own servers and try and encourage the gruntled to come over, so leading to the digital ghettos that are the fore runners of 4chan's of this world. I don’t think this is anything new, only the medium has changed, “anonymous of Tunbridge Wells” has always been there, we just have far fewer people moderating to deal with the more vocal. Things would be far nicer if we could go back to people just writing poison-pen letters that went straight into an editor’s recycling tray but at least the writer got it off their chest.

    Interesting, you seem to be talking to yourself JolynnGood, why would you be doing that then? Please tell me that it's not some SEO optimisation spam posting for your fake ID business!
  12. Probably going to be found propping up a few local gates and sheds in the near future! They might not be able to sell them to the public, was chatting with a BT engineer awhile back and they are not allowed to sell them because with the old creosote there's a safety issue, might be the same story "officially".
  13. Out of curiosity (and when I should be working!) I looked at the NLS maps, see their 1950s OS map has a Post Office in-between Biggins and Hurdiback, closed in 2005. If you ask the Post Office for where their office is on Papa Stour they still show the same place that's been shut 18 years. This Guardian article from 2005 says it was just a caravan, could have been artistic with the journalism and it was a portacabin https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/sep/18/lornamartin.theobserver but this old film from the Shetland Archives shows a proper building in the 1960s at the 6:30 mark.
  14. With that question you may have heard something, as there's no one up there at the moment as all the construction people have gone off site. The local rumour mill has it there's some "financing" issue and a bond of some description is being waited upon.
  15. I've reported some that I spotted to the admin who said that it was useful to have the prompt, as you can see some have gone. Was just saying how sadly forums seem to have become unpopular with the rise of social media. I've a "fake" (as in no followers etc) FB account for a couple of groups and the Marketplace as that seems to be ebay here. I guess it's just easy for people with an app on their phone etc?
