weel said sha!

fokk no sayin 'thank you' 'tanks' or even 'ta' when you haad open a door fir dem. baith me an me faider suffered dis ingratitude da idder day ida toon. manners doesna cost onythin, which is why dis annoys me so much!!!

my towts exactly

when i wis at uni in glasgow, teuchter was a wird dat wis used in a negative way aa da time, even towards mesel.

i reckon gettin rid o cooncillors, politicians, beaurocrats and bankers wid likly help da problem!

i spose dat wid likly be da maist liky group t be offended. my faider is a soothmoother (fae england), an hit likly wid get my goat if onybody tried t tell me i wisna a shetlander!!

wid du mind sendin me hit? hit canna be dat'n bad surely???

so wid sumeen explain t me why da postal serivce needs privatisin? i'm ay towt it rowt fine mesel.

exactly

i ken baith da sports shops hae a heat-seal press thing for applyin transfers, but a better bet might be da lhd?

am never kent 'soothmoother' to be a derogotary term ever, an i widna say dirs really ony difference atween hit an sayin 'fae sooth' either. personally i wid tend to use 'soothmoother' as an affectionate term, meaning someone who has moved to shetland and settled into the community. normally i wid use 'fae sooth' as someone who's come up for a short period o time, holidays, or somebody who has moved up here, but not permanently. neither, i wid say, is a negative word. to respond to your last set of questions, i'm not too sure why people are offended by the 'S word', especially local folk. i suppose da Peter Fraser incident has likly had some effect, turnin it into a taboo word for some. i think this is probably some of the PC brigade however, not wanting to casue offence, but i cant say i'm ever heard o onybody bein overly offended by it, comin fae sooth or no. i think, however, used in certain contexts, both terms could be used in a negative manner - eg. using them to describe a certain dubious ruler of a small 'independent' rock - but those negative connotations depend entirely on the context within which each phrase is used, and they themselves are not, to me at least, offensive in the slightest.

Weel, i dont tink onybody saa last night's matches turnin oot da wye dey did. Rangers gettin pummelled by Unirea - i had an inklin dat dey mighta lost dat een, but i wisna expectin it t be by quite sae muckle! a shoddy 0-1 widna have been quite'n sic a surprise Barcelona lossin at da Nou Camp ta Rubin Kazan, naebody wid o expected dat. Inter held at hom by Dynamo Kiev, Arsenal draain wi AZ, Debrecen giein Fiorentina a game, an even Zurich baetin Milan last week. Dirs been a few surprises dis season. Da only result dat didna really surprise me dat muckle, involvin da British teams was Liverpool lossin ta Lyon, but i doot i wid o predicted a draa mesel. Whit's gonna happen in danite's games?

workin fine here an aa!

wha wid o towt dat life twa hunder year ago wis dat similar t whit hit is noo?!

the saw doctors - live in galway

wands very well drilled. shetland over committed at just about every ruck, so left wands with massive overlaps all the time. shetland's point fae a jon pulley penalty.

I'm sure du'll git on joost fine, sha!

ta mj, du's right!

becis hits a lok mair fun ta joost spaekillaet!

i can understand dat happenin, as you learn 1 thing, da idder gets pushed oot, but dat wisna da case wi me learnin languages at school. we started learnin German at primary school an carried it on through secondary, but when i got to standard grade i picked up french fae scratch as weel. i fan it a lot easier to learn french than german, i suppose because of the grammar and things being 'easier' for an 'english' speaker to pick up, but i think having already partially learned a language, i knew how to study it and so was able to pick it up quicker. i got a lot better at french than german within a very short space o time, an actually took dat on ta higher instead, an by the end o my 5th year at da high school i had actually managed to get up to advanced higher level wi my french. no bad for only doin the language for 3 years! i'm also recently decided to learn norwegian, and i'm in da process o learnin dat, wi da help o whit seems kinda lik a bairns school book!!! seems t be goin ok so far, but am no gotten t pittin right sentences tagidder yit! mebbe dat'll be nixt week!!! whit can i say, i'm a glutton for punishment!

shetland 91 - 0 peterhead good solid performance by the boys, especially in the first half. 6 tries for nathan coote, 4 by maurice williamson and one each for stewart mouat, tom laing, martin sidgwick, matthew nicolson and peter sidgwick. paul grant kicked 8 conversions.
