  1. Not many of us left Davie. The last regular poster, Frances144, gave up about a week ago. I've done some research (ie a quick google) and I would say it is an unremarkable salary for the responsibilities of the job. And being in the public sector there are none of the perks that a private sector organisation would offer, such as profit sharing and share options.
  2. The two that that used to be suggested were Islesat and Steve Fordyce. Islesat have relocated to Ayrshire and I don't know if Steve Fordyce is still active.
  3. Just returned to this thread to say that the spammers are out in force again.
  4. The Shetland Clay Target Club has opened a facility in the Black Gaet, between Lerwick and Scalloway. https://www.facebook.com/p/Shetland-Clay-Target-Club-100063575586046/
  5. I mind he made a cassette in the 1980s. The Lerwick library might have a copy.
  6. Efter sayin he wisna interested ida UK election as he wiz goin tae da States tae help Trumpf he's decided tae stand as a Reform candidate efter aa. Da man canna stand no bein da centre o attention.
  7. This is his family page on the North Isles Family History website. https://www.bayanne.info/Shetland/getperson.php?personID=I64242&tree=ID1

    Archery

    The only archery I currently know of is at Asta, near the caravan park and the golf club.
  9. There is a Shetland Boxing Club Facebook page but nothing seems to have been posted for 18 months. https://www.facebook.com/ShetlandBoxingClub/
  10. I thought the same but then I wondered if there would be a spare driver available as most of them will be out on tourist buses.
  11. This was a fortnight ago. The steel framework for a shed has gone up. https://imgur.com/gallery/LnUCiOa
  12. This web page says the post office was near the pier. https://wikishire.co.uk/wiki/Papa_Stour
  13. Before the Band were the Band they were the Hawks, backing rocker Ronnie Hawkins. Hawkins had moved to Canada from Arkansas along with his band. The rest of the group left apart from drummer Levon Helm and were replaced by Canadians. The Band drifted away from Hawkins when they got too good for him. Listen to Robertson's lead guitar on this track. He was only 16.
  14. This forum seems to have been taken over totally by spammers. Time to let it finally die?
  15. I took a run right up to the north of Unst today. The frame of a large building has been erected along with a water tank. Work of a less obvious nature was going on as well.
  16. If you scroll up the page you will find a link to a Facebook page that is still active.
  17. I'm going to Unst on Friday so I'll report back if I get the chance to see the site.
  18. I would think after 14 years they would have got the names sorted.
  19. The post you quote is from 2009! Shetland Cricket has a Facebook page but there seems to be very little recent stuff on it. https://www.facebook.com/p/Shetland-Cricket-Association-100065680201848/
  20. I think it was the oil companies who complained about so much of their profit being drained by Shetland.
