    It's hard to tell. The're could be more activity near Shetland or there could be a policy change that meant more causalities come here now.

    The SIC didn't help the street by putting the bollards at the Clydesdale Bank. The only reason I go the street nowadays is to go the bank, as paying in cash is one of the few activities you still can't do over the internet.

    It would appear that the government get an extra month's car tax if a car is sold. The seller only gets whole unused months refunded while the buyer has to pay from the start of the month.

    The cabinets need planning permission so if you look on the SIC planning pages you should be able to track them down.

    MuckleJoannie reacted to Scorrie in Kings of Lyon (A tribute to Kings of Leon) @ Mareel 19/12/14   
    I've always thought that folk from around Ollaberry should start up a KoL tribute band.
     
    They could themselves the 'Kings from Leon' band.

    My theory on the one headlight problem is that during the summer you hardly ever use your headlights in Shetland so when the dark nights come in there are a number of people who haven't checked their lights for months.

    The Queen was in Glasgow and she bumped into Alex Salmond.

    HMtQ: How nice to see you Mr Salmond.

    AS: Nice to see you Ma’am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence  How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I’ll be a King?

    HMtQ: No, we don’t like that.

    AS: Empire, and I'll be Emperor?

    HMtQ: No.

    AS: All right, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I’ll be a Prince?

    HMtQ: No, Mr Salmond, I suggest we call it a Country and you can carry on as you are.

    There has been a rumour circulating on Twitter recently that the reason for his visit was to get BP to hold off announcing a major oil find in the Clair Field until after the independence referendum,

    The lack of carrier bags, plus the lack of stock on the shelves are a sign of a business on the slide. If it were a stand alone shop I would be expecting to hear about it closing shortly.

    An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.

    The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

    The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"
    The man replies, "That would be my wife."
