Another one of the great...Gone!

RIP Duane Eddy.

Those of a certain age may have some memories of this guy.

Another one gone...

Steve Harley, the frontman of British rock band Cockney Rebel, has died at the age of 73.

Come here in winter to try  it out.

Don't try to change anything, just aceptit for what it is.

Also, it's Shetland not The Shetlands

Wonder what the 'Boys from New York City' will be singing up above..

I see that someone has been refused entry to a local service bus due to lack of space (to many tourists).

As a regular bus user, I have had to stand more than a few times.  OK, this is not really an issue travelling between Lerwick and Scalloway, but it must be a right pain on longer routes.

It's bad enough when there are a couple of young lasses with prams, shopping etc.

Then there are the seat hogs who seem to think that they can rightously occupy two seats just for their shopping, and to hell with everyone else.

Maybe the drivers could be a little more proactive but, I have no idea what the solution is.

Any suggestions?

I haven't seen any of it yet but, I'm a little puzzled at you delight with Shetland being (once again) ripped off with almost no benefit to the local population.  Can you explain it to me in simple terms?

Good luck..

There must be an awful lot of old CB's gathering dust up here.  Might dust off one of my old ones for a look around.

Not much experience with Macs, but have you tried re-instaling Safari.

Brexiteers (leaving a union of Nations) - Doesn't matter if 2 out of the 4 Nations of the UK didn't want to leave the EU, respect the result, sovereignty, self determination, democracy etc etc

It was a National Vote spread over all four nations.

I always thought that the majority (of those who voted) voted to leave.  I guess that is the 'democracy' and 'self determination' you speak of.

And if, we have a referendum, and if it fails, when will the next one be?

As soon as possible afterwards.  They will keep pushig until they get the answer they want.

Put it to the electorate and they'll decide. 

That's the whole point.  I thought we already did decide..

Mostly however, I hope we see no mention of the EU in the run up to any potential referendum. It has been relegated to "something we don't talk about" but the fact that up to 20% of the Yes vote last time was about getting Scotland out of the EU, it could be a big setback if EU membership is proposed.

 

Does it really matter if the EU becomes an election issue ?   We all know that it's on the table anyway.

Be interesting to see how many squads invite women/girls join.   My perception is that it is a bit of a "boys club".   Time will tell.

Not sure why they need to dismantle it. When I changed out the works CCTV system I just changed the cameras to better cameras.

This is the SIC you are speaking about.  They don't do aything cheap..

I can no longer login with my screen name but found that I can (clearly!) with my email address.

Be careful.  That's how my problem started.

Hi someone has also been trying to hack into my account.  i was unable to get in for three days

Sympathies.  The web seem to be more like the Wild West than a comms tools.  Far to many scammers...

Maybe they just don't want to be associated with you..

Then they are without hope, or ambition....

Easy to block emails but, problem is that my account was being locked by it. 

Anyway, why would I block emails from Shetlink ?
