Has i come to this? Good luck ItsSoc

 

 

 

 

I don't think the answer is " if your not prepared to stand you can't criticise" nor is it sitting behind a keyboard complaining anonymously. (Although I suppose if read by the right people, this may have some effect). Maybe we should all take more responsibility and ask to meet our councillors or attend more meetings that the council hold, so that we can be more informed and raise our concerns.

I'm not sure how a mass resignation of councillors would help. The positions just need to be filled again and who says they will be any better, never mind the experience and knowledge that would be lost. There are some genuine councillors who do a good job and unfortunately the usual bunch of wannabes or those who think they are something special. That will likely always be the case.

Perhaps we, the electorate need to give more thought about who we elect and why we think they are the right person to represent us. How often have you heard someone say ' I hope they get in, as they will stir it up'?

Whaur did i say you canna criticise? Exactly Whaur? This is the argument of those that winna pit dir money whaur dir mooths ir. Perhaps you should change your name to Windtalker?

Now pull your horns in a bit. Your post, and I quote ....

"I expect all the critics to be upstanding and contest at the next election. I reckon though there will be a moorin o excuses as to why dey winna."

.... says to me that if people shouldn't criticise unless they are prepared to stand.

As an electorate we, you, me, have the right to question what our elected members are doing, if people chose to use this forum to vent on, then that is their right and not illegal.

Starting name calling does nothing to strengthen your opinion on the matter.

Fair point on the Windtalker comment.Why i didna expect a sense of humour bypass. My bad. So why are you not proffering your services for election. I looks from your opinion wir missin oot? I would love to see whaur i said venting your opinion was illegal? You seem to be fond of Fairy stories.

Hi Siccar,

 

I didn't say you said it was illegal, that is my opinion. As for standing for the council, it's not something that interests me, but that doesn't mean I can't have a view on what they do, or don't do.

 

I haven't had a humour bypass, you just caught me at a bad time as I was fed up with a certain individual who seems to think that his is the only opinion that matters and can only see black and white, no grey areas.

 

I must admit I did find your "windtalker" jibe quite amusing when I went back to read it again.

 

Keep it up. You always mak me think. And question myself.

"I expect all the critics to be upstanding and contest at the next election. I reckon though there will be a moorin o excuses as to why dey winna."

.... says to me that if people shouldn't criticise unless they are prepared to stand.

 If that says that to you........So be it. Not my view but i am sure you wiil re-focus my gaze. Canna wait for da next Golden nugget.

After all, if you want a job done properly do you not do it yourself?

Or do you expect someone else to?

If du has da mettle tae stand Ghostie, I will. Seriously. I widna do it for da world. I wid shak dee hand.

Well your hands are tied. But you will hide behind your keyboard. You have aa da answers. Unfortunately due to Democracy you winna pit yoursel up for election. Dat taks BALLS!

Shetland Is missin oot on this hidden talent. Shetlanders love to be told how wrang dey ir. You really ir da guys ta tell wis. 'Cos we need a tellin.

I expect all the critics to be upstanding and contest at the next election. I reckon though there will be a moorin o excuses as to why dey winna.

If a Wiseman said it. It must be true

 

Du should go alang Ghostrider. Im sure da chair and dee wid get on famously.

 

Nah, threesomes aren't really my kink. You seem to have quite intimate knowledge of them, and I'd hate to be gooseberry.

 

I reckon Wansomes is more dy thing? No?

Du should go alang Ghostrider. Im sure da chair and dee wid get on famously.

JW Gray is well run? I have to agree. From the feedback I have heard over the past 20-30 years, there isna wan employee of Grays or K.G.Q wha widna drap everything to run back and help them oot if they wir in need. :ponders: :ponders:

Someone admits an innocent and perfectly reasonable mistake on Shetlink. Then sends an apology?

Me and all could learn from this.

 

 

Soaring house prices, Ofgen block new power station, School staff paid triple time, Roads maintenance underfunded, 100 new jobs at Sullom Voe, Superfast Boardband, Our Islands Our Future campaign, Erik Gray Centre replacement, Bullmull tidal power scheme, Domestic abuse on the rise, Knab AHS site redevelopment......

And your point is ?.....

 

Bigger issues seem to get little discussion on here now, smaller issues more.

 

You hae a lok ta worry aboot peerie moot.

Windwalker read up sunshine

Anybody able to teach proper Japanese Ju-Jitsu out there?

Wow keeping things in perspective. You obviously have a great knowledge of the Stasi.

Funny how my East German friends never pit da S.I.C Hoosin dept in da sam category.

If you don't like the house the council has GIVEN you, I suggest you move out and find your own place in the private sector, then complain about your unhappy lot.

Then your poor tits will be unburdened.

i guessed du mebbe hadna stayed anywhere else by da pleepsin ower damn all.

Also before Shetlink what was your major function?

Did naebody listen tae dee den eddir?

Gold was found in Unst a long long time ago. This is not news.

Next you will be saying Unst has a good supply o Chromite.

Its really hard having ta pit up wi whit must be da best hoosin stock in da country.

Try bidin ANYWHAUR else.

You might realise how lucky you ir.

But whaurs da sharg in dat.

Unfortunately now UnlikedStudent has fallen on her sword she will have so much more time to whinge about the place she chose to live in.

If you lived anywhere else in this country the last thing you would want is social housing.(Try living in PAISLEY) Social Housing IS for da Dungheads dat rut, inject, claim & pleeps. If you are hardworking and awesome, you have your turd together. You can look after yourself. It isna da States job to provide those that are able with housing. It's for those dat irna. Wise up.
