  1. Also, I ordered a roller-blind from a specialist store in Edinburgh cut to the right size and everything. All went well and the order went through. A day later I got an email from them asking if I would accept an added courier charge of nearly £40. I politely advised them that I could get on the ferry as a foot passenger with a return ticket to Aberdeen and back for less than the courier charge that they had tried to impose. Another one was a (Well known in some circles) shooting supplier in England. I ordered new telescopic sights for my rifle and they tried to charge me £18 for the courier charge. We then got into a little bit of a little spat which ended up with me saying, 'Do you want my money or not? If you DO then you'll put it in the post'. 3 days later I was screwing the sights onto my rifle after they had been delivered via the Royal Mail.
  2. The clickimin campsite?.....Sod the frikkin' campsite! Get more houses built. There are plenty of fields and valleys to go camping in around Shetland.
  3. Do we really need another thread about dog crap??
  4. ...and what is not to like about that? I'd rather go to Mordor for a night out and I hear the pints are cheaper
  5. Is anyone else thinking......'Wicker man'??? >.
  6. Yep, but that was a diffrent case.
  7. There are quite a few restored flying airframes left but not many are vintage World War 2. Did the Glacier Girl not crash at an airshow some years back? I love seeing these old ladies in the air, same with the Spitfires, Hurricanes, Lancasters and Mustangs.....In short, anything with a Merlin/Griffon engine. They sound like nothing else
  8. Sadly, in this time and age we're in, cuts must be made. I'd rather see one ferry be taken off the Yell crossing than see another school closure. The Children of Shetland are our future. As laughable as our council may be at times, I'd rather have them at the helm than an official representative of the Scottish/UK Govt. For they would show a lot less sympathy or remorse than any councillor from up here.
  9. I widna wan tae land ida toon onyways....
  10. I'd say that's pretty terminal then sadly.
  11. So does nobody at all play Eve then?
  12. HAHA! Yeah she looked pretty grubby up top but from what I've been told the hull was sound enough. It would be good to see her in use again.
  13. I was out for a walk this morning around Blacksness and I noticed the Spes Clara has gone, does anyone know where she is?
  14. Was that tongue in cheek?.....A nuclear station would cost in the hundreds of millions, maybe a billion....Who knows. One thing's for sure, no power company or the UK govt. for that matter wil be spending that degree of money on Shetland with it's population of 22,000 people
  15. I thought if something had a bit of rope tied around it then it was 'tagged' and couldn't be taken by anyone else.
  16. I post my opinions here but I don't hide behind a false name.
  17. Yeah buddy I know all that, what I needed couldn't be bought on a Tuesday, I needed to get to work and there were no buses running.
  18. Yep....Dead right mate. They USED to close on a Wednesday, not any more .
  19. I don't really see how it can be likened to Christmas or New year in any way, both of those are on a diffrent scale of things entirely. I'm sure Santa would have something to say about that!
  20. This is what I hate about up helly aa....The whole bloody island has to stop what it's doing just for the sake of a boat burning.
  21. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-FinePix-HS20EXR-Digital-Camera/dp/B004G8Q61E/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2245OVOWU95W0&colid=1PXNC8JPM4EYE
  22. NO!-NO!-NO!-NO!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpqmGx7meQw&ob=av2e ARRRRRGGHHHHH!!!!!
  23. Well that was a beauty wasn't it? The Irish forwards looked a bit tired. I don't know that Wales have another game like that in them though. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/14830264.stm You don't know if Wales have another game like that in them!?? Lol....How many of the Wales games have you watched so far buddy? They should have beaten South Africa and they've never really looked like losing a game since then. All the extra fitness training that Warren Gatland and the Welsh coaching staff put the squad through before the world cup is paying dividends now & long may it continue.....CYMRU AM BYTH!
  24. Everyone on the housing/benefit list should have to pass a weekly drugs test to qualify for benefits/housing.
  25. We were up there working on a job for Scottish water a year or two back, it's a beautiful place but I hated it due to the 'adverse' winter conditions that we had to endure when we were up there. I'd love to go back another day when the sun is out and there isn't an 80mph gale....there's absolutely no shelter from the wind out there .
