How depressing

Chips are going down hill at the moment. The art is lost.

Tbh, I have always hankered after a pair of Gucci shoes (size 8, 42), the traditional ones with the metal horsebit on the front, but that is never going to happen because they don't actually make shoes that big for women! So, I suppose I will just have to sew a Shetland pony snaffle onto my wellies and hope for the best!

I thank you! Mr Tizzler is a purchase off Shetlink no less!

Presumably, all the staff are phychic I am not asking for the staff to have psychic abilities. What I am asking for is for the Flybe staff to respect the advice of the police when they say do not go out, therefore not needing to see your face at the desk before they cancel the flights. .....which today they have done!

The thing that gets me is that you have to risk life and limb to get to the Flybe desk at Sumburgh for them to tell you the flight is cancelled and to get a refund or replacement. They won't tell you it is cancelled until they see you at the desk even if the police have said do not go out.

Chips are excellent (had some really tired ones from both The Fort and the Happy Haddock recently) but the white pudding needed to be cooked in hotter oil I think. The batter was pale and flabby, not crisp at all. In fact the contents of their counter of the pre-fried fish, meat, etc wore the same coloured batter. I hope this is teething problems because their chips were excellent and the white pudding was a good make but needed longer imho. Yum, yum! I am keen to try the kebabs but not until I am 100% convinced everything is cooked for long enough...... for obvious reasons!

I have Mr and Mrs Turkey (the Twizzlers!) who I think are Bronze cross something. You are welcome to some eggs if Mrs ever lays. Mr T is huuuuge! http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/Frances144/2Feb2010020.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/Frances144/2Feb2010048.jpg

Chuck numbers are slightly depleted due to polecat activity. Eggs might be a bit of a premium from now on. I will see how they go. Tbh, mine are ornamental hens at the moment! Eggs? What are those? Grain is over £7 for 25kg too.

I am appalled. Absolutely appalled. This is shocking. See you on Monday.

Oh I am glad it is not just me then!

People on Facebook who write in bad Shetland dialect because they live here but are from mainland UK. I am from mainland UK and I think it looks pretentious and rather sad tbh. I do not think it looks like they are "fitting in" but more like they want to be like one of da boys! See? It is irritating.

I was right. For once I was right. How dare they? What on earth has that got to do with Shetland. The downright dishonesty. They are blatantly misleading the public.

On their banner - where the changing pictures are - is that really Shetland? Seems to have an awful lot of trees? Are those trees? And I am not liking VisitScotland all over the page. Hmmmm.

Why can't the supermarkets sell white goods or clothing? Is there a reason. I can't remember!

"You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses," Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

From the website:- "£125m Westminster New Build Commences » CityWest Homes commences their New Community Build social housing development for Westminster City Council. dalzell projects led the preparation of the programme and successful Housing Corporation grant application process. This will deliver some 500 new homes for £125 million, right in the heart of the Capital."

Is that before or after they have fainted at the price of the flights or ferry?

I thought it made us out to look like we live in run-down croft houses, with a lifestyle of the 1950's, using outside bogs having just discovered electricity, etc. On day 1, of course, the pod of killer whales will pop by and why not enjoy some otter watching in the afternoon. Huh? The photography was stunning but I did find him rather cringeworthy - a sort of cross between Play School presenting style with a deranged grin.

I would like to see an Annual Return for all the staff that run the Education Department too at Hayfield House with a job title, etc.

I think animal manure helps to improve the soil. I wonder where they can find piles and piles of it locally then? Hmmmm..........
