Did the text contain any links which had non-standard characters in them?
I seem to remember trying to post a link with the word "Böd" included in it and getting the same thing happening.
None at all - pure plain text - straight from notepad. When i pasted it in - it didnt appear - when i typed directly into the post - the text appeared.
I did send the text to a mod to put in - but it didnt appear in the pm either....so here's a little something instead
"I'm in trouble with the SSPCA - Cash for Gold dont take fish"
-
I give up - the text is all here below this text but it refuses to post it...

Work commenced on the project today - but nobody appears to have noticed !!!

Anyone know who won the best shop window UHA display? - I missed it in the Times although I was told it was probably the disturbingly lifelike dolls in the Shetland Art Company window.
-
but then again it was 1st april yest
Its April 1st today i believe.
I was told it had been shot but I cannot confirm that. Its a bizarre thing to do - bring foxes up here whether alive or dead, but its presumably amusing to some folk.
-
Another dead fox found by the side of the road at Gulberwick today. It appeared freshly dead and appeared to have been shot.

The third one I have seen here - one was an all white Arctic Fox (presumably swam to shore from a passing iceberg).
As a non-native species suggestions regarding its origins are welcome - someone went to a lot of trouble to bring it here....
Mods - please remove photo if anyone finds it offensive.

The Birds of Shetland book has an extensive list of Shetland bird names and their source - appendix 1 pp540-542.
this one
and the annual Shetland Bird Report published by the Shetland Bird Club has the [known] Shetland names against the species accounts, as did the annual Shetland Sea Mammal Report until it went belly up a few years ago.

Apologies if this link has been put up before but this site has some amazing 'Google Streetview' style panoramic images of the 2010 Lerwick Up Helly Aa.

Was the galley burnt with the excellent carved head still attached?
The Uyeasound galley has an excellent carved head but is not burnt. A second galley is burnt instead.
Just wondered if the head was kept or a new one carved each year.
