  1. I was going to suggest Unstfest, it's a great week of entertainment for all ages. There website will have information nearer the time. Only problem may be accomodation.
  2. The fact is Faroe got a massive increase in Mackerel quota to the deterement of the Scottish quota because they said the mackerel had increased in the Faroese waters, so what the hell are they doing over here. If the Shetland boats were fishing illegaly in Faroe you can be sure the fishery officers would be aboard them.
  3. It might even stop eventually for medical reasons http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-fight-for-whale-hunting-in-the-faroe-islands-inside-the-grind
  4. This is a great piece, http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9126932/why-we-should-let-faroe-islanders-hunt-whales/
  5. It would be good to think that Northlink would give a bit of leeway to anyone with a genuine reason for being late . They would in Lerwick. I've seen it happen. It only takes them 5 minutes to secure the walkway.
  6. Following his admission to leaking the memo of Nicola Sturgeon's conversation with the French ambassador should Carmichael resign?
  7. Living in the country I have been very surprised how many times I've used Mareel. I was never a keen cinema goer in my younger life, having stayed Sooth and in Lerwick, but I have now been several times with my wife to see films and really enjoyed the experience at Mareel. I know the bar as had it's faults but they are being worked on. The service on a normal night is very good and polite.The only problems have been large music gigs when the bar staff couldn't cope, this is being worked on by the management. As for the parking problem, there is none. I have parked at the museum when I couldn't get in Mareels car park and there are numerous car park within easy walking distance. The Mareel car park has more spaces than the North Star, Garrison and Islesburgh put together.
  8. You could say that about any language Paul.
  9. And now they are having to take in agency care workers from South, as they have nobody left to fill the shifts.S.B.I. was on the radio tonight saying thay had to meet the financial envelope what B.S.
  10. A lot of companies have Christmas dances for their staff and the hotels and Clickimin now advertise functions that individuals and companies can hire a table.
  11. The bridge was going to be built with legs in the main navigation channel for the harbour. The LPA told the council this at an early stage but were ignored. If I remember correctly the LPA had a tunnel to Bressay priced to show the council it could be built as cheap.Agree with Kavi Ugis comments about bridges in bad weather.
  12. My broadband speed changes from as much as 6.93 Mbps throught the day, to 1.06 after tea. Is this normal changes? I'm with Talk Talk should I change to BT?
  13. It's worthwhile advertising on Shetlink, it's free and I've sold a few things within days.Just look how many adverts are in the Shetland Times now, hardly any.
  14. FFS, erter wanted to go fishing, no shooting, what are you all on aboot?
  15. Tom Deyell at Springbank Electrical in Scalloway, his number is 01595 880722. Maybe closed at weekends.
  16. It's not a Shetland thing, this is part of Scottish house sale requirements, at least you don't get gazzumt like you do in England.
  17. The whole thing is a huge embarrassment to Shetland and I'm sure there are places with more financial problems keeping the public toilets open. Shetland also has a very high percentage of people with Colitis and Chrones disease, where the use of a toilet can be a very urgent necessity.
  18. In your opinion. Personally, I prefer JK Mainlands. Perhaps you might want to ask yourself if the Globe Butchers shop was doing so well, then why it isn't being sold as a going concern? It is strange that it wasn't sold as a going concern, or even offered to the staff to take over, they were all geniunely shocked at losing their jobs.
  19. Terry Leith played with Matt Vinyl, they still play occasionally. Rorie Gilles played with The Red Vans, they dont play now. Tommy Sinclair that worked in the parks plays a few tunes.
  20. Some great stuff on here www.backfrombeyond.org
  21. Last time I went to Brian,he sent me to Ronnie Roberts fae Cunningsburgh, I think he stays in Lerwick now.
  22. We went to Florence a couple of years ago, it is certainly touristy but we were staying among the locals in an apartment, there was so much to see and do. There are direct flights from Edinburgh to Pisa and regular buses from Pisa airport to Florence.It is expensive though, be prepared.
  23. The Shetland Classifieds page on Facebook says that you have to stay in Shetland to use it, it could be that you don't have enough proof on your page to verify this. It is obviously to avoid sales transaction problems that could occur from outwith Shetland.
  24. The works league started off as a non serious competition, but as with all things some take it more serious than others. The user name Penfold shoulder able to give you more info.
  25. I canna upload photos noo, dat I could before?? Now being told the file is to big, it wisna before?
