I wish people would stop debating Up Helly Aa and just enjoy it for what it is! If you don't agree with it or don't like it - don't go!! But, if, like me you've grown up with it or you've come up from South especially to see it, then its something to look forward to every year. I think that many people take the whole thing too seriously and usually the people bad mouthing it are the ones that don't go out and really know nothing about it. The bairns love it and its certainly one of the highlights of the year for many people.

I heard it yesterday - its got to be............Cotton Eye Joe!!! I had to leave the pub immediately

Has anyone been to the new kebab shop - Turkish Delight? We went a couple of days ago and it's really good. I thought the Turkish owner looked familiar and it turns out he used to own a Turkish restaurant in Aberdeen called Mangal. We had a meal there a couple of years ago and it was spectacular. Anyway, he says he's turning the upstairs into a restaurant which should be brilliant and if its as good as the one in Aberdeen, might force some of the other restaurants in the town to make more of an effort, mainly the two Chineses which have really gone downhill recently. Ghurka kitchen is an exception, the food and service there is always excellent!!

Cheers!! I will try that.

I'm a bit thick when it comes to downloading stuff. Can anybody tell me what site you go to or how you download episodes of lost from the Internet after they've been shown on American TV. I tried to do it last year but it didn't work and I ended up buying a dodgy DVD off some guy on ebay!
