valhalla

I'm in Lerwick

I have been getting little or no signal with vodafone from June 2013. I have called 'customer services' numerous times. They have blamed my phone (a nokia lumia 800) gave me a new sim card etc etc, all of their suggestions have not worked. The customer service has been dreadful and pretty rude at times. The technical dept has also been involved. They have blamed the weather, my signal's been hidden by trees! Etc etc! To blame trees here was the last straw. A few of my friends and colleagues have been bothered with the same problem. Not all stay in Lerwick, or use lumias. The very last straw was when I was told to 'pop into my local store' to get my phone checked! The tech team have acknowledged there is/has been a fault but the problem is still ongoing. I did suggest that an engineer could 'pop' up to Shetland to sort the problem! Has anyone else on Shetlink suffered or are suffering from the same problem?

CIAO SUPER SIC. R.I.P big guy.

Marvin if my old grey matter serves me corectly Sister Bliss first came up to Shetland to play in the North Star March 11 and 12th 1994. When the LK Sound factory opened she came up to play on one of the first nights there. Oakenfold came up the last few months the LK soundfactory was open

I've been meaning to post this for ages..... We were stumped for a Christmas pressie for relatives who stay in London. I stumbled across http://www.designedinshetland.co.uk/epages/es106918.sf As usual we had left our present buying for the last minute! I contacted the owner of the site and asked if I could pick it up in Lerwick somewhere and pay for it on delivery. Nothing was to much trouble. 2 days later I was the proud owner of a fantastic wall hanging. It had been made to order. I even got to choose different colours. Da peerie sheep on it is da happiest sheep I'm ever seen! Fantastic service! I would recommend Designed in Shetland to anyone. I will deffo order from them again and can't wait for their craft/gift shop to open in Hillswick. It's going to be called "Peerie Mootie" and will be in the former Dr's surgery in the Spring this year. ( I wish them all the best of luck with their new venture)and can't wait to go for a hock aboot! I would also like to thank "da boys" fae George Robertsons for saving our Christmas dinner! I was pre cooking our roasts on Xmas Eve and our cooker conked oot! It had already conked out previously on Xmas day a couple of years ago! (10 mins before EVERYTHING was ready it stopped working! We had to get me Mam to finish cooking the dinner at hers! ) That time it was the fuse that had blown! Still one good thing was that I never managed to burn onything that year!! Onywye, at half past two we decided dat we had to get a new cooker. We found one at Geordie Robertsons. da boys asked when we were wanting it delivered, I said in a fun 10 mins ago please!! "Nae budder" dey said! Dey even offered wis a free turkey!! By da time we got home ( in Lerwick) the van was waiting ootside wir hoose!! Wir owld cooker was removed and the new one wired in within half an hour. Now DAT's service! Happily the dinner was brilliant (even though I say so meself!!) So huge Thank you's to both of you. My faith in local retailers has been restored once again!!

What a stupid comment Styles! I know quite a few diabetics and have not yet come across "an untidy sausage" yet. From the first diagnosis they are ALL taught how to dispose of their life saving needles responsibily. Do your homework styles. You have ruffled my feathers a bit there.

Found this story. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-476137/Man-blew-van-trying-kill-police.html I'm kinda shuddering at the fact he was in Shetland just before this.

Thanks for your replies. Can you lay an aamos on anybody? e.g. do I hae to ken dem? What is the "something" that I do or give them? Am I right in mindin that you NEVER tell the person that you've laid an aamos on dem? If you lay an aamos are you meant to keep it a secret? Is it a good or bad thing to do? As your probably already guessed there is something that I wid really lik to get and want/need to ken dat I'm doing it right! Cheers!

Can onbody refresh my memory how to go aboot layin an aamos on somebody please. I can mind peerie bits dat me Granny telt me but no enough! Cheers!
