opening film for Mareel?

Should we not look after what we have first. Theres a unique stone in the old Eshaness kirkyard with runes on it. A past council and locals stopped it being preserved.

It looked very green when I passed it today, greener than it was at first.

Is there an address where I can send my copy back to? (with no postage) I hate unsolicited rubbish through my door.

Just found this http://www.shetland.gov.uk/capitalprogramme/documents/2007-04_02_SACStage2Document_FINAL.pdf

I try to support my local shop but the miserable selection of fruit and veg drives me to the town. The local shop is certainly cheaper for many things but it cant supply everything. Rubbery carrots and wrinkly peppers dont do it for me. To me Tesco is attractive for the better quality of food than you can get in Somerfield of the Coop.

I think that in the old museum something on the staircase counted folk as they went up but I did here it said that it included everone - staff, postman etc.

A coastal feature near the ancestral home. Bit boring

I was there this week for lunch. Food was good although the portions perhaps a tad too peerie for the price. I'm still trying to suss what a sort of fish a lyrie is, it formed part of the chowder along with piltocks. Is a lyrie a plucker? The cakes were the same as the Peerie Shop Cafe. The service was up to Shetland standards with an appropriate mix of chaos and surliness. Don't go at lunchtime if you are in a hurry.

Vernon Coleman seems to be saying what many are thinking.

I had to scan through the new issue looking for a laugh and it didnt fail. Quite why some businesses advertise fails me. Have they not seen an edition?

lets hope not

Well I'm a Christian and happen to be gay. Can I print leaflets?

Hardly a good start - a horrible bit of design and unwanted paper fell through my letterbox today

Go for it bigdandancingman!!! .... please

I find myself agreeing with Ewenutz having today bought shoes (John Lewis), jeans (Next) and several books (Amazon) all online. Its not just choice thats not available here, as Ewenutz said, its also quality. Chris Hodge has its place I'm sure but the town is full of shops selling cheap goods of dubious quality. I may pay a bit more for the clothes, shoes and household goods that I buy but they do last and are well made. The most successful shops in Lerwick seem to be those where there has been some investment over the years. Many, although they must have had it good for many years, have never invested in their properties. Just look at the stonework and roofs of some buildings. As a result they are cramped with terrible stairs and circulation. Even in some of the old buildings modern shops can be developed. Look at Mackays and Boots, with a bit of money and effort perfectly decent modern shops are possible on the street. To keep the street viable we need more good shops, if not we can really accept that its had its day. If it wasnt for the bank and post office I would hardly need to be on the street. There is still a need for some bigger retail units somewhere out of the town centre.

If you mean, did I use my fingers and look in a mirror? I did

Instruction manual for Twerto?

The lack of responses must indicate that she's all yours Twerto Enjoy

I saw them but thought it was just a TMobile deal. Any idea what TMobile coverage is like here?

Eco balls sound good. Must try them as I get concerned for my septic tank.

Folk have been getting these letters, me included. The website lets (or did let, last time I tried) you book others using your ADS card. Its their problem - not yours, as its an advantage to book family or friends using one card/booking. This guarantees you all get on a flight rather than doing bookings for each person with their own ADS number. The danger with that is that some of you get cheap seats, but the last one to book may find that there are no cheap seats left. The problem is easily corrected if the website asked for each persons name and ADS number. Perhaps it does now. Do as I did, write back explaining the problem and copy your letter to Tavish.

Why not let the SIC try to push it through now, and enjoy the clear out in the election. I'm sure members have been given all the facts. As usual they won't have read anything other than the recommendations and now they choose to blame the officials.

I might get shot
