.......but then again breakfast is thrown in cos "none of the passengers had any and we have to use it up so help yourselves".

I also mind the owners of Voe House about 40 year ago. Being a bit cuckoo dey got shot o' dem too.

Nailed it in 1 unlinkedstudent - well put.

Hey K - Thankyou for that clarification.

Karlos - you've lost me there (highlighted in bold above).

Some people don't have the fogiest idea!

Abodee we a glinderin o midder wit kins sheite whin dae cum opun hit, in trekking trow da ness, hits assey tae tak a tak aroond hit

I've just Google Earthed "Da Ness" and it's plain to see that the sharn that emanates from the area just piles higher and higher.

"Soylent Green" could be an option for some! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green

Given the fine weather in Shetland this past week this global warming stuff seems to be working in a favourable way - the climate apparently shifting in a positive manner appears to be providing a relative calm that many may welcome - of course proponents of wind induced energy transformation may beg to differ.

Spring has surely officially sprung and wee flowers are pushing up in earnest....alas to wilt away in a matter of days much the same as that greasy spread that hit the market and didn't make the grade. Never mind - council housing, and the tenancy of, will continue to be an issue worthy of debate ad infinitum.

More expensive than where, exactly? I would have thought that anywhere in Britian would be cheaper than here. Ive heard that people sell there houses in England and can easily buy a property here and have plenty of money left. You've just contradicted yourself there, PG. Or do we have crossed wires? Yep wires weel tangled I wid say

^ thanks for that info MJ. Blyde to hear it.

Hope that the Jarl remembers to get clearance to carry a plethora of weapons through US airport security upfront. They can be a bit funny about that, even the pretend stuff.

It's ok there are no rural youth clubs active in da toon that can be ceased.

V. - It is highly probable that any solicitation on the street will be picked up by the CCTV as well so don't fret

by god Gibber.... doo knows how to stick it in 'im - lol

...but to help you understand the furore I have extracted the exact words printed in the Times last week: Sad Comment I refer to MP Alistair Carmichael’s remarks last week about single sex marriage in which he considers that “sexuality is not a choiceâ€. New Testament 1 Cor 6 v 9 says quite clearly: “Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers – none of these will inherit the kingdom of Godâ€. To the above list we could also add drug addiction and other modern problems. These are not permanent afflictions and we should not underestimate the resolve and determination of people to overcome these issues, nor should we discourage them from doing so. All of these people have a choice, with the possibility of judgment hanging over them they can overcome their particular addiction and become normal people. To say that they don’t have a choice is a depressing and sad comment. Homosexuals can overcome their particular problem and live celibate lives. We should not remove hope from their particular situation. It doesn’t matter what legislation government implements, or how the vote went last week, the plumb line which divides right from wrong has not been moved but stays, and will continue to stay, exactly where it has always been. This indulgence (sodomy) can never be an acceptable or respectable practice. Peter Tait Walls

A clue could be in the question

7000 programmes were printed with the above. However as usual last minute tweaks led to the Bill showing: Top o' Da Pops 1. Highway Star - Robbie Williams on Tour The point was still made though: DEFACERS OF OUR BILL WILL HAVE THEIR SEA COCKS AND BILGE SUCTIONS SCREWED UP TIGHT BY WIR JARL.

A bit of confusion methinks. I generally am wary of people who 'offer' advice. Justified. Ha ha, dat'll teach me to welcome folk and give advice. Maybe my dry sense of humour doesn't always come across as I mean it. I'm always wary of people I don't know and a few I do know Ah, so is it da dry Sherry doos on - serfs dee right?

Under the headline "Fair Wind To Shetland" or "They've got Wind - We'll Give them More"

Just check the labelling (when you get to the front of the queue). You'll most likely find that most of the produce was harvested outside the UK a while back so your batch will be exactly the same as Jacks. Except he's probably eaten some of his beans now. (Oops nearly slipped into a fairy tale there - must be the time of year (Oh no it isn't shrieked {some} Shetlinkers.....)

Mmm - ah yes the "fresh stuff" that's been sitting festering in the back of a lorry for the last few days..

You can be assured they will break even at least ( the perishable stock would have been lost anyway no doubt) - however I hope the regular Tescoites don't bleat too much if the prices charged turn out to be premium compared to "normal". Like I said above - the Late Don Leslie did this several times in the past and he was certainly a good business man. (It wasn't a Hercules used then right enough but I think it did make the Shetland Times
