  1. This Faroese garden is up near Busta : http://shetlopedia.com/Vatnagerd Do something like it for Shetland
  2. Kozetland1 has visited the galley shed, and taken pictures of all the Shields on display in the Kiln Bar. I have put them into the page : http://shetlopedia.com/Scalloway_Fire_Festival Most of them are from years unknown, now I hope Shetlinkers can help me to date them
  3. Here it is : "Da Loard's Prayer" Fedder up abön, dy name is holy. We bow wirsels afore dee. May du aye regin among wis; may dy wyes aye be wir wyes. Gie wis dis day da meat we need. Forgie da ills wir dön as we forgie ills dön ta wis. Dunna mak life fir wis a trachle bit save wis fae da soaroo. Charles Greig - A Shetland Bible
  4. OK, I was wrong, it excists in dialect. It is on the CD that follows the Shetland Bible....but I can't find it written anywhere......
  5. I guess that the Shetlanders has learned the prayer in proper English, like we Norwegians learned it in proper Norwegian, there are things where you not use dialect, and I think this is one of them. Correct me if I'm wrong. This website might be useful for you : http://www.shetlanddialect.org.uk/
  6. You will find it on this page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shetland
  7. In Norway we have a law that says that all dogs shall be kept in lash between first of April and twentieth of August. That is a law for the whole Country, many towns and communes have expanded that law to be a rule for the whole year on beaches, parks and other public areas.....
  8. I like "Da Noost", because it has so many nice photos on the walls ,(downstairs)...never been upstairs
  9. Well, Shetlandpeat don't say WHERE it is....so it can be anywhere in the world.....
  10. The Norwegian word "Pirre" can mean tickle.....so it' s a breeze that just tickles you
  11. Yeah, I think it comes from Norse....The words "Pir" - "Piren" means small in some dialects, a "Pir" is also a small fish ....
  12. ^^ Don't loose your sence of humor !! We're trying to add a little bit of fun into Shetlink too !! PS EM : I will copy this pic and add it into the SMUHA page :D
  13. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiksund_Tunnel Near where I live... And here is the others we Norwegians have to deal with ...... http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undersj%C3%B8iske_veitunneler_i_Norge And we also have a few road tunells...not under water... http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veitunneler_i_Norge This one is rather loooong... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A6rdal_Tunnel Dagfinn, it's not meant as a competition... , but this must be the funniest one http://www.norway.com/directories/d_company.asp?id=5854

  15. @don't know read what EM has posted earlier..... And Ghostrider..... If you shall join them ... ...you have to be dressed as a WRECK ( wrecked Galley ??? ) !!! (He is the one who has made nearly 100 % of the shipwreck pages on Shetlopedia )
  16. ^^ How is it possible that it was in Sandwick Social Club on the 20th ????? http://shetlopedia.com/Image:SMUHA_Galley_Bits_6_-_Jeannie.JPG

  19. http://www.ciao.co.uk/Recipes_for_Drinks__Review_5304848 http://www.retro-culture.com/ginger-beer-plant.html http://www.melburyandappleton.co.uk/ginger-beer-plant-998-p.asp
  20. ^ Never thought about that....I open the message in another tab and switch between the two........
  21. ^^ What has this to do with the security at Sumburgh Airport ???????????
  22. Sumburgh Airport is no worse than others, I think.....and i've gone though quite a lot of airports around the world.... OK, I was body searched, had to empty my backpack... used to that..(kitchen sink and all the rest)....and tell them what things were, while the Auld Een was giggeling on the other side of the line...( HE was known !!!! - I was a foreigner!!)...., but they were polite, nothing to complain about !! ....Before the security check......my name was called, and I had to show up at the checked in luggage area...a man had my big bag in front of him.....frowned at me..."Your bag?"...---"Yes" (Wondering what's wrong)----"There is a LIGHTER in there !!!!!!" Ooooops, I've forgot the one that was left in the small handbag I had to put in the luggage because of the "one-hand-luggage-item pr. person-rule" Luckily I knew about where in the bag the handbag were, found it, and all were happy !! (...In Frankfurt one time, a security guy looked at me as I've comitted murder, pointed at my backpack and said :" There is a pair of SCISSORS there !" ..and I had to dig out my small embrodery scissors, (1/2 inch blade)...it was confiscated...but my Swiss army knife with a 3 inch blade happily went through......I did not notice that that one was in a side pocket of my handbag before after I've arrived LA) PS : I wish I had seen the face of a friend of mine at the Crand Canary airport when the security man started giggeling when her backpack went through the X-ray.....and she realised that he saw the 5 funny dildos she had bought as presents to friends............
  23. Kozetland1 has taken pics of Jarl Squad Shields from different years which are at display in Lunnasting School. http://shetlopedia.com/Delting_Up_Helly-Aa Are there anyone who knows which years they are from ???
