Where is 3 , 4 , and 5 commercial road then if the chippy is 2 and thulecraft is 6 ?

Ice breaker choc bar with the green mint bits.

Oh Yes !! Stand outside the town hall any day of the week and you'll see them....all different shapes and sizes , but definately all cuckoo's.

Never mind foglights for a minute , what about the low grade morons who were driving around today in a steekit mist wi no f****ng lights at all ? !!! Hell mend you if you have a crash , just feel sorry for the poor sausage who hits you idiots cos they cant see you.

So do I , its all their fault....inflation , deflation , whooping cough , equal rights for gay whales.....

[quote=" That's not exactly original is it!? Why couldn't you have started a thread where everyone is agreeable and nice to one another ] Dats a f*****g stupid idea !

I personally think that whatever figures the sic come up with will be stoness , just designed to suit themselves in their own peerie plan. How can anybody take seriously anything the sic come up with considering the multiple millions lost / wasted and spent on utter hellery in the last 10 years alone ?

I thought it had been proven to councillors that the time taken to bus the bairns to Lerwick was longer than their "policy" allowed ? Or will that "policy" just be changed to suit the sic ? And at what cost will having such a network of buses ? It seemed that any suggestions about reopening the Scalloway secondary and busing bairns out of Lerwick was poo pooed big time , no surprises there. Whatever happens must happen in lerwick. Its only maybe 3 yrs ago we all attended The so called "blueprint" for education meetings at the Aith school and not one mention was made then of a definate closure programme.......it appears now that that was all stoness and this has been on the cards for a long time. Just goes to show , as if any more proof were needed that the sic are simply not to be trusted.

So at long last the truth about the viability of the monstrosity of a windfarm comes out......instead of erecting , say, another 20-30 turbines like they have in tingwall (already proven to be the most succesful in the world ) to provide our electricity needs. Can we get our £10 million that was invested back / or will it be the same balls up as the norrona....again ?

It was only recently that they community skip provision was abolished , saving £70,000 per year , even more recently I saw an advert in the shetland times , sic looking for a lecturer in nordic buisness studies....probably on a salary of at least half what the skips cost !! What in gods name do we need that for ? If a few , and I do mean a few want to study this then like many other qualifications , why dont they go to university and study it ? This is another perfect example of total waste of resources when cut backs on services that all benefit from are being closed or taken away in one form or other. Elsewhere I read that even if the social care was privatised then the council as service provider would have to be the monitering body , so no job losses there again !! Heard recently that the new admin HQ for the sic was just having the finishing touches put to it when along came some bright spark and instructed the workforce that practically all the internals had to be removed and redone.....to make space for more offices.......sam as dey didna hae enough offices tae do very little in.....

Defo I.C.D. Doogan will gie you a better price and like tabba said , he wont rip you off.

Hi , Arch hendersons used to do it , and if they dont they certainly will know who does. Cheers.

Well oh shetlandbleat its pretty "anal" of you to suggest that the wealthy shouldnt pay a price for this mess , after all it was because of them that the country is in the mess it is. And your suggestion that we are all better of ??? Where do you get that wonky idea from ? People up and down the country are struggling to survive all this austerity etc , Dont you read a newspaper / watch the news ?? Didnt you know that the MPs of this country wanted a 32% pay rise recently ? ! Now with all the cutbacks etc all they want to do is line their own pockets at our expense. Open your eyes !

quote] Perhaps when the UK needs similar bail outs, the MSPs will do the same. Anal thinking, as ever. Coming from an a**ehole like you , thats praise indeed.....you really are just an offensive ikesome little chit. Now go away and play nice.

If that was the case the surely the council would be at fault for not having suitable accomodation to offer you and you would just simply refuse to pay the difference.

I see the MPs etc in Cyprus are taking a 20% pay cut as part of their austerity measures.......Our shower at both local and national level will surely be making a similar announcement any day now.......................?

Try places like the plantie crub or DITT or Hays , If you ask for insulation like bubble wrap they might have it. Some people use it in greenhouses and such like. It was ceaper to buy a roll of that when we were south to wrap up some stuff than to buy bubble wrap , but basicly the same stuff.

Remember when Labour came to power in 1997 , one of the first things they did was raid the private pension funds for 5 billion in tax , dont remember if that was a one off or not though ?

Totally agree. The REAL parasites being throughout westminster and the house of lords , their flunkies and hangerons , the fat cat bankers and associated sidekicks , get rid of that shower of s***e and you would save a most considerable fortune..........

Taxpayers are forking out more than £60,000 a WEEK so wealthy peers in the House of Lords can feast on lavish three-course meals. Restaurants, cafes and bars catering for the 760 Lords, bishops and baronesses receive £1.3million a year from the public purse, official figures revealed. But the subsidy actually costs the taxpayer over £1million MORE as Lords authorities offset profits raked in from events and gift shop sales. They deducted £1,033,118 from the total £2,361,437 subsidy in 2011/12. That breaks down to £63,823 for each of the 37 weeks the Lords were sitting. TaxPayers’ Alliance chief Matthew Sinclair said: “Creative accounting won’t change the fact that taxpayers are subsiding food and drink for Lords when many families are struggling even to put food on the table.†The shock figures means each of the House of Lords’ 760 peers benefits from an £84 discount on their food every week. The lavish cut is more than the weekly Jobseeker’s Allowance for the unemployed of just £71. And it comes on top of the £300-a-day “subsistence†given to peers for each day they attend the Lords to cover food and accommodation. Many peers are multi-millionaires. Conservative former leader of the Lords, Lord Strathclyde, is worth around £10million and ex Deputy PM Lord Heseltine is said to be worth £200million. A breakdown of the House of Lords catering subsidy was published in Parliamentary record Hansard after a question from Lord Campbell-Savours. It showed the Barry Room got £246,307 in 2011/12. The Peers’ Dining Room received £757,696, the River Restaurant £501,646 and the boozy Bishops’ Bar £43,971. The Home Room got £185,694, the Lords Bar £326, the Millbank House Cafe £73,857 and the peers’ guest room £2,843. “Central costs†set taxpayers back another £549,179. Catering is overseen by the 13 peers who are appointed to the House of Lords refreshment committee. It meets once a month and discussions on subsidies are normally held behind closed doors to keep them secret. With the subsidy, peers have dined on “terrine of foie gras with toasted brioche, Amaretto jelly and a tomato and thyme dressing†for just £7.50. Other delights on the menu have included “trompette mushroom risotto with truffles, champagne and double creamâ€, for a mere £8.50. A la carte menu The Barry room menu Last week in the Barry Room peers could enjoy “blackened goats’ cheese for just £6, served with beetroot textures and soy nuts, or quail served with pancetta popcorn, sweetcorn and red onionsâ€. As a main, “seared scallops with cured duck breast, pear puree, stuffed cabbage, duck crackers and a vanilla and duck sauce†cost £14.50. For £1 less, diners could have chosen “roulade of pigeon served with celeriac puree, mushroom consomme and baby vegetablesâ€. They could also have had the roast of the day for £9.50. And even the most expensive dish on the menu, the £28 Dover sole and langoustine ravioli, will have barely dented a peer’s £300-a-day expenses. In the Peers’ Dining Room, diners were able to make their selection from an a la carte list or from a set menu. Choosing from the a la carte menu, our lords could go for a lavish starter of “marinated king scallops with sea and baby fennel, blood orange, puffed pork rind and crisp shallots†for £7. Or they may have preferred the “smoked duck breast with fig and sultana puree, ras el hanout granola and preparations of raspberries†for £6.75. For their mains, a “lamb loin noisette and braised lamb rib with potato Anna and port jus†costs £15, while “king prawns fried in pork rind with crab dumplings, egg noodles, steamed vegetables and soy dressing†was available for £14. Simon Rimmer, co-host of Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch and owner of two restaurants around Manchester, said the restaurants were selling the meals cheaper than he could make them at home. He added: “We’d all like to be in the situation where we could eat that kind of food for that kind of money. "You couldn’t buy that anywhere in Britain. It’s cheaper than you could make it yourself.†A House of Lords spokesman said: “The unique nature and working practices of the House of Lords makes an operating loss on catering facilities inevitable.†He added: “There has been a consistent reduction in the level of the House of Lords catering and retail subsidy since 2007/08. "By the end of 2012/13 it is anticipated that subsidy reduction on 2007/8 levels will be 43%.†The revelations come as critics of the Lords fear it is only going to get MORE expensive to run, as David Cameron lines up scores more peerages to stuff the benches with loyal Tories. The PM has already ennobled 125 at a rate of nearly 50 a year, compared with an average of 35 for Tony Blair and only 15 for Margaret Thatcher. No wonder this country is in the state its in...............
