Good thread! thoroughly spooked mysel' out reading! If you go to The Kist o Riches website, the sound archives of the School of Scottish Studies, and search "shetland" and " Ghost stories" there are a fair few old eens. http://www.tobarandualchais.co.uk

I have just spoken to a real person at o2 and they said that it sounds like a network problem but there is no problem with the network logged in the last week. the (very helpful) woman i spoke to said that anyone else suffering network problems with o2 - either with sending/receiving txts or calls should call o2 customer service now on 4445 or from a landline on 0844 809 0222 and log it. she said that the technical department rarely actions one complaint re network problems as its "very pricey" so if more fowk complained there is more chance of sorting it out and sending an engineer if needs be. Seems a bit ridic' that they can't help the individual, but there you hae it!

I am expereicing similar problems with o2 and after a supopsedly "live chat" with an 02 rep online (i have my doubts!) they say there is no problem in Shetland with the network and the problem is that i have an older sim. The fact that i know of 5 other people with the same problem didn't seem to register!

joost don't spray them wi fly killer...made that mistake once on een i couldna reach wi a rolled up paper. Spray isna very fast acting on dem...torturous death throes went on for some time. stick wi the paper method!

cheers folk, it's good to hear that somethings don't get lost in the msts o time. very intersesting cheers! Louise

i love this! deefilment abound! and all that gorgeous imagery too But pleasures are like poppies spread, You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed; Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white-then melts for ever; Or like the Borealis race, That flit ere you can point their place; Or like the Rainbow's lovely form Evanishing amid the storm. - Nae man can tether Time nor Tide,

Hi folk Can anyone mind...or indeed has anyone seen recently...a fiddler or a piper lead a wedding procession fae da kirk to da hall/venue? I'm doing an esssay for uni and although it's really supposed to be based on photographic archives, i just wondered if this tradition has died out completely or if there's been the odd revival...it's more out of nosiness than neccessity but it would be interesting to hear Cheers Louise
