Good on you!

Having said that, why does Shetland always vote LibDem and voted to remain then? Since you guys are dependent on fishing it doesn't even make sense?

Yeah Shetland is the definition of rural so to act like Metro Libs when you're stuck in the sea 1000 miles from anything is just plain dumb

The real metro libs in London and Edinburgh probably refer to your islands as "Sh*tland" behind your backs...

The most important question is, do they sell the Colonel's chicken up there?

Screw that, I hope the place is consumed by a Tsunami.

Perhaps you and Beerman could move there and set up your own KFC franchise?

I'll be sure to come and visit!

Since you're our resident Shetlander do you actually get full civil twilight around the solstice or is it ultra-marginal? I've read on Time and date.com that Unst has it and Lerwick hasn't? Here it's dark-ish for 2.5 hours two latitudes down...

Trawling is more "fun" during a force 9 gale than a calm day.

As for "Global Warming", I don't believe in that donkey sh*t, not in the slightest; chemical emission cannot change the f**king climate. Leftie tw*ts don't know what's good for them.
Neither do I man, it's nothing more than a convenient way for leftist gubbermunts and their overpaid academics to fill their coffers while they preach their holier-than-thou green guilt-trip wank, so they can get a bigger private jet to the next Paris Dribble-fest lecturing us on the environmental destruction caused by air travel.

Or fat Jamie Oliver lecturing us on healthy eating.
