Frosty Jack Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Go play pool in the Thulie, all the while talking loudly in an English accent about how you 'love this Orkney place, and might just buy a holiday home here'.Seriously, the locals will love it, and will probably buy you a pint, or something...

Da Fat Porn Star Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 If I remember correctly, when I worked in a fish sales office the fishermen used to regularly go up there for trips, get drunk and fall in the harbour. So there's your night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray@ladymercedes Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I played in Scalloway a few years back. Don't remember much about it, except from the groupies, lol. The place that we played paid for our long but hilarious return boat trip and ave us a free bar. Silly buggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they paid us 450.Heh! that was probably the loose change that was left out of the EC cultural grant they got to put you guys on...Post autumn equinox there is a serious lack of daylight to do any "outside activities", But the Shetlanders are really warm and friendly to "ony soo moothers", honest, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
