More holidays less bad news
Posted: Thursday, 05 January 2006 |
It seems that at this time of year there's little news around. Both papers seem a little slim (unlike the rest of us) and those are padding out with Ba pictures and bouncing babies who happen to appear at key times.
There are less drink driving incidents and less news of criminal proceedings, too. Have the long holidays have encouraged good news and discouraged people wanting to harm others?
Maybe this means if we had long holidays more often, there would be less bad events to report. What do you think?
In the meantime, if you have anything interesting happening, please inform the papers and Radio Orkney and tell them I sent you.
This blog is now closed and we are no longer accepting new posts.
CommentsWhat do you mean there's nothing happening? Well not in Orkney maybe but surely the story of Trevor and the van has been syndicated around the world by now. Last I heard Reuters just couldn't cope with the enquiries...
Newshound Netta from Quiet inQuarff (but not for long I'll bet!)
Is this a face we should recognise? Weren't you once attached to someone called Shari Lewis? And wasn't your name Lamb Chop? What went wrong? Bet you thought if you went somewhere where there's no television you wouldn't be spotted. But now your secret.s out.

I'm a quiet Border's lamb - never been on TV in my life - unless you count the CCTV unit in the byre. I think you're baaarmy Capt Sally Army.
Mad Lamb from Westray
I believe the extensive reconstructive surgery in lamb chops flight may have lead to the breakdown. Will Mad Lamb be the next plastic vulnerable loon on Celebrity Big Bruvva? I thought Jackie was bad last year but how long before Pete Burns cracks up again. It's a toss up who is going to be wearing the lovely white back to front jacket first between him and Barrymore!

You asked about the health of the comedy scene on Arran. Just drop in to any party on Arran and you will be crying laughing in no time. The house prices are a joke and the council tax to services ratio is hysterical. As for whom ever sets the criteria for planning, they will split your sides and the local plan is a work of comedy genius. The tendering process for the high school was an award winning farce. I tried to apply for a council house and the lady who took my application nearly wet herself with mirth. Oh yes comedy is alive and well on Arran. Having said that Billy Connely played the Brodick Hall last April and we have an abundance of different productions and pretty much everyone has to have a good sense of humour.

Looking at anything passing my way.
