Thats it, The Office and My Name Is Earl are finished till winter

What am i gonna watch!!!

spinner ur life is over m8 go and watch eastenders and lose the will to live

Or you could enjoy the warmer weather

I live in Shetland m8, so the warm weather thing is out! (though its scorching today, in checking the forums with a pint of water and ice!!)



And you're right, i would certainly take my own life before watching Eastenders!!!!!!

hehe...well i guess big brother starts next week (if you like it!!) haha

Lemmie put it this way, do you think a fan of Earl and The Office is gonna like it?

Earl is finished??? Aw crap. And I've bin basing my life on Randy's tips too (like drinking beer while you're standing on your head so that it goes straight for the brain and doesn't damage your liver).

Invasion is still on tho. That might freak u out a bit living on a small island tho lol

Big brother...shetland...you aint that cameron bloke r u?

always buy the mighty boosh boxset, or watch the green wing...

martin cameron came from orkney and spinner m8 i live in shetland too pmsl where bouts u live

You Live in the Shetlands??
you lucky begger Ok you mite get real cold weather and it may be lifeless regarding social life.....but i will swap where you live and where i live at a drop of a hat.

Lifeless regarding social life? Shows you aint been here m8!

(I wont go into the Orkney/Shetland mixup just now )

Earl is only finished in the US, so if you're watching on C4 there are another 4 episodes to go.. (I'm not that patient tho)

Paul, i'm in Firth m8, but a Cullivoe native (you might have seen me on BBC2 tonight)

ah rite sound m8 i live in sumburgh but moving away in 3 weeks

Somewhere warmer i guess?

Then again, being born and bred here i coulnt handle much heat, anything over 10 degrees and i'm cooking...

Suppose it should be another thread but anyone else here been following the Office (US)?

Cant wait to see if Brent makes an appearance in the next series!!

A typical mainlands view of shetland islands

Still.............i bet its good for flying a kite then


Still cant see the problem regarding TV tho

bird watching's pretty good up there tho eh?

Sure is! Especially on a friday night

But yeah, it never ceases to amuse (some of) us locals at all the tourists pointing and taking photo's!


And the problem with TV is that after 24 weeks of shows of that caliber, nothing can come close!

Never mind, its RAW night

Sorry about the orkney mix-up spinner.

To me, you all live in the furthest, bleakest outposts of humanity - and I sort of lump you in together.

Do Orkney and Shetland ppl hate each other then? Is it like that castaway tv show, where you raid each other's beaches in your rowing boats?

And, on the subject, of bleak outposts of humanity, I'm reading Fergus Fleming's 90 Degrees North at the moment, all about early attempts to make it through the ice and reach the North Pole. Can you see the North Pole from your bedroom window? Can you?



PS I'm sure it's better than the craphole town I live in mind, and you probably have far less chance of getting shot by yardies and east european gangsters.

LOL yeah we're relatively violence free here...

And we pilliaged Orkney as Vikings decades ago so there's no hard feelings anymore. well, not many anyways!

I'm liking the impressionist show "dead ringers" it really is funny and they take off the people well.

Monday , 9:00pm , it beats "new tricks" put it that way!
