Up The Sound Withoot A Paddle!

Or a boat, seemingly...frae next Wednesday, Orkney ferries are on strike until Friday, wi` nae boats tae the Outer North Isles. That`s us lot folks.
Noo, I hae some ideas aboot what tae dae if ye are desperate tae get offisle and intae toon....
we could kidnap ony fishing boats we come across. One o` the drawbacks o` that is, I hae nae idea aboot steering one so if onybody in the Sooth Isles, Spain or even France see a wee fishing boat wi` some seasick and thirsty passengers on it, please stop us and gie aid.
Or we could work on building a bridge, that might keep some isles builders and blacksmiths in work for some guidly amount o` time. Designs on postcards please. No` tae me though!
Or we could apply tae hae mair planes put on, for the peedie one we hae the noo just will no` dae if, say, mair than twelve islanders need tae get off Sanday!
So mebbe some three or four new wee planes would be guid, eh?

Of course, in the event that naebody thinks tae actually DAE ony o` the above, here are some mair tips....
stockpile supplies, for wha kens when we`ll see fresh milk and breid next week.
Get in a guid store o` dvd`s tae watch.
Ask the pubs if they hae in enough of the liquid refreshments tae cheer up the stranded.
Pretend it`s no wet and cauld Sanday, but a desert island we will be stranded on, wear grass skirts, play auld LP`s and find some coconuts tae tap oot a tune wi......

What about kidnapping the fishing boat complete with fisherman? And...if you could post a photo of a hunky male in a grass skirt and frillies, that would give AnnieB's kilted bodachs a run for their money!

Hula-la! FC's spot on with the comment (and not for the first time). A few hollowed out logs and it could be like Hawaii Five-0 round Sanday.

In the days when the Hyperboreans first migrated to Orkney from an island further south, there were no ro-ro ferries and the wee planes worked a lot harder. In fact they ran 2 aircraft at the same time and did twice as many trips to the Isles and they also managed to fit in 3 round trips to Wick. They still have a spare aircraft and for short times they have enough pilots to run shuttle services in lieu of the current timetable. All it needs is for our "wonderful" cooncilors to extract the digit and make a sensible decision for once.

Hyper-B., it is not clear to me which digit you want your stone age council folks to axe ...

I can't understand it. We're not visiting you this week so why are they on strike? I thought they only stopped the ferries when we were trying to reach ye? I thought we were special....
