It's a stag night Trinoc, stag parties and henny parties always dress up, they hire a bus and try to visit every licenced premises in the Isles, starting at 13.00 and usually lasting till around 4.00am.

It takes maybe half a minute to change from the map to the actual photo.

Didn't you know? They have parties there 24/7*.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

OK so they had a party on 24th July! Is that a one off, or do they do it every year?

So 24th July is the only day Shetland isn't under ten feet of snow?


Sounds credible to me, anyway
