daytripping Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wait till it is a scorcher of a day, will get my mates dads boat and set sail and do a Moray Firth tour, Beer in the cooling box, cast the fishing rods for a fresh catch, and watch the dolphins. AFC Chat official summer tour. I'd be well up for that, spot of boat fishing on a nice day is one of lifes pleasures, not been out in years. Even if it involved going with a load of weird strangers off the hat it would be cool. Pity we didn't know of any local boat festivals or anyone who has anything to do with organising one, that would also be a fantastic day out, it's something this area sadly lacks. Link to comment

Henry Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 ORKNEY residents have the highest standard of living in rural Scotland, according to a new report. In a list dominated by English locations, Orkney at number 21 is just one of two Scottish regions, along with Aberdeenshire at number 49. Halifax’s annual Rural Areas Quality of Life Survey takes into account residents’ health and life expectancy, crime rates, weather, employment, school results, broadband access and personal wellbeing. http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/orkney-named-as-scotland-s-best-place-to-live-1-3732817 Edit: Link to comment
zander Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Congratulations to you and your fellow islanders Harcus that must be a few year on the bounce now?Other islands and Aberdeenshire have to be asking themselves what they need to do to stop Orkney getting 10 in a row. Link to comment
dave_min Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 We welcome the chase Would you like to live in Orkney? Link to comment
Henry Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 You ask anyone in Scotland 'would you like to live in Orkney'...they would answer no. Statistically unlikely. Link to comment
Henry Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Would you like to live in Orkney? Yes Dave. Link to comment
Redforever86 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Area size of the winner Rutland: 382km sq. Area size of Aberdeenshire: 6,313km sq. I'm sure there is a lot more than one pocket of Aberdeenshire of around 12 miles by 12 miles that would make it into the top 10. Orkney can't even grow trees for fuck sakes. Best quality of life in Scotland and you can't build a treehouse or play on a rope swing. Wise up. Link to comment
looksgoodinred Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Orkney looks beautiful. Rugged terrain. The sea. Unless you're a lumberjack or builder, I can't imagine trees add anything to your standard of living? Link to comment
The Boofon Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Orkney looks beautiful. Rugged terrain. The sea. Unless you're a lumberjack or builder, I can't imagine trees add anything to your standard of living? Well they give us oxygen and take in CO2. That's a nice start. Not your most educated post.

Not your most educated post. the article said "standard of living" not "quality of life". and as far as quality of life goes, it's not like Orkney has a large plastic bubble over it preventing it from receiving the benefits of trees in other parts of the world from reaching it. and for the record, i've never claimed to be particularly smart. 2 Link to comment

I never claimed you weren't. Your standard of living would be shite with no oxygen. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I think we get most of our oxygen from phytoplankton. The trees get way too much credit for the whole oxygen production thing. Fuck the trees. 'Mon the Phytoplankton. Link to comment
looksgoodinred Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I never claimed you weren't. Your standard of living would be shite with no oxygen. i hold this same view on the definition of "standard of living" vs. "quality of life": Quality of life (QOL) is the general well-being of individuals and societies. QOL has a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, politics and employment. Quality of life should not be confused with the concept of standard of living, which is based primarily on income. So in this instance, my standard of living would remain much the same. My quality of life might suffer. If Orkney were encapsulated in an air-tight bubble. i still think Orkney is a beautiful place. Link to comment
rumpus Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well done pretty lady, keep up the impressive work. Yet again you've shot down a poster effortlessly and politely. Not long ago you easily made an arse of Tup due to his horrendous lack of geographical knowledge. Now you've shown up the long haired lout for his lack of knowledge of oxygen. You'd think he'd know better, there probably wasn't a tree in his cupboard. Link to comment
Redforever86 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 the article said "standard of living" not "quality of life". standard of living, which is based primarily on income. I don't think in this instance it is. NB. I really really don't give a fuck. Link to comment
