[MR] BBC: Up Helly Aa Boat Burning

[. .]

You are not the last one not on Facebook. Many, many people have deleted their profiles and many more just don't use them.  There are simply a lot of very vocal individuals who apparently longed for the return of the days of AOL and found it in Facebook - forgetting the rest of the world wide web and of things such as email.  😊



Sincerely,

Lady Isabella D'Angelo

Noble Friends,

Well, they burned the boat. The BBC story has been updated with a couple of
photos showing the boat and guizers with their torches:

Join Shetland's spectacular celebration of Viking heritage with the burning of a replica long ship.




There is also a link to a 360-degree Facebook item on the boat burning. I
can't comment further on this since I seem to be one of the last people
left in the world who is not on Facebook.

Yours Aye,

Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge  ???????
