True - the trust has run out of money to do the development they wanted to do, so now they want someone to come along with a mountain of money to do the work for them so they can carry on with their ego-driven scheme. Anyone who has ever been to the Shetlands will tell you that they are not the most hospitable place to live, or set up a retreat centre (which from the scant information on-line looks more like a rather down market, but flashy, hotel than a place to host "retreats"). If I was in the financial position to spend 12 million on doing up a place like that I would want control over its future use, and not trust a group who have already blown a shed load of money on some very basic repairs with its continued use and development within the community.

Will they give it a 3rd go? Dramatic footage has shown the moment an incomplete bridge collapsed for the second time in a year, once again raising questions about its safety. Dramatic footage shows the moment a four-lane bridge collapsed mid-construction for the second time in just over a year, once again raising questions about its safety. |

The dangers of the gym exposed. A woman working out on a gym treadmill has her pants ripped off after they got stuck in the machine. Should I mention that she tripped over her own shoelaces? Cheers. |

When are these guys going to get a summer uniform to stop this happening when the heat is on? Multiple members of the King’s Guard collapsed in front of Prince William in sweltering conditions, yet the show kept going around them. Dramatic scenes unfolded at the King’s Birthday parade rehearsals in London on Saturday, with at least three guards collapsing due to the city’s intense heat.Or is it just some form of royal torture? |

Do you like dinosaurs? This piece is a bit lacking as there are several sites throughout central Queensland and into the Northern Territory where they're being found these days. Only 5 feet down under, a dinosaur graveyard turned up in Australia. It's sparking a paleontological revolution in the country. Cheers. |

LA couple found 1 million copper pennies in the crawlspace of an old family home. Now comes the hard part: Figuring out what to do with them. They were cleaning out his father-in-law's home in Pico-Union, Los Angeles, last year when they chanced upon crates, boxes, and old bank bags full of pennies in a tight corner of a basement crawl space, KTLA first reported. Based on the weight of the discoveries, they estimated that they'd found at least one million coins, or around $10,000 in cold hard copper. Since they are 100% copper, they might be worth more by their weight than their face value. |
