Does anyone play the Spelling Bee that is offered after you've completed Wordle? It only gives you a few guesses for free, but I paid the £12 for the year's subscription to NYT games and I'm really enjoying it, especially the Spelling Bee. I usually get enough words to get to the Amazing...
Seems Leith makes the worlds cool top 40 every year. This year Leith is in at number 16. There's lots more cool places than those (regularly) mentioned in the article and there's a few places I'd say that are honorary Leith despite being outside the boundary. The 40 coolest neighbourhoods in...
Just been reading on 'Lost Edinburgh' Facebook page regarding graffiti around Edinburgh over the years, people were going on about one particular in the 90's 'McCabe Grass' around Sighthill area I do remember it but does anyone know the story behind it? People think its something to do with a...
Been ignoring texts/calls about this for years but eventually answered the phone to someone pushing me to arrange an appointment to replace our gas and electricity meters. Is this in any way compulsory if your current meters are functioning perfectly well? I tend to hear only criticisms of smart...
Anyone have an idea of when easyJet will be releasing flights for next autumn? I thought they would have been out by now. I'm just impatient
I'm thinking about getting the Cube Kathmandu Pro 750 for my 40 mile commute to and back from work and wanted to hear if anyone has had any experience with pedalecs?
For those of us who are aff it for whatever reason, thought it might be good to have a thread for AF free alternatives. Got a few bottles of Free Star lager from Home Bargains, incredibly just 39p a bottle. Got plenty of flavour and body to it, will be getting more.
Has anyone got a good recipe for this meaty delight? I've always enjoyed it, but I was in Cologne a while ago and I had it in a Brauhaus and it was spectacularly delicious so I'd like to recreate it if possible. Any recipes?
It’s gone into administration. I’ve always gone there regularly and really bad news for the 100+ ex employees but also if you like independent cinema. I hope my favourite The Cameo can hang on but the future looks bleak for the whole business model.
Wondering if anyone is able to share their monthly costs for factoring in a flat? I'm in a block in centralish Edinburgh with a lift, and our monthly cost has just gone up to £200. Yes a month. This includes building insurance which is really high (factor says due to large number of claims...
You favourite juice (aka ginger) from your childhood and the decade? Any long gone manufacturers (e.g. globe) you recall? Me? American Cream Soda. 1970s. Solripe.
Something going on. Got planes flying over my house which never happens, noticed on flight radar it was the same two 4 times ( so far), a quick look further south and there's 4 or 5 aircraft circling in a holding pattern.... anyone 'in the know' (Dot net hive mind always a good shout!) ...
Been sat here since about 1300, brilliant, mellow atmosphere, great way to pass the day until pub time for the Scotland game. 🍺😄🍺
Anyone have memories of swimming in this legendary pool ? As kids we used it every weekend where we would traipse from Leith to this vastly impressive outdoor swimming arena I think at the time it was 5p to enter and 2p for your locker in which you had your key in a rubber wrist band, we would...
I've sang in a couple of bands but never got to name them. I always liked the sound of "Platonic Gangbang". What would you name your band?
I know that Amazon is the blood sucking plaything of the devil incarnate, but I have just had a highly positive experience. I ordered replacement light bulbs, fitting E27, but I forgot to specify warm white rather than daylight. I tried one but it was way too white, almost clinical so I...
I don't know if anyone on here is familiar with the 'Wee Hub' which currently occupies the old Debenhams store at Ocean Terminal. It's a social enterprise which has become home over the last 18 months to community groups ranging from art, dance, drama, circus skills, music, crafts, kids football...
My missus was at the car showrooms at newbridge and a couple of little darlings started throwing stones off the top deck of one of the country buses. She got the driver to pull over and got the details. The youtz did a runner. Anyone know if Lothian buses are libel for the damage?
Granted, this is a bit sad/naff, but it's mostly harmless! We're in the habit of saying "Alexa - hello" or "good morning" most days just to hear hear replies. However, asking "Alexa, how are you?" every day can elicit some amusing exchanges. Are there other daft ways to chat to her while...
Anyone know if they accept a driving licence instead of a passport if you fly Ryanair to Belfast from Edinburgh. Thanks.
I'll start with: Coke and Irn Bru taste better out of a glass bottle. People are more polite to each other when the weather is nice.
Has anyone read any good books recently
Bit of respite from our miserable league campaign on BBC2 tonight at 7:45 (also available on BBC Sounds). Nearly two hours of some legendary Northern sides including the classic "Three before Eight" played at the end of the all-nighters at Wigan Casino. Apart from the aforementioned Tobi...
Mine would be the Blindboy Podcast and Bill Douglas's films....and Lankum, Death Grips and Meshuggah...also, Desi Pakwan at the bottom of Leith Walk. And Comte cheese. Would like to recommend to anyone who cares the album 'Carry Them With Us' by Brighde Chaimbeul. It's an album of Scottish...
Eldest just came in from school complaining that he hadn't eaten as I'd not topped up his card. I remembered and forgot to do it on Monday and today🫣 Needless to say, he is not amused😂
Following on from the Beautiful Tracks thread, I thought of a few classical pieces that would fit the bill, but that thread went in a different direction, and anyway classical music is such a broad category I think it deserves a thread of its own. So, if you have a favourite classical tune or...
I've just relisted 2 tickets for tonight's gig on Ticketmaster. We were coming up for it, but Mrs Radge has taken ill so we have to miss out. 😞 It's sold out so I thought I'd advertise the fact that there are 2 tickets available now.
1. Has anybody got one or any expertise on them? I'm looking to get one (instead of binoculars) for general use, looking at the moon and once I've seen that mostly for taking on (cruise) holidays. Ideally the one I get will be around £100 and weigh around 1 kilo, 1.5 max. I'm also a bit...
Is there anything going on at the Fringe with alright music that a bunch of late 40s/early 50s boys could go to for a groove without being out of place?
Posted this on here for myself ages ago and got the name of a driving instructor so I thought I’d try again as the requirements are different Looking for a driving instructor teaching in a manual car. New driver is 17 and based on the Blackford area of Edinburgh I appreciate there’s a bit...
I’ll start with coffins. They charge thousands for something that you either burn or put in the ground. What a rip off, when I kick the bucket I don’t even want a funeral. Just dispose of my body and have a party to celebrate my life.
Is there any plumbers amongst the great and good on hibs.net? In my wisdom I tried to change my bar shower over and I’ve made a complete arse of it. I’ve managed to distort the copper pipe that connects to the shower so the water is leaking when the valve is connected up. I’d really appreciate any...
Anyone had a new kitchen fitted recently? Looking for recommendations of companies to use and best place to buy a new kitchen from. Thanks.
This thread is regarding this post here https://www.hibs.net/showthread.php?362011-Anti-vaccine-conspiracy-theorists-outside-ER&p=7329218&viewfull=1#post7329218 and the anti-vaccination conspiracy theorists that were outside Easter Road before the derby. As a member of both a Conspiracy...
Any recomendations for decent places to stay in the City? Places i used to stay in a couple of years ago for match visits (and average at best) used to cost me £60 or £70 are now asking £200 plus.
When I look at old pics of male relatives on both sides of my family and see the number of bald heads on show I realise I was fortunate to inherit whatever gene my dad possesses which has enabled me to hold on to my hair well into middle age. Some thinning starting to creep in now but I can live...
I'm on a pub crawl tomorrow (via tram) and we're thinking of a bit of kareoke chucked in. Had a look online but can't see what pubs have it on, Leith and city centre, if anyone knows of any? Not looking for the actual places where you book a room, but just somewhere we can dive into for a bit.
Anybody having problems with this recently? I'm finding it almost impossible to get connected these days.
It's a non alcoholic beer but it gets great reviews and it's quite expensive. I'd like to hear any first hand experiences.
Maybe one for the older generation. Tina Turner dying has given me a flashback to the early 80's where there were still jukeboxes in most bars. After having a few I would play "Nutbush City Limits" over and over again until it really started to get on people's mammaries. The intention wasn't to get...
