Came out the supermarket last week to discover the back of our car scraped. No acknowledgement from the guilty party so either going to have to get it attended to ourselves or claim it on insurance. It's pretty minor paint scrapes so not sure if it's worth an insurance claim. Any recommendations? I...
played Gunther in Friends, shame ;( James Michael Tyler: Friends' actor dies aged 59 - BBC News US actor James Michael Tyler, who most famously starred as Gunther in the TV sitcom Friends, has died aged 59.
With many people having more time on their hands atm what books are people reading? Phil Rickman is an author I like. Just finishing his book Friends of the dusk. He writes supernatural mystery which may not be everyone's cup of tea but he creates fascinating storylines that flow nicely and builds...
Anyone been to Copenhagen recently? Heading there with a group of mates soon for a weekend, staying pretty central close to the station I think. Any tips on places to eat and ( mainly) drink would be much appreciated!
Always seems to kick in at this time on a Sunday night. I’ve got a big week ahead of me at work and stuff I need to start sorting now. Just can’t get going making The Fear worse
What’s the craic with the Hydro in relation to mid week gigs? Taking my youngest daughter to see Billie Eilish in June. I’ve looked at trains as I don’t drive but I think there’s a a train at 10.29 meaning we’d end up missing part of the show. Heading back to Edinburgh after. I’ve priced...
Waterproof watches. Admin if this is in the wrong place please delete and merge but it's not a peeve as such. Unless you have a need to see the time for whatever reason whilst submerged, why is for example "waterproof to 50 metres" even a selling point? A friend showed me his nice new watch...

They seem to be a great idea but do they really work? Bluetooth has quite a very limited range. Some sellers say that you go on to the "community" to see if someone can track the device. Is that a community for all Bluetooth Trackers or is it a community for each company that's selling...
Following the death of SC, I want to ask the Hibee community their opinion. Mines is Brosnan, but that was probably generational - that and Tomorrow Never Dies is IMO the best Bond film.
Brilliant pairing with George Cole on Minder. RIP
CAMRA pub of the year for Lothians yet again. Gonna need a new wall for all their certificates! To keep it going for so long at such a high standard is pretty impressive. First port of call when I come home next month.
Very random but if anyone knows of any ice cream van drivers I can get in touch with about them coming to my work…I’d be very grateful
How bloody dear are these to buy online ?! Add in slabs , Someone building it and you are looking at the fat end of £900 for a 4x6 shed WTF !! Anyone bought a decent sizes shed for a fairly reasonable price and where from ?
I’ve been trying to hire a car for 4 days over the school holidays, pick-up and drop off in North Edinburgh but I’m being quoted £1600 for 4 days, seems absolutely insane. If I pick up in Newcastle and drop off in Edinburgh it’s £400, which makes no sense to me. Tried a few places and struggling...
Took the bus from Corstorphine today to Shandwick Place then walked full length of Princes Street into the St James and then to the foot of the walk. The first time I have been along Princes Street in a couple of years, what a shambles it is. Never realised there were so many empty shops and what...
Aaron Ramsey kills again. Rip Dot

Following on from the garden shed thread. I ordered a greenhouse in June 2021. Was delivered and erected in March 2022! I had done the base etc and I am delighted with my purchase. If you have an old greenhouse not being used it may be a good time to advertise it. The delays for new ones are...

Strange request but I’m trying to source some Pepto Bismol, it appears to be no longer available in the U.K. & possibly Europe. It is available in America so I’m wondering if any of my fellow American Hibees can help out or anyone going on a trip to America can help out. Hope this isn’t an...

Whats your favourite? Enjoying one of my faves a fine bottle of Barolo, a birthday present this week. Favourite white NZ Sauvignon blanc.
Needing some recommendations because during my recent covid isolation, I've completed Netflix's back catalogue. Really enjoyed Mo Gilligan's most recent special, Jimmy Carr, Jim Jeffries (unfortunate name for the big guy) and Frankie Boyle are my usual sort of thing... Please help if you've any...
Thats mental!? I remember first getting the book from a discount book place beside M&S Princes St in 1994. Never re read a book to many times or recommended it to say many people. When it was announced they were making a film & using the guy who was in Shallow Grave I wasnt that enthused...
Perhaps not a household name, but the frontman of punk band the Members: https://www.nme.com/news/music/nicky-tesco-of-uk-punks-the-members-has-died-aged-66-3171273 I never tire of listening to 'Sound of the Suburbs' even all these years later. One of the greatest singles of that, or indeed...
I ordered oven cleaner from amazon. When it arrived , my wife put the unopened box on the couch and went to work. When i came in, i noticed the the bottom of the box was soaking. The oven cleaner was leaking and it has basically ruined my leather couch. Its taken the top layer of leather off...

So there's me, the girlfriend and her 6 year old and we fancya week away in the summer, but this would be the first family holiday for me and I'm looking to try and get a bit of advice on places/hotels that offer good entertainment for the bairn but also somewhere we can unwind also. Just some...
Love my wife to bits, she’s a great wife and mother. Her family however, I just don’t respect them after incident upon incident surrounding her older sister. She is from Ireland and my wife was over for her younger sister’s hen at the weekend and it was a disaster. Another significant incident...
RIP Mark Lanegan. Sad loss - another lead singer from grunge in the 90's gone.
Seems it’s harder than ever right now. I have plenty time on my hands to sort out and job hunt (probably looking to go late this year) but the impression I’m getting is employers aren’t really doing sponsorship for visas just now? Any experts on here any tips or opinions on whether that is the...
So I'm a member at PureGym at Fort Kinnaird, and it's always stupidly busy and it's mega frustrating. Someone was telling me it's currently the 4th busiest PureGym in the UK! Which is mental when you consider London, Manchester etc.. I've been having a look online at other gyms within a...
We're all men of the 21st century :greengrin Whats your fave aftershave then. Paco Rabanne Invictus currently my flavour of the month. Red Rush YSL not bad either. Hibs defeat my least favourite. Must be some Brut fans on this site :greengrin
Pretty disappointing today. Operation recovery, Fine glass or two of red, Stones documentary on the box, marinated chicken wings and associated sides, pretty chill. What you up to? Coping?
Music has always been a huge part of my life but there’s only ever been 1 moment in my life when I just stood back and thought wow. For me it was at the Calton Studios in the mid 90s, it was a pretty normal club night and I was there as I was was most weeks and a band called Force Mass Motion came...
Was tempted to put this in the pet peeves thread or the you know your getting old when thread as I’m essentially moaning about the lost art of the music video. I miss the days when a bit of thought or humour was put into a music video. What’s everyone’s favourite music video? A few of mine are:...
Among the ‘favourite’ type threads on this forum, I don’t recollect seeing an ‘outstanding book’ one (apologies if there is one). I’m not an avid reader but enjoy a really good book. Somebody gave me a copy of ‘I Am Pilgrim’ by Terry Hayes for Christmas and I can’t put it down.
No, not a new player but my Xmas pressie. I suffer quite badly from the cold and last night was the first time I got to try out the vest and I have to say it’s a game changer! No more wearing layers of clothing for me so now watching the footy I’m just bored instead of freezing and bored lol ...
