Amarone in George Street was the venue for my niece's graduation dinner. I wasn't overly impressed, then again I never really expected to be if I'm honest. Lows were; Nine out of the ten mains being served together, the tenth person was told "we haven't forgot you,it's just not ready yet" It...
18 months since Pet Peeves III. The fitba' season's over so here's PP-IV prescribed as a wee bit therapy for us moaners until the new season starts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hate when temporary roadwork signs are left up when they are not...
Feels like there's one every week, so thought it might be an idea to have the one thread 🤔 This week it's David Crosby. Eight miles high now.

I've gone a wee while without listening to much in the way of new music, but there's been a spate of album releases I've wanted to check out lately for one reason or another and I've been pleasantly surprised. Babel - Mumford and Sons: Develops their sound from Sigh No More and really cements...
Forgive me folks but I’m having a bad day with this electric car and needed to vent. Also want to know if anyone else feels the same or if I’m just being miserable. I first bought an electric car 3 years ago through my work. It was a good deal and I liked the idea of no longer having to fill up...

At the request of Alfiembra, here's the Driving Pet Peeve thread for frustrated motorists. So, to kick it off....... When you are just about to get into your car in a car park some Dumbo decides to draw in tight alongside your driver's door despite there being empty spaces everywhere around....

Anyone tried one, i'm thinking of changing my unit in my car, had a look at a few online but would like to know if anyone had bit the bullit and gone for one? Looking at something like this, but not especially this one if you know what i mean. ...
Anyone listening to anything good or got any recommendations. Do prefer football based listening but willing to branch out. Have listened to a couple SAF ones, Martin O’Neill self narrated audiobook was great as I find him quite knowledgable and easy to listen to. Have also listened to Kevin...

I don’t see a film thread on the front page. Seeing as I’ve been watching more this last wee while, thought I’d start a thread for sharing recent watches, whether the films are new releases, old classics and everything in between. I’ll kick off with ‘A star is born’ which I watched on Amazon...
This is a game I got from another forum. I start by saying something say:What is life And then the next poster makes an acroynym out of last word of my sentence in response say:Life is for elephants (but hopefully better:greengrin)
After a walk on the beach on a particularly cold day I returned to have a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup which is my favourite and got me wondering have you got a favourite soup too ? .

Anyone had a very painful ingrown toenail that has needed treated or at worse removed entirely ? Ive had bother for years with my big toe on my right foot and tended to just dig away at it to give me some relief. It flared up during covid period and even though I had been reluctant to get it...
Anyone else have these problems? My old man is from the old brigade who thinks pull yourself together is the answer. Never used to be like this and time in the army hasn't helped. However, I'm not afraid to admit things and feel no stigma in being affected by this. Just wondering if other...
It’s almost an unspoken thing amongst us men and women, but I’m guessing that at some point in time we’re all struggling to lose weight. I started my diet this week after weighing myself. I was 17st and I’m only 5ft8. Shocking stuff, but I’m sure that we can inspire each other to better things.
Any recommendations on WiFi boosters? We have Virgin broadband which we can't pick up in a couple of rooms in the house.
Bit of a longshot… My son turns 18 in August this year and he’s looking to have a party. You could argue venues are quite sensible in their approach but we’re having a nightmare trying to get a venue that would host an 18th birthday party! With it being during the festival we appreciate it’ll...
Hi folks looking for restaurant or pub suggestions here, Meeting up with my sister and her husband in Edinburgh on a weekday lunchtime into early evening.They are big zimmerspoon fans because my brother-in-law only drinks draft ale, and would want to eat there also. my response being, it's a rare...
I thought there was a similar thread but can't find it. Anyway found a good thread online with many, some of them I'll start with one: Johnny Cash was the first, if not one of the first, American to know that Stalin died Chevy Chase played drums in a band that became Steely Dan. Sometimes...
Looking for a wee bit of advice. I was interviewed last week and gave a figure I thought was my salary when asked what I currently earn On a call today confirming they would be offering me the position they stated my salary would be exactly the amount I'd originally stated. Turns out I...
I’m on holiday in turkey and there’s a guy that goes around in roller skates taking orders for drinks and handing out ice lollies. I could easygo and order this myself, but it makes me happy when the guy comes round in his roller skates. What are the little things in life that make you happy.
https://youtu.be/v6Ytde6tmkQ Hugely unsuccessful band but massively influential. I hear shoe-gaze, grunge, slocore and there's probably a few more micro genres in there too. Great to learn to play to. Sent from my SM-A528B using Tapatalk
I know this is a "how long is a piece of string" type question but how much money is a session and generally speaking how many sessions do you need? And does anyone have any recommendations? Went to the docs back in Feb about a pain in the right side of the hip when I walk. If I walk 1-2 miles...
Can any recommend any gardeners in the east side of Edinburgh? Basic maintenance and potentially relaying turf (unsure of real or astro at this point). Thanks
I saw a thread like this on Twitter and thought it would be interesting to sort of recreate here. The original descended into a load of people just naming crap towns but that's too easy, anyone can visit Stoke and say it's rubbish. So what is the place, attraction etc you have visited that you...
I've been missing Edinburgh haggis suppers and I was made up when I actually found a chip shop near me in York which sells it. I bought a supper (not called that here) and it was ok, but it sorely missed chippy sauce which isn't available here. I know it's a combination of vinegar and brown...
Our neighbourhood gets plagued by nesting gulls each year. Noisy and aggressive. Anyone got any (humane) recommendations for keeping them away from our roof? I see fake hawks etc advertised but am sceptical about effective they are.
Currently on the train from Manchester and listening to the James - Be Opened By The Wonderful which is their orchestral album. I'll no doubt drift off to sleep at some point but it's a cracking album. What's your favourite easy listening album for such journeys?
On the back of the thread asking for advice when it came to getting a driving instructor - where do you start when you want to buy a car but know nothing about them?! I’ll be more than likely getting one on a lease as I can’t afford one out right. It’ll no doubt be a second hand car and an...
Sorry for the random post, was just wondering if anyone had had an experience of signing someone out of hospital / rehab? Back ground - My mother had Parkinson’s and onset vascular dementia, was admitted to hospital with a chest infection 8 days ago. she has now been transferred to a...
I'm in middle of making a pot of stovies. Getting them ready to take to pub on Saturday for Scotland England game. I'm going to let the English into the delights of this fantastic dish. Got me thinking, how do you think stovies would go down at Easter Road. I personally would rather have a bowl...
A question I thought I’d never ask but if anyone had any driving instructor recommendations I’d gladly take them. Never driven before. Go easy on me! Also appreciate cause of lock down there’s a massive backlog. Still. Can try!
