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...
I’ve had the same pals for many many years. We don’t see each other as much these days which is fine and to be expected but we’ll all get together for a beer and a catch up every now and then…….However not all of them turn up or want to meet up anymore. I find it really strange that as soon as...
Spotted a couple of Moncrieff Builders & Roofing vans out and about the other day (no surprise given the damage caused by the storms). Green and white branding and a Hibs badge on the back doors. Interesting that they're so open about their allegiance as you'd imagine it might put some yams off...
****ing double glazing but still couldn't sleep, up at 0400 and took dug for a walk, he looked at me and gave me the get to **** eyes. Thankfully my high fencing is still intact but not so good for my wee Sister as when walking the dog past her rear garden I noticed her 20 ft long and 10 ft high...

I own an EcoSport less than five years old whose broken timing belt caused such damage that I need a brand new engine for the car. Does this seem normal ? The Ford dealer wants £7000 plus for the new one. I'm shocked that a car with 49000 miles needs it. Any views on this would be very...
An American wine connoisseur made the mistake of reviewing buckfast… Here’s their tasting notes: Buckfast Tonic Wine (No Vintage) Screw cap, took it off about 30 minutes before to bring in some air. Apparently made by monks in England. Decided to try while cooking dinner. Poured into a glass,...
Does anyone have particular go to channel on youtube ? I think due to length of time I have been off work youtube seems to be one of my first port of calls For football chat I enjoy the Longbangers podcasts, for crime sort of stuff I enjoy a lot of Shaun Attwoods podcasts I also watch a lot...
Flights booked back to Edinburgh for the Dundee game in February. It's the first time back since Covid and I'm coming over with a German pal and our 2 sons. I'm looking forward to fish and chips from Scouse Hibee's chippy but was hoping for a few tips on where else to eat in the city. Grateful for...
Has anyone used any decent rodent control companies and costs involved? Just back from holiday and two traps up the loft had gone off but not trapped anything. Bizarrely, one had loft insulation in it and the other had snapped on to a bottom edge of a shelving unit. This makes me think that the...
What’s your favourite album, film and TV show of the year? Album - The Coral, Sea of Mirrors (and the companion album Holy Joe) Film - Oppenheimer. Albeit I’ve yet to see Scorsese’s KOTFM TV - The Bear season 2. Just incredible from start to finish. The Fishes and Forks episodes being...
What are the old fashioned orange juicers called? The ones that looked like a glass dish with a mound in the middle. You would cut the orange in half and twist it on the mound in the middle of the dish and the juice would be collected. Can someone help save me from divorce and tell me what they...
My daughter lost her phone recently, mine ceased to work and my PC folded. Luckily I was able to recover 1,000s of my photos but it highlighted the need for a secure place to keep those treasured snaps and videos. Has anyone used a specialised photo memory stick? I've copied below the blurb from...
Came across this and couldn't believe people actually eat this , rather them than me 😁. https://youtu.be/vZ_-JzM-YQg
I was asking questions about Tirana on the thread started by andyf5 and thought that it might be a good idea for a travel thread. I did do a thread search in case there was one already but I never saw anything (might have missed it). So Tirana, best to take Euros or Leks or mixture?
Trying to prove to someone that there was once a star on top of the flats possibly in the kitkgate? I used to stay at the bottom of Easter Road and I remember I could see it from my old bedroom. I think they used to light up at Christmas but I might be making it up. Like this whole thing! If...
Pretty sure I’ve seen a thread on here about this before but can’t find it. I’ve just downloaded the app and bought 2 surprise bags, 1 from Greggs for £2.60 and 1 from Aldi for £3.30. Has anyone used it before?
Considering buying a treadmill. Anyone got any advice around running belt width or know anywhere that might be selling treadmills 2nd hand? I know sometimes gyms sell off older equipment. Seems an average price is around £400.

Done a stupid thing recently and scraped my car off a wall - damaged the bodywork and a few scrapes on the alloys (never drive tired). Anyone know any good (but reasonable) bodywork specialists in Edinburgh???
Can anyone recommend or even know of a company that will retrofit campers for things like WiFi or heated seats? I cannot find anything in the central belt, I must be missing something! Thanks
There's been a couple of threads like this before but you can't beat a good discussion about beer. Currently a huge fan of: William Bros Seven Giraffes Timothy Taylor Landlord Brewdog JackHammer Cairngorm Trade Winds Stewart Pentland IPA Fallen Smokehouse Porter
Bit of advice guys. Recently had some walls in the house plastered and now looking to paint them. Should I use a mix of PVA glue and water as an under coat or use watered down matt paint. Thanks.
After 40 odd years of wet shaving my face and chin skin have decided to become a little less supple! So I want to try out an electric razor. I've got a pretty feeble growth, I shave twice a week, every other day on holiday (as if anyone would notice 😆). There's no fancy bits to trim or edge. ...
That’s The Beatles just released their much hyped new single, Now and Then. I didn’t particularly like Free as a Bird or Real Love but this one is a proper Beatles song, I love it.
Hi fowks Unsure if this is correct forum so please move if so. I am looking for info on when they will be switching the Christmas lights on at the mound/george st this year does anyone know? I can’t find any info on it on the Xmas pages the council are offering, last year I went after...

I live next to the ferryboat which is quite rough like, what are the worst pubs in Edinburgh in your opinion?
Things that a foodie would turn their nose up to, but you wholeheartedly love. Here are a few of mine: Rustlers BBQ rib burgers Tim Hortons Apple fritters Chicken and mushroom pot noodle Chicken super noodles Deep fried pizza from the chippy. A friend of mine introduced me to a gourmet...
Where is the best burger in town? Only Hearts fans would say Macdonalds :) before I get the usual wit artists :)
A song came on my phone playlist this morning that had me wondering what the best scenes in TV/films are and the songs that made them. The scene I’m referring to was the ending montage in Scrubs with “the book of love” by Peter Gabriel. It was hilarious, but sad in equal measure because it was...
Hi, Having received an E mail from Hibs regarding a watch offer, I done some googling about the company, ( yes I am a sado). It seems it isn’t a luxury brand after all but a standard quality watch which is being hyped as luxury. The general opinion is that it is probably not worth the money even...
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.
