  1. Hungarian Goulash

    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?

  2. The Filmhouse to close

    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.

  3. Factor Fees for Flats

    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...

    This is a sore one, gutted to hear he has passed away. The Smiths were for me one of the greatest bands these islands ever produced and his bass playing was a vital part of their sound. When I think of 80s music it’s The Smiths that instantly spring to mind. I’ll be playing a few tracks tonight.
