Feminists and feminazis.

I've no issue with feminism and feminists.

It's the hypocrites who claim they are a feminist when they actually mean they are a misandrist that I have no time for.

Different manufacturers of trainers working to different sizes.

I've always been a size 11 shoe for every brand of trainer or shoe.....part from Adidas which I've been a size 12 for.

Recently bought a pair of new balance, never had them before so to play safe I order a 11.5 but they are too small so I assume they work to the same size as adidas. Went to buy a new pair of adidas today and size 12's were too small for me now even though I've got a pair that fit perfectly?!

35 years old and I've no idea what size shoe i am!

Adidas trainers vary across the styles I find.

I have about 20 pairs of Adidas and they vary in size between a 10.5 and a 13. Biggest I find are the Stan Smiths and the tightest the Bermudas.

That's interesting, cheers. I've never noticed that before and I normally buy adidas. These were zx something or others and I was stressing a bit after that I've put that much weight on even my feet are getting fat!

Pain in the arse for ordering trainers online where a lot of the best deals are.

Generally speaking, Adidas are smaller/narrower than average and Reebok are slightly bigger/wider than average.

As PB has said though, different styles even in the same manufacturer can vary, sometimes significantly.

Kids grow your own crystal sets.
We've had loads of these over the years and I've never managed to get any crystals any bigger than the original salts that you use for the solution

Also , you sit down with the bairn and set it all out over the kitchen table. Get the protective glasses on and dissolve some of the salts provided.
Pour some in different Petrie dishes then tell the poor bairn to leave it for 2 days.
Pain in the erse

My daughter is just coming up for 4 weeks and there is no way someone that small can possibly be that hungry!

Congratulations. It will get worse. Remember she's eating little and often. Both mine were on the Hibs.net bus 21/05/16. Unfortunately they were also both on the pitch....
I hope you suffer the same fate.

Life changing is certainly accurate. I spent about a week in a daze I was just so overwhelmed by it all. Having this little thing just appear that you are charged with nurturing and keeping safe is terrifying and exciting rolled into one.

Thanks, I'm quietly *****ing myself, worry about her going out on her own, driving and working while pregnant. Then the real worrying will begin in March.

The increasing difficulty in travelling direct between Easter Road and Leith Walk. Brunswick Road is closed to through traffic, Iona Street likewise and as of this morning Albert Street is the same. The top of ER is obviously busy because of the Leith Street diversions which leaves a lot of traffic trying to use Montgomery Street.

All seems a bit of a disorganised shambles to me.

The worst thing is all of these streets have been closed for a considerable time in the last year to 18 months, some of them i.e Iona street was closed for about 15 months and only recently opened.........why are all the same streets now being re dug up?

The Albert street caught me out this morning and as you said, is becoming a bit of a mare.

They're currently relaying the road around Albert St which its been needing. However it will soon be dug up again for the tram line.

This is my pet peeve - the complete lack of co-ordination when it comes to roadworks in the city. Take the top of Montrose terrace for instance. Traffic just settling into it yet the minute Leith St. gets closed Scottish Gas decide to dig up the junction.

Then this morning I read a tweet saying that 3 different sets of temp lights have been set up on Holyrood road/Cowgate and clearly no one was aware it was happening.

Does my nut in

Saughton Road North is set to shut in stages for 6 months as well. Something to do with Scottish water. One of the streets on Leith Walk is now no entry except for cycles.

Thieves. A guy true to walk into my house after I left for work this morning. Luckily my wife got the chain on and the door closed before he could open it properly. Utter ****bag.

We always lock the door, even if we're in. It's a habit I've had since moving into my own place and I refuse to change it, my wife has learned the ways it's partly to do with theft but more so with personal safety.

I'll even lock the door behind me in the morning when I leave even if the wife is leaving 5 minutes behind me.

Same here, I can't believe the number of folk who leave their property and family vulnerable by leaving doors unlocked.....madness.

My wife was just coming at the back of me to lock the door, which is fortunately how she managed to get to the door before the boy could push it open.
