Another grand afternoon spent at Meadowbank watching Hibs. Guest this week was my Dad, and a fantastic rainbow. Who fancies chumming us next time?

Hey @laidbackbikes.bsky.social went to refit the baby seat in the bakfiets today and we seem to have lost one of the seat belt buckles. Don't suppose you have any or a way to source replacements?

Messi/Bojan regen at the wain's football training this morning openly refusing to pass to anyone and giving the coaches attitude about it. Hate to see it. Had to bite my tongue clean in half.

An industrious display from Hibs at Meadowbank tonight. Covering every blade of grass, with exceptional individual performances and a great goal. But sometimes football is about the stuff that happens in the shadows. A real nice night with my m8 @kneelbeforeclom.bsky.social

It annoys me to no end that the nearest Voi stop to my gaff is a 10-15 minute walk away. And also that there isn't a stop directly at Meadowbank stadium. Please tailor this transport method to suit me personally.

The thread about the Great Edinburgh Beer Duty Fraud: Boiling the Wort and Cooking the Books It was 3AM on Christmas morning 1933 when - after a long and cold stakeout - not Santa but three agents of His Majesty's Customs & Excise entered the renowned Bell's Brewery on the Pleasance and caught the…

Hit my first ever Royal Flush in Balatro today. Was it enough to beat the boss? Of course not. I love how annoying this game is.

Roughly two-thirds of Amish churches now allow e-bikes.

wake up babe new vault city beer just dropped x

Car culture could never imagine such freedoms.

Sudden change of plans meant a lift became a last minute dash across town to Waverley. We could park conveniently directly beside the train, but the brain dead ebike ban is still in place.

Closes tomorrow, 10th Jan! We believe that through-traffic should be removed in this area, with 2 nearby schools, several nurseries, and a University Make sure you have your say!

TYNESIDE LAMBIC TRAIL 2026 24/25 Jan 26 Looking forward to once again joining some great Tyneside bars to show off the best in lambic and mixed ferm beer from the UK, Belgium and Beyond. Details coming. Save the date and please share!

There is a Urban Arrow parked at Holy Corner most of the time and it never has the sides of the cover down, even in terrible weather, and it bothers me.

Meanwhile in Edinburgh. The sub committee was asked by the committee to ask officers to find out what policy they should ignore. The Council has launched an inquiry, they're not sure what about but they do know they want to spend a lot of money on consultants to tell them how it might have been done

I just watched The Great Flood, and actually really connected with it. As a deeply entrenched parent, it struck a chord on a number of levels. However, the reviews are terrible. But maybe that's OK and sometimes cinema is about seeing yourself somehow? www.imdb.com/title/tt2992...

Revising an oldie from what I reckon was the peak era of the Thornbridge box. Much more juniper than I remember, but still great.

One of the true pleasures of aging beer. This was a jawdropping masterwork when first released, this bottle perhaps frozen in time somehow, still evokes all of that original character. I sold through almost all my Burning Sky in my charity sales, and couldn't let this go. I was right not to.

This is utterly superb. Intense and hot, but balanced with abundant spicy wood character, liquorice and coffee to the fore too.

Keeping the dusties flowing. One more before going back to the chalkface of craft tomorrow. A zippy one, plenty of fresh lemon juice. Boon don't miss. The other guys... Well....

New year, new you ? I run a friendly 5/7 a side football group. Games every Monday, 8pm, Marine drive world of football. All comers welcome, mixed gender games, football is for everyone. Give me a shout if you'd like to join.

Going easy and seeing in the new year solo watching TV. Maybe a slight indulgence is required. Cork still in great shape. The yoghurt has dropped off, and acidity turned up a notch. But it's juicy as.

Stock set out for le réveillon. BCBS 2021, Jester King x Other Half Urban Mutation, St Bernardus Wit, and Hacker Pschorr Kellerbier.

Any particularly strong opinions out there on a choice of Disco Elysium vs Stray? Keen on both, and they're on sale.

This is what stands for infrastructure in the village our family live in, in the foothills of the Jura mountains. Paint is not protection, taken to the absolute max. I'm an absolute bag of nerves the very few times we have to walk here. People live in their cars here, and I understand why.

Looks like I'm not the only one that wants Voi to extend to Meggetland.

What's it like to be outside during the hours of daylight?

Sincerely one of the funniest things the WSJ has ever written or done. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...

I'm very glad to see this. The junction is very dangerous for almost all road users, and I routinely have issues here.

"Iconic scrapyard" please kindly fuck off, Edinburgh Live.

Related, anyone in Edinburgh remember Foodstuff?

I'd heard a lot about The Finch since it opened. Got in there tonight for the first time with some good friends. It's simultaneously exactly in the right place, and a few blocks too far east. What a gaff.

After the decline in quality and resultant closure of The Curry Leaf, where do those in SW Edinburgh get their curry delivered from now?

Who has made this 🤣

Pay attention to how media covers this draw. Who calls out the issues and which ones gloss over it. Plenty of sports outlets are quite ready to play along with FIFA & Trump and they do not deserve neither your time nor your money. #worldcupdraw

What an image

Oldest's football training is out at Saughton astro for the first time, and it's got me absolutely buzzing off the grassroots football vibe. So many different teams and communities here this morning. Class.

This road layout needs changed tomorrow. Better than that, it needs changed decades ago. We cannot afford consultation, dither, and delay.

Finally won a run on Balatro last week. Such a great game, and I'm so hooked.

Horrible to see there's been an accident at the junction of Colinton Road (30mph) & Meggetland. A junction we use more than daily. And used by dozens of young sportspeople Consultation, dither, delay, the Edinburgh council way. There's someone in an ambulance now. Change it to 20mph immediately.

Instead of a segregated cycle path why not simply cycle round one of the most busy and dangerous roundabouts in the whole city/country. And you want us to give up the Roseburn Path and trust you to give a viable alternative in return?

That’s pretty good coverage of the more rural parts of Scotland! In combination with a bike or e-bike, you can get almost anywhere

This is the key for me. All that time back, and no stress. Ideal.
