Anyone from here from Edinburgh? If so how you getting on in this weather?
Just spent a fantastic weekend up there, but the airport was shut for a couple of days so we decided to drive back (470 miles in 7 1/2 hours).
Apparently you havent seen snow like that for years???
You can't polish a turd

yeah it's probably the worst i've seen here  in all my 48 years , 90 % of the time window cleaning in these parts is great but that 10% of the time it comes in from the east it's a bassa. But this time around it's stuff to tell the grandchildren about in years to come.
2 feet of the stuff in most places more in the drifts. The kids trampolene looks like a gigantic merangue.
Got to laugh at my wee logo on my trolly "pure freedom"  no chance me and my van are prisoners at the moment, and to cap it all there's no sign of the kids going back to school.

Should be a Hibee, as was born in Elsie Ingles, and stayed at Meadowbank, but having moved around so much, I am a Scotland fan only...well, Pars have a wee place in my heart too, as they were the 1st team I watched as a bairn.

You?

Been to a few games at Easter Road over the years, and always had a good time there.

When I moved back up in 04, I worked at Sloan VW on Gorgie Rd, sold a car to Mixu, also had a stint at Rossleigh in Porty, and sold a Range Rover to Mark deVries.

Always love a pie n Bovril when I get the chance to get up the road.

Was just saying to my Mrs the other day, as all my family apart from 1 or 2 have upped and left or passed on, it's been about 4 years since I have been in Auld Reekie, and I really have an urge to get up there for a few days over the Christmas shutdown.
