Its strange how you can see pished jaikies at any time of the day but respectable folk cannot enjoy a small tipple on a hot sunny day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people do their shopping and early and it’s a good time to stock up on booze when the shops are quiet. I wanted to buy a crate of beer and a few bottles of wine for my visit to my parents who don’t live anywhere near a big supermarket yesterday and it hit home what a stupid law it was. Almost as stupid as being told you can’t have a beer at the football because of a few idiots actions back in 1980. Stratfords Bar in Gorgie opens at 6am throbbs. Good crowd in there pre-9am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 We like going for our food shopping early on a Saturday or Sunday and it’s frustrating not to be able to buy alcohol at the same time. That said it’s a minor inconvenience and there are bigger social issue that take priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Four wood pigeons seem to have taken up residence in the garden. When they're not eating plants or trying to hump or fight each other they are shitting all over the place. Ever seen the size of a wood pigeon shite? Size of a dachshund. Not a dachshund's shit, an actual dachshund. Vermin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Are you enjoying your 4am alarm calls as well? For some weird reason, the ones that torment me seem to enjoy crapping all over my food waste bin. Four wood pigeons seem to have taken up residence in the garden.

It's like there's a target only wood pigeons can see. Usually splattered dead centre. Their latest 'trick' is to perch on the ledge at the garage and shit their load. Try getting in there without squelching in their crap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
