Unless colours in Balerno have gone all weird</p> <p>@crow if the Tory councillor was in nam I will pickle my fedora. He did lose a stone in weight by walking all round toryville canvassing. Also wasted fifteen mins at my door in full knowledge of my allegiances. He said, now I know you want give me your first vote, but will you give me your second vote? Nope. Third? Nope. Fourth? Nope. </p> <p>With the weeds I just went out and pulled them up it was quite easy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18405#post-268097 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 20:28:19 +0000 crowriver 268097@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo, lot of military types in Tories: did the Cllr serve in 'Nam or Afghan?

Easy walk to the quarry pit on top of Hare Hill for teenage campfire sessions. @sheeptoucher tells me there was a man bivvying in the bird hide at Threipmuir the other year. TWO cafes but I'm not allowed to go to the one that isn't The Mill. Tri types swimming in Harlaw (but they wear wetsuits in contravention of natural laws). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18405#post-267906 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 23:03:08 +0000 gembo 267906@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@bill, all sorts of things - red moss has a lot of history. Bleaching field, medicinal sphagnum moss etc. A hill made of paper, film makers a plenty. Monthly cinema, very active theatre company, Knights Templar, weeds the Tory councillor described as a living hell. Fietsclub Balerno, houses being built on every space, one good pub, one derelict pub, tennis club, bowling green. It is mental. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18405#post-267904 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 22:34:37 +0000 bill 267904@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ejstubbs @bax @Morningsider thanks for the tips.
