I was walking down the high street in the late afternoon and Scouse Hobo guy starts on at me hey Man I like your suit. We chatted for a while about the cloth, the cut etc and. About it. Being 15 years old. Scouse Hobo remained entirely complimentary and added. For good. Measure - and your hair, I like it too. I enquired what he was after but apparently all he wanted was The Craic. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=488#post-384246 Wed, 13 May 2026 13:01:29 +0000 bakky 384246@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I saw some kind of non-partisan James Bond briefly at the protest, assume he was a paid agitator of some kind </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=488#post-384231 Tue, 12 May 2026 21:33:02 +0000 gembo 384231@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good chat with @roibearrd tonight formerly of this parish.
