    The Orange Order appear to be holding some sort of rally. Be wary of drunken persons milling around on the paths.

    Drunk people stumbling about the paths and getting in the way? How will I tell them apart from normal pedestrians?

    The marching band outfits and sashes are a dead giveaway

    Aye, I can hear the flutes and drums in Abbeyhill: I hope they are not heading down Easter Road!

    yeah,nearly got taken out
    1st by two of their coaches at Tollcross
    Then a Transit 'bus' that didnt realise the coaches were parking(on the zigzags!) and I thought he was them and pulling in
    locked up slide from me.
    does turning the rear wipers signal a sorry?

  8. "Erin Hennessey, a barmaid who was on duty at The Royal Mile pub when the brawl occurred, said: “Normally it’s mainly tourists in here, but you could say we had some interesting customers on Saturday. You might use the term radge"

    Quote of the day.

    I'd always assumed it was 'rage' but pronounced as 'radge' but then I'm not a bar worker.

    Radge as in Gadge as in Gadgie. I believe it's got gypsy/Romany roots.

  11. Ah now I didn't know the stymology of the word - I'd always thought it was a slang term for 'ned'.
