    More police than spectators on Lothian when i walked by one of my colleagues was getting sandwiches when he went passed no more than two or three people deep at the time.

    My peaceful walk along the canal though was totally ruined by the choppers over head.

    I've had choppers over my house all morning. I find the noise strangely soothing. Managed to get within 10 feet of the pope on bruntsfield place. He'd run out of wham bars but i got a jersey bar and some fizzy lizzy's

    Good game... good game...

    I tried but failed! Didn't take my bike out. Thought lowracer might be too radical for the day. (Being a bike made in the Netherlands... one country that will not be on the Papal tour route!)

    Disappointed that we didn't have more police on bikes.

    Now, who else can we invite to get the potholes filled, the roadworks taken away and scare the drivers off the road?

    someone linked me a youtube video to that lot yesterday - Pope My Ride. It's a big publicity stunt by Paddy Power bookies. Got a pretty accurate representation of the popemobile though!
