- Friday May 10th?
- 7:30pm?
- Summerhall?
- Sorted?This does clash with the opening dinner of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple's Four Jurisdictions conference, but we should be OK if we keep the noise down.

I could certainly be tempted by the above. 7:30pm gives me time to pootle home and drop the bike, rather than risk an unsteady ride home later...

@EdinburghCycleCam Why does riding get unsteadier late in the evening? Do you have a slow puncture?
Posted 5 years ago # -
I must do, there's no way I'd cycle home after a few pints, no no...
Posted 5 years ago # -
I cycle specifically so I can drink and then ride home. Nothing beats riding past the taxi queues after a night out.

It's a Friday evening and I have no self control; cycling home would be a bad idea for me :D

I've had a couple of hairy moments heading home from town on The Innocent when the beer (and the slope) convince me I'm part Indurain and part MacAskill.

There’s a bike hire point there so I can decide whether or not to cycle home depending on my state of inebriation.... I’d always rather wobble through the Meadows on a bike than walk late at night, though.
(I’m in.)

Have provisional pass out & hope to be along

potential.

Oh, I think I can manged that date. But a Friday: some sort of reservation of table(s) once approx numbers known may be wise...

I think I'm in.
Cheers

Woo! Ok, I'm in for definite. I get to do the whole "turn up and try to guess who are CCE folk" thing ;)

Great. Can someone edit the title now, please?
Posted 5 years ago # -
Interesting...
I'm also in the 'my corners cut a lot sharper after two of those swedish fruit ciders...' camp. bus!Will see how I'm feeling that evening.

@Hart's Cyclery, it sounds like the perfect opportunity for you to get a hire bike out to one of the Crammond locations.

No Talking Heads: check.

They don't like it if you sing sea shanties. Especially when you have to sing loud because of the music that they're playing at in the pub that isn't sea shanties.
Posted 5 years ago # -
Obviously there's a market for a sea shanties specific pub?
Posted 5 years ago # -
No Talking Heads? Not even Heaven? That is a really plaintive quiet one (heaven, is a place, where nothing, nothing ever happens, nothing at all)
I don't get Summerhall, it is basically the old vet school, not changed much but somehow cool. De marco user to try this scam every festival but the big Ulsterman running Summerhall has pulled it off.
Anyway, maybe I missed a bit last year at the festival. My Dublin thespian cronies having to put up with the big ulsterman's patronising stories as he is The Daddy. I could see them all biting their lips.
Also @hartscyclery, no one has ever altered a title of a thread. It is a kind of unwritten rule three. (As rule one and rule two kind of make an inappropriate title impossible). IllustriousnLeader may grant you admin rights just for the sake of this?
Ah, except I see this title has been changed :-)

I don't get Summerhall
Do you get Hermiston Gait? I'm looking forward to the singing. I'm doing a talk that evening but I'll be along about 21h00.
Posted 5 years ago # -
Hermiston Gait? An out of town shopping mall? Yes I can see what they are doing there. Shops designed as shops to sell me things, some of which I want.
Summerhall - an old vet school that while changin nothing is now a trendy venue. How did the big Ulsterman pull this off? Is all I am saying. Normally costs millions to make something hip. De marco tried same concept for years but no one believed. But Summerhall appears to be of its time
Posted 5 years ago # -
I think I understand Summerhall better than Hermiston Gait. I bought the methylated spirits for my stove on the Overlander ride from B&Q there but it remains essentially oblique, opaque and mysterious in my mind.

“Normally costs millions to make something hip”
He has millions.
(Perhaps fewer now....)

@chdot, will be recouped when it is sold for housing, fear not

I find Hermiston Gait more understandably than the Gyle. Hermiston Gait is somewhere to go to get something.
The Gyle meanwhile seems to have a lot of people who just go to be there. Not always buying anything and not necessarily there for any purpose other than not being somewhere they would rather be.
And on the subject of title changes, those of us who use Kenny's rather excellent CCE feed will realise title changes are not unheard of.
Posted 5 years ago # -
@acsimpson, the gyle is just marks and Spencer's. I think they own it?
Other shops come and go.
The punters are I think largely Zombies?
