Wrap oven-fresh cakes in foil and tea-towels and they'd survive long enough to be eaten.
A wee picnic on the central island of Princes Street? You'd need specially-shaped cakes which could be easily-gripped whilst wearing winter glubs.Posted 12 years ago # -
I'm sure the trailer party folk could be coerced into carrying sufficient cake.
The rest of us need to hook turbo's up to our bikes and pedal like the blazes to cook them...

When I worked on Melville Street I used to get bacon rolls and sit on the plinth of the statue of Mr Melville in the middle of the road to eat them.
Got some funny looks, but it was a fun place to stop to watch the world going by!

All we need are the rolls and a peleton of diskily braked bikes. We meet at the top of Kaimes Road and fry the bacon on the discs at the bottom.

:D

Those who like their bacon smoked and extra-crispy can use the "hot disks" on Roibeard's Pino

Is bacon fat a good lubricant?
Posted 12 years ago # -
How can it be bad!
I'll volunteer to go on the Pino to add mass, more mass more heat.

For chains? I am already mentally forumlating a new line in eco-friendly "green" (pink?) chainlubes. I'll call it chainlard(TM) or something

P.S. back OT has anywhere else other than PY gathered suitable critical mass to put it to the vote? (Bearing in mind, despite criticisms, PY "works" - off street, bike parking in view, big table to commandeer, nice buns)

Oinkfat might be susceptible to unacceptable viscosities at winter temperatures. Seals or whales might have fats which perform better in the cold.
PY fine for now. Until we compile a Googlemap of everyone's favoured/possible to/from commutes and workplaces we can't even begin to start plotting potential other morning and other-time-of-day potential meetup locations with any hope of success.

"Until we compile a Googlemap of everyone's favoured/possible to/from commutes and workplaces"
Now there's an idea -

"Monitor your progress with up to 25 configurable announcements including distance, time, speed, elevation, and more."
A running total of time-spent-stationary would be interesting for city riding to compare routes for traffic-control-mediated time variance.

Shurely it'd be easier to divide the city into a clock, with Pete's as the centre?
Thus, I work at 9 o'clock, although in the afternoons that's 12 o'clock?
Hang on, that's already confusing me. Urm..I'll just say Streaky Clean for baconlube and get back to work..

Twenty past eight.

Or a dartboard ? With double 11 being the gyle, and anything outside double 5 being Fife (or lets just call it Dave C to keep it simple !!)
Posted 12 years ago # -
Or a pig? If you slant it a little, then Princess Street is the spine, Pete's is in the middle of the torso, maybe the diaphragm, the Gyle is the nose, Portobello is the tail, Colinton and Gilmerton the legs and Leith the wings?

You mean this one?
Fine piece of tramfrastructure with perfect drainage.
Posted 12 years ago # -
that's it "fixed" I take it?
Posted 12 years ago # -
Cheers Nelly, but I'm struggling to recall what numbers are where on a clockface...
I work in the centre of the clock though so AN EVENING of DRINKS would be fine for me!!!

Didd anyone else take 23 hours to process wingpig's post and get stuck with the mental image of Ed Norton and Brad Pitt struggling to heave a gargantuan bag of whale blubber over a fence, having scavenged it from the bin of a cetecean liposuction clinic?
Drinkies works for me too; seems churlish not to take up the German market's offer of mulled wine.

You're the man who makes sure that the hands go round?
So. Post-worky german-markety mulledy-winedy wursty-munchy eventide?
Posted 12 years ago # -
Not been to the German Markt this year. Must rectify that next week (if it and we survive the windy apocalypse).
Posted 12 years ago # -
@dave c, I think you are definitely at beer oclock!
Posted 12 years ago # -
Found it.....
So what's the status for PY?
Posted 12 years ago # -
I think it's PY (by default) in the morning - not sure if there's an evening alternative.

Statutory reminder -
For newcomers (ALL welcome) -
"Normally from 7.30 to 8.30 for most folk."
Some people hang on past nine.
Posted 12 years ago # -
Possibly with added Random Santa.
Posted 12 years ago # -
I shall be there (unless something catastrophic happens!) with surplus cycling item to gift/palm off, but almost certainly without a random Santa (or indeed satan!) :-)
