I spotted you at the last moment, wingpig, but didn't have enough split-seconds to reply to your greeting. Haymarket took ages. Tram looked good, though.

Anyone out on a recumbent coming up Marine Drive at around 13:30? Flag pole had a wee Saltire on it... :)

I'm told no one 'got' my spotted joke upthread.
I 'spotted' hankchief in a children's picture book, which has a character called hankchief. 'Our' hankchief does not have a bushy red beard (at least not at present).

I am familiar with Mr Chief, Ms Polkadot and the troll who gets sick of fish.

Thank you wingpig. I knew we had a well- read audience out there.

Now you know what I was reading when I had to come up with a username.
The alternative was BabyBrains, but I didn't think that conveyed the right aura.

Pirates have an enduring appeal. Trying to dredge up the one we read to our kids, My Aunty the pirate? (trouble with auntie)

We're on Trelawney P Craddock and his Haddock being stolen by a crew of Pirate Cats, at least once often several times each night...

The Night Pirates rule : "Rough, tough little girl pirates" !

Quite long history of female pirates, UK, Sweden and China. Some passing as men Anne Bonny being the Most famous. (You imagine everyone else drinking rum for breakfast as a way of assisting the gender swap?).
The pirate name generator I used had a random option, an option to generate from my own name and a gender option.
I went for own name and male. This gave me
Samson 'long legged' Gilly and claims me as The angriest pirate sailing the seven seas but probably says that about all the pirates?

@SRD, @steveo don't forget the author who is tryingto cover all bases with the books about Finn and the pirate dinosaurs.
Finn and the Pirate Dinosaurs is reasonably popular at Greenroofer Towers, but it would be even more popular with micro-Greenroofer if it was Finn and the Pirate Dinosaur Emergency Rescue Knights.

"Finn and the Pirate

Finn and the Pirate Dinosaurs
...ordered...

@SRD - that had never occurred to me, but yes, like Zog. I always read Princess Pearl with a voice like the Queen (although younger, to start with, obviously)

I followed a cyclist along Myreside Road earlier today, a bit after 5pm I think. Actually, since the cyclist was beyond the arched footbridge when I negotiated the lunar landscape of the junction with Colinton Road, I set off in hot pursuit and was almost set to overtake by the time I turned left at
Balcarres StCraighouse Gardens. We exchanged cheery waves. I'm currently quite bad at remembering faces, so if it was you Greenroofer, hello!Posted 10 years ago # -

You can call me Liza 'Grog Swiller' Veal, the Cutlass of Black Magic Harbour. Arr! Is it September 19th yet?

Was looking out my attic toilet window just there 8.20pm and pino or similar recumbent upright tandem speed machine stopped at lights outside my house. Looked like roibeard in recumbent stoker and to be honest roibeard clone as steerer. Both very happy looking roibeards. Gave them a shout. Hopefully they were heading to Carnwath to sample the delicacies of the apple pie bakery.

Did the play about Marco Pantani (il pirata) ever come to much?
Posted 10 years ago # -
Coming to the Festival of Cycling.
A dramatic rehearsed reading of the play “Marco Pantani – The Pirate” by Stuart Hepburn.

@Arellcat. Nope, not me that time. I was on a Brompton on Friday, following the incident with the puncture which meant that I didn't want to take the big bike to work and have another one.
Posted 10 years ago # -
The play about Marco Pantani (il pirata) was staged in Glasgow to rave reviews and as LaidBack said above it will be read as part of the Edinburgh Festival of Cycling http://www.edfoc.org.uk/events/event/marco-pantani-the-pirate/ with Stuart Hepburn reading the part of the grandfather. Hope you will all come to see it... ;-)

@gembo - I heard a shout at some lights, but couldn't see a shouter, which makes sense given the window in question!
The CCE neighbourhood watch is highly efficient!
The day was marred with multiple punctures, and no apple pie, but happy indeed - it was "training" for the Bethany Sportive.

a late-running kaputnik on Gilmore place? Could see yellow cap and beard, but sun in my eyes precluded actual eye contact or definite recognition.
