    @gembo next time you need to use your Performance Voice we book under your name. That said: quality supporting materials.

    Duh, duh-duh-duh. Duh, duh-duh-duh.
    Duh, duh-duh-duh. Duh, duh-duh-duh.

    ...

    And you may find yourself
    Living in a cycle target city
    And you may find yourself
    In another forum on the world wide web
    And you may find yourself
    On the seat of a functional bicycle
    And you may find yourself
    In a ridiculously busy pub
    Being warned for making too much noise
    And you may ask yourself, well
    How did I get here?

    Letting the days go by, let the beer hold me down
    Letting the days go by, beer flowing underground
    Into the dark again after the money's gone
    Once in a lifetime, beer flowing underground

    Thanks jdanielp, anyone wondering just how good talking heads were should watch their video for once in a lifetime, 1981, no special effects I think he genuinely falls down then crawls under the camera and pops back up again.

    Anyone wondering WTF? When I bought my first suit on what I thought was sale or return I tried it on back in maryhill and asked my flat mates what they thought and they immediately went into the opening bars of Once in a lifetime, the duh,nnn, nnn, nnn, bit that jdanielp includes above. Because David Byrne in the movie stop making sense wears suits with infeasibly large shoulder pads. Hope that clarifies things.

    @unhurt, some barmen, eh?

    @chdot any chance I can have David byrne's cycling book that IainMcR leant you, you must have finished it by now?

    @dougal, that is scary

    @gembo ah yes. That may yet be doable.

    It's a school night for everyone. Some of us just have less common sense (and, okay, live substantially closer to the venue...)

    (But does anyone want to risk having @Iain McR repeat his sad & lonely too-early-for-PY experience? The humanity etc.)

    was in the Bailie earlier - asked to leave as the 'children until 5pm' rule is actually children over aged 5, until 5.

    suddenly the Stockbridge Tap does seem a lot more attractive

    ??? is that even a thing they can do?

    Also: if not Tap, The Antiquary is also a possibility?

    The Tap doesn't allow any children at any time.

    Grey Friars Bobby not keen on under 18s (after six pm)

    I think under the current system, licensed premises can choose what restrictions they put in place as part of their operating plan. Banning under 5's overall just seems to be very arbitrary and surely can't be about protecting udner 5's from harm....

    And ye maye tell yowerself, 'Thys nys nat my swift goshawk!'
