Asking as a hail mary

I live in the Old Town, and have numerous times told tourists to get out of my private garden, and they look at you as if you're some sort of alien. Are they actually real life NPCs? I also once witnessed one using my bird bath to wash her face - any body else putting up with shit like this?

Is there anyone in Edinburgh that would change gas hob to induction hob?

There is a bit of challenge, since the worktop is marble and need cutting to open the current hole to fit the induction hob. Also there the gas needs to be capped and the new induction wired.

Helloo, I’ve recently moved to Edinburgh and really want to work on expanding my photography portfolio. I love to do portrait photography, especially couples and I’m looking for couples interested in maybe taking out 30 mins for photoshoot with me :))

Please dm if interested (with a story about you guys <3)and I can share more details about my work and maybe we can plan a fun photoshoot ☺️

So Glaagow had the Cathouse back when i was a teen in the early 00s, surely Edinburgh has similar nowadays?

Never realised that the Dugald Stewart Monument and Edinburgh Castle lined up perfectly from Meadowbank

Hey everyone! I’ll be moving to Edinburgh soon, I’m in my mid 20s (F) and I’m looking for a gym to join.

I’m a beginner, I used to run and do strength training but it has been a while. I would like to get back into it again and also have the option of joining yoga classes that are beginner friendly and welcoming.

I’m looking for an affordable gym (up to £50 per month) with the least gym bros possible & a friendly vibe. If anyone has recommendations please send them my way

I’m moving into a rented 1 bed basement flat in Canonmills next week. Flat is EPC D, north facing, single glazed windows in the living room and bedroom that don’t open and electric heating.

A little anxious about the move but needed a flat urgently. I know that part of Edinburgh has a few flats like that and I wanted tips and advice on how to avoid mould, survive the winter and not amass a massive electricity bill (which i understand is next to impossible) and other things I need to keep in mind of. Thank you in advance 😅

Hi all,

I live in the Southside and for the last few nights there have been some balaclava-clad guys dressed all in black wandering up and down our road in the wee small hours. Several people have caught them on cameras coming onto their drives with tools, but no break-ins yet; although it seems clear they’re up to no good they haven’t actually committed a crime yet. On this basis, what if anything can one do? Clearly not a 999 call but is it worth contacting 101 so Police Scotland can build up an intelligence picture of what’s happening, or is this likely to be a waste of everybody’s time? Quite unnerving to know that they seem to be probing for a house to break into. The neighbourhood WhatsApp group is characteristically breaking out in panic but with no seemingly actionable or sensible solutions (not sure we should be recruiting vigilante posses from the semi-retired nor sending up checkpoints…). Thanks

Does anyone why they haven’t been updated yet? I want to see Wildwood there.

Okay let me try this again :,)) (I wrote epic con last time...🤦‍♂️)

Hello!! My friend who was supposed to come with me for Saturday (24th Oct) to Comic Con ended up getting tickets for Sunday instead due to them being sold out :(( and I dont particularly want to go alone on Saturday.

If anyone wants a companion I'd love to tag along! I usually like to go through the merch stalls to try and find keychains, stickers and posters relevant to what ive been fixated on lately.

Im also going to cosplay!

Im 27 and use he/his pronouns. Very chill guy.

Hi, I was wondering if CC is any good during the week? I don't often get time at weekends and would like to have a dance and a bit of social fun.

Im into femboys and so was also wondering what the demographic is like?

Thanks for any info :)

I have lived in Edinburgh for several years and read several books about its social structure, but I still don't have a clear picture of it.

One key aspect of Edinburgh is its well-established private schools.

Generally speaking, I don't think school networking is as important as it used to be, and neither is the quality of education. However, parents usually choose the environment in which children are raised. Because children care about their friends, schoolmates can shape their beliefs and social behaviour.

Except for Fettes, all other private schools have tuition fees at the same level, and I found no evidence that entrance to any is particularly more difficult.

I wonder how parents choose their ideal private school? In other words, what distinctive social climates do different private schools have that lead certain parents to choose them?

My point is that if you are a Catholic, you tend to send your children to a Catholic school. Then what is the inclination of parents to prefer their children to Heriot's, Watson's, Edinburgh Academy, ESM, etc.?

The most probable answer I would get here is: the school the parents attended. The social structure is not as rigid and stable as it used to be. Thus, the school the parents attended might not have the same climate today.

Has anyone else had an order cancelled today?

Used to be a reliable service but unfortunately not anymore. Fortunately have booked a slot for asda today and going forward will use Asda for now on.

Shame it used to be good :/

My daughter has been invited last minute to Foxlake outdoor aquapark for a party, but she has a slight cold and I’m thinking it’s surely too cold at this time of year? Forecasts isn‘t bad but it’s certainly not warm! Torn..

We’d really love to plant a tree or have some kind of memorial thing on Blackford Hill or the parkland around it, in memory of a family member that we lost - Blackford hill v. signicant. I’m assuming this would need permission and there would be a process, if it’s even at all possible. Would anybody know how we’d go about exploring this? Thanks

Went to this tonight with a group of friends. And we were all fairly disappointed by the quality of the production. I do want to say the scare actors were doing their best, but they often had no where to jump out from and they were under staffed.

It’s 4 haunted houses with additional rides you can pay for from £6-£8 per ride.

While they were all themed differently, the three main houses were basically the same. Long hallways, the occasional person in a room talking, occasionally jumping out, and HEAVY reliance on nauseating strobe lights.

They were also sending in people too closely together, and when we tried to wait til the group ahead of us was around the corner, it would bunch up all the parties behind us.

The 4th house is a sensory deprivation thing, which the line was very long and we unfortunately had to make our bus back, so had to skip that.

It was £31.50 for tickets, so that’s nearly £8 per house which was 5-10 mins per walk through. There was a firework show which was fine, and a fire spinner, but that was more of a background event than a main event. I will say the DJ, while an odd choice for the event, was crushing it with some serious bangers.

I couldn’t find anyone talking about this event online, so just thought I would write this review.

Anyone got recommendations for a barber who can do a decent beard shaping? Thanks

I remember watching a Michael McIntyre sketch years ago about him going down to Leith when he went to Edinburgh Uni, to score some hash. There was a line in it about ‘some Chinese guy is at the door’ and something about an electric fire

Cannot find it anywhere online.

Does anybody else remember it?

Hi all, I’m relocating from Essex up to Edinburgh early in 2027.

I’m likely to live, initially, somewhere along the West Craig’s/Gyle/Corstophine/Roseburn corridor.

Will be looking to establish new social connections so am interested in any clubs/groups that meet in these areas.

Main interests are music, theatre, walking football, social choirs. Also interested in whether there are any running groups that offer “beginners” events as looking to try and start running a bit more as well.

Oh, and I love a pub quiz!

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hi! I'm brand new to being a power chair user. Tried my chair on the buses for the first time yesterday and really really struggled to manoeuvre it into and out of the space. (Shout out to the drivers for looking out for me - you are amazing!)

I have already contacted Lothian to see if I could practice this at a depot where the chances of me running over someone else's toes are small. However it will take a few days at least to hear back and in the meantime I'd like to practice. I'm going to makeshift the aisle and wheelchair space in my living room using furniture.

So, some questions:

1. Does anyone know what model the buses typically operated on the 26 route are?

2. Does anyone know where I might find a floorplan readily available of said bus so that I can find the dimensions of the space?

As I said I have already emailed Lothian but this would really help me in the meantime, especially because even if they accommodate me I will need to get a bus to the depot.

Basically as the title - I've had intermittent TMD issues, and a nightime bite guard, for years. My NHS dentist reckons the bite guard is fine. But recently I've had awful "toothache" that moves from to top bottom teeth and earache plus jaw pain all on one side that took me out of action for 24 hours. Joint and massetter muscles were painful even to gently touch. Plus the other month I did a wee bit of snorkeling and after my jaw was agony and actually locked up totally for a few minutes. So clearly it's time to get a bit more proactive here!

I'll be asking my GP for a referral but that might take an age (or they'll tell me to go and ask my dentist - ditto) or generate advice to do what I've already tried - painkillers, heat/cold packs, bite guard, relaxation, soft foods, TMJ exercises... So meanwhile I'm prepared to spend some money - but where?

I'm leaning towards a physio as I think it's tied in with tight neck muscles and shoulder issues / posture.

Has anyone used Edinburgh Sports & Spinal Physio - they seem to specialise in TMD - for this sort of thing?

Or had a good experience eslewhere? I'm prepared to consider anywhere in Edinburgh and area that's doable by public transport!

Thanks for any pointers (or warnings). (No chiropractor recommendations please!)
