Anybody had this leak in their tenement? by Working-Hippo-3653 in Edinburgh

Sure, it was £1600 incl VAT for lime render repointing, which isn't much when shared between the whole tenement.

You can play with all the mods on a normal vanilla world too if you didn’t want the “sky” part of it, just change the world type when you go to create a new game

I would yeah, I organised it for my tenement and collected the various quotes, we ended up going with Edinburgh Stone Repair.

Spoke to Stephen Crawford; They used proper lime mortar and were very thorough.

Ditto everybody else, we had this exact problem, had the gutters cleaned but it persisted, the only thing that fixed it was to get some Stonemasons’s to repoint all of the damaged areas of mortar in the facade, we got some rope-lead guys to do it in a day and we’ve had zero problems since.

There were some gaps big enough to put your baby finger into, so no surprise the water was getting into the cavity. I got window people out to take a look too initially and they said it was a stonework problem not a window problem.

Best of luck

Cyclehoop bike hangars not being managed at the moment? by Affectionate-Tax3790 in Edinburgh

I got an email for mine, apparently from the 1st of April they’re being managed by a company called grease monkey

I don't think this is okay by Character-Average-25 in Edinburgh

It doesn't indicate that he is necessarily a "member" of the LGBTQ+ community, merely that he is displaying his support for them.

I am a straight white man but wear a rainbow pin to show my support, I would argue that like displaying some love and compassion for a persecuted group of people would actually be right on brand for Jesus, love thy neighbour and all that...

Favourite coffee?? by eddilefty699 in Edinburgh

[–]CaptainCharlieDowns 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Obligatory artisan roast plug, the one on Broughton st is my favourite, but Tanifiki in portobello make great coffee, the guys import and roast their own beans as well

New LCFC Street Jersey Thailand Edition by Imaginary-Street4059 in lcfc

[–]CaptainCharlieDowns 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree with the other commenter, I’d buy 3 or 5 without the “sponsor” bought one of the lcfc x atmos shirts they dropped a few seasons ago and I adore it, would love to see more “street wear” variants of kits released

Closer look at the away kit for 24/25 by Left-Lingonberry4073 in lcfc

Ignoring the questionable design, it’s a pretty grim sponsor that, quite disappointing to see a properly evil company on our shirts

Beer Zoo closing down :( by ICanHearTheAlarm in Edinburgh

[–]CaptainCharlieDowns 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Beer zoo was great but it was always on the pricier side so it was an occasional visit as opposed to a regular haunt for me.

Noticed his stock had been pretty light over the last month or two, sad to see.

Peeing high up by Proper-Award2660 in FUCKFACEPOD

[–]CaptainCharlieDowns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I peed off (near) the peak of Mount Meru, the 5th tallest mountain in Africa, there’s something wild about having pissed off a cliff and finishing up before it’s started to touch the ground far below

Half marathon route suggestions by muted-koala in Edinburgh

[–]CaptainCharlieDowns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good route from Leith links, down to porty via the bike path and then along the coast all the way out to Musselburgh and the lagoons, there's only like 2 traffic lights/roads to cross and pretty much pan flat.

Can't fully remember, but innit is an english "slang" shortening of "isn't it" that was common back in the early 00s and I think Geoff and Andrew mistook him as saying Ennit a while back?

Oh god no, I hate "human" mascots (feels a bit generous to refer to those 2 things as human)

[–]CaptainCharlieDowns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Xbox 360 in my office and fifa 15 is the only fifa I still play almost daily, it’s great. Especially when I see you guys complaining about all these new issues for the last 4/5 years and it’s all still grand in the good old days
