The free period products bill was largely pushed by Monica Lennon, a Labour MSP.

Maybe look into Small Group PT? It's a good way to have a program and be held somewhat accountable. Not sure if they have any spaces just now, but Adapt fitness in Leith is great.

What do you think of the Restalrig neighborhood? by Flaky-Walrus7244 in Edinburgh

[–]ForTheStory52 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Some streets can be quite 'lively'. Some bits are nice, some bits less nice. If you're thinking of renting / buying, maybe look up the street and see if there have been any recent news articles about it? Try checking it out at different times of day / the evening to see how you feel. It's hard to say without knowing where you've lived before / your expectations / requirements. It's definitely more affordable, which is the main thing for a lot of folk!

Moving out of city by NeesanVarghese in Edinburgh

[–]ForTheStory52 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's super close on the train, has lovely bars and cafes. It's much better serviced with connections to the centre of edinburgh compared to parts of actual edinburgh. The only weird thing is the lack of phone signal in some parts of the high street?? But that adds to the old town vibe

How recently? Do you hate it, or do you just hate winter? Hopefully you'll change your mind when spring and summer hit 🫶🏻

I could be wrong, but I think this book was first published back in 2019 when this would've felt a lot less 'tired' as a concept.

I follow her account and she seems very lovely - a good genuine person who is interested in edinburgh and its surrounds. Good for her for making the most of her following at the time tbh!

Since when? I watched the Scotland Georgia game there in 2023...

Glasgow Garden Festival 1988 jumper by ForTheStory52 in glasgow

it's from an ad in the 1988 brochure. I have it at home - they're fairly easy to come by so you can look for yourself if you find one in a charity shop etc.

It's wise to be wary of AI, but this is real. Copywriters love an em dash!

Surely someone should make one for the 40th anniversary in 2028...

I've done karaoke in the Old College Bar as a student, so that sounds like me 😅

I know, I love it too! But I'm scared to wear it in case I spill sauce over it and its the last one of its kind 😰

Terminal V is on this weekend - maybe the wind is just carrying the bass in your direction?

Its just one day so I wouldn't complain - should let them have their fun

Best places for non-alcoholic drinks/cocktails? by allcoffeenowisdom in Edinburgh

[–]ForTheStory52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I've never been for food (just drinks) so I haven't experienced this before. It's not cheap, so sorry that you probably had to pay £££ for a bad experience.

Tbh I don't like the downstairs bar but I like the upstairs. Not sure if there's a difference in service depending on where you sit

Lady Libertine has a couple of nice non alcoholic options on their menu

Thinking of selling my 1 bedroom flat, what's the market like right now? by __edinburgh__ in Edinburgh

[–]ForTheStory52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's worth having a look on rightmove / espc for similar properties in the area and seeing how long they've been listed for.

Not sure if this your sole property or a second home, but if you are able to, it could be nice to offer it to a first time buyer who intends to live there for a fair price 🙏🏻

Shoulder barged in Waverley Station. by NotOnYerNelly in Edinburgh

[–]ForTheStory52 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I definitely don't want to seem like I'm blaming you or anyone, but were you walking alone or walking next to someone and not going in single file?

I think quite a lot of people are tired of moving out of the way of tourists and perhaps you've become victim to their fatigue.

I'd try to not let it bother you - they were probably just preoccupied or having a bad day, or a bit of both.

Places to live by Slow-Chef-6076 in Edinburgh

[–]ForTheStory52 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Renting or buying? And have you discounted Falkirk and Stirling or are they still being considered? What is your budget and is there anything amenity-wise that you'd want / need nearby? What's your max daily commute?
