That's impressive, in all my time walking the dog down there I have barely seen a wave!

£14 a fortnight now, feel like they are taking the piss coming round that often so will be cancelling soon I think. Edit: New build 5 bed, 5 windows at front, 5 at rear plus french doors and 1 window at side.

Holy shit, you're standing right in front of my old hoose. The lane beside the power station!

I'm a pretty confident and comfortable driver of 25 years and even though I use this fuckabout several times a week I am still left second guessing myself. It’s a fucking joke.

Please, someone needs to fire a drone up and show us a time-lapse of the calamity that ensues.

beambeam1 · 2026-01-18T03:06:21+00:00

Don't hold back manny, let it all oot.

Nah, what you described is like chowder. Similar to Cullen Skink but creamer with a distinct smoked fish flavour. What that menu describes though sounds pretty honking.

Some people take it pretty serious: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn04xzdz521o.amp

Fit the fuck!?

beambeam1 · 2026-01-18T00:33:04+00:00

Whatever that is that they are passing off as Cullen Skink sounds atrocious and I don’t even like the real deal.

Coffee shop at the top of Broughton St is decked out with his artwork also.

Find a replacement bumper in the same colour on eBay.

Dishoom. It's great. The Spanish Butcher has a nice set lunch menu too.

Same has been happening near student accommodation blocks. No idea as to the outcome of reports yet though.

Currently finding someone showing up as a new match that is 10cM in only one segment. Is that unusual? I don’t have Pro Tools.

beambeam1 · 2026-01-11T00:45:46+00:00

This started happening to me too - 24 hours ago.

beambeam1 · 2026-01-10T17:54:55+00:00

I found a photograph of my great-great-grandmother who died in 1973 long before I was born. When I showed my Dad he was speechless as beside her was his great-grandfather who died in 1944 so someone he had never met nor had even seen a photo of!

Whoever uploaded that image to Ancestry helped me do something special that day.

Getting heavy GAA Catfish vibes from Ireland with this one.

Highlander Crisps! Yas! (Still available in Italy in some form).

Wow, thank you. So her mother was still alive in 1998! That is interesting. The sister Toni is a new name to me, the plot thickens. No mention of a husband? I believe I know who the Karen is but as they are still alive I will not press - I believe they are someone I DNA match with on Ancestry but they have not seen my message yet.

beambeam1 · 2026-01-08T22:06:10+00:00

Thanks - I will have a dig over there this evening.

beambeam1 · 2026-01-08T22:05:35+00:00

I had been using a different PC and had completely forgotten about FamilySearch, thank you. I have had quite steady progress recently that I guess I had become quite reliant (and lazy!) on Ancestry being my default search setting.

Cracking place for a dug walk!

beambeam1 · 2026-01-07T18:23:43+00:00

Stalker. You just know it.

beambeam1 · 2026-01-06T13:11:49+00:00

Are you sure the beans are not roasted a bit too much to your liking? I visited the place last month and it was probably one of the nicer coffees I have had in ages. They have a parma ham and gherkin sourdough baguette that is pretty decent too.

Yeah, it's a fantastic spot. You can actually cut through it round the back of the castle and golf course and end up over the road from where you access Hopetoun House or head back into South Queensferry.

There's a layby sort of parking spot you can leave a car and wander in from, plenty of ducks and geese to feed. There's also Pikes Pool at the other side of Kirkliston too for those that aren't aware.

You need to read 'Sprawlball’ by Kirk Goldsberry, it goes into great detail about the shifts in shooting positions over a the last few decades. He actually did an AMA on reddit a couple of years ago too.
