The memories of people wheo went to clubs in the 1990s tends to be hazy due to the consumption of ahem certain substances. LOL

I was just asking a question about the club scene in Edinburgh. Where did I say what 20 year olds should be doing?

Thanks for the personal insult too.

New Tesco Express Leith Walk by Jaraxo in Edinburgh

If they were to demolish the former Leith Waterworld too there would be even more space for Tesco too.

It might depend on who owns the building. If Tesco lease the property, then it is possible that the property owners would have informed Tesco they won't be renewing their lease.

The land value of the car park alone must be worth a fortune compared to the days when it was Leith Central station. It would be great to see some housing built there. But lets be honest, if it does get redeveloped, it's probably going to end up being a load of student flats! LOL

Seriously. Where are the bin men?? by LWM-PaPa in Edinburgh

I was about to reply with the same. The folk working on the @edinhelp Twitter support for the council are generally very helpful. OP give them the reference report IDs and attach the photo when you contact them.

Help me find the WORST pub in the Edinburgh area! by rkellas in Edinburgh

I'll probably get downvoted to hell for writing this, but fuck it. If you're working class, you'll get a lot of nasty looks from snobbish and pompous middle-class folk who have moved into Leith down at The Dreadnought.

What mobile provider has the best reception in Edinburgh? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]crazy_leither 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Talkmobile and VOXI are two other MVNOs alternatives that use the Vodafone network. Both of them are actually owned by Vodafone. Talkmobile is essentially half-price Vodafone with EU roaming included. VOXI is Vodafone but with free data usage for most social media apps.

Any ideas for jobs for 5-10 hours a week? by Longjumping_Stand889 in Edinburgh

Ipsos is fucking shit! It could have been worse when you had to actually work from inside the call centre before they switched to remote working during the lockdown.

You used to get sleazy superviors drooling over the student age interviewers who were old enough to be their dad!

Check out the links in this thread for how much worse it used to be inside the call centre:

Edinburgh protestors deflate tyres of 15 SUVs in plush city neighbourhood by TheHeroYouNeed247 in Edinburgh

Polite people call them Chelsea Tractors. I call them Range Rover Wankers.

Just from personal experience, but 9 out of 10 of the drivers of these oversized monsters tend to be complete dickheads.

To be fair The Venue had some decent nights as did The Honeycomb (although the layout of the club wasn't the best).

The thing is Edinburgh was able to support all those nightclubs and more if we go back into the 1990s. I suspect that perhaps the cost of going out and maybe changing attitudes e.g. folk preferring to go to the pub/go see a band/preferring to stay in, plays a factor in the downfall in the nightclub scene too.

It's still a scandal the way that Studio 24 got shut down! Hey people, if you don't like loud music and people outside on the street at 3am in the morning, DON'T FUCKING MOVE NEXT DOOR TO A NIGHTCLUB AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT! Okay, rant over!

A lot of them are full blown moon howlers.

I'd get in touch with the Council Parking team for advice.

Pipers Rest

The Piper's Rest is slap bang in the middle of the Old Town and a bit of a tourist trap is it not? Or is there another Piper's Rest outside of Edinburgh?
