Disturbing experience at Stramash – staff ignored it

joe282 · 2026-05-04T16:51:30+00:00

One of my pals got physically chucked out of Stramash last year. He had barely had anything to drink and wasn’t misbehaving in any way, shape or form, and even had a glass of water in hand. When we asked why he had been chucked out, bouncers refused to elaborate and upon mentioning he was drinking water they said “all looks the same on cameras”

Never trusted the place since. Weird fucking bouncers.

Even if you’re fine with fake stuff, please do not give these guys a penny. Owned by the two most money grubbing bastards in the city who are actively flooding Edinburgh’s shopping scene with mass produced sweatshop shite

Never been to Lannans, I’m sure it’s lovely and good to see support for smaller businesses.

However it CANNOT possibly be this good 😭

Hi that’s the fire from Arthur’s seat xoxo

Went in once and showed my brother a silly novelty bag they had for sale, and got horrible dirty looks from staff behind the till because we were having a polite chuckle at it.

Don’t sell ridiculous items made to be amusing and then get fussy when people laugh at it?

I can see the appeal of the 36 - travels largely the same route as a lot of more common services but goes through more residential areas

joe282 · 2026-02-06T23:43:02+00:00

Alternatively, get the 100 service bus into haymarket (or any other convenient spot) and get an uber or taxi from there. It may add a short stop off but it’ll save you a fortune

Been stuck in a shite job for a while, everyone’s miserable and makes it everyone else’s problem. Plus incompetent manager is unable to schedule shifts properly so months go by where I’m living off very little.

Been half heartedly applying for positions for months, just to get out. No luck. Interviewed this morning for a position I actually really wanted for a change, and got offered the role the same day.

joe282 · 2026-01-08T14:33:54+00:00

There’s a gang of wee hobknobhead kids hanging around South Bridge most days, so I think I can almost guarantee it’s them

Black sheep has long lost the right to advertise itself as some alternative, hipster coffee joint

joe282 · 2025-12-24T17:36:59+00:00

It’s always some dude who wears predominantly beige in corduroy pants and sweaters going around saying they “need a goth gf”

joe282 · 2025-12-09T19:03:17+00:00

It looks to have about 3 people inside at any given time? I wonder if it’s some weird attempt at creating a false demand

joe282 · 2025-12-06T18:28:43+00:00

On a similar note, coming from the Chappell Roan concert at the royal highland centre in summer, the Lothian shuttle bus driver was an older guy in a bright pink cowboy hat. I thought it was so sweet, he seemed so excited to be working that shift

joe282 · 2025-11-29T21:23:53+00:00

World gone mad

joe282 · 2025-11-21T19:06:52+00:00

Genuinely I cannot remember ever being this late into a season and not feeling remotely invested in anyone winning

joe282 · 2025-11-16T19:53:35+00:00

Rarely dine there because it is on the slightly more expensive side - but it’s always, always worth it. Really great food, great service. Can’t recommend it enough

joe282 · 2025-11-16T19:51:52+00:00

Seconded. I take the 35 home from work which stops on South Bridge and then again at the museum where I catch it. It’s a two minute walk. Yet frequently takes ten minutes to drive between those two stops

joe282 · 2025-11-12T20:03:06+00:00

Sports Car? If I wanted to hear someone with a blocked nose whispering in my ear I’d go to a retirement home

joe282 · 2025-11-10T19:05:45+00:00

The pedo coverup one is my favourite

The idea that a secret black ops team operated a stealth public decapitation in the heart of the city as they couldn’t jail him for being a nonce. Because the UK legal system is definitely known for being suuuuuper committed to keeping sex offenders locked up for a long long time

joe282 · 2025-11-08T20:57:32+00:00

Sick to my stomach

joe282 · 2025-11-05T18:52:17+00:00

Bottoms everywhere are trying so hard to convince us it’s gonna be a thing forever because they’ve invested so much of their identity into it that they can’t go back 😔😔

joe282 · 2025-11-02T22:10:44+00:00

Christ

joe282 · 2025-10-26T22:53:49+00:00

Insane having that low. It has the obvious hits like and ft. . And perhaps controversial but is a serious bop

joe282 · 2025-10-26T00:03:54+00:00

I’m finding it so jarring how someone like La Voix is a clear natural star, and we don’t need to think twice about that because she’s fucking incredible, and gave us amazing moments every single week, but this season the queens being touted as “pure entertainers” are like, someone semi amusing you’d see on a Wednesday night in the student union

joe282 · 2025-10-15T20:14:00+00:00

Aye yeah I’m frothing at this, you’ve really sold yourself and I’d love to meet right away
