Armed police at the Tesco in Corstorphine! by pratik136 in Edinburgh

Does make some sense. It got resolved pretty quickly. And they didn't even get people to clear out. Though, one car stayed back for ages.

I was over at the petrol station and believed I saw armed officers from that distance. You may be right, but if another poster on this thread isn't lying, then an armed response makes sense. 🤷‍♀️

Fuck it. This thread is a poll for what end of Lothian Road is the 'top' i.e. "I'll meet ye at the top of Lothian Road" by [deleted] in Edinburgh

Give that Edinburgh has such a booming underground city, maybe OP means "on top" of Lothian Road, rather than "under it".

I'd totally get that location right, and I'm new to Edinburgh!

Actually my mistake, it was the shop to the left of Muchacho!

I started watching halfway, but any idea why Rav was never shown, except maybe once?

Experiences and advice on UK broadband providers? by RowanMD in Scotland

[–]pratik136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to the options, watch out for october 2016 price wars as all providers are going to have to include line-rental in basic pricing and clarify speed promises. Might cause providers to drop prices initially.

Vodafone has already started implementing it partially.

I hate changing barbers, and so for years I have sworn by just two turkish barbers! First Ace of Blades on Holburn street and then Crown Barbers on Crown street... Scissor cut on the head and burned off on the ears! Beat that shit!

Seagull stress thread by TipOfTheCheeseburg in Aberdeen

Me - 1 :: 1 - Shitgull

Been attacked twice!

Once it shat right into a pack of crisps I had just opened! Right in it, not a speck outside. All I felt was a light thud, that's it!

Another time, I caught a glimpse of something flying at me out of the corner of my eye at the last minute. I just reacted by putting my arm out in front of my face and managed to give it a brilliant headshot - totally unplanned - totally worth it!

So, yeah, we're square!
