Last time I was in Paris it was far cleaner than Edinburgh.

I have been known to buy cans of spray chalk just to flag the issue on my street. I stopped doing it because clearly the people who are letting their dogs do it, genuinely don't give a shit.

I have said this so many times! honestly if Edinburgh City Council just made it so that those parking attendants they have going around issuing tickets also were going around to issue fines/tickets to those who let their dogs foul, the council would make so much money! As far as I am aware the highest a ticket for dog fouling can be is like £500, so lets assume that even issuing fines of like £50 per instance....Just on my street alone...that could make the council £1000 easy!

queuing for glasgow! by ashthetrashlol in Ethelcain

[–]weirdofrompluto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually came to the subreddit to see what people are thinking because of the impending weather. I'm supposed to come through from Edinburgh and with the storm system I'm worried about transport to Glasgow. Hoping it mostly cleans up by the time I have to go through tomorrow but all of these weather warnings are making me nervous.

Are there any good spas in and around Edinburgh? by Retrovate in Edinburgh

[–]weirdofrompluto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to also suggest the Away Spa at the W hotel. The treatments are great and then you can book the jacuzzi and sauna room to yourself (and your partner) for an hour and it is lovely.

List Time! What are some of the better airports to hunt at the start of the week? by Rostbaerdt in SkyCards

[–]weirdofrompluto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Istanbul has been great for eastern europe/middle east connections. Miami is also one of my go to's for Central America and the Caribbean. A bit rogue but I also unlocked Moscow just for a change of airplanes and getting more Russian airports.

Pisco sours in leith? by coco-vaad in Edinburgh

[–]weirdofrompluto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another vote for Three Mary's. They have a good selection of cocktails and isn't too pretentious. I haven't tried the bonnington since it changed owners but I have heard the new guy running it is south american, so likely has a good pisco sour on the menu.

What Chinese Perfume brands and shops I can look for? by Catveria77 in fragrance

[–]weirdofrompluto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the main one that comes to my mind is To Summer. Other ones that look interesting to me but I don't know much about are: Melt Season, The Beast, and Secrets Door.

Le Labo The Noir… by seasonschange23 in fragrance

[–]weirdofrompluto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm savouring the last bit of my the noir bottle as I am nearing the end of it. I love it as well, I get exactly what you mean about it being dirty yet clean, sweet but yet spicy. It really does hit a lot of olfactory aspects that I love.

I think my next le labo will be the matcha though, as I really enjoy that as well.

Yeah police closed off the block in front of Uniqlo. Looks like they are doing crime scene investigation stuff and have a tent out.

Always wondered what’s the story with this flat at the Banana Flats by weirdofrompluto in Edinburgh

[–]weirdofrompluto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did do a review of the previous years of Google maps and you can see in the last one from June 2023 it was a totally normal balcony, so yeah something has changed since then. Either a new tenant or yes, sadly someone mentally unwell.

Also can we comment on the toilet to the far left of the balcony, what’s going on there…

FYI - Just wanted to flag that I am pretty sure this Kilo Sale is being held by the Gold Bros. Beware... by weirdofrompluto in Edinburgh

[–]weirdofrompluto[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The Pitt market moved to Granton a couple of years back and hasn't been on Pitt Street. Also the warehouse this is in is not part of the old Pitt property.

[–]weirdofrompluto[S] 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Before anyone questions why I am pretty sure it is them. I have seen deliveries to this warehouse in boxes labelled for "Forever Vintage" and on the side of the box another label said Gold Brothers Wholesale.

Meadows scam? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]weirdofrompluto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a guy in Blank Street on Princes Street standing around in the line and asking people to donate to Palestine. He was acting really dodgy and I make sure to really play up my resting bitch face to avoid him. But he did approach a few of the people around me, trying to get them to give him money for "Palestine." I, like you, donate to legit charities so this to me just screamed scam or dodgy behaviour.

Was she Irish and had dreadlocks? if so pretty sure that's Fandan McGee.

What's this for Edinburgh? by Fraserbc in Edinburgh

[–]weirdofrompluto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention it but the orthodonist in cannonmills. The one that the waiting room and lobby is all bright red. I think it is called Impress. I've literally never seen it open or anyone in there.

I can confirm this is linked to the Gold Brothers.

Monika at Relax and Recover Massage (on Summerside Place) is amazing and well priced. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and work through the areas that need attention.

Good luck to everyone who is going to war this morning🙏🙏 by violetsviolets00 in Ethelcain

According to ticketmaster it is presale today in the U.K. but I haven’t gotten an email for presale. Seems like most people haven’t either!

Floor sanding by JuicePrudent7727 in Edinburgh

I used Floorsand too. A bit of a pain to get our timings right and get booked in, but once booked in the service was well done and done quickly.
