The blethering goes on...thread 2

[ElephantOfRisk]

Still plenty to chat about. Remember this isn't fight club. Nice chatting required.....

Good the hear I'm not such a heathen after all

Enjoy your days/nights out @ElephantOfRisk @prettybird

We're off to Edinburgh soon to get ripped off on lukewarm mulled wine and a wander around.

Enjoy @ssd!

French toast is best sweet, with cinnamon.

Have a good time getting sozzled ssd!

The hall meeting was excellent and chaotic and I am shattered. Had to drive home via the Sherriffhall Roundabout, which is the WORST and I am still stressed about it. I avoided it on the way out but returning home always goes wrong.

Cinnamon, mmmmmm , now you're talking!

Sherriffhall is mental. Are there not plans to run part of it under as a tunnel? I honestly think that just shutting your eyes and pressing on the accelerator is how most people deal with it.

And you lot with your sweet French toast! It's brave of you to show your faces!

Emergency wine for each hand please 😬

Wrong thread but what the hell

Emergency wine is appropriate on any Scotsnet thread I think

Ooh I love a wee emergency wine

ssd - I agree with you on the tomato ketchup

Has anyone been on the tram into Edinburgh from ingleston, any tips?

I've caught it from the airport or from further into Edinburgh. It's pretty straight forward but remember you need to buy a ticket before you board. When is it you are going in to Edinburgh?

Tomorrow. Where do we buy the ticket? And how was your night out?

There are ticket machines on the platform, trans v regular. Enjoy!!

Trans is a whole new thread.

Teams are very regular

Trams even

Thanks @ssd, night out was fine, lovely meal and caught the fast train both ways so was home before 10.15.

And as everyone said, tickets via machine on platform and trams are frequent but you don't half get pee'd off if there is a queue at the machine and you miss a tram - or maybe that's just me. We used to park at my Mum's and get the tram from there but it's not the best of areas so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to non locals and as my mum's passed away, you couldn't exactly just park at hers.

Hope you have a lovely day out.

Thanks, glad your night went well too.

It was nice catching up with people, restaurant was really really quiet. It's such a shame. I know it's a Wednesday night, but this close to Christmas you'd have thought they would have more than just a few tables filled.

That is a shame, I'd expect places to be jumping just now.

Is there anywhere youd recommend for a nice sandwich or toastie in Edinburgh, like near the centre?

There were some lovely looking vans selling stuff out the side door of the St James centre, the one that comes down the lane at the side of the cathedral (Little King Street). We didn't have anything but they smelled gorgeous.

I really like the Southern Cross cafe at the top of Cockburn street but we aren't in Edinburgh that often anymore and I've only been 2 or 3 times since lockdown.

This place up a lane at the East end of Princes street seems to have a really good rating and is a proper cafe type place:

We've had sushi and macaroni from the wee vans outside St James but there's nowhere warm to sit and eat. Is Bross Bagels open there yet? They are a treat. It wasn't open last time we were there but it might be now
