Hmm. School
I mostly liked school, but fainting in my first assembly at grammar school wasn't good.

On the plus side, the ASTOUNDINGLY fit school nurse then came into my latin* class later in the day with my bible** and the immortal line "you left this in my bed earlier" which I swear she said deliberately. Instant kudos SCORE.

*grammar school
** see above.

And Edinburgh, fo sho. Although Prague used to be good before drunken English shits ruined it. I always liked the Church, too, when it was still at Bagleys. In a kind of "knife edge between drinking life and death and being constantly sexually assaulted by Antipodean women" way

Did you go to a grammar school then?

I wouldn't want you to think I went to private/public school, hence the desperate over-emphasis.

Which places do you frequent in 'burgh, badger?

My local is The Orchard
Spiers post-hockey but that's a dodgy old geezer pub. The Pear Tree in the summer, plus The Black Bull, erm, Queen's Head on Fredrick St, Teuchters, Mathers, 99 Hanover St and Binkies for the late night drunken lols.

Oh, and the Bow Bar. Obviously. Quite like the Cask and Barrel on Broughton St too.

I do like Binkies.
We've got an Edinburgh overnighter in October, so will no doubt end up there on the Sunday night.

It's the only place I'd ever consider going for music
until I got dragged into the Rat Pack the other night. Which was wicked as long as you can keep out of the clutches of the middle-aged ladies hunting like sharks.

I may check some of these recommendations out for our impending trip, thank you sir.
