Yes.
But I do hate the way it's become the next "thing"
First it was pickles, then home brew and pulled pork and now chutney. People I know keeping telling me they'll bring some of their chutney for me to try. Hipster shit bags. I have friends that yarn bomb too. Stupid middle class oxford.

Yarn bomb? What?

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 11:53, Reply)

Wankers wrap knitting around street furniture as some sort of hipster graffiti.

It's rife around here at the moment.
There's even a yarn bombing club that have a pop up stall in a new hipster pub called "the big society"

See, you keep giving all these positives to the South
But I put it to you that I don't have to put up with hipster prick shit like this. Except at the moment, obvs.

I wouldn't trade all the advantages of London for that blissful ignorance I had up until 2 minutes ago.

The one positive about the North is that any lad from above Luton
seeing ones of these pricks would already be kicking the shit out of him before his brain even registered what it was he was seeing.
( Kroney, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 11:59, Reply)

There are some more positives than that
but right now, you've got to admit that one's a doozy.

They would soon be collected their teeth

In fairness
Since GB is within pissing distance of the Three Sisters, there's a chance of that happening regardless if you time it right.

It's down on the Cowgate.

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Fri 16 Aug 2013, 12:11, Reply)

On Cowgate, under the bridges
End of Grassmarket. It's where the stag dos, hen dos and terminally unimaginative go. So if it doesn't end in a fight and a fuck in either order, it's gone wrong for them.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 12:11, Reply)

The last time I was down the Cowgate
I saw a young lass, maybe mid-20s, wearing a short skirt and with shit all the way down the back of her legs, clambering into the back of a taxi.

Classy.

Incidentally, 'Positively Priapic' would be a decent band name. Maybe a Totally Tropical tribute act?

I just don't go down the Cowgate any more.
Although, I did have my wedding reception in the Caves, which is technically at the other end of Cowgate. It's amazing how even down there you get such huge variation between "Classy" and "no, actually, really fairly classy"

what the fuck is "yarn bombing" ?

Unless it's a euphemism, somebody is going to deserve to die, I suspect.
