Whodunnit?
Walking to work this morning, I saw that somebody has chalked B3TA on the side of St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

Own up, villain.

what have you got against Edinburgh?

What's the worst thing about the weather there?
I don't mind cold or even wind but it's the rain that bothers me.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 13:34, Reply)

We used to hog all the rain over in Glasgow
Far less likely to get wet in Edinburgh.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 13:40, Reply)

it can be cold
and windy. It is pretty dry though. And even when it's cold in the winter it rarely snows in Embra itself as it's basically on the coast. last year was an exception.

I do like it, but I wish it was warmer in the summer.

my dog has an ear infucktion
I'm not sure I can afford to take her to the vet

Thats awful.
Hope you are able to find a way to get the dog to the vets.

Are there any animal charities that can help?

Invest in some pet insurance afterwards though.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 13:22, Reply)

I think they're ripping me off. Because when I got her her first shots and a general check up it was $100
the last time I went because she had diarrhea, they checked a stool sample and gave me 20 probiotic pills, it was a hundred fucking dollars again.
