lol. everyone's disappearred.

today on the bus I realised that I've got this (bad?) habit of kinda pouting my mouth when I'm alone. making me look somewhat pissed off.

oh and btw, thanks Helly for enquiring for a place for me to stay in England but I've come to the conclusion that I'm just gonna fly straight to Edinburgh, makes things a lot easier.

No problem - sorry it didn't work out.

Yeh, I have a really sour face on me the whole time - even when I'm happy. Random strangers come up to me and tell me to cheer up and I'm like 'but it's my birthday' . I think too much and I strain my face when I'm doing it, maybe.

Damn! I can't believe the mods closed my thread on 'A moving Train' where I was making an academic enquiry into whether the Clergy watch porn movies! I've not had a thread closed before. I wonder who could possibly have been offended by it?

haha funny - yeah i reckon they do watch - dortburds

Hiya eMMI, I'm around for a change, work has been manic... :(

What was the issue about staying in England?

She was supposed to stay with someone in Liverpool but he let her down and she was wondering if somebody else ANYWHERE in England could put her up for a night or two just so she could go there.

lol. I suppose. so, I guess this means that I've got some hours (supposedly) to spend in Edinburgh, any tips?

besides, it wasn't really the city of Liverpool I was gonna go to Liverpool for.. it was just a nice frosting on the cake.

Hmm... well I might let eMMI take over here

That's very nice of you to offer Dave - thank you.

Al, I know, the name's shite, I was a bit embarrassed going in asking for it, lol. But they're pretty good ya know. Towards the end of the album it can get a bit self (what's the word? Not absorbed but something) but if ya listen to the first 4 or 5 you'll be thinking 'oh my god this album is amazing'

Audit on at the moment - please don't let them come near me please don't let them come near me... I think I need to go home sick

Edinburgh is a fantastic city, espicially around august. Everything is more expensive with the festival on but there are so many great shows you can go to.....you'll love it I've been the last two years in a row. I love the Comedy shows. If he's there at the same time check out jason byrne....the best irish comedian

Lol, no I do... all the time. Sometimes to tell me to cheer up and then I smile and they say 'that's better' and other times to ask for directions quite a bit - so I dunno if I look really sulky or really approachable I'm going with the latter for now.

Oh eM, Dave's nice, stay with him.

Edinburgh is a great city easy to walk around, great restaurants and bars etc. I used to live nearby during all my high school years and my sister still lives there.

A few links that may be helpful.

For nice places to drink I like the Grassmarket and Stockbridge areas. Slightly more touristy is the Royal Mile.

There are lots of good restaurants in the area too.

Shopping - the main shopping street is Princes' Street, parrallel to this run Rose Street and George Street (slightly more upmarket).

Slightly more unusual shops you can try Grassmarket, Cockburn Street and Victoria Street areas.

And relaxing, always nice to sit in Princes' Street Gardens or take a walk up to Arthur's Seat.

EDIT: Didn't realise you would be there in August if so you will need
