@philipwawilde I own a copy. 😄

@berlindee1893 @WeirdScotland More convinced about this than the other two.

@LandscapeOptics @WeirdScotland Too big for a squirrel. Look at the size of it. My boot is in two pictures next to it for scale. My money is on otter or mink just now.

[LiteraryCorstorphine @LitCors]

@LauraMossEdu @WeirdScotland Definitely not. Too big.

@shugcar @WeirdScotland Don't get the reference, sorry.

@WeirdScotland Location round back of new development. Should SSPCA be notified?

[LiteraryCorstorphine @LitCors]

@Historylecturer The 26 wasn't every 30 minutes when I tried to catch it. They only started running to any kind of timetable later on Christmas Day. Staying out of town today (New Year's). Not worth it.

[LiteraryCorstorphine @LitCors]

So Edinburgh council wants us all to go car-free but we have almost no buses on Christmas Day etc? As far as I can tell 1, 12, 22, 31 not running today. 900 Citylink wanted to charge me £20 to get to city centre.

@karlshuker @WeirdScotland @EdinFortSoc Otter?

[LiteraryCorstorphine @LitCors]

Any idea what this is? I thought it was a hat originally but it has organic (stinky) material under it. It looks like some animal has been skinned. By West Craigs Manor (sic), Edinburgh

@adam_copp @dahontr3 @CllrScottArthur Many younger people think that the law on cannabis and other drugs is too harsh. I think it should be reformed but folk shouldn't drive on it.

[LiteraryCorstorphine @LitCors]

@adam_copp @dahontr3 @CllrScottArthur Folk don't think about consequences when they take drugs. If they did, most of them wouldn't take them to begin with. Many think cannabis comes with little to no consequences.

[LiteraryCorstorphine @LitCors]

@dahontr3 @CllrScottArthur Many people are under the impression that cannabis doesn't impair your judgement at all. Or less than alcohol does. They certainly don't think about consequences. Much like lockdown supporters seemed oblivious to economic and social consequences.

@DalryCemetery @SecretEdin I don't think it's necessarily to do with a roof. It means a tapering surface:

Hips, as in legs, would be hirdies/hurdies.

@brw51 @jester_mouse @SecretEdin An improvement in some ways but the contemporary architecture round there is bland. A shame.

[LiteraryCorstorphine @LitCors]

@dahontr3 @CllrScottArthur p.s. I don't support what he did BTW. But those who pushed for over-long lockdowns like Cllr Arthur have never addressed their social consequences. They did it because someone else above them told them they were needed. Domestic abuse also went through the roof in this period

[LiteraryCorstorphine @LitCors]

@dahontr3 @CllrScottArthur He did make a choice to smoke cannabis, but I doubt he chose to mow people down. Lockdown created a massive increase in substance abuse which has never been addressed by its supporters. Many addicts died as a result,and the so called "cost of living" crisis is also down to it.

@cocteautriplets Do you not remember those giant "pocket dictionaries" too? The only ones which were pocket sized were Collins Gem and Oxford Mini. You would need a "poacher's pocket" and good lining to carry that thing.

@PeterAnderson2 @WeirdScotland Dating them is more important and viable. Almost impossible to authenticate other than broad geographical origins.
