@ajarrodkimber I'm sure at the time I read that Jack White wanted to reference something English as Elephant was recorded in London. To him the cricket bat symbolised that

@historyrock_ Inaccurate. Scrambled eggs were placeholder lyrics that fitted the tune. He always knew that they would need to be changed. This is a common songwriting technique.

@Harryjwilliamss There's not much traffic along George Street, so it feels pretty safe to cycle on. What makes it unattractive to cycling is the amount of time you spend waiting at multiple traffic lights. Fix that and cycling levels will skyrocket

@WG_RumblePants We should be grateful that a private radio broadcaster wants to cover an overseas tour. At no cost to the listener and no impact on the BBC's budget. It's a minor miracle and the coverage is decent too

@crumplelush @anon_opin You can get train tickets between Edinburgh to London for about £30 with Lumo. Without a railcard. Even cheaper with a railcard. And you don't need to get to Stansted or get from Edinburgh airport into Edinburgh.

[ESRA @SeaAches]

@iamagiraffe @anon_opin Have you ever turned up to an airport and booked a ticket on the day of travel? It's extortionate. Why would you expect train tickets to be cheaper if you don't book ahead?

@euanmccolm I wouldn't have seen this if you hadn't posted it. Not sure why you did tbh if you didn't want the profile of either Mr Greer or the white poppy to be raised

@edinhelp the cycle track between Roseburn and Haymarket is covered in broken glass at multiple locations following Tuesday's Oasis concert. Can you send a road sweeper please. And perhaps send an invoice to @MurrayfieldStad for the cost.

@Milo_Edwards @thomasforth Handy if you're looking to go to the Bingo

@IdlewildtheBand *cough* Edinburgh Usher Hall - Saturday 6 December

@saddleblaze I'd love to watch this season's cycling but £31/month for @tntsports is daylight robbery sadly

[ESRA @SeaAches]

@anon_opin Looks like someone's never flown out of Paris Charles de Gaulles before. You need at least 3 hours to get through that place.

@createstreets I disagree. Car parks should be below or above buildings. Using land only for the storage of private vehicles is hugely wasteful.

@cmclark63 Weather, bud. If it's so hot that water is boiling then you'll really need to crank up the AC

[ESRA @SeaAches]

@SW20Ed ... and urban driving and parking is less convenient

@UnionTyke @RomanScotland Thanks, I'll speak to my local bookshop.

@DanNeidle This encourages a 4-day week for higher earners (no bad thing for the individual). But there's little added incentive to work the 5th day as most of your extra earnings are paid straight back in tax. Working 80% of the time for 90% of your total potential pay is a no-brainer.

[ESRA @SeaAches]

@SW20Ed That first example really reminds me of the Meadows connection here. And what could be if we prioritised people and trees over storage of private property on public roads.
