The Ellwyn was to be my next port of call and then on down the high street but would have been truly cabbaged if there had been more hours in the day, as there's still a good number of pubs there. Not like the good old days but still a few. Was just trying to map your route, my old boy was bar manager in the Safari Lounge back when it was the Station bar (08-24-2018, 10:52 PM)Groot Wrote: Was just trying to map your route, my old boy was bar manager in the Safari Lounge back when it was the Station bar Nice. Used to pop in there quite often, especially before derbies as an alternative to the Artisan. Also occasionally after we had spent some time drinking those big bottles of tennents at the Railwayman's club just down the road on Stanley Place. The Safari Lounge was quite busy when I went in 8ish I think had some Safari Beer (?), which was 4 quid. Yes, just fancied a nice walk with a great view of Arthur's Seat so went that way instead of along London Road.

Boy I know was just on Dragon's Den. Not a huge fan of him but one of my pals always invites him along to stuff
 He got an absolute roasting and no offers

Nae Bannatyne any more  Still got Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden but the other three are replacements. Replaced Theo Paphitis with another Cypriot Cockney who looks just like him

Anybody using Audible?
Why is it 8 quid a month to access the service then another 7/8 quid each time you actually want to listen to a book  It gives you a token each month, so you're essentially paying 8 quid a month for 1 book. Absolute chancers man, getting cancelled.

Yeah it is, 1 credit a month for £8
You can get some for free as part of the membership but when some of the big name authors books are going for £16+

Yeah as groot says, they have a free section but not anything relevant. Think the Attenborough one I'm listening to just now that I used the credit for came out in about 2014 but it would've cost about 6 quid without the app. I think the idea is you own them forever so not like Netflix where you lose films after a while. But still, it's so expensive which is a shame.

Ah right.
The free section must be why the missus has been listening to 'classics' probably all out the bargain bin.
