I got movers to shift our stuff 20 minutes across toon, fuck punting an entires flat worth of stuff about it was miserable enough packing it all up Heh

Talking of moving there was a poshy young student couple moving their stuff down by West port the day. They must’ve chucked their sofa down on the street for 2 mins and 2 Jake balls had commandeered it and the pair of them didn’t know what to do at all Heh

One of them smacked out their face passed out on it and the other being stubborn as fuck refusing to move while the guy pleaded for them to get off Laugh

Like that's all he's going to eat.
Full loaf of white bread will be coming out with the lurkpak, followed by another 4 bowls.

I see Scotmid is now selling those Dubai chocolate bars for £7.99
The best saleswoman ever (behind the counter) told me they're disgusting Warnock

I don’t think she’s making any commission from Scotmid bud.

You don't say.

@Curraheel ... What are the best boozers in Galashiels these days. Sat sesh so a bit of variety wouldnt go amiss, and we tend to lean towards traditional.

Any up on the hill? I drive that upper high street a fair bit but can't recall if there's any?

Reivers isnt quite as Timothy as once was. Think the Tims might have another place to frequent.

Salmon is a nice pub and does good food. The Auld Mill next door is more a traditional pub. It starts attracting bampots later on at night. The Ladhope is a good pub up the A7 heading towards Edinburgh. They're the ones in the town centre. There's a few outliers. Nikis bar up Balmoral is about a 15 minute walk and you've got the Woodcutter in Langlee. Quite a few pubs have closed in recent years sadly. Hope this helps Pondy.

Aye Reivers is safe. The Tims got chucked oot.

Many thanks, Curra, looking forward to the day out. Always wanted to stop in at the Ladhope, guess it's probably one of those that requires the right timing to get the best feel for the place.

Its a good pub. Worth starting there maybe? Only a 5 minute walk up from the train station.

Btw the reason the Tims have been thrown out the Reivers is because they were turning up for Celtic games being shown in there with carry outs. The fucking nerve man. Borders Hearts have started to take over so its good to pop in.

Sounds like a plan. Got a good Jambo mate coming over from Hawick, he's lived down there for a long time now (incognito) but I'm sure his missus will be happy to drop him right at the door. Would now be remiss to not stop in and toast the the generations of Reivers who raided the fine Border lands.
