Honest_Man#1 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 There’s a general opinion that Glasgow has more jakey types than Edinburgh (probably does by population), but in Glasgow they seem to stick to certain shitey areas, whereas in Edinburgh they are everywhere - even the nice bits. Had a guy come up to my car outside my flat earlier and hand me a card with a Priest’s number on it and ask me to phone as it was an emergency as he needed the guy to stop the helicopter above us from harassing him which it had apparently been doing for weeks. There was no helicopter, and I wasn’t getting my phone out so said no and he went a bit nuts before heading off to dive into the bins. Never got anything like that in years of living in Glasgow. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was outside your flat how do you know they frequent the nice bits as well as the shitey areas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking down George St and a guy strolls up and asks if I can tell him where he can find some beer, whilst holding a crate. I laugh it off and keep walking and he follows me getting more and more annoyed at the lack of response until finding another group to annoy. 3 minutes ago, GordonD said: If he was outside your flat how do you know they frequent the nice bits as well as the shitey areas? I live in an affluent, leafy section of Edinburgh, which is why it’s so annoying that junkie lunatics appear to stray into such areas in this city. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 There are some strange crossovers between expensive areas and mad junkies in Edinburgh. When I first moved here we had a flat on the South side which has some very nice spots but also had loads and loads of jakeballs drinking cider in the street. When I lived at the top of Easter Road there were groups of junkies about the place and jakeballs sitting outside the public toilets in London Road gardens, that’s about fifty feet away from the most expensive street in Edinburgh.The central area of Edinburgh is so small that people can wander/stumble about it quite easily whereas Glasgow is spread over a wider area, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What?? Try walking from Edinburgh Playhouse to the Kings Theatre when you realise you've turned up at the wrong venue for a gig then you'll realise just how small central Edinburgh really is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a total degenerate hanging about there yesterday falling about the place, spitting on the ground and shouting expletives right in front of us when we were standing there waiting to get on the bus with a pram. My girlfriend ended up storming off to get away from him and I missed the first half of the Hearts Celtic game because of it. Your dad is quite a character! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
