While I agree that many tattoos (not all) are artistically very good, 99% of them still look absolutely rubbish.

I've not been up that way since Covid. The one in Chinatown in New City Road always used to be considered the best 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have slippers but always have a few pairs of "house shoes", be it some really comfy loafers or a pair of sliders. I got a desk and proper chair for WFH. It still didn't feel right until I put shoes on. I compromised during warmer weather by changing in to sandals. Productivity would go through the roof of the rest of the lazy b*****ds put proper shoes on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were genuinely terrifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very intriguing. On 23/09/2020 at 13:15, Shandön Par said: There’s one on Dundee Terrace that gets bus loads of Chinese folk turning up. I would like the names/specific locations of these establishments please. My search for a good Edinburgh Chinese continues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's on Slateford road somewhere but it didn't have a shop front or anything whenever I walked past, just a load of Chinese folk eating stuff like it was a dining club or something. Could it just have been a Chinese family's front room by any chance, Dougal? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Academically Deficient Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 7 hours ago, MixuFruit said: No dammit! It was like a restaurant but with no signs and no obvious way in but big shop front windows and loads of Chinese folk inside eating. I did not imagine it! Studio Ghibli have been in touch: "A common side effect of over consumption of MSG is very vivid dreams and waking delusions. It's how we get the inspiration for many of our movies. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I can see some phantoms emerging from that steaming bowl of noodles". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so looking this place up, it appears from google streetview that there is a takeaway called Good World in its place. Is Fortune Palace a previous name or is streetview out of date? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One at Longstone certainly used to sell shark fin soup. Horrific practice. I saw one in Dundee called Tak a Wa the other month. No idea if it's any good but really enjoyed that for a name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it is now Fortune Palace but same shop anyway, next to the demolished Alfa garage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Used to be one on the Nethergate, probably where the Mexican place is now, called the Kerry Oot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
