We don't live there anymore (note to self - update profile), but it was a great city to live in, and also great for tourists.

In November/December there will be the German Christmas Markets underneath The Mound (next to Princes Street - main street). German food (noodles, sausages, wursts, cakes and biscuits etc. gluhwein). Stalls with wooden toys and knick knacks. There also have an ice rink installed there.

The Castle is pretty cool, but I wouldn't necessarily bother with the tour.

Climbing Arthur's Seat is a must! Amazing view.

And most of the touristy things in guidebooks (Whisky tours, Plague tours, Holyrood, Scott Monument etc.) are fun.

Good day trips would be St Andrews (beautiful coast, and golf if you like that)
Loch Lomond (just north of Glasgow)

Definitely visit the Highlands while you are there, and any of the islands if you have time. Mull could be a day-trip, or Skye is great for a weekend (with a great distillery if you are interested in whisky).

Send me a message if there is anything else I could help with.


(ALSO - have a drink at The Canny Man's pub in Morningside - very exxy, but very cool and free finger food!)
Freddy Bassett - Agree on Arthur's seat, that view is gorgeous and Holyrood is amazing. Edinburgh has this amazing history of blood and violence just lying under the surface (and not always under the surface). It's one of my fav places to visit.

For a little day trip outside Edinburgh, North Berwick is pretty nice and easy to walk around and the Castle at Dirleton is a pretty cheap look at a Medieval castle.

If you have a car I did a day trip from Edinburgh to Inverness and back again, passing Loch Ness on the way, stop and a bit of a wander around, lunch by Loch Tay in a pub built in the 1500s and eating the salmon that was caught that morning in the Loch. Don't ask the locals about a trip like that as they think it's too far to travel in one day :p

Ahhhhh the old the guvment will fix it solution. Nothing that cant be fixed without a handout eh?
Home loans are full recourse in Australia aren't they? I imagine most people would continue paying off their house like they are now. Just wouldn't be able to leverage it to buy a portfolio like the magazines tell them they should.

Aberdeen's worth a visit too. And there's some brilliant distilleries up in the highlands.

Expect a lot of grey. And drizzle. Though at that time of year, you'll probably need your thermals.

100% correct, similar to if i create problem i should be expected to fix it too. i personally would choose B, however that decision will be a government killer, which no group would take on. when deciding on a solution unfortunately these thoughts are weighted as well

Unless their home loan is in default.

Run a few extra shifts at the mint to pay for it I guess.

problem is people wont be happy paying off a loan of $400K when the house they sold is worth $300K, so they have sold the house but they still have a loan. again this should be the people who have this issues problem, however due to the public outcry it is easier to just pay this out to have the issue wiped clean quickly.

no one will be happy when they hear a family cant feed the children due to the outstanding loan they have and bankruptcy is generally not an option as this will affect their OO property

If they can't afford the loan, they can't afford it, no matter what the value of the underlying asset is.

If he's going to sign, surely he's going to do it before finals to give his team a morale boost.
If he's made up his mind to stay there is no advantage to him or the club in waiting for our finals campaign to be over.
You are in for some disappointment. I think he will stay, but there definitely won't be an announcment today.

I hope he does go to Gold Coast. Better than those campaigners down in geelong, plus they might be more generous to trade. C'mon Paddy, if you're gonna leave, that pasty white skin will need some sun!('s).
I read the page, and the GC people are right, the AFL will do the deal so we can't match and have to accept a pittance of a compo pick. They will absolutely screw us if it means getting Danger to the Gold Coast if he wanted to go there.
