I luckily don't have that problem - they essentially want to stay where they are but their 5 bed house to shrink to a 3 bed!

So if anyone is looking for a lovely family home in north west Edinburgh, let me know!

Sounds like it's a bit too close to Glasgow for my liking, plus I don't have a "lovely family", just an angry/happy/tearful/moody/hungry pregnant wife!

Did I mention it was a 15 minute walk to Murrayfield?   

Sold.

As such I'm going along to help with the viewings!

Nightmare. My parents selfishly moved to Orkney. Really handy!

When I was 18 I went to see my dad at his office. He was with someone else who I had never seen before. He asked me to sign a form. I didn't really know what it was for. I signed it, and a few hours later I wandered back and asked what I had just signed. Turns out it was a mortgage application and I was moving out.

As our resident Lawyer FES would say, always check what you're signing!

Especially pertinent in my industry - if a building falls down I need to make sure my signature was no where to be found!

Great up there tho, not to mention a few interesting old stones

I hope Dragons fans are enjoying the deeply weird direction into which this thread has veered off.   
Can I assure them that this is very normal.

This is nothing compared to the usual Scottish thread...

I mean, a few months ago someone even joked that Richie Vernon should play at 13!

It's more interesting than watching our scrum do the moonwalk   

I'm afraid its raining in Bristol atm guys so that usually means its raining in the port

Bring a brolly !

Being televised anywhere?

s4c and bbc alba

Unlucky Amos

Good defence Edinburgh - held 'em out.   

Rees is being a ruddy nuisance. couple of good maul turnovers from Denton tho

Strange cuthberts taking all the kicks. Defence has been good but Rees is playing well against us AGAIN

6-3 Dragons. Cuthbert is kicking for goal for us? 

TRY NELLY THE ELEPHANT.

Edinburgh with Visser and a proper outside centre would be a completely different prospect.

Good try.
But classic Scottish play from edinburgh. Take the restart, boot the ball alway poorly with only 30 seconds left and concede the penalty. Cheap, cheap points to give away.

Tovey a lucky boy - in off the post.

9-10 Edinburgh at HT

Christ Dragons, sort it out

Better

What a try by Matt Scott. He should play 13 everyday!!!

Oh ffs

JESUS H CHRIST REF

Classy, classy try by Scott. Lovely line.

Cuthbert is superb under the high ball

The ref tripped our blyddi player over !

It's all getting a bit heated.

When was GC last at your house, then?

12-20 Exfoliators

Cuthbert MoM surely?

I reckon

Harsh call on SHC there, 2 dragons nailed Cuthbert in the air earlier and weren't pinged.

Well, bit of pride back

Good chdnce you'll get more than pride!

Possibly but the ref obstructed for your try

The legitimacy of Edinburgh's tries could possibly be questioned, imo.

Calm heads needed now Edinburgh.

There were 3 guys able to make the tackle and the ref slightly got in the way of one of them. Plus the tmo thought it was fine!

Why kick the ball away

Playing the ball off the ground - should have been penalty Edinburgh surely

Agree. Completely idiotic by Kennedy when you're a man down.

Squeaky bum time

Tap and go for gods sake

Yesssssssssssssss

Well done Edinburgh.
