As my bike was still at my partners parents I had to get the bus this morning which I quite enjoy as the bus service in Edinburgh is excellent. Click on the title for routes, timetables etc.
Dalry Road was still closed due to the savage fire which ripped through the Balmoral pub and most of the tenements above. Unfortunately, a firefighter was killed in the blaze due to a ceiling collapsing on him. This is the only firefighter to have died in Edinburgh for a very long time. Apparently he wasn't even supposed to be working - he was covering for his mate who was at T in the Park. He was one of my mates ex-flatmates - tenuous I know - but please have a look at http://ewan-williamson.gonetoosoon.org/
As the road was closed, the buses were being re-routed along the Western Approach road and we (partner and I) hopped on the 22 heading to Ocean Terminal. I hopped off at John Lewis and made my way down Broughton Street, past lots of interesting shops, bars and restaurants. The Blue Moon Cafe does excellent grub, Crombies the butchers speaks for itself and the pubs/bars make an excellent crawl on a night out.
All the while I was listening to my trusty Ipod. On departing the bus, I hit shuffle and let the Ipod dictate what I was going to listen to on my jaunt down Broughton Street to work.
First up - Give it Away by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers - excellent
Next - My Name is ... by Eminem - geniusly offensive and particularly amusing lyrics (please see below). I find it interesting that rappers generally announce themselves 'on the scene' by releasing a song such as 'My Name is...'
I then strode into work with a spring in my step listening to Big Pimpin by Jay-Z. Happy days.
My Name is... by Eminem, Marshall Mathers, the real Slim Shady. Enjoy.
