Well done you for taking Miss Roo out for her walk. Her eyesight and hearing may be failing, but I bet she can still sniff the air and know what is happening around her. For dogs sniffing is probably more important than sight or hearing.

We have friends with an elderly dog and they have something that looks like a pram, but designed for dogs. When their doggie gets tired it goes in the pram for a while. Less tiring for the humans, too.

#MissRoo should have her own hashtag.

The word for clover (Trifolium) in both Scots Gaelic and Irish is seamair.

In both languages shamrock is considered to be a small or young clover. So, in Irish it is:
seamair + óg = seamróg

The English word shamrock is an approximate pronunciation of seamróg.

In Scots Gaelic the word for young is òg (the doofer goes the other way 😃 ).

In London they could easily get 500k. We'll see.

Nigel Farage getting a "welcome" to Edinburgh in 2013. Farage tried to hide in a pub, but...

"He's a scumbag."

Be interesting to see how many are on the "Remain" march in London next weekend.

@wizardofosmium
Difficult to say how many there were yesterday, as many people would have been journalists, camera crews, bus drivers, family seeing folks off etc. Seems Farage isn't such a big draw after all.

Apparently, Farage isn't going to do the whole walk. What a fraud!

It's nice that there is an emoji for Calmac ferries.

I don't know Curriehill that well, specifically, but Currie is really nice. Great access to the west, but also routes into the city centre and the city bypass is nearby. Not as many amenities as you get closer to the city centre. Heriot Watt Uni' campus is nearby.

I think @wizardofosmium lives near(ish) to this area. He might have some more local knowledge.

Dùn Èideann is down there.

Southside Edinburgh (Bruntsfield, Morningside & Marchmont) is best, but I might be biased.

@alysonsee
Yeah, pretty amazing turnout.

@laraby @inAktion
The idea is reminiscent of the names given to Bond girls e.g. Plenty O'Toole.

I'm not happy.

If I use my screenname "Fussy" isn't any better. :blobsad:

120,000 gather (yesterday) to demand the release of political prisoners and support Catalan independence, in Plaza de Cibeles, *Madrid*.

If I get time I'll be watching "Assignment - Paris" next week (I got it on DVD). I was looking for stuff on the film and came across that site with the posters.

That first "Damasco '25" poster certainly makes me want to see "Sirocco". 😃

@wim_v12e
Quite by chance I came across this poster for "The Man Who Watched Trains Go By". The poster was used for the Belgian release of the film. Thought you might be interested.

That poster and some others of Märta Torén from this website:
