    Right, as you lot probably know, I'm banned from more London companies than The.Pike.
    There are a surprising number of firms who'd love to have me working for them, but they're run by people I like. This means I would feel duty bound to act in a professional manner if I went back to one of them. As professionalism is unknown amongst office staff in the parasitic agencies to which we pay 50% of our wages for doing fuck all, I can't be arsed with that.

    I'm going to be in Edinburgh for a couple of weeks at the end of August and I'm toying with the idea of staying up there. I'm probably sufficiently good on Scottish history and Embra to do the Tourist Guide gig on a bus, something I did in London for a while...when guides were expected to talk about crap like English history and architecture, rather than interesting and educational topics like Madonna and James Bond. Not really the recruiting season for tourist guides, though.
    So, what are the pushbike firms in Embra like? Are that yellow lot, City Couriers, the only option? Are they any good? McDonald's have an "office" (probably an alky with a ten-year-old van, sitting in a portakabin) out by the airport, but I don't fancy riding much further than Corstorphine down the A8, so sod the airport.
    I would assume pushies don't go further than the South Gyle estate. (I bloody well hope so anyway!)
    Piss-taking responses only, please.

    i hear there's lots of money to be made in the under-the-counter sale of diamorphine. you could probably set up your own firm to deliver it for you and legitimise your funds.

    I'm a bit taken aback to learn that Pikey worked in Embra.
    He's never mentioned it to me.

    That's coz you dont know him.If you did you'd know that he does'nt like being called "pikey"anymore it's offensive to the travelling community but being offensive has never bothered you anyway.

    I've never called him Pikey. Come to think of it, I've never heard anyone call him Pikey.
    He does look like a Pikey, though.
    I've known him since he started as a courier.
    Go and do some work!

    Looks nothing like The.Pike, Ronnie.
    Mind you, Chef and Lance in the background are probably up the scratch on The.Pike's level of drug intake.

    @Miss Basie "I'm a bit taken aback to learn that PIKEY worked in Embra". "I've never called him Pikey". What has Edinburgh done to deserve this?
