In that sense it's the granddaddy of Scottish Blogs (and many others) and it covers the varied life of a bingo caller in Leith. When did you start your site?Initially in 1997 with Netscape Composer. Later I switched to FrontPage, and then in early 2001 on to Blogger.peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882833.post-1089659790579542812004-07-12T12:10:00.000-07:002004-07-12T12:16:30.580-07:00Darlings - I'm having a complete nervous breakdown.
I know some of you have your ups and downs... partners can be a bitch... children disrespect you despite years of your devotion... parents fuck off and die, the ungrateful bastards.
All of those things.
But never more than one at a time, eh?
Currently we're suffering from...
a Naked Blog server that's down, and Ednet don't seem to give a peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882833.post-1080120568909122362004-03-24T01:29:00.000-08:002004-03-24T01:40:32.873-08:00YOU ARE WHAT YOU WEAR
If you live in Leith, it's impossible to avoid those dreadful beige-coloured squares. It's fake, it's knocked off, it's every damn where you look. Yes - we're talking Burberry again. As everywhere as Buddleia, and twice as nasty.
So I'm indebted to NB reader gav for this little sound clip. Burberry.mp3 (489k, worksafe) Scots will get the joke immediately, but for those peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882833.post-889028282003-02-11T01:18:00.000-08:002003-02-11T01:30:06.000-08:00WARTIME AUSTERITY EDITION

Robin is fit, fortyish and always up for it. What he lacks in conventional good looks he more than makes up for in the charm department. With a unique combination of silver tongue, brass neck and (reportedly) iron knob, this man is arguably North Edinburgh's most successful romancer. And don't let that traffic sign mislead you.

Well - at least one or two of you are interested. A special hello to the more than one hundred who took the trouble to click over to us here at our holiday home yesterday - and equally special thanks to those who were kind enough to link it. This favour and more can be called on any time. In a sense, it's good that we as a group host on such widely-varied servers, then in times of peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882833.post-835037302002-10-25T01:29:00.000-07:002002-10-25T01:45:54.000-07:00THE NATION LISTENS...
Hi folks. Welcome to the emergency edition of Naked Blog. Austerity they used to call it, during the war. The Naked situation is that my server is still under attack, and unable to accept updates. Which is a fat lot of use for a weblog.
Measures are in place, after consultation with Tony my IT Manager, to migrate the domain to another host company. This will take a day orpeternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882833.post-835033572002-10-25T01:10:00.000-07:002002-10-25T01:15:29.000-07:00FAMOUS TV PRESENTER SHAGS GRANNY SHOCK!!
After the horrific, bonk-busting revelations yesterday by Ms Scandinavia Wrinkle concerning a tall, unnamed Scottish TV presenter, Granny of Leith was quick to set the record straight. Speaking exclusively to Naked Blog from her penthouse pad in North Edinburgh, Madame Granny was in reflective mood.
