Yep, was at Edinburgh over the weekend – went over primarily to see Silverchair.

I managed to go out drinking on Friday night, so yet again, I was hungover and travelling, good times, good times. Flight was only at lunch time, so it wasn’t to bad. Airport was relatively painless, I didn’t do ‘online checkin’ mainly because I forgot! But there was only 10 people in line when I got there, and no one in line for security scanning – which was handy!!

Was contemplating going to Murryfield to see Ireland V Scotland, but with no ticket & only 100 pounds in my kick pocket, becuase again, I forgot to get money out and hungover and all that, but I managed. Headed into town to have a look around, but it started to rain, so I decided to go ‘inside’ it just happened to be a pub The first 2 went down like rusty nails, but it all came good, watched the union and then some Scottish Premier League and then decided I best find my accom. Had a shower and then shot off to the concert and there was a freaking line that was massive, so I went into the pub & had a few more pints, and the line was nice and small when I came out, straight through security & into the bar, this is where I was dumbfounded, you could get 5 SHOTS of spirits in a SINGLE drink at the bar, not to be caught short, I had to have a lash at this, had 5 shots of vodka and lemonade for 12 pounds – pretty decent price I thought.

Silverchair were pretty awesome, they played alot of their new album and a few oldies, though I am dead set pissed off at them playing just over an hour, with 4 or 5 albums worth of material, they could have easily played an hour and a half and then come back on for a 15min encorr – so I was a little shitty with that.

But I managed to find some like minded aussies at the concert, courtesy of my boony army t-shirt, me so and my new found friends hit the town and hit it we did – didn’t get home until 6am and checkout was at 9am, so only a few hours of sleep doesn’t bode well, considering my flight was late arvo…. I attempted to do some sightseeing via one of the bus tours, had to hop off a couple of times for ‘air’ t’was quite funny really… but yeah managed to get in and see Edinburgh Castle, which is dead set awesome & saw a few other things…

But guarenteed, I’ll be back, this time probably won’t hungover or drinking to much when I am there!!
