Crazy What You Could've Had

Edinburgh. Thursday. Bonus Stomach Entry.

Didi was not a well man on Thursday. He is generally
healthy - I quote direct "mention that i barfed, as its
really a biannual occurence, as ive proved this past week,
the the two years previous to this week". He WAS ill
before we left, and a little shaky all night - especially
in the last pub - but he held up alright.

He was hunting down Resolve in all the service stations.
We managed to get some Rennie in a petrol station (just
next to guy cutting metal - oddly) but not any Resolve.
When we went out in the evening, we were more optimistic,
but all the shops were shut. It was 8 o'clock, so in
retrospect, our surprise should've been muted.

Sainsbury's gave no Resolve, despite a very friendly chap
advising Didi both to get a pint and the whereabouts of a
newsagent where we might go. We did, and a very friendly
chap sold him some Milk Of Magnesia. Which looks like milk
and tastes like Magnesium. It sort of did the trick, and
we could carry on.

Mainly, though the reason this got an entry of its own is
because of the friendliness of EVERYONE we spoke to en
route to finding MoM from the business woman on Princes
St. to the cute barmaid in the pub he hid to take it.
Edinburgh was taking to us and us to it.

Victory was everyone's
