Last week in Edinburgh with Royal Bank of Scotland
This last week spent at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) was helping support the system after it had gone live. Really there were very few problems.
The main event of the week was on Thursday when Mary Devine, Ed Aldridge and I went out for a celebratory drink and meal. We started off with cocktails at a bar called Tonic, then on to a restaurant called Ricks. One of these trendy fusion restaurant. Actually had a very good meal. Picked up quite a good tip on cooking which I have presented to Rosemary a couple of times.
After this on to three clubs:
First DROP KICK MURPHYS on Merchant Street just off Grass Market. This place is under George IV street in the arches. Fairly empty.
Second on to Faith on Cow Gate. We stayed for our free shooter and then a beer. Not quite our scene.
Finally on to Whistle Binkies where we stayed until chucking out time at three. I had a dance with Mary. There was a small bit of trouble at the end where some over enthusiastic bouncers hurt a man as they ejected him. We were sitting right next to this group and they had not caused any problems all evening. Definitely light as I made my way back to my hotel.
The bank and my company each gave Mary and I a bottle of champagne. Very nice.
