You get your teeth into those offended by the burger bar promo, and posts about Science Festival funds and trams

Some of you found a burger bar's bin-a-sandwich promotion a bit indigestible.

What a waste of perfectly good food!

However, most of the beefs were of a different flavour

They should have known better. This is 21st Century Britain, lightheartedness and fun are banned at all levels. Anything which invokes any suggestion of humour or anything a bit edgy must be abolished if we are to live in a healthy, PC environment with minimal impact on the climate, seagulls or potatoes. Now, put your woolly jumper on, get some tofu and tap water and sit in your cold, unlit room and read a book until such time as you realise the error of your ways.

Piece in our time.

tsk! tsk! Douglas, must try harder – war on piece, movie a long now.

Who cares about this silly nonsense? Where's today's story with pictures of neds wearing tea cosies for hats?

They could leave the sarnies in a corridor at the city chambers. They'd soon disappear then.

A reference to earlier News stories of the chambers' "honesty" box and the councillors who know for sure there is such a thing as a free lunch.

No surprise that the Greenstapo would be adding to global warming by guffing out a load of unnecessary hot air - I wish just for once they'd shut up!! It was an advertising gimmick, a bit of fun - that's all. They even wanted to give the food to the homeless, but the Health & Safety Fascists won't allow it!! You couldn't make it up

Think of all the sandwiches you could buy for the price of the trams.

The Squirrel, Princes St Gardens

You're probably wondering where the tram rants are. Right after the following comments about the lack of further funding for the Science Festival . . .

It would be a real pity if the festival was unable to continue. We went to the Wonderama event last year and it was well worth the time and money. I suppose the council could save the money that the Science Festival may need and use on it something ridiculous and pointless as usual. The Science Festival is far too useful and informative for Edinburgh I suppose!

Zugspitze

I took my kids to this for years and it was fun and informative . . . but now they are grown up. Much better to spend money on importing trees from Germany for the Grassmarket, or pedestrian traffic lanes on Princes Street

Tunnelling has started for a trams underpass at the Gogar Roundabout

Can we just chuck all the tram supporters into the hole to keep them quiet? Actually, it won't need to be too big a hole at all. It would only need to be big enough to fit about 5 posters at the EEN, plus a few half-wit councillors.

Skip McClendon

What I don't understand is that there's never any money to provide road underpasses yet whatever the toy train set wants, it gets.
