The car park of the Navy Club on Canonmills sells trees. That's where we get ours. Dece quality but double the price of an Ikea one. I guess there's value in knowing you wont bump into Acey types in the Ikea car park tho

Any suggestions as to where I might get a real, smelly (Xmas) tree. Don't particularly want to get on the bus with it so while Asda does have potted ones that smell of mild sweat I'll reluctantly go through the red neck of public transport. There's a place on Mayfield Road that sells them. It has a massive Santa outside on the street so you can't miss it.

Mayfield Road might be an option, especially if I rope my mate in who surely will be needing one too. Friday afternoon pre-drinking outing for a tree should keep the burds happy and allow longer Dean drinking time.

Got a real tree that lives in a big pot in the garden 51 weeks a year. It gets to share the comfort of inside for it's Christmas holiday.
It's getting a bit big now - but it's got a wee pal that'll take over the looking-nice duties soon. And mince pies are rank.

So close to a pozzy, but scored a disastrous last-second own goal with the final sentence.

Holy Corner has a big real tree sale thing. As has Gorgie Farm so you could pick one up on your way to the game.

In fact, I'm surprised that statement didn't receive one of your gleefully dished neggies. I've decided to break rank and if any cunt suggests non-traditional dishes for Xmas they're getting a red one!

Surprisingly well organised for Christmas presents this year, only got a couple of gifts left to get. My December pay might actually be used for myself this year :
