…but pretty funny nonetheless
You know you’ve lived in Edinburgh too long when…
1) You haven’t heard a Scottish accent in a week…in fact you might not even know any Scottish people
2) You once snogged 50 people at Hogmanay on Princes Street, but now refuse to go back to the street party.
3) You’re genuinely surprised when you meet someone who was born in Edinburgh
4) You have Darius’s number on your mobile
5) You think Trainspotting was set in Govan
6) Salt and Sauce on your chips is normal
7) You’ve been to Penny Blacks and Pizza Paradise but never to the castle or the zoo
You remember when Revolution used to be Century2000 and Bar OZ used to be Oddfellows
9) You support Scotland AND England at football – but prefer a game of rugby
10) You know everyone’s mobile and email address but don’t know their second name or home address
11) The Festival is your least favourite time of year even though you sublet your rat infested box room to 9 aussies.
12) The cost of paying off all your outstanding parking tickets is more than the value of your car
13) You know how Cockburn Street should really be pronounced
14) The stench of hops from the Caledonian Brewery becomes ‘rather pleasant’, and doesn’t remind you of pot noodles any more
15) You’ve shagged at least 3 people who work at Standard Life
16) You’ve never been in your communal back garden even though you pay £20 a month towards getting the grass cut
17) You don’t think there’s anything wrong with paying more for a 1 bedroom flat than Hibs paid for their latest star player
18) You know all the lyrics to ‘brown eyed girl’ and ‘I think we’re alone now’
19) You know there is a ‘no dog’s allowed’ sign at Greyfriars Church (no really there is!)
20) You believe that Thomas Burberry tartan was worn by William Wallace at Bannockburn
21) You call a can of deodorant a ‘Glasgow shower’
