Stage left..

We met Steve about a year ago at our friends Riad's wedding reception. He's been out from London a couple of times since and each time we've hung out with him it's been very cool. So naturally we were excited to hear that he was going to join up with us Friday night in Edinbugh and travel back down to Londontown with us.

Enter Steve. And within minutes of his arriving Steve, who is handsome and charming by trade, quickly works his magic and pulls some of Scotland's finest.
It turns out that Edinburgh is a popular destination for Stag and Hen parties (read: bachelor/bachelorette) and in this case 18th birthday parties as well (equivalent to our 21st birthday due to the drinking age being 18 in the UK).
Apparently the tradition is to dress up in goofy outfits and get drunk. Which when you consider Scotish daily life (kilts, bagpipes, and beer) seems par for course.
Anyway, in addition to the bunnies shown here we saw a Rugby team theme, a 'goofy hats and toy guns' theme, a Star Wars theme, and other assorted goofery.
What's best about this picture is the large girl in the front left with the take away basket of chips.
