Hmmm, after yesterday's Blip makes me think of the true meaning of "Strip Mall".

Oh, and finally...

- To perform a striptease.

Now, before Mary Whitehouses crawl out of the woodwork and swarm all over my blip I'd like to point out that the incredible Richard Feynman did admit to frequenting places like this. And, no, not an admission from a shoddy blog but he really did. Not that I'm saying what that means!

Edinburgh is not just posh Georgian facades. It is also an extremely tolerent and diverse city.

Now, why would I blip this? Do I nip into these places? No.

Do I think these places are bad? No.

Have I been in such places? Well, let me tell you a true story...

Imagine a strip bar in Portland, Oregan, USA, well...

That's a story for another blip.

Oh, by the way, "Collie" (sp?) - Thanks :-)

PS. Dropped off the prints of Jim and Phyllis from Wednesday's Blip to them this morning.
