You Can't Ride Around With A Tiger On Your Bike One man-cub, one motorbike. And a tiger-striped poncho, just in case.

How cool do these buildings look? Tim Burton would like.

See that tall crooked building in the middle? It's the oldest building in Edinburgh. Used to be the rich would live at the bottom, and the poorer families would live higher up. It's the reverse nowadays, but the reason behind it used to be that if there was a fire, and there was always something burning back then, the rich could get out easier while the poor people would have to jump. They would of course aim to land on a rich person to break their fall. One of the benifits of living up in the higher floors was that you had fantastic views of the poor pepoles bedrooms opposite your house, and you could throw your poo onto peoples hats in the street.
