This online article is pointless and a waste of bandwidth (bet the aforementioned "choked toilet" was blocked with copies of EN).

You'll get the full story later on. Just hang on.

This is like the cliffhangers at the end of Neighbours...

Perhaps the tenant left it as he found it.

1 - haha that's a classic!

Okay.
There are manky folk out there.
Hardly news, though.

This was one tennent who was obviously lager than life.

7 - What, not like the news you have on your blog about all the bad areas of Edinburgh! What an advocate of your City you are...

I hope they recycle those cans.

Maybe if people like this were attired with the necessary gear and made to help clean up the filth they create, you never know, they might just stop believing that the world stinks!

Lager in the living room, cider in the bedroom......sounds like a well-disciplined sort of chap!

what a pig! He should have been made to clean it himself!

Wot a sad story. No doubt the tenant had mental health problems.

# 5, 7, 8, 13 & 14 - you should be ashamed of yourselves making comments like that.

its a shame if the guy had problems but judging by the amount of drink related stuff found in the flat he mustve been an alky or had one hell of a party,but on the other hand its not fair on tenants who do TRY to keep clean houses areas etc and of course some folk are just plain mingin,put em in a palace and it would be like a hovel a few days later.we have a female like that in our town,yed have to wipe yer feet on the way out of her house!

They should have a deposit on the cans like some States in the US and then they'd get them back - talk about product placement free advert for Tennants - there are other lagers out there Kronenburg, Stella, Fosters, Heineken etc........although guess T must have been on special .......

Compared to some of the flats l have had to go to in edin, this is a palace!!

An' tae think -- there's a showdown on another post wi' guys claiming they do their share o housewurk....

Well said Yane!

How does a relatively young man of 33 get a council flat anyway. He is single without dependents and presumably employed. Why does he need social housing? On the other hand the conditions of his flat reveal a desperately low level of any hope for a good life. He must be a candidate for some sort of social assistance. Is Scotland that bad that this is a typical example of social housing . I hope to god it isn't true.
If it is... the entire laissez faire attitude of the present government must be ended and home ownership must be vigourously encouraged. It's time we devised some sort of housing laws that prevented the obscene rise in housing costs that can occur when 'new colonists 'invade the country to buy up our housing inventory having retired from Southern Britain.

Although I hated Thatcher and all that she stood for...the one good thing that she did was to sell municipal housing to the occupiers in an attempt to break the dependency factor in housing. There is absolutely no neeed for a modern nation to provide housing for for gainfully employed citizens. Social housing must be a restricted benefit for those in absolute need who otherwise cannot meet the financial obligations of a free market. This provided that there is not an artificial external demand for housing that drives up housing costs beyond the reach of residents. Australia once had protective law that prevented this factor.

If the average family in Scotland cannot afford to buy a home of their own ...then we must examine the reasons and take action to combat this.

Of course we cannot do this until we shake offf the yoke of Whitehall government!...and Scotland is free to address it's own problems.

It's time!

has the guy in the middle just farted???? i was wondering why his mate had to put his mask on!!!!!

I cant believe someone had the stomache to drink tennants bloody lager
