2026/07/31

Odysseus’s legendary ten-year journey home from the Trojan War? More like a booze-fueled party gone sideways. With modern tech, the trip would’ve taken days—not decades of divine delays and mythical monsters. His wife Penelope probably had enough. The real story? They got lost in celebration, spun wild tales to explain the delay, and Odysseus, master storyteller, turned seven years with a nymph into a myth. Sometimes the greatest adventures are just glorified excuses—and who hasn’t stretched

Westfield Court, a 70-year-old apartment block in Gorgie, won’t be listed by Historic Environment Scotland — clearing the way for demolition.
