We only drink to be unsociableTHIS might come as a bit of a shock to the city’s revellers.Apparently, people in Edinburgh are less likely to go out for a drink than those in most other cities.The findings come from a survey by the website City Socialising and will probably surprise bar workers, taxi drivers, musicians and those who live in the centre.But then, this was also a survey that – after deciding Glasgow was the UK’s least “social” city – dubbed its residents “wallflowers”.James risks getting filthyHE’S riding high in Hollywood and has made the critics swoon with spellbinding performances.But James McAvoy has confessed he fears tarnishing his big screen career by playing the role of a depraved Edinburgh policeman.The former Shameless star is set to play Bruce Robertson, the ne’er-do-well cop from Irvine Welsh’s hit novel Filth, and says he is taking the biggest risk of his career.“It’s an incredible role for me, unlike anything I’ve ever done and a massive challenge,” he said. “One I hope I don’t dash myself on. If you stop taking risks, then you get bored, or you just keep playing the same part, over and over again. Eventually audiences get bored of that as well.” Shooting begins in January.Still licensed to thrillIT won’t come as much of a surprise to his fans, but Sean Connery has been named “Best Bond” by a new generation of 007 fans – nearly 50 years after his debut.The study was commissioned by the makers of video game GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, and found that Fountainbridge’s most famous son was the favourite of nearly one-third of the 2000 people surveyed. The results were based on a number of factors, including the number of gadgets used and women kissed. “Connery is the classic Bond in many ways,” said a spokesman.It’s a Private matter..EDINBURGH City Council has received some unwelcome recognition from Private Eye over its handling of the tram project.The satirical magazine announced the winners of the Rotten Borough awards – given to local authorities they believe have wronged the taxpayer – and has awarded the council an “End of the Line” accolade.The council has been recognised alongside legal bullies, fighting councillors and Cotswold District Council, which spent £19,000 on motivational talks for staff conducted by a magician.12:01
