Is a pupil in a class of 25 in trouble? Are fireworks to blame for falling masonry? Are builders scared of ghosts or work?

Parents call the prospect of primary one class sizes of 30 in city schools a 'body blow to schools and education'. Anyone wish to register their opinion pro or con?

Funny how parents want small class sizes, but when they are told their child won't get into the school that they want because the classes are full, they kick off.

Labour promised classes of less than 30 pupils for their entire time in government and did nothing, when I was at school class sizes were above 30 pupils and we did pretty well, kids have got to want to learn.

Labour initially doubted whether lowering class sizes was even necessary. Too much parent choice. Kids should go to their local school or else parents can pay for a posh one.

I've just looked out an old photo, there were 38 in my class and my school was approved!

Dismissed. Hundreds more hotel rooms are likely to be created as three projects look set to be green-lit.

The thought of an easyHotel in Edinburgh actually sounds dreadful. Sure it is great to offer affordable rooms if it were to be used by proper tourists but I suspect it will simply be a case of more hen/stag nights paying 25 between 6 people and then running riot up and down the halls debasing themselves.

A hotel in Leith belonging to Stelios sounds good, but let's hope it won't be called and easyHotel. Having said that, it might be very busy.

An easyHotel spoiling a Grade B listed building on Princes Street! Some pearl in the string! Such vision by the council!

easyTiger. Elsewhere a great-grandfather felt he was the 'luckiest man in Tollcross' after being knocked to the ground when a chunk of masonry fell from a city rooftop.

A lot of buildings in Edinburgh are a ticking time bomb.

Here's an idea – stop setting off tons of fireworks twice a year in the city centre! They'll never get rid of the fireworks. I've been saying it for years but this city is now being run for the benefit of visitors and tourists. The people who live here and pay the ever-increasing bills come a very poor second.

How do you expect to be heard with all the noise from those fireworks?

If the luckiest man in Tollcross gets hit by falling rocks, how unlucky are the rest of the people in Tollcross?

Builders are cowering, but not from falling objects – they're hearing spooky noises as they transform a church into a bar!

Very good marketing ploy, are they doing ghost tours of the pub?

Sounds like people trying to skive off and coming up with any excuse they can. Don't be afraid of the big bad ghosties, grow a set and get some work done.

Rats, mice and now ghosty ghoulies. It's the trams I tell ye! They've unleashed the dark side.

I have to say, Rutland Place isn't one of my usual haunts.
