Edinburgh’s Singles of the Week: Christmas Miracles

The Christmas markets have started, you can hear the faint chime of Jingle Bells in the distance, and you’re wondering when it's socially acceptable to whip out that cosy Christmas jumper.

The start of the festive season means an endless soiree of social events, Christmas drinks and cosy Sundays spent watching old movies and eating Quality Street.

So, if you don’t want to be left doing a Bridget Jones, spending your Christmas explaining to distant relatives that you’re still single, then look no further. It's Singles of the Week.

Are you tall, dark, handsome and happen to be in a band? Or looking for a left-leaning girl? With a love for Louis Vuitton and all things superficially blonde and pink, then look no further.

Callum Sibley, 3rd year Sports and Recreation Management

If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?

Surely it has to be Roger Federer. The man is possibly the coolest human being to ever have lived, and an absolute GOAT of the sporting world.

Where are we most likely to find you?

Come exam time you would find me on the fourth floor of the library, but otherwise I spend my time in Prow every single week, without fail, as much as it pains me to say it.

What was your dream job when you were little?

I know most sporty lads like myself would normally say footballer, but from a young age I wanted to be a teacher. It seems really weird to me now, but for some reason it was something that just stuck in my head throughout school.

If you could live anywhere but the UK, where would you live?

Hong Kong is a pretty sick place, and I wouldn’t mind living there. Or South Africa would be an insane place to live.

The treble tramlines on the side of my head.

Do you have a type?

Someone who has a cool dress sense definitely.

This is an easy one – watching Ian Bell hit a cover drive for four. It’s quite possibly one of the most beautiful things to ever see.

How would you sum yourself up in a drink?

A venom. It's a real mixture of things, very Scottish, and although it doesn’t look exactly great on the outside, it's actually not that bad once you try it.

How would your friends describe you in three words?

Scottish, belter, thiccc.

What’s the first thing you would buy if you won the lottery?

A flat in Marchmont, purely so I don’t have to pay any more extortionate rent for the rest of uni. I'd also invest it in the love of my life – Heart of Midlothian football club.

So if you feel like you are willing to excuse the tramlines, can compete with his devotion to Midlothian football, and fancy a trip to South Africa, then maybe Callum’s the one for you.

Rocket propelled grenade.

With no clear type and simple tastes, Frazer doesn’t seem to be too picky. So if you’re looking for someone down to earth, then brush up on your Disney impressions. Who knows – you could be the Gwen Stacey to his Spiderman?
