OFITG,
We had a great time last year at the Fringe .
We went into Edinbutgh quite a few times for some of the Comedy stuff.
The highlight for us was Danny Bhoy.
I was looking forward to some of this years events and I can't find anyone in the programme that I would like to see :-( :-(

Danny Bhoy is not very well known in Scotland.. but. he does seem to be popular with in Australia and Canada though??

There is a brill sketch somewhere about a pub crawl in Edinburgh.... his observations on groups of girls had me crying with laughter
:-D :-D

Edit:
Found it but it's only a small bit of the sketch

LOLOLOL :-D

I just watched Danny Bhoy....... meeting the Queen.

:-D

This one ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnBAXMiIiis ..... it's TRUE about the Queensland cockroaches and the Fruit Police!

:-D


Must look for the pub crawl.......

Told you.... he is more popular abroad than in his own country!
I find him very funny

Show we saw last year was called "Dear Epsom" all about his letters of complaint to various companies!
:-D :-D

Don't get me wrong, the Edinburgh Festival, the Military Tattoo, and the Fringe is good for Edinburgh and the Scottish economy and it only disrupts things for a few weeks, well worth the disruption :-)

On the subject of pub crawls, done my share of them in my younger days, my most memorable, well what I can remember of them, were from Holyrood Palace to the Castle esplanade, from Elm Row down Leith Walk to the bottom of Constitution Street in Leith, and from the St Andrews Square end of Rose Street to the Charlotte Square end of Rose Street - I think I could do them quicker these days as I have a mobility scooter :-D :-D :-D

Afternoon all,

George I can see Foggy now pulling his hair out :-D

Thanks all for links folks had not seen those before.

Have a good day.

Emma :-)

There were in my young day 17 pubs in Rose Street. My office was at the St Andrew Square end of George Street, so we got to the Pubs quickly after work, The Abbotsford being the nearest.

This is for OFITG.....
Just been out for a family lunch .. a lovely wee restaurant near Stewarton in Ayrshire.

I had steak and ale pie...... and it had whole, link sausages in it!

It was delicious but I am soo stuffed that I can hardly move.

I was still rather full from the huge Birthday buffet we had last night for my daughter .

It's OH's birthday next weekend... help!

:-D :-D

Robert I worked in George St. My goodness you wouldn't believe Rose Street could change so much over the years we used to sneak out of the office for a hot sausage roll from one wee shoppie there oh it was good! :-D

Nolls, did we work in the same Office? or in the same line of business?

If we keep this up we could be related!!!

You never know .. I worked for the MOW ministry of works not called that now think it was 122 G.St. a long time ago :-)

Nolls, I worked in the Building on the corner of George Street and St Andrew Square backing onto Rose Street.

I was at the other end near Charlotte Sq. you were near the Insurance Office was it the Standard I wonder or bank at other side of road :-D On the other hand it might have been years later after me lol!

Standard Life was on the other side of the road. Mine was the Art Deco building on the other corner.

Got you I know it :-D

What's the bet that Nolls and Robert do actually know each other?

GlasgowLass - the truth will out :-D :-D :-D

Now, now Glasgow Lass - behave!!!

It is possible because Nolls lived at one side of the Prison and I lived at the other side.

We both worked in George Street, Nolls at one end I worked at the other.

But then I am so much older than Nolls by a long, long way.

I worked in Glasgow (Gordon Street) many years ago so I could even know you Glasgow Lass!!!

Very Possible Robert... I worked in St Vincent St .

Ah But Robert I went to the dancing in Glasgow every fortnight with friend she came to Edin every other w/end The Alambra was one can't remember the others as for being older definitely don't think so :-D :-D
ps Who said anything about being on the other side of Saughton ..(shh I was inside heehee)

We've clicked GlasgowLass. Our Office was in St Vincent street before we moved to Gordon Street.
