I've never been. I have to wear this damn tag for the moment, so Edinburgh is out of my range. When I'm free of it I intend to carry on stalking Mr Fry (only joking.)
Try:
Jerry Sadowitz, The Erpingham Camp by Joe Orton (starring Johnny Vegas), Arnold Brown, The Japanese Beatles, Skitters(www.skitters.co.uk), Terry Titter and Count Arthur Strong, Bob Doolally: A Life In Football (www.thestand.co.uk) and Trevor Lock (haven't seen him, just heard good reports). I'm going to see The Auto Boosh cause I want to judge them for myself. I've only ever seen the one with the strange eyes on Gas (and admittedly he did need twatting then, but I have an open mind, almost).
Anyone going up for the whole time and looking for somewhere to stay - we could gang up and look together. Or anyone any suggestions of who I could approach about finding somewhere for all of August?

Good luck finding somewhere!
Accommodation wise it's definitely best to know someone in Edinburgh, or else have wads of cash, as you will no doubt be ripped off by any commercial letting agents.
My advice to you, if you want somewhere cheap, is to find some students who need flat-mates.
Try looking in any of the local newspapers or (long shot) phoning Edinburgh University student accommodation office... You never know...
I'm glad I live there already - my problems are solved!

>Jerry Sadowitz,
I have tickets already! :0)
>The Erpingham Camp by Joe Orton (starring Johnny Vegas),
Not too sure about Johnny Vegas... My drunk friends generally tend to be more amusing...
>Terry Titter and Count Arthur Strong
I think I saw these guys on TV and if I remember correctly, I found them humourless...
Are they of the 'critically acclaimed' genre?
>I'm going to see The Auto Boosh cause I want to judge them for myself.
I was thinking of going to check that one out too.
My main problem is that most of my friends are down south and I don't want to go to shows by myself...
Well, in actual fact, going myself doesn't bother me so much as going back home by myself afterwards, as it will no doubt be late.
Damn, I need a car.
Oh no. Cue lots of offers to provide Ailie with transport in return for accomadation
oops - I meant accommodation
>Oh no. Cue lots of offers to provide Ailie with transport in return for accomadation
My last posting wasn't a hint, by the way.
If you're going to be staying in the town centre, I reckon you'd have to be certifiable to bring a car.
Allie I really admire your survivalist attitude. Good luck over the summer. Edinburgh is beautiful.
>Allie I really admire your survivalist attitude.
AAAARRGGHHH! The cardinal sin - you spelt my name wrong!
Many have come close to death for such a slip of the finger.
:0)
Is survivalist a word, by the way?
I don't really need to 'survive' as such. I just need a car.
I'm so bloody sick of my bike and I'm definately not fit enough to cycle into Edinburgh. (It's a fair distance)
I shall stop my moaning now and try to find something more productive to do...

>Is survivalist a word, by the way?
Probably not, but is 'Ailie'?
>Probably not, but is 'Ailie'?
It's been my name for twenty years, so it must be!

Then this must also be proof that dyslexia is a word. :)
>Then this must also be proof that dyslexia is a word. :)
Was there ever any doubt about that?
I was thinking about dyslexia the other day... Isn't it strange that they use a difficult word to spell, as the name for the condition?
Why not a three or four letter name instead?
Yes. Sometimes I have these thoughts...
>Isn't it strange that they use a difficult word to spell, as the name for the condition?
Yes, and paraplegia. Though the fact inherent leg movements wouldn't really impair spelling sort of defeats my attempt at irony doesn't it?
I really should start to practice the art of thinking that you have developed so well. :)
>I really should start to practice the art of thinking that you have developed so well. :)
Don't be too hasty.
I think I'm on the verge of being locked away...

Is this thought the result of excess thinking? Must be difficult to strike that balance between an amount of intelligable thinking and paranoia about how much you are thinking. Something to think about...
>Is this thought the result of excess thinking?
No this thought is the result of public perception of my thinking.
>>Is this thought the result of excess thinking?

>No this thought is the result of public perception of my thinking.
So you think the public are telekenetic?
>>No this thought is the result of public perception of my thinking.

>So you think the public are telekenetic?
No. I think they are acutely aware of the strangeness of some of my thoughts.

By what means? You'll be saying they all know how to spell your name correctly next...

My concentration span became piss-poor when I got sick last year and it's still getting back on track. My mind tends to wander to keep itself active and I have some odd thoughts from 'over thinking.' Generally people don't get it or get the humour of my thoughts in the same way that I do... Therefore the perception of me as odd, although I prefer the term 'quirky!' :0)

Well staying at home and watching Richard and Judy can do that. I hope you recover and any flashbacks of Raj Persode aren't too much to deter the thought process.
>My concentration span became piss-poor when I got sick last year
I would like to clarify that this was not through mental illness!
Thank you.

May I ask a personal question?
Was this around the same time you started to appreciate the comedy of Mark Lamar?
Ha ha... Cheeky bastard!
The most humourous thing is that the answer to that is yes!
Well, at least that's when the whole website thing started!
That is very humorous! And humour generated from Mark Lamar's existance...I can feel my irony sensor beginning to work!
P.S I hope we're not becomming the new John! and Suii.
>P.S I hope we're not becomming the new John! and Suii.
The thought had been playing on my mind...
Hands up who finds us irritating!

Come Ailie hold it together this isn't time for a schizophrenic outbreak. Especially not a selves-loathing one.
I vary between having an inflated ego and being self-depreciative.
I irritate myself.
>I irritate myself.
Are you sure it's not your unnatural involvement with pants?
pantophile
My hand is up.
Mind you, I can talk. I'm the most irritaing person on the site.
Fake Ailie, who invited you to this thread? And anyway I just think you are bitter because Ailie is mine now.
>Ailie is mine now.
Eh?!!!
What is going on that I don't know about?
Ah don't deny it Ailie. We've shared a pant enthusiasm.
>Ah don't deny it Ailie. We've shared a pant enthusiasm.
So relationship wise, what does this make us?
*shudder*
I am scared.
Fake Ailie is just jealous. It's school-boy anger. He can see he's not the only one who's had a tussel with you. :)
>He can see he's not the only one who's had a tussel with you. :)
Thanks. That makes me sound like the forum slapper...
Ailie why so hard on yourself? Do you feel guilt for liking Lamaar?
>Do you feel guilt for liking Lamaar?
Anticipate my answer to that one...
Er...will it be 'Hello I'm young, free and single and love being part of a comedy community! After all that's what your twenties are all about aren't they?'
seriously though Ailie, have a fantastic time in Edinburgh. :O)
Thank you.
I will! :0)
