When your second-least-favourite person in Edinburgh collars you on the bus, and sits next to you, ignores your book, and launches into a conversation...try getting a howling cliché into every single statement you make, just to see if they will notice before you get the giggles.

It's a nice evening. I got off the bus a few stops early and walked. I just couldn't take it any more.

"second-least-favourite".

That's quite specific. Do you have all of us ranked?

It was a list of one, but it grew to two this evening.

(p.s. not seen you in several ice ages! can we fix that soon?)

Hahaha, I actually thought it was someone you already knew... and was thinking how clueless they must be!

Would be fab to see you and your absurd back muscles. I am also very aware that I still have some DVDs and a video I am long overdue returning. And a bunch of past-its-sell-by-date photo paper as well.

Actually, come to that, if you are free this weekend at all you should come to see Debbie's play. She's directing the adaptation of Angela Carter's "Nights at the Circus" at tePooka HQ until Sunday and it sounds like it will be wonderful.

ooooooh! That sounds a bit fab (it's one of my favourite novels, too). Will try to make it on Saturday evening, after a printing sesh at Stills.

I swear I think you and Debbie were separated at birth. I'm going to see it tonight so would be fab if you're there! Details are:

19:30
TePOOKa ('The Big Red Door')
10 Lady Lawson Street
And they suggest a donation of £5.

BTW, might be worth reserving tickets (07527749790) as I understand first night went brilliantly and they may be expecting a crowd tonight.

Yeah, the first night was almost full, and I thought it was about 90% excellent (though I haven't read the book, and can't judge against that)... so it would indeed probably be wise to reserve tickets - although our efforts to reserve them last night seem to have come to nowt, only got through to answerphone and the message didn't seem to get through.

When moaning about anything these days, I like to finish with, "...and what's Gordon Brown doing about it? Nothing!"
