to think that the festival attracts a certain sort of rude arsewipe?

Came out of our tenement the other day and there was a post it on the door saying

"Please Mr postman/lady do not buzz our flat to get in as we are out very late at the festival and don't want to be woken up!"

I was a bit taken aback as we never get our post before 10.30am and generally later. Not exactly the crack of dawn.

Then today another note on the door:

"Right Postman. DO NOT BUZZ our flat to get access we are renting for the festival and have been woken up EVERY FUCKING DAY"

I strongly wanted to ring their bell (it was 8am, so even worse than the postie) and kick their sorry pseudo bohemian arses. I really don't think postman ought be addressed like that when he is just doing a job.

How hard is it to ignore a doorbell anyway?

I can do it.

I have to say that as you wont answer the question. Dont you think the money saved on the Parliament and now the trams could have been spent on the causes that you referred to in your 'previous posts'??

HaggisNeepsnTatties · 21/08/2009 23:48

Simple.

scottishmummy · 21/08/2009 23:51

MorrisZapp · 21/08/2009 23:53

It would be more entertaining if you said 'simples', like Mr Meerkat.

Just a thought.

(steps back out)

HaggisNeepsnTatties · 21/08/2009 23:54

Yep, still no idea what you are talking about....

Perhaps you could 'illuminate' me?

blinks · 21/08/2009 23:55

i'm one of the only people from edinburgh who has actually been IN the festival.

and worked with Stuart Lee.

and just the mere mention of Bing Hitler invoked flashbacks a-go-go. god bless craig ferguson

blinks · 21/08/2009 23:56

should read- am one of the only people I KNOW who has actually been in the festival.

scottishmummy · 21/08/2009 23:57

lordy aren't you crabbit.im offsky to bed

i shan't be troubled by the external cladding of Scottish parliament nor i hope shall you
for the billionth time

HaggisNeepsnTatties · 21/08/2009 23:59

Yes, off you go to bed.

While you are there you may think of an answer to my question? If not, perhaps youy could ask your friend.....Vicky Pollard was it? She may have the answer. Have you already 'illuminated' her??

MorrisZapp · 21/08/2009 23:59

So glad somebody else remembers Bing Hitler!

He just wasn't as funny in that hairdressing film was he.

Ah, salad days. (I get so nostalgic about this stuff. Sometimes I wish it was the late 80's forever

chichichien · 22/08/2009 00:05

who was that awful groovy mango guy?

chichichien · 22/08/2009 00:05

looked like whicker

scottishmummy · 22/08/2009 00:09

never heard of hing bitler.whicker man?is that bamboo in Scottish parliament.

blinks · 22/08/2009 00:11

the hairdressing film wasn't a high point... then there was the pishy film with charlotte church (or did i imagine that?)

i remember literally pissing myself at an uncensored cassette my big brother got his hands on. it seems edgy at the time but might be tame by today's standards.

funny as fuck though.

SneakyMcSneak · 22/08/2009 13:03

Anyone in Edinburgh, get yourself down to the Tempting Tattie and buy a spud at 1.45.

mawbroon · 22/08/2009 13:57

1.45pm or £1.45 ???

girlylala0807 · 22/08/2009 14:32

I too love the festival,

However, I have to sit in Edinburgh Uni library to revise for exams and all I can bloody hear is people walking past shouting trying to advertise their shows!!

Next summer, when I do exams at normal time, I will try and enjoy.

I would ring the buzzer just to piss them off

zippy539 · 22/08/2009 22:38

Give us the address - I'm going round tomorrow 3 am, finger poised.
