Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

The day before the Fringe is set to begin. The city is quickly filling up with comedians. An overview of the state of Edinburgh:

- The weather is so bad that this morning, you couldn't see the Castle from Princes Street. It is known locally as Jack The Ripper weather.
- The electricity has currently failed on Queen Street, George Street and Rose Street - the three streets leading up to Princes Street, and some of the main thoroughfares in the city.
- Posters are appearing everywhere with gay abandon and, frighteningly, someone is already flyering for their show on a side street from where I work.
- Goths banned from Princes Street Gardens after a group were "seen kicking a bin".
- Christmas Decorations go on sale today as part of the infamous "Santa Wars".
- I think I just saw Wayne Sleep walking past The Assembly Rooms.
