I'm off to Edinburgh for a week (and then Leeds after that) doing depths for the pharmaceutical industry and I'm quite excited about the trip. Although I've made it into quite a few places around the planet (Junta or no Junta), and checked out a few locations that easily qualify for the 7 wonders of the world, I'm quite psyched about eventually visiting a place that if only for the Scottish enlightenment and its influence on the founding fathers of the United States is interesting in itself, but of course there is so much more. If anyone knows any bloggers/digital ramblers or agency/marketing types that might be interested in meeting up in the evenings I'm very much going to be up for some fresh air, insights into the place/people, lager or coffee. Expect random twitters to alleviate spreadsheet revolts and general monologue iteration wear and tear.
Many years ago, drunk in Edinburgh, I told a very nice American tourist that the Scott Memorial was constructed as a tribute to the legendary comedian Terry Scott and that once a year, on Scott's birthday, the one o'clock gun was silenced and a recording of the great man spluttering "Oh, June!" in an exasperated manner was played from loudspeakers throughout the city.
ReplyDeleteTry it.

ReplyDeleteWell how is Scotland then my son? And I LOOOOOOOVE your description of blogging, you are so right. Sadly, ha!
ReplyDeleteHowdy Rob. The Scots are great. Edinburgh is a jewel of a city and I'm staying in the kind of hotel room that is a bit sad to be on my own (needs a lovely lady to make it complete). I Fly back to London tonight!
