There's me gearing up to write a nice cathartic blog rant about the MetroNet strike and what a pain in the arse it is, and before I've got ample opportunity to vent it, they've gone and called the strike off.

Last night I'm out having a nice chinese dinner in Chinatown (don't even get me started on this – they must have different menus for regulars, and for people who obviously look like chumps, because extremely rare is the occasion when I can profess to having had a good meal in Chinatown), and my phone…

We're shifting offices tomorrow. It's pretty weird to change workplaces without changing jobs, and I'm not sure how I'll cope with the loss of being able to peer out the window at Big Ben whenever I want to know what time it is. What's weirder is that we're the only ones left on this floor,…

OK, I promised blogging every day in September that I am in London (primarily on the grounds that I'm off morris dancing this weekend and am going to be far too busy doing what we do on those weekends to get near a PC). Whether this will prove to be a good long-term strategy is…

You're right Paul, that was bloody disgusting.

Finally, regarding Edinburgh: Potted Potter – 2 young guys have created an intensely paced & fun anthology show whereby they sum up the entire Harry Potter series (Book-a-Minute style) in an hour. There's nothing complex about it, and the jokes are reasonably formulaic, but it's still really, really good fun. Jeff plays the bespectacled boy…

The crew here at Culture Central were just saying how our trip here thus far had been missing any really weirdo avant garde interactive theatre wank. Today, however, redressed that balance. Six Women Standing In Front Of A White Wall – certainly did what it said on the tin. 6 women in pink chiffon dresses…

G'day eager young space cadets! Quick summary of yesterday's Edinburgh shows (MAN I love my life!): Dickens Unplugged – superb 5 man show presenting the works of one of England's most famous authors, as well as his life. In the style of The Complete Abridged History of Shakespeare it's a rapid potted presentation, hilariously skipping…

Big day here at Edinburgh – our first day at the festival, and we've been to 6 shows already. We'd have been to 8, except that the traffic coming up from London sucked majorly and we didn't quite get in with enough time to get to the Tripod gig. Of all the things we had…

Despite Transport for London's best attempts to prove otherwise, I'm off to Edinburgh for the weekend to go to the Festival & Fringe. Woo.
