The last time I saw someone assault a comedian, I was watching Andrew Maxwell and he got a pint of 80 shilling dumped on him at the Edinburgh Fringe. Ejected the offender and did the rest of the show topless! Don’t watch comedy if you can’t handle it. Don’t harass comics.

It’s so great being back in an office environment. Really enjoying the guy shouting into his phone in German next to me, another dude slurping and mouth-open-chewing at high volume behind me, and yet another guy making plans on the phone at deafening volume in front. #WeWork

I just ate a chicken tender in Ireland that was listed on the menu as being “super hot” and I think the sauce was ketchup. I’ve had glasses of milk that were spicier.

Each year at Turing Fest, dozens of students do a stellar job in helping run the conference. The deal is: work half the conf, attend half. We also teach them networking skills, make intros, host a volunteer party, & generally help them henceforth. Interested? Apply below

Every decade or so I need a new wallet. Something slim and durable. Have used a slimmy for last 20 years and wanted to try something new. Unfortunately, the Ridge isn’t great. Even worse - they lie about letting you return the wallet!

I love how the Edinburgh council is scratching its head on just how exactly we’re going to afford a modest wage increase for garbage men when we don’t have a tourist tax.

Any time I mention a tourist tax some weird army of hoteliers appears to argue that we will “drive tourists away” while forgetting that almost every tourist destination city in Europe has one. Also, overflowing dumpsters is going to drive tourists away a lot faster…

Try this out - ask anyone in your life who travels a lot what they think about European tourist taxes. Guaranteed more than 90% won’t even know what you’re talking about, despite paying them for decades. Seriously.

It’s incredible to me just how far the customer service at American Express has fallen. Used to be a premier brand with outstanding support. Now just another awful company to deal with.

Welcome to Scotland! Unfortunately you have arrived at Edinburgh airport and will need to wait over an hour for your bags! EDI is an airport that routinely fails at the basics. Edinburgh Airport
