I just found out that you can apparently get fined £50 for throwing rubbish on the floor in this crazy town. I wonder if you get fined for throwing bits of Edinburgh onto the floor? Eh?
I do like Edinburgh really. It's a pretty city (which rhymes, hoorah).

I did wonder why the streets were so clean (compared to London where you can't walk 10 yards (yards? Why did I just say 'yards'? Have I suddenly become middle aged? I don't even know what a yard is...other than a square area of ground outside a building) without falling over an irritating little child throwing his McDonalds packaging at a tramp.

There was a very small child in my show today - can't have been older than seven or eight - sitting right on the front row. I play a seven year-old child at one point in the show, and I was sitting right in front of the child...I wonder if she thought it was an accurate representation?

I am sure that the clock on my computer has said '18.36' for about 10 minutes now. I just checked the clock on my phone and it said the same thing. What if all the clocks I own have stopped and I miss Tony Law?

That turned out not to be the case - the clock just changed to 18.37
The year of the infamous Suffolk Ham stabber (who ran through the streets of Lowestoft stabbing at bits of ham).
Not really of course. I am a MASSIVE LIAR.
It was actually 1888.

That was the year that Jack the Ripper did his naughty killings. I learnt this at Andrew O'Neill's show, what I did see last night. It was good, although when I tried to talk to him afterwards (he's a friend of mine) this Ripper-obsessed man who had been in the crowd came over and interrupted what I was saying to talk to Andrew...I then had to wait about 10 minutes for their conversation about numerous ripperologists and Lewis Carroll to finish before I could tell Andrew that I really had to go.

So yes - apparently someone thought Lewis Carroll might be Jack the Ripper. I don't believe that though. He was too busy posing for Victorian Menswear catalogues.

And poking little girls.

Oh no, what have I said

I meant 'painting'. Painting little girls.

There's a page about Lewis Carroll on my website.

I'm going now. See you later kidrocks x
