Next director general of BBC

[Viv]

Another week..... and one of my faves.... the EDINBURGH week !!! :hahaha:

I sort of wish there could be another musical/dance spectacular with the Hoff involved, but will no doubt wind up enjoying viewing stuff online and reading about who they are !!!

If you are in or close to Edinburgh, I would recommend 100% you go to something .... lovely atmosphere - last year my cousin and I went to a one-man theatre production up in a completely random attic - guy with a mop for a prop - and it was actually bloody brilliant !!

As TOTDS has said in his interview on the Home Page, the Festival is all about discovering something that little bit different. He seems to be looking forward to "East End Cabaret", which, I have to say, I don't fancy @ all, but you never know. That is the thing about the festival. You find new types of Shows you would normally just dismiss.

If you miss out on tix at all, check out www.pleasance.co.uk and go to the Edinburgh section, and you can still go see something else !! :hahaha: Or go to the "Pleasance" area of the Festival itself where there are people desperate for you to go see one of their Shows, so it is VERY EASY to get a ticket to something.

On the brekkie Show this morning, Vernon Kay has declared Scott an official ambassador for the Edinburgh Festival, and I suspect this may be true !! :hahaha: Check out Scott on the RED BUTTON from 1 pm and 10 pm each night.

PLUS: want some atmosphere right now?? Click on the link below for a guy playing bagpipes. Oddly enough, he looks like an older version of Mills. Weird... really weird.

What i would like to know.... Every time r1 use the red button, there is NO SOUND. So, have to have an actual radio playing at the same time. What happens: analogue v digital... Everything is out of sync. that said, it is nice to see actual faces and i didn't realise chris stark has such a nice smile.

The red button feed worked fine for me yesterday during the show.. The website feed seems to be out-of-sync though.

[Viv]

That is the thing. How many times have they done this now, and it STILL gets mucked up.

Gutted I missed Rhod Gilbert on the webcam Love him. Already seen The Man With The Flaming Battenburg Tatto, it was incredibly funny!

[Viv]

I thought people may appreciate just one of the large number of jokes off of Vernon's Show this morning:-

Q: What happened when Adele fell into a vat of maccaroni?

A: She was rolling in the dip. :hahaha: megalolz - happy Wednesdays - I LOVE that joke.

[Viv]

One thing I am enjoying watching online @ the mo is Tim Vine at the Fringe. :hahaha: - Who is that continually breying like a donkey in the audience though?!? :-0

Actually, in all honesty, it is the only thing I see I like (o dear).

Watch the vids via R1's website, if you have missed them. www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/

I've started doing this thing while listening to the podcast - counting how many times Scott mentions you can watch them on the website/red button.

[Viv]

:hahaha: How many have you got to so far?

After being mucked up then pretty much 'dumped on my ass' last night, I could do without the song by Mills in my head "Take A Look At My Enormous Penis"... round + round + round my head all morning so far.

Make. It. Stop. :-(

[R94N]

I lost count on Monday. I haven't seen any of the cabarets yet so I'm yet to be mentally affected by anything that has happened in them.

[Viv]

I am gonna stop watching now incase i get taken away by the scary white van. had a quick shot on the red button today, but didn't like grimmy's stuff either. apparently all the milk they were using last nite had curdled. Gross. hats off to them for freaking at that though.

[Viv]

For NOT freaking out, I mean.
