A member of a theatre group, lost in the Royal Mile, asking around

… Excuse me, you haven’t seen a bunch of Indians dancing to STEPS, have you? …

Overheard at the Underbelly, by a staff member of the Box Office

… Well, that’s my fifteen minutes of sunshine for the day, not back to the cave. …

From article written by John Watson on the Edinburgh Evening News, August 5th 2008

…Within the limits of the law, you can come to Edinburgh and put on vistually any show you like. If you’re a critic you can just as readily pan a performance as praise it to the heights of Arthur’s Seat …

A couple chatting while on the queue to see Felix Dexter

… I love Edinburgh! It’s like a smaller, friendlier version of London, only surrounded by mountains. …

A girl flyring people waiting at the queue to Rhod Gilbert

… I’m going to give you a flyer, since I feel I should… Sigh… It’s the most demoralising thing I have ever done…

From Fiona O’Loughlin (when she met the Queen)

… It was nice and all, but I mean, come on, I’m Irish! We are supposed to blow them up, not have tea with them! …
