QUIZ NEWS: West Port Oracle back tonight after fest break. Oz Bar will restart next week.
============
You might know Scott from either Brass Leith or Brass Shore. Tall feller. Anyway, Scott’s doing a half-marathon

Not an easy thing, but it’s to raise money in honour of his nephew Cameron who was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome at age three months.

I’d never heard of this but I’ve just done the briefest of reads on Wiki about Rett Syndrome and it is not nice. Cameron is still very young. It’s a hard road for his family.

So all I’m doing with today’s post is linking to Scott’s fundraising page. I’ve made a donation, maybe you could too. He’s aiming for £1000 and is doing pretty well so far. Let’s get him over the line. (Money goes to Reverse Rett - a charity specialising in this rare condition and making the lives of these kids a bit better).

Note: If you’re seeing this on Instagram, I don’t think they do links, but if you have a look at the facebook version of this post, you’ll see it there, or you can message me.

It’s September, North Bridge is open. Princes Street is open. All the festival people have boarded their Lumos back to London. All the quizzes are back on.

What’s that I hear outside my window? Why, it’s the sound of little birds singing in harmony with a choir of angels.

I haven’t felt this good since Kenny McLean from the half way line.

Happy September!

NOTE: earlier time for Ryans tonight: 7pm start
===========
I got some skin tags removed on Friday. Little wibbly bits of skin that had somehow grown outwards and become annoying. Apparently they’re fairly common, benign, harmless.
They were burnt off by some method using “plasma” which the person told me was “two hundred degrees centigrade.”

It’s a funny one, being able to smell your own burning flesh (and paying for the privilege - the NHS have stopped removing skin tags as it is “cosmetic”).

The person doing this was Polish and she was telling me about the differences in the Polish health service compared to the NHS. Basically, it’s better over there but she did say the bedside manner is better here.

“If you’re on a ward in Poland and you ask for a piece of toast, the nurses, they will laugh at you.”
But, medically, you do get referred to the right person quickly. Swings and roundabouts.

Anyway, quizzes tonight:
