• Scott Mills the Musical At the Fringe
  I've lived in Edinburgh nearly 10 years, you';d think I'd know enough people now that blagging festival tickets would be a doddle. But no. People: I will do ANYTHING for a ticket to this - just one ticket, as no-one else I know likes Radio 1 DJ in-jokes. ANYTHING.

• Golden Eagle Project Scottish Borders
  Quite telling that despite the Scottish Borders having enough habitat to support 13 pairs of Golden Eagles, only one pair has succesfully raised young for the past 20 years, on land with a very co-operative landowner. To find out why Golden Eagles vanish everywhere else in the region (oh I wonder), their one fledged chick this year has been radio-tagged - this site gives info on the tagging project.

is it a comedy?

SARAH!!!OMG OMG OMG I didn't think I knew anyone who'd go see Scott Mills with me, he keeps me entertained on the A90 every night driving home - We need to sort this out and get tickets!!!!

[henriksdal.livejournal.com]

HURRAY! Have they even said how the tickets are being sold? I bet it's a random allocation, stupid BBC. Unless they weight it towards people who live in the local area..

[henriksdal.livejournal.com]

Yes, but it'll only make any sense if you listen to his radio show every evening whilst commuting..

[lizzie-and-ari.livejournal.com]

Ok, so you willing to write a review?

[henriksdal.livejournal.com]

YES YES YES. It's only on for three nights though.

I got 23. Since I don't spend my life poring over atlases and maps like when I was little, I've forgotten most of the counties names and/or locations.
