ON THE UP
Polite flyer people
No matter that they are working for nothing, street publicists seem smilier than ever. Best bribe: a packet of jelly beans for the musical Baby Wants Candy.
Classy kilts
The chic kilt sported by the doorman at the Missoni Hotel is a welcome antidote to the drab affairs worn by pipers and tourists. It's a Missoni, of course, and we want one.
Chandeliers
With its stunning ceiling glassware, the Music Hall at the Assembly Rooms is probably the only venue in town where performers are regularly upstaged by the lighting.
DOWN WITH ...
The One Show
A bizarre hate campaign, masterminded by musical-comedy duo The Roaring Boys, is targeting BBC1's flagship show. Calling it "mind-numbingly mediocre", they picketed a live broadcast from the Pleasance Courtyard.
'Bitch'
It appears this word has now slipped into common usage as the comedians' go-to pejorative term for women. It must stop. Now.
Poster overkill
From big walls to the tiniest bollards, the same faces look out at you all over town. Worst culprits: comics Mark Watson and Jason Byrne.
