Potato
In the fourth of our live, daily podcasts from the Underbelly in Edinburgh, we reach a new level of surreal whimsy and timewasting as the enormity of the task really starts to sink in. But what a tremendous audience, especially Colin from Arbroath with all his "highers", whatever they are. We discuss, among other issues, the lack of fanfare for the countdown to the apocalypse ie. when we all have to use energy-efficient lightbulbs to appease some killjoys in Brussels (as noticed exclusively by the Daily Mail) and the fact that some animals ride on other animals' backs. I also allow Richard to roadtest his Beckett-style play for the Fringe 2010 about the Mars Bar. This podcast is possibly a modern classic, possibly complete toss, but it certainly led to a truly phenomenal "happening" outside the Tempting Tattie, where 100 or so people queued to get their jacket potato, thus "breaking" the establishment twice. Thanks to all who took and posted pics via Twitter. Incidentally, we remain almost-lucratively sponsored by Profanity App, which is selling like hot apps.Underbelly queue photo with view of the Ladies: Gordon Hodgson

I believe I'm due 2 photo credits, actually, but I'll take this as sufficient payment:

I can bring some Green Party joiners leaflets tomorrow if you'd like to help me recruit.
Thanks for the biscuit. I had to explain to some ladies on the walk up to the Tattie (I left when I realised there were enough people up there and I didn't want a potato) that I'm actually not a perv, and am only playing at being a stalker for these 5 days because I think it's funny.
When this is all over, I'll go back to the national library of Scotland and think about ethnic nationalism and anti-Semitism and only send you two twitter replies when I want you to plug the Green Party.
Oh, and it's another short one... The same length as 2 days ago...
Apparently the underbelly were the vaults for Edinburgh Central Library in the dim and distant past.
I seem to remember AC or RH asking what the venue used to be before it was converted for comedy

Still trying to have sex.
Presumably the Tempt ng Tattie will be over stocked on Monday as they will be expecting another Podcast audience.
Will they have a BOGOF offer to get rid of their surplus stock?

Surley the Profanity app is selling like a hot potato! After you broke the Tattie twice today.

Disappointed I couldn't stay for a Tattie but I had to bundle Andrew into a car and whisk him off to my sex lair in the Highlands for carnal happenings.
I might vote Green too. It's a shame your advertising Lucozade and Mars Bars it is weak of you to sell yourselves to the devil. You need to detox that evil mainstream trash eg starbucks and Preach more about healthy things like oatmilk and fairtrade bananas. What would Naomi Klein say Andrew?
Tried to make a joke to Andreww about how Stuart Maconie has gone down hill (then meaning to point to Richard), though managed to fail and insult the mighty Mr C instead.
I think the break went well, saw the tattie man attempt to nut Richard, which as I understand is like loving buming round here.
I'd ask for a photo credit as well but I'm
too humble. No, really. And I've also put on about a stone
eating three Tatties in three days, so I'm almost relieved at not being able to do it today. Hope number 5 goes well and that RH was able to give my ticket to someone.
I have to own up and say that I was *that* close to accidentally leaving my copy of the audiobook on the bus on the way home. Someone actually shouted "is this yours?" as I was ready to step off, and you'll be delighted to know that I proudly said "yes". No, really.
Looking forward to the karaoke later.
Tyger Drew-Honey: not only is he Ben Dover's son, his mum is (perhaps unsurprisingly) Linzi Drew, ex-galmour model and porn performer. She's probably most famous though a s the naked woman thumbing a lift on the cover of Roger Waters' Pros and Cons of Hitch-hiking.
And he's bloody good in Outnumbered, though not quite as good as the girl who plays KAren. She's scarily like my own daughter.
