The Jolly is a time warp for me back to when I was a child and my granny used to take us for minestrone, a half and half and the ice cream in a little silver dish with strawberry sauce. I take my 7 yr old now and he gets the free lollies and flat juice lol. Not been in the jolly for a long time, an...

Think we used to have one, where Fine Wines is now. Sue got on her horse and rode out of town.

Porty

I hoped they were just taking a post Christmas break.

Porty

I'm genuinely scunnered with Avril Scott and Gillian Dunn . BIOB continue to broadcast lies, defend lies and all for what? Delay the replacement of a school which was 5 years ago identified as being in the worst condition in Edinburgh. Not the ladies fault obviously and they are entitled to oppose t...

Rather you than me Mark"!

This all begs the question: If you are a pet owner who can't be bothered picking up your pets shit, why a dog?. Get yourself a seagull. Nobody gives too hoots about them shitting on the beach.

Porty

Unfortunately my tripping over and trodding on things unseen is only going to get worse. I'm currently taking out about 5 or 6 "wet floor" signs, per week. Trodding on a visually impaired person's guide dog, is highly embarrassing but not quite as bad tripping over a guide dog and knocking the owner...

May have been amber?

Porty

Had a natter with a little old lady in izzys today. I stood on Ember, her guide dog, as I entered. She said woidwares is closed?

Porty

Happy new year from me too . Hopefully it will be a goodie.

Seashell- can people get married in the woods- officially and legally?

A lot of people have asked if Robert and Purple are still together, I'm afraid not. He went awry after a few years and she left him, she's now married to John Patch. And Robert also remarried.

Porty

All this chat about washing and cleaning is making me feel unwell.

Porty

Well, there's another tale. Originally, her mum and dad deciided on Aroused. On the way to the registrars office her dad made the connection that many people would have......and changed it to Floppy,

Porty

Your right Seashell and you POP. A married woman can call herself anything she wants and her man can do the same, even when the ceremony is in the woods. Most women take the male partners name, (I remember when a girl I was at Uni with: Purple MacPherson got married to Robert Cock) I couldn't believ...

Porty

Quite right to ask.

Planning D revenue was around 11k. Pcats had 3k plus left over from 2006. Viridor is. 15k plus. The public don't know what happens with those funds. There's no transparency and it's a lot of cash. Have they donated to planning democracy.

I had a quick peek at the Planning Democracy. I was interested in establishing what their credentials are, for doling out guidance on matters planning. The headline is: Who we are We are a group of volunteers who include representatives of three community councils with years of experience in plannin...

Porty

More of a splicing, I'm further informed. Something to do with drummers in the woods and a commune in Stanley Road. Apparently they are friends of our two best known activists.You know they ones, anti-school bods? On reflection it does seem an almighty coincidence; two Clare Kyndt's in Edinburgh- th...

Porty

I'm informed that Clare Symonds married name is Kyndt, could still be a coincidence tho.

Porty

This makes total sense, Sean.

Porty

I wouldn't dare.

Porty

Is she a keen gardener?

Porty

I googled "symonds kyndt" and got:

http://www.venturescotland.org.uk/garde ... uary11.htm

A Clare Symonds and a Jerome Kyndt attended the same gardening training course at Venture Scotland back in 2011. I wouldn't read too mulch into it tho.

Porty

I don't believe you.

Porty

That is a coincidence. The same thing happened on my PC, which suggests it is not exclusive to yours.

One may have expected more famous Clare's to appear higher in the search. Clare Balding for example. Although, not sure why Clare Balding would be writing to the EN about PHS?

Porty

Believe you? You cannot be serious.

Porty

Call me a cynic, call me suspicious, or just call my comprehension skills into question, but is it a coincidnece that since the bragged about, and subsequently condoned, "do one" episode, things have gone a tad quite on here? Scoop, I wasn't bragging. It was a pre-emptive strike. I wanted to get th...

Porty

deleted in error- cba posting it again

Porty

Avril is fully aware of what was said; "Do One"- that's it. If she cares to check the urban dicionary it means "go away". I have the distinct advantage of having been there and of course I knew exactly what I meant. There was no threats and no intimidation, DC and Hawkins hung about for a good 7 or ...

Porty

You had to be there.

Alternatively, one could make stuff up and pretend it's true. You've proven time and time again that facts have little or no influence on your dubious judgment calls. This is just the latest example.

Porty

Hearing a distorted account of what happened is bound to lead to a misinformed judgment. Go tell it to the tortoise.

Porty

It's a consultation. DC sets up a high street stall if a seagull shits on the beach. Why are they talking to us not the others in the community whose support they desperately need.

Answers on a postcard.

Porty

Things went down hill after you left. There was an apparent bullying and personal attack incident involving me ; Stephen Hawkins and Diana Cairns. It's going to interesting to see how this get spun by the "victims". Long story short: Stephen and Diana had occupied the time of one of our consultation...

Porty

if it is £8k per request and DC's was made on behalf of Portobello Community Council. We have PCC wasting our money, it is simply not on. There is a PCC complaints procedure and if things are the way they appear to be, this needs to be nipped in the bud.. Having said that, if DC made the request "fr...

Porty

Yes she did and she may have done us all a favour. If the council are employing people to ignore the source of an FOI request and go search for a different source, where it possibly may have come from, then we should know about it. Seems like a waste of time and money.
