Talk Porty ~ Portobello

I like the setts but they do not work. They are murder to drive on and nearly impossible on a bike. In their current format I think they are unsafe for both bikes and cars. If they can be fixed (properly this time) then I would be happy for them to stay but if they cannot then they should go. There ...

70% is brilliant news and a powerful mandate. Very happy.

All clear this morning when I cycled past. I also passed a LIne Painting lorry coming down Bath Street so I wondered if they were going to be painting even more!

Pal of Porty

Last one was good fun - cycling up town as a posse from the end of the prom. Brilliant going along George IV bridge and down the Royal Mile with no cars.

...... Let's see, will they sight over-provision, or detrimental to the character of the area, or traffic issues, or loss of green space… :twisted: They could site that, 'We may have been a contributory factor in the demise of Annie and Belle so hopefully we will be able to screw this one up too. W...

It will be of no consequence to PPAG if there were 100,000 'Yes' votes to only 5 or 6 'No' votes. They are the ultra definition of the word NIMBY and will do everything in their power to prevent the school going on the Park.

....... At every turn there were dogs sniffing and circling around my 4 and 2 year old children. We could barely get a minutes peace on the beach for dogs and big dogs at that bounding around us and owners saying the same thing "oh he just want to play" "shes just being friendly" god if I heard it ...

Pal of Porty

It sounds more like doggy murder to me!

Pal of Porty

Hear hear!

Purple Aroused McPherson would have been better as they could have called her PAM.

Pal of Porty

I keep logging on to see what her middle name was - are you going to put us out our misery.

Pal of Porty

Nah that's rubbish Seashell. When a bird get's married she uses the guy's name (and does a wee bit cleaning)!

Pal of Porty

Unless this is a coincidence - this would mean that the person coming to speak to the PCC on Planning Democracy, wrote to the EEN about PHS on the park under a different name! Just as well they did not call themselves Planning Transparency.

Pal of Porty

I think it is actually crystal clear. Jobs for the boys and designed by the inner cartel to keep a grip on things.

Pal of Porty

I was not there but I'm sure Diana and Stephen were at fault.

Pal of Porty

I don't belive in coincidences!

Thought I had'nt heard from you in a while!

Pal of Porty

Bye - but please don't feel sorry for me.

Pal of Porty

Must be difficult for the Council though as she writes so many and often with a different hat on.

Pal of Porty

I clearly remember the bottle works - we used to sneak in and play on the massive piles of broken glass!

Pal of Porty

I know of three people who live in WBC whom have personally told me that they supported the installation of the MUGA.

Pal of Porty

This should fix the problem:

Simples.

....Also won the Edinburgh Schools Sevens at Murrayfield, beating Stewart's-Melville in the final. Remember it like yesterday and a truly brilliant day for Porty playing the final on the hallowed Murrayfield turf. Stewart's Melville had a great team with three Calder brothers in the forwards, John,...

It will be to make way for the 'Captains' Porty High School on stilts.

Pal of Porty

As soon as you understand that that PPAG are not committed to anything other than saving their own park most of what they do falls into place.

Pal of Porty

Yes I have - bring on a skateboard/BMX facility that will compliment the existing facilities in the nearby Rosefield and Figgate parks.

Pal of Porty

The new park is not on their doorstep for one but the school will be! When has this ever been about green space for PPAG?

Pal of Porty

Hey PoP - I've seen you cycling and I doubt you can break the speed limit!! (OK maybe downhill!!) Steady on there Mr Bradley! I admit I have slowed down a bit since my pal Lance stopped giving me his home brew health drinks but I am still burning the rubber with a stong wind at my back and a downhi...

Pal of Porty

Yahoo....Now I can go really fast.

I would say inevitable.

The school roll was actually several hundred higher when it appeared in the Guiness Book of Records as the largest school in the UK (or possibly Europe).

Pal of Porty

Definitely true LMM - been in place for a while now.

Pal of Porty

Brilliant post Commander but you missed out the bit about fight them on the beaches..... etc., and Welcome to the waccy baccy club!

Pal of Porty

All this is playing havoc with my constitution!
