Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Thanks.

To be honest, as the complete dinner it was a bit disappointing. While its great to have some names there, no one really delivered a cracking speech. A lot of folk fell asleep at some points

Next year here we come...

Hey, I won 5th prize, a bottle of Port. No idea where it is now...

If it was value for money. £6 is about right I think.

I am not sure, I think its the original name for Fisherrow?

Not at all. Its essentially a Business Breakfast meeting where individuals work together to help each other out. I was sceptical at first but I really enjoy it and for those of us that dont often get out and about in our line of work, its great to chat to others.

Here is a good article from The Guardian:

My son used to attend Hamilton House Nursery. We moved him a couple of months ago for a number of reasons. I don't want to comment on specifics as we have a complaint outstanding but: 1. True as far as I know. Not sure on the numbers but staff have been applying to other Nurseries in Portobello. 2. ...

The wind was horrendous. Basically from Seafield to Gosford (about 15 miles) it was pummelling me in my face. Thank god it blew me home though

PS - no more marathons for me

Ed

Managed 4:33 (by my watch). Chris a few minutes later. Double hamstring cramp at 19 miles was almost the nail in the coffin but managed to get back!

Ed

Thanks for that! (and well done on your time, if I manage that I will be happy)

Ed

Running is super duper dull, yes, I agree. I am selecting my iPod Marathon tracks as we speak. Any good running songs?

Ed

I will most likely be wearing a WMW t-shirt and I am number 2666!

Ed

Ideally just under 4 hours
Realistically 4 and a half - 5 hours

Good luck and thanks!

Ed

Good story Porty.

In my street the kerbs are so low that folk just drive up onto the pavement and go round the speed bumps. Makes for interesting zig zagging at speed on the pavement. I am just glad there isn't one right outside my gate!

I have tried calling the Police but they do SFA.

Ed

Well spladoosh then! I did wonder then thought, nah, too much of a coincidence but then again , Wangi went all the way to Wyoming and people over there had heard of hom through POL ( as it was then ) That reminds me must go and sponser you for the run. (I think Chris used to live at the end of our ...

Was stuck behind it in the High St traffic.

Didn't notice too many curlers or wigs in the luggage though.

Aye, I was in that van. My wig and handbag never made it home

The one in the white dress has a nice bum

Ed

Thanks Sandra. I will need your full name and postal address (Gift Aid) for the form. Can you PM it?

Ed

Well done Ed - it must run in the family ( :oops: ). Still got a way to go to beat your amazing Mum though..... Thanks for that. Its never my intention to beat my amazing Mum, she managed 4 Marathons, just the one for me, thats more than enough! On a similar vein, we had our photo shoot today down ...

Ed

Thanks for the sponsors guys, much appreciated!

Ed

My schedule scares me

Good luck dude!

Ed

Well, thanks to POL / talkPorty, I have just had the Evening News on the telephone wanting an interview with myself and my brother in law about our fundraising etc. Great news!

Thanks, and remember, they are watching

Ed

Boy that was hard, managed it in 1:52:24. We started right at the back and I mean last place so the whole time was spent overtaking :lol: The first mile was slow cause of the sheer bulk of people, it opened out after the first 2 miles. At mile 3, me and my Brother In Law split up as he was feeling t...

On Wednesday April 11th PoP, Plug, Ed, Mr Lizzie, Pal of Porty's Pal, me and around 20 others are heading to Benidorm for a super skite in celebration of our good friend's stag night. I still can't quite decide if I am looking forward to this or not. I am one of the youngest going (at age 31). It s...

Thanks guys. Am doing the half marathon this weekend as a warm-up...

My brother-in-law (Chris) and I are attempting this years Edinburgh Marathon (26.2 miles). We are running in aid of Meningitis Research, reason being, 10 years ago, Chris almost died of Meningitis and without the good doctors and nurses he might not be around now. We have set an ambitious target of ...

In my street this morning, a old worky style mallet hammer thing had been lifted from a skip and used to pan in the back windscreen of the nearest car. The mallet was left lying on the ground right next to the skip and the car. Who to blame for this? Worky for leaving a weapon in the skip, skip owne...

Ed

Thanks for that. Can they not post you your socks!

Ed

Looking to get some shoes/trainers for running before my feet fall off. Any suggestions/advice on a good place to go?
