magbagpuss

I get on passed Bath Steet !! guess I'm lucky x

magbagpuss

Is that walking you are talking about ? I can get from Porty to York Place in under 20 mins in the rush hour , morning and evening ?

magbagpuss

Noticed the new cafe opheilia may was closed yesterday ?

magbagpuss

Just wanted to wish all Talk Porty a very happy, healthy and hopefully wealthy 2013.
Let's have a cracking year full of debate , info and a wee bit gossip xxx

Just read an article in today's Evening News about the possibility of bringing Donkeys back on the beach ! Brilliant idea providing they are cared for properly.
Do not know how to put the article on here on my iPad but no doubt some one will do it ( Bob ? ) please .

Hi Storky, how much is Bannatynes ? Wonder whether to try there. Not as easy to get to without a car though !

magbagpuss

Just heard that Jenners are dispensing with the man in red for the first time in almost 50 years.
No Santa hmmmmm how long til we have a Porty against campaign? Ok answers on this page ..... Porty against no Santa ?
You can do better !

magbagpuss

Well said Bearcub , more mince on this thread than Sainsburys will ever have . A lot of selfish , self-centred people thinking only of themselves. Get a life. It's a shop not an invasion of body snatchers !

magbagpuss

Yes, another happy tum event. Second visit every bit as good as first . Lovely menu with some different dishes to try. So good to have such a wee gem on the doorstep ! Thank you Kay n Keith .... Will be back. Bet Christmas menu will be spectacular. Will keep you posted. p.s. steak with pepper sauce ...

magbagpuss

Pear n sultana chutney , yum . Would make lovely Christmas pressies . wish I had more time

!!

magbagpuss

Yes indeed you can. £2.00 corkage , really great night x

magbagpuss

Just been to the first evening opening at the Butternut Squash cafe on Porty High Street. Keith and Kay plan opening Friday and Saturdays Magic evening , food superb and reasonable, great service with a big smile and a wee laugh. I had home made chicken liver pâté n red onion marmalade, cracking hom...

magbagpuss

I thought tenements were flats ?

magbagpuss

Thanks Bob, that's all I wanted to know . Agree with you on the whole but there are always those who take it too far . Not seen so much interest for a long time .

magbagpuss

Bob, in what way is Portobello different to anywhere Sainsburys have opened before? Not sure what you mean . Please could you clarify . Have they not had objections before now ? Just want to be clear . By "us" do you mean Porty online or a general consensus of all Porty residents , cheers for that !

magbagpuss

Yup , well said Ig1726

magbagpuss

Accept what we do well ,embrace it n smile it does not hurt !

magbagpuss

Well said Wangi ! I do hate all the negativity that seems to exist. I feel what ever new idea/ concept was suggested a Portobello Against will spring up . There is nothing anyone can do as they have consent.there is a lot of positive in the situation , try and see it . Bet we find the gum bangers po...

magbagpuss

Chip shop on beach at bottom of Bath Street in the not too distant past !

magbagpuss

All good me thinks.

magbagpuss

Good news , just called Woodies to see when they were closing cos I want to make them some cupcakes n a wee buffet to say Thank You. =D> It could be as much as a year before all this takes place , happy days for the moment . That truly gives the staff members a good chance to get an alternative job ...

magbagpuss

Want a laugh ? Looked out our front window . Across the road 3 big seagulls were on the roof getting stuck into something red that looked like it was flapping ! Magi phones the Zoo being all helpful as the missing bird was at the Dog and Cat Home yesterday . Lovely guy at the Zoo tells me he will le...

magbagpuss

Do you know when that will be ?

Can and will we do something for the Woodies team ? Do you all think they would like that ?
We could all contribute a wee line or story of what Woodies meant to us ? Make a book ?

magbagpuss

I have sat on the side lines so far and listened with interest. Firstly , yes it will be devastating to loose Woodies , as non-drivers it is vital to us .We have shopped there over 23 years so it will be the end of and era.You always got helpful advice and they would happily order what you needed. W...

magbagpuss

Yep , we were on the roof , camera ready , nae planes .

magbagpuss

Well as not heard the apparent incredible noise I popped out on the balcony to listen . Two planes went over. Yes a bit noisy but nothing shuddered or juddered, perhaps our building is more solid . Went back in and asked Derek , did u hear them . Not a thing . Get a life for what 21 nights a year !

magbagpuss

yes truly a muppet . Every year I look out for the flyovers as I think it's quite exciting , been home every night n heard nothing . Gives Porty a bad name I feel .

magbagpuss

The pet shop is called Paws n Sam is the girl running it . Result , pet shop back in Porty .
Good Luck Sam

magbagpuss

Old card shop next to Findlays deli. Lovely girl. Offered to get what we use for the moggs . Wish her well.

magbagpuss

Just seen pic posted on Facebook ... Is the Skylark open ? Maybe they are just having a dry run ?

magbagpuss

Day has not started til I've had my Rathbone fix.

magbagpuss

Just popped in to welcome Victor Hugo to Porty and to wish them well. Good stock , not too expensive . quite a lot of overlap with Earthy. There was 1 man in front of us . 3 girls , 1 serving. First day , give them a bit of space. Did wait upward of 5 minutes in which time 1of them made beautiful lo...

magbagpuss

Inner rhythm radio on mixer , great .
