Talk Porty ~ Portobello

GRANTY

Residents were advised that the notice about Bath Street was posted in The Evening News and that appears to count as 'consultation' !

GRANTY

This make me really sad. It takes a while for organisations to establish themeselves and from what I can see, PEDAL were moving very much in the right direction.

GRANTY

Grunk, I like your style

http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/575172/icebreaker.gif Alba TV will be filming Portobello's much loved skiff (rwoing boat), 'Ice Breaker' on 9th / 10th April and the 17th April for a feature they are doing. As 50% of the programme is required to be transmitted in the Gaelic medium, we a...

GRANTY

great news. well done.

GRANTY

Thanks, Bob and Mark. I'll probably attempt a mixture of teaching myself (I can read music) and a proper tutor.

GRANTY

Happy New Year you lot. My aquisition of a digital piano is imminent (be grateful, neighbours, that a digital one has a headphone socket!). Anyway, can anyone reccommend a good piano teacher to get me off to a good start ? Equally, if there're any you think I should avoid..... (maybe PM about those)...

GRANTY

I might need to confiscate that !!!!!

Get your dancing shoes on ! Row Porty (as in rowing boat!) invite you to their fundraising ceilidh with the Robert Fish Band....right here on your doorstep on Saturday 20 NOVEMBER from 7pm – 11pm at Portobello Community Centre, Adelphi Grove. Tickets are £10 available from The Beach House, Woodwares...

GRANTY

Yep! Try the foot path which runs up the side of the old Big W. There were some beauties there a few weeks ago....some of which are in my freezer !

GRANTY

I rarely post on the forum but, I have been a resident of Porty for nearly 20 years and in terms of the Community Council can't remember EVER being consulted on my views about the area. In terms of the BL Developments proposal, I am deeply concerned that PCC are speaking on behalf of me, yet no atte...

Porty’s very own skiff, ‘Icebreaker’ is now a familiar sight on the sea front. If you haven’t seen it yet, pop down and have a look. I Some of you will be aware that Porty had a thriving rowing past. Myself and Bob J. are trying to gather memories, photos etc to document this, for a local exhibition...

GRANTY

I have a few good examples, rescued from rubble a number of years back. They form the frame of a rather fetching TV stand!

GRANTY

I'd just like to add my voice to the PRO Hovercraft bunch! I coped fine with the trial period and had a trip to Fife in it. I also live on the Prom, so am well used to noise at all times of day and night.....particularly the random, rogue fireworks which go off every few months in the small hours, a...

GRANTY

Just to say a big well done and thanks to all those involved in yesterday's Porty Festival. It was a good day, I enjoyed it and and know that others did as well. It was nice to see kids of all ages and adults having a good time together and the event shows loads of potential as a future event. I was...

GRANTY

That's brilliant news. I'm really pleased. They're wee b*ggers. One of my Tonkinese house cats once got out somehow. In total distress, I searched the streets, the beach and for some reason the roof throughout the night, but no sign. I live on the Prom and had to go to work the next day. I walked to...

GRANTY

Can you give us a rough idea of where she has been lost from? I haven't seen her, but as a big cat lover, I tend to cross the road to stroke any damn cat I see in Porty. So, I could keep my eyes peeled.

I really hope you find her.

GRANTY

Anyone had any plastering done recently and could reccomend someone? I need a bit of a ceiling replastered and a section of cornice needs a bit attention. 4 plasterers so far have gone to the bother of looking at it and deciding it's 'too small a job' ! Do I need to make it worse before anyone'll do...

GRANTY

Top marks to everyone for all the effort involved in getting the Porty Sailing Club underway. The buzz around the boat park site and the positive level of interest from passer's by was really fantastic. To see all the kids out on the water having the time of their lives made me think it's the start ...

GRANTY

I very nearly witnessed an accident due that same 'give way' junction. Hopefully, it was an isolated incident.

GRANTY

Wow! What a great way to showcase the sights of Edinburgh!!! These guys are super, super fit. Cool music as well

GRANTY

That's a brilliant response! Well done.

GRANTY

Great, got 3 people interested so far which hopefully will result in bookings.

GRANTY

Next question...What type of boats will the kids be sailing? Sorry, but I'm not up on my sail-boats and will probably tell folk the wrong one! I'm promoting this round my kayaking mob and I just KNOW someone'll ask

GRANTY

Hi Bob, is there a date on the drawing ? Fascinating picture.

GRANTY

I hope to see all my 0- buddies tomorrow at the 5.30 session. I think I might be due another wee badge

GRANTY

Strange place to put this request ...but you're a good lot on Porty online... I am looking to rehome my 2 siamese cats, who are 1 year old, very handsome brothers. I am looking for a tolerant and experienced new owner for them who can cope with their general mischief. I'd hope to find someone in Por...

GRANTY

Oh how I have missed posts on this thread....may this be the start of many more

GRANTY

It was open tonight, but well and truly closed last night. Was a bit worried something had happened. It seems to be doing really well

GRANTY

Yep, another brilliant hogmanay right on the doorstep. Great company, nice wee treats (ta for the Cava, Soupeys) and Rapunzell for the chocs. Hope you survived my dodgy wine! Those spooky lanterns are just fab as well.

GRANTY

I've just come back from holiday and seen all the gardens. What a truly brilliant idea and a lot of fun. Well done to all the artists and to everybody for donating their garden. Let's do this again!

GRANTY

nah, but i know a man who does!

GRANTY

Somewhere in the credits of GT4, you will find my name mentioned - top secret how it got there! If you see it, let me know! (Ali Grant)

GRANTY

I had a chat to the guy painting the pub today. He asked if I approved of it's new colour! He was really friendly and it'll be good to have the place open again. Good luck to them.

GRANTY

For the last few days, there have been people working inside the pub at the foot of Bath Street. They appear to be painting it today. Anyone know the latest?
