Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Hi, I am not sure if you still wanted details of Ceilidhs in Edinburgh. My mum is organising one for the Musselburgh and Midlothian Ramblers Charity but anyone is welcome not just ramblers!!! It is on Friday 14th December at Woodburn Miners Club in Dalkeith and starts at 7.30pm. The tickets are £10 ...

Tell me about it PoP

There is no parking along Seaview Terrace from tomorrow (Wednesday 24th April) to accommodate roadworks. Anyone know what they are doing here? Are they putting in a bus lane?

i would recommend The Basement - Broughton Street but they only have Mexican menu on a Fri and Sat night!!!

Apparently there has been a car accident

Anyway i am in my early twenties and i get slagged off for loving Poirot but i am not ashamed

Hi, Well i have actually been on here for a bit now but never introduced myself so thought i should!!! So hear goes... I am in my early twenties I live in Joppa Love eating out Driving Nice cars Going out with my mates Exploring new places At this moment in time i am really hating people that can't ...

LOL i didnt even notice these posters in the supermarket when i was there a few days ago!!! I did see one stuck all over a car while i was driving on the bypass though!!!

Sorry to hear that Granty. The same was done to my car...The glass was broken perfectly so i dont think it was just smashed in. Went to the police to report and also to discuss that i was worried that we were being targeted but the officer said that another car in our street had been done on the sam...

Yup i am just a bit upset at the moment.
I think i am going to be scared to go to bed tonight
i know so far it has just been the cars but this could just be the beginning of worse to come

The car that we got back last week has now had its windows smashed, just smashed with no reason and no attempt to steal it :cussing: Did anyone else have any car problems last night...i know sometimes smashing windows letting down tyres etc are done on whole streets at a time I am beginning to think...

apologised for the lack of fingerprinting kit, dusted the car door and then tried to take the prints using sellotape.

Glad you got your car back too and i probably shouldn't laugh but that is the funniest thing i have heard in ages!!!

Ridiculous isn't it!!! Well my dad paid it but i think he had to pay at the police station and take a receipt to a garage in macmerry where they do the forensic tests!!! Had to pay the same for the other car so £300 in the last few weeks just to get our own possesions back!!!. You can claim back fro...

Yippee... car was found bottom of kings road. Nothing damaged apart from the ignition. There was lots of things in it that were worth something and they were all still in the car too!!! Police still had to take it for forensics so had to pay £150 to get it

Another car stolen from outside my house. This time a Toyota Celica... i have the feeling this is no going to be the last

La Haine - This film is about 12 years old i think!! It is French with English subtitles. Set in the French "ghetto" the film deals with France's intolerance towards outsiders. It is shot in black and white. Would recommend to anyone!!!

Thanks Black Mamba We got the car back on Thursday. It did have quite a lot of damage the front and looked like it had been driven through some very muddy fields!!! Funny you should say about you car never being seen again. As Portobello Police Station phoned on Thursday to find out whether we had h...

I though the conservatory looked the best so im just gonna go for that!!! A really good restaurant that i would recommend is Sabor Criollo. It is a small Latin American restaurant in Stockbridge. I think it is a family run restaurant and always has a great atmosphere! The food is very tasty and reas...

Hi,

I dont know for sure but when i asked the people that were standing around and people in the shops (Greggs and a charity shop) what had happened they said that the boy had just starting hitting him for no reason!!!

As i say i do not know for sure though!!!

The only way this epidemic will ever come to an end is if the vermin involved start to wrap themselves round lamp posts in the vehicles they are stealing. I'm sure there would be mass mourning in Portobello should that occur Too Right!!! Funny you should say about the wiring because a week before t...

Woohoo... car has been found :blob: ... in Penicuik Not been reunited with it yet but its definetely not burned out and seen as the officers said we could drive it home once it has undergone police checks i assume that there is not much/no damage to the car!!! Ah im so relieved!!! I don't hold too m...

Apparently our car was seen with another stolen car so they m...

I have reported to the police, No word yet!!! T he insurance company might replace it but it was more the sentimental value the car has to me. My dad bought it when i was born or very young and he has put a lot of work in to doing it up so that it is still looks as good as new today. I have great me...

Ok... have calmed down slightly... Think i just needed a bit of a rant. It seems i came just towards the end of the man being beaten up and actually a group of 4 - 6 young boys did try and eventually managed to intervene... so they aint all bad. I was just so shocked to see something like that happe...

I am so furious!!! Just driving along Porty High Street and as i was getting to the lights at the corner of the high street i see a boy beeting a man up with lots of people watching...now i understand that people are scared to get involved but when the boy walked away no one even asked the man if he...

Hi :lol: I have only really started to think about the questions and format this evening so i have not really thought about what sort of questions. I think i will have a few rounds and they will be divided into general knowledge, history, media etc etc but i am completely open to suggestions!!! I wi...
