Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Epykat, Your comment would have been better put if you had posted it on the EN website as the people who have posted on this thread are not surmising or making things up. All comments about the situation which were discussed came directly from the school themselves and there was never any suggestion...

Just been informed that the school will be closed to all pupils except those due for exams until Monday the 12th. Revision classes are supposed to be going ahead as well.

The problem is that the tower block is also used for sitting exams. My son is currently sitting his English on the 7th floor. Now only accessible via the blue stair as the other stairs have been closed due to the flooding. Floors 1 thru six are flooded. Its his first SQA exam and this is not a great...

Thanks Bearcub. I appreciate you bailing me out.

Managed to muck up the taping of Egypt (BBC1 9:00). Both kids are extremely peed off with me. Has anyone got a copy I could borrow? Thanking you in antici...pation....

We also had an Angela Person (A. Person). We used to get calls asking to speak to A Person. We could never resist the inevitable.

Bob claims he knew a Russel Sprout but I am having difficulty believing him.

I used to work with a guy called Dick Manley. His address on e-mails (when it gets reversed) used to cause a lot of hilarity.

I just want him to s** off to the gym so that I can watch Desperate Housewives in peace. Has he done any of the things that he was supposed to while I was running around Edinburgh,taking the children to their judo and swimming classes? No, cos he has got a new toy. He may very well be posting about ...

Problem solved. Thank you TeddyGirl.
It does appear to be repeated on Sunday on E4. However, as I don't have E4 I'll now have to go begging. I can feel a call to my sister coming on....

Thanks, Dadaist. I appreciate that.
However, its a sad thing that no-one else is admitting to watching D.H.
If I don't get a copy of the episode I will just have to demand the DVD for my birthday.
Then Bob'll be sorry.
Hey, plus point.

Does anyone have a video copy of last night's episode? I meant to tape it and forgot.

ecm: I handed the video back to Lindsay on Saturday, so it should still be in her possession when the library opens again on Monday. Hopefully you will be able to get it before she sends it back to Morningside (from whence it came). The trip to Inchkeith was fab and I could bore everyone to death go...

Beach babe wrote bit of a coincidence, Dadaist and I were married in Duddingston Kirk too and had our reception at the Roxburghe Could it be that Bob and Dadaist are one and the same? Both got married at Duddingston Kirk, receptions at the Roxburghe and both have a daughter called Emily. Can I join ...

It has become apparent from many recent posts that there are a lot of Portobello High Parollees out there. Now is the time to confess all. Which House were you in?
I will start it off and let you know that I was in CRICHTON. I was in CG1 and my House Mistress was Miss Watt.

Hey, I share a birthday with someone really famous - Bellybabe!

I KNEW IT!! Identical twins seperated at birth.

I must confess that it was not me who posted that message, but my son. I was making a cup of tea and had left myself logged on. I have told him that if he tries that again I will make him read 100 years of solitude and then he might actually appreciate Philip Pullman!

Anybody suggest Philip Pullman and you will be dragged outside and shot.

One book NOT to take would be "One Hundred Years Of Solitude". Billed as an enthralling, exceedingly comic novel. Yeah, they were laughing when they took my money for it .

Garth Nix is the way to go now. Very disappointed that he's not at the book festival this year.

My book for a Desert Island would have to be " Raft building for beginners" or "How to build your own still".

mr magnolia My daughter started at Towerbank Nursery in April and settled in quickly. She is very happy there and the staff are lovely. My daughter is also due to start school in 2005, so when you move to Portobello please contact us so that your little one feels that they know a few faces. I believ...

I've never been into the Blue Bean Cafe as I've been loathe to give my business to someone who has been taken to an industrial tribunal for sacking someone who is off sick. But I must admit it does look like a nice place to sit and have a coffee on a sunny day. Can anyone tell me if I can now go the...

And who is Froglette's secret lover?

If you find out, please don't tell my husband. He might get a bit upset!

Hi Beach Babe,
I'm afraid you will have to guess. But I'll give you one clue. It's tragic.

Hi, what is everyone going to see during the Fringe? Anyone booked yet to see a show, or something at the Film or Book festivals?

Hello, I am froglette. I lurk here quite often and enjoy reading other people's post. My partner posts here and I decided that I wanted to participate. So here I am!
