Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Mrs Mangle

Talking of hospital visits, not long after having my only child (never lonely) I had a rotten cold and was fed up with it never going away, so rather than inhaling menthol crystals I had a faster way to get rid of my lurgy. So I runs a bath tips the entire pot of crystals then gets in bath, sits the...

Mrs Mangle

With a little help from the tories it seems, but they are not in on the coalition it seems, just promising to help them out next week. It makes a mockery of the SNP consistution, the say they will NEVER work with the unionist (tories), but so long as it helps us get what we want and then if we call ...

Mrs Mangle

Seems that Stephen Hawkins wants nothing to do with the Craigmillar side of the ward, apparently said so up the Chambers on Saturday to another councillor. Now does this mean that he doesn't want or doesn't have the time to get himself up to speed on that side, or he doesn't want to mix with the goo...

Mrs Mangle

Proportional representation. A council (and country) which isn't simply stuffed full of Labour representatives. Sure Lawrence done a good job, but how come you can't assume Micheal Bridgeman & Stephen Hawkins wont either? Mike Bridgman is a good man and will do for the ward what the people ask of hi...

Mrs Mangle

Sorry to hear your so poorly,

Get better soon.

Mrs Mangle

Can I make something clear please, the Bingham meeting is on THURSDAY 26th April, not Monday I as I already stated sorry for confusion. Another thing, some candidates have been invited to another meeting on the same evening , I think they are being lead to think it also is a hustings, not so the mee...

Mrs Mangle

Morning all, I have been asked through this forum if anyone know how to get in touch with the following would be councillors : Archie Burns Independant Massimo Circi Liberal Gerry Kerr Independant Peter McColl Greens John Smart Independant. Apparently these councillor seem non contactable, the ladie...

Mrs Mangle

I happen to work within the council that how I know they are not available under FOIA, nor are any personal letters anybody sends, you'd be amazed at what is not allowed, and folk take offence when told this.
People request the daftiest things, I suppose it's not daft to them right enough.

I've attended a few of the hustings Marya and it seems to be the same 2/3 independants that attend, as well as Lawerence and Maureen was at one of them, I suppose they might attend nearer the 3rd May. I don't think the independants have a grasp on the whole of the new ward, whereas the ones who have...

Mrs Mangle

Generally because the most of the teenagers are under age and can't handle the drink, or they can handle it and think, "well I've had xxx amount and I'm holding my own so I'll drink even more" that's when the trouble usually beings, vomiting, thinking they are invincible, and generally want to take ...

Mrs Mangle

Mrs M[/quote] The council website is a public site too Mrs M. I certainly want to know where all candidates live, be it for local council elections or for national government. Perhaps it is just me, but I'm much more likely to vote for someone who actually lives in the area they want to represent.[/...

Mrs Mangle

First of all Wangi, please don't think the behaviour on the beach isn't the behaviour everyone suffers City wide, I happen to live in a council scheme/estate and be assured we get this behaviour 7 nights a week 52 weeks a year. Setting wheelie bins on fire, underage drinking sold from local shop, fi...

Mrs Mangle

So from what I gather from the posts here is 1. You don't want the bonfires stopped altogether, just stop the "neds" from having them. 2. You don't want drinking on the beach to stop altogether, just the "neds from drinking. 3.You don't want gangs to stop from gathering on the beach for above mentio...

Mrs Mangle

Although these candidates address` were on the council website, I think that it's not right to post them on a public forum, and before anyone comes on to say that they would be available through FOIA not so as address` are not given out under FOIA.

John Wallace is another standing, but not in this area apparently he's standing in the next ward along from Craigmillar/Portobello, Nothfield, Don't know what it's called offically.
Mrs M

Mrs Mangle

Norrie Davies is also standing.

Mrs Mangle

Read this, don't the anti high school people know that the council can and will change the goal posts as and when it suits them. Sky line, that's a new one, wonder if the Bingham people might use that when it comes to knocking their school down and building "Jobson Heights" and "Aitken Way" on the s...

Mrs Mangle

Capacity Building Project is at 63 Niddrie Mains Terrace, the old Craigmillar Festival Society.

Mrs M

Are the Craigmillar hustings being held by Craigmillar Community Council

.

Mrs Mangle

There is to be a public meeting on Monday 23rd April 2007, Lismore Primary School, Bingham Avenue. All of the candidates are invited along to give a 5 min talk and then it's open to public questions. This meeting was/is organised by the people of Bingham mainly to hear what they think of School clos...

Mrs Mangle

Ouch foxy your that sharp I nearly cut myself on you, not.

MRS Mangle.

Mrs Mangle

Any councillor for whatever party can of course choose to break the whip of said party, this is what Lawerence did in 2004 when voting to close a local school. Anyone willing to break their party whip must surely be voting from the heart. After all when one breaks the whip, that prson is and always ...

Mrs Mangle

Not to nedish, really, is there a need, I see myself as a bit of a ned certainly not a snob, and would be willing to sit in any public house anywhere, surmising that people are this or that is what causes trouble in the first place. As for giving other "names" before even getting to know them. Were ...

Mrs Mangle

Well you all make my sides split NOT. As for the Basa starting up real c because another site closed NOT, it was felt that one site namely CRAIGNET did not express the views of the community at large, so certain people (not me, before anyone asks) asled if he could set up another site for the people...

Mrs Mangle

I beg to differ on a few things, talkporty is not the only forum serving this area, the way it is read to my eyes is that this will be the board that will talk for the new Ward 17 come the elections on May 3rd. Not so, I read and post on Realcraigmillar.com and can assure any users here that it has ...

Mrs Mangle

What a joke, Cooncillor Berry, trying very hard to jump into nothingness, this excuse of a cooncillor can't even be bothered to keep a section of his own ward informed with what is going at Holyrood, never mind anywhere else. Oops silly me, he's hoping to move in next years elections, clearly he mus...

Mrs Mangle

Away to join Keir, use your phones

Mrs Mangle

In answer to Libby and MoM, Nobody on this forum know what post they are replying to, simply because it is a fast thread. Surely it doesn't matter if you do or do not have a child at the schools, or live in the area. I have attended a few of the meetings regarding the schools, and i really do think ...

Mrs Mangle

I believe most of the Anti New School people are, Golfers and Residents of Park Avenue and surrounding Streets, i maybe wrong here, but at the first meeting which was full of them, Golfers and Residents, they were not interested in the bad state of the building they were sitting in, nor were they in...

Mrs Mangle

I agree with Keir Hardie 100%, there is a lot of on line bullying in this thread, and in my opinion a lot of it comes from one member, who shall remain nameless at the moment, enough to say i was/ am offended by this member myself and have sent him a E Mail to explain why. But yes i agree with Keir....

Mrs Mangle

BB Brown, I'm certainly not dismissive as you suggest, the Evening Rag printed lies as they very often do, why not tel it like it is? Also, it seems in my opinion that the re building of BOTH school is never going to please everyone. Before anyone suggests i'm not anti Sport, but it is also my opini...

Mrs Mangle

I have also read this piece of tripe in the Evening Rag. Be assured i was at last night's meeting of the East LDC, (held in the Hays Business Centre) and at no time did any Councillor or any other Council Offical say that they would consider building the " New " school at Calvery Park. 2 members of ...

Mrs Mangle

Holyrood may be designed for a certain amount of children, but it is very fast filling up. It has about 5/6 feeder schools around the city, not counting the kids for non-denomination schools. Castlebrae has close to 350 kids a present. So although it will never take over the number roll of Porty, it...

Mrs Mangle

Has this turned into " say anything thread " or attack/slag off anybody thread ?

See what i mean about it being confusing.

As a newbie

i spy very much tooing ,froing, bad feeling.

Not everyone will end up smiling, will they ?

Mrs Mangle

And you.

Mrs Mangle

:lol: :lol: Dadist I called them nimby's because from feeling in the hall on Monday night the would have been supportive of the school being built on top of a mountain anywhere in fact, so long as it was In my back yard, people don't like change and more so when if affects them. Confrontational, man...
