incident (Straiton Place)

Anyone know what was going on in Straiton Place at 10pm tonight? I came back to 2 ambulances and a woman who seemed to be being comforted outside one of them.

Admin: moved from Portobello Matters to G&TT

Mr Pb saw them too and an 'unmarked' audi TT police car with a stick on blue light on top flashing hareing up the road, strange I missed it. My usual curtain twitching skills must have let me down. I can only put it down to my v. exciting day.

Not sure what was going on. Saw the ambulance outside no 7.
It had got lost earlier, came down Regent St then along towards Baths.

The ambulance was called as someone was having bad chest pains, he's Ok now, but having more tests done.
The ambulance was there for so long as it broke down

Was talking to the "patient" today and the pains were being caused by an ulcer. He seems to be fine.

How's Baxter doing TG? He must be getting big now? I met a friend of his the other week - Opal.

He is getting quite big, his legs are a bit gangly at the moment.
He has a play with Opal most days, they are wild together

I'm surprised I haven't bumped in to you on the prom, used to see you quite a lot. Will no doubt see you soon.
Here's a recent pic of him

He looks luverly Teddygirl!

TG - have been looking out for you with Baxter but no luck. Mini Pb loves dogs so he would love to meet him also. You could be my first spladoosh!
Not really on the Prom at dog walking times these days without old Maxy Boy.

Baxter is looking lovely, TG, will keep my eyes open for you.
He looks like he's in that "teenage" stage- all elbows and knees

Ah! an ulcer was to blame for the ambulance call out.
Ulcers can be very painful nasty things ( Mr Soupy is a sufferer ). Modern thinking is most can be cured by an antibiotic regime

It was a great day when they discovered some ulcers were caused by helobactor pylori! They can nuke those little fellas with antibiotics if they're the cause, instead of years of having to avoid spicy food and still waking up with a feeling like a heart attack... *goes to order a curry*

I'm looking forward to spotting Baxter on the prom

Mr Soupy is one of the few people who tested negative for helicobacter pylori so he never got the antibiotics. Touch wood he's not had problems with his duodenal ulcer for some time.

Oh, poor Mr Soupy, that's such bad luck! I hope he stays perky - maybe astronomy is therapeutic!

Hey Soupy, it was us driving in front of you this am, spladooshing from afar and waving like loons.

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 13 Sep 2007, 17:19

Ah. Mr Soupy's first spladoosh.
We did wonder, our conversation was
Is that your cousin?
Nah wrong car
You sure?
Look theres a kiddie seat
Cant be her then
Could it be someone from online?
Nah!! How would they know us?
Hmmmm....
Well smile and wave anyway

Now if you'd have been in your old car I'd have got it straight away

Puerto bella · Post by **Puerto bella** » 13 Sep 2007, 21:23

I did enjoy watching you puzzle it out. That was Mr Pb's wee car. Next time I wave I might be in mine and then you'll be back to thinking - whose that waving......

If anyone was wondering about the police presence on Friday it was because a 14 years old was attacked by a ned outside our stair.
Lad and my son came back to the house and I gave the usual painkillers and ice pack.
Then I phoned the police, not only did they come, they caugt the assailant and charged him!
Lad attacked got split lip but is OK

The police we spoke had only just discovered the neds can get into the diabled toilet on the Prom using a house key and that its used as a "lovers lane"

Poor lad, hope his confidence hasn't been knocked.

As for the extra-curricular loo use... you'd think they'd use the beach like everyone else!

Think the police actually charging the lad that did it gave him a boost.

As for the lavvies, i wondered why they hung aroun there so much. Always said it was like moths to a light.
But it Scotland and cold , perhaps its drier inside, time limit of 20 mins then the door opens though

20 mins!

More than enough for most neds I'd think, including foreplay

I would hate to be constipated and using it for the original purpose!

After use the place is sprayed down and anything left inside is swept under the belt and lodged at the side.
How do I know.
One of my sons left his school bag inside!
I had to go down and press the button and call out the engineer

Son had scarpered, engineer had to come through form Glasgow.
he was mollified when it was indeed a school bag, complete with unfinished homework ( the lavvie ate my homework Miss! ) but he'd left his gameboy in in too.
Twit

We can see our flat from there too.
Why didnt he just come upstairs

i dont want to know
