Forest BB

Keni

You can run but you can't hide. :-Q

Keni

I don't think it would need a padlock on it, just a slide bolt or equivalent would do. We just need something that would cause people to pause afore entering & give folk in the kitchen time enough to give them the once over afore questioning them if necessary.

Keni

I put a black piece of wood in the balcony today that has hinges on it that would make a good hatch. That would then give more surface area when the area is in use. Just an idea.

Keni

Happy to help Harry but will get there earlier as I have an early evening engagement that day. DM me what needs done first.

Keni

There's the wee collapsible stage we used at the Meadows Festival. I'm not sure what the dims are for it. Thinking about it, that's probably gone to Paradise Lost along with everything else.

Keni

I forgot to say earlier, the Forest is also about having fun with your friends and other like-minded folk, but then you lot all know that anyhows.

Keni

Morning All As you are probably aware by now, the sale of 3 Bristo Place is almost concluded and the Forest's lease there now finishes at the end of August. However, we are looking for another location and you can help out. Below is a list of criteria we are using to find a suitable premises. If yo...

That whole post was good news but that last point was a topper. Well done bud.

Keni

Stephen sorted it today. Somebody had the wrong cables plugged into the router from memory. Again a case of folk dicking about with things they should leave well enough alone.

Keni

Norfolk, so thought down the A1 to the A17. Does it make a difference?

Keni

Ta bud. So the basics are still the same then - good nature & a clear readable sign.

Keni

Thinking of hitching down by next week for a wee break. Given it is over ten years since I did any substantial thumb waving, anybody able to offer advice on good spots for catching lifts? Ken there's websites now but all the ones I've seen are great for the Continent but crap for the UK. Cheers, Ke...

Keni

Not as well as I would have hoped but that's the way life goes sometimes. Thanks for the Support and help. For now I'm recharging and resting plus spending some time with family and friends. Is my old Saturday shift still free from 14 May onwards? BTW, anybody wanting some "Elect Ken O'Neill" wallp...

Keni

Last post in this thread. The polls close at 2200. If you haven't voted yet, you will find me at the bottom of the Lothian regional ballot paper. That's the peach one. So, don't play Russian Roulette with your vote. Use your PPK (Peach Paper for Ken) & tick the last box on the Lothian ballot paper....

Keni

Anybody fancy coming along to the count to cheer on the results, regardless of what they are? Any support on the night is greatly appreciated.

Also, anybody to help with the set up for Tuesday?

Be lucky & stay moist

Keni

Morning All I've booked the Hall for next Tuesday, 3rd May, between 1900 & 2100 for an election event, entitled "Meet Ken O'Neill - A Q&A sessions with the new independent candidate for the Lothian region." You are of course all welcome to come along to hear what I believe in if you've not read my ...

PARC Craigmillar, Edinburgh Council's arms-length housing firm, are proposing to build a mixture of private housing and commercial units on Cairntows Park in Craigmillar. They will reduce a large greenspace to an area the size of a football field surrounded by three and four-storey buildings. The lo...

Keni

A bien tôt Scoutt. Hope the journey is great & you both have huge amounts of fun. Be outstanding & spectacular. Thought this was appropriate, from T.S. Eliot's Dry Salvages. . . When the train starts, and the passengers are settled To fruit, periodicals and business letters (And those who saw them o...

Keni

Thanks Ryan, much appreciated. Now, can you share my page on all your social networks please? Nae cheek, nae chance as Granny taught me.

My manifesto launched this morning. You can read it at http://wp.me/P1m7AU-2V.

Keni

Morning All As some of you know, I am one of the candidates hoping to win one of Lothian's seven regional MSP places at the 5th May Scottish Parliament general election. Aye, that really is its full title, one hell of a mouthful. I'm standing as an independent candidate & announced I was standing on...

Keni

Will do ma'am. Spoke to Stephen 5 mins ago & am heading across town shortly with my scrubbing heid on.

Keni

Is the work going ahead tomorrow? If so, when can't I start on my scrubbing action tonight?

Keni

Thanks Lucy. That's two of us then. I've just emailed the BTCV contact to see if we can have a stall & if not flyer the event. I hope to have some more news soon. K x

Keni

Alternatively, just don't fill it out at all. After all, they have all this info on you anyway.

I'm still waiting for my prosecution from 10 years ago. Supposedly my crime means I can't join the British Army, which of course was my lifelong dream.

Keni

Is it worth adding sealing/silicating the kitchen sinks?

As an old scrubber, I'm happy to mop the basement floor on Sunday evening. What time would I be able to start though? I'm down for the 10-1500 shift that day so can do it after I've had my scran or later if needs be.

Keni

As the soon to be redundant, albeit voluntarily jumping ship, it sounds like a great idea.

Keni

The Forum for Environmental Volunteering Activity (FEVA) have organised Ecofusion at Inverleith Park on Sunday 10 April. The event gives folk a chance to "explore and enjoy Scotland's outdoors." More details are available on their website, http://www.feva-scotland.org/display/ecofusion. I've asked i...

Keni

There's not enough time before dissolution (23 March) to get a Members' Debate on the subject, which would result in a worthwhile Motion. However, it is something we could push for after the election. Meanwhile, Shirley-Anne Somerville has replied saying that she supports the Forest's campaign and w...

Keni

Sadly the Forest didn't get mentioned during Questions Time, but details of the campaign were sent to Fiona Hyslop's Government office for her attention. Malcolm Chisholm, the Labour MSP for Edinburgh North and Leith, replied saying he was unable to attend Question Time but he does support our campa...

Keni

What are ugly clothes? I fear that would describe most of my wardrobe accoring to some folk.

Keni

Jakers, almost forgot to say. If you do email Fiona Hyslop, one the of the SNP's Lothians MSP, edit the sentances about asking a supplementary & the Minister's reply. Until Wednesday 23 March, she IS the Minister. Also, only one of the Lothians MSPs is a party colleague of these MSPs and that's Geor...

Keni

Apologies, only just seen Shannon's comment. Below is the email I've sent to Boyack & the Lothians MSPs, feel free to adapt & use. Remember to edit the first line when sending it to other MSPs to something like "I was pleased to see Sarah Boyack is raising the issue of the former Odeon Cinema on Cle...

Keni

The following MSPs are asking questions in the Scottish Parliament on Thursday that are Forest connected. I would recommend that as many folk as possible contact these politicians, pointing out that the issue they are raising has connections to the Forest. Out of the three folk in question, only Sar...

Keni

My girlfriend was asked to move out of the flat she stays in this morning & is looking for somewhere else in Glasgow. Anybody know of anything currently on offer? Any & all suggestions most welcome. Ta

Keni

Sorted. I can get to Carlton Studio about 8ish & help out before if you need it?

Keni

Catalina, something's come up & I can't cover the door 7-9 but can do later. Is that OK? If not, I'll see what I can do to rearrange the other commitment.

Keni

Happy to run a pre-election workshop if there are enough people to attend. What sort of things would people want? I can give a quick tour on how we got to the reconvened Parly, what powers are devolved, how Holyrood works, et cetera. Is a demand though? If it is just a few folk happy to spend an aft...

Keni

Apologies, yes multi-winner STV if the best. I don't see why multi-seat constituencies are not feasible throughout the UK. If you use the regions concept that Holyrood has, why not? OK, that's AMS but I see no reason why you can't combine a multi-member areas. You could use old county boundaries per...

Keni

I couldn't agree with you more Shannon, STV for the Commons is my preferred choice. Having said that, I'd rather have AV than FPTP. A step forward is still a step forward, even if it is a timid one. Thehemulen, to me an anarchist is somebody who wants a social system based on voluntary co-operation ...

Keni

Does anybody have a blue umbrella I could borrow this Friday & Saturday? A pal is doing a photo shoot & needs one as a prop.

Cheers

Keni

Did you know that Scotland elects 129 MSPs? Of these, 73 are elected to represent constituency through First Past the Post. The remaining 56 MSPs are elected by an Additional Members System to represent the eight parliamentary regions, seven for each one. The Lothians region has nine constituencies....

Keni

I saw something today during my shift in the cafe that surprised & disappointed me. A fellow volunteer came in and ordered a coffee. Then they started raking through the tips plate for change before paying. They hadn't done a shift nor were they due to work today, as far as I could tell. Now, I'll g...

Keni

The Scottish General Election is on Thursday 5th May. Don’t worry if you didn’t realise this, it is news to most people. On that same day, the UK will probably get the chance to vote on whether to move to the Alternative Vote system for electing MPs to Westminster instead of the current First Past T...

Keni

"Cheerfully aggressive kind of way and insisted that he knew what he was doing and that everything would be fine." Aye, ken exactly the fellie you mean. Say no more. . .

Keni

I now have said router sitting on my desk & will pop in with it after work.

Keni

Looks like I'm too late but how would a D-Link DSL-G604T, boxed with all the bits, do? A colleague has one he doesn't want

Keni

Looks great, like the colours & the cleanness. Also, by getting rid of the jokey dish names saves having to look at the menu to know what a punter wants. Or is that just me who toils with it?

I also agree with Martin about waiting re VAT.

Keni

Not sure if anybody else has noticed this but Wednesday 5th of January is Twlefth Night, not Thursday. Also, Thursday is the sixth, not the seventh. Think it would help folk to get the details right. Just trying to help, not criticise.

Keni

Sounds & looks top chief. Where do I sign?
