dazzy_deff Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 As above. Beach Leisure Centre, 5 minute walk from Pittodrie. Link to comment
Big Man Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Flumes? Slides? As far as i know you've limited it down to one. Beach Leisure Centre. Cheesepipes is richt like. However if you just want a pool with a diving board, a few floats and an empty condom in the deep end you could try the pool at the brig o' don academy. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Flumes? Slides? As far as i know you've limited it down to one. Beach Leisure Centre. Watch out for the razor blades in the flume that were put in by Rangers fans years ago. Anyone else remember that tall story? Link to comment
stumain Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Beech leisure centre it is then cheers lads Link to comment
Big Man Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Can you still get a sweem in BOD pool, f**king hell that would take me back. Crossing the Subway from Oldmachar side into BOD territory was like crossing the Pakistan/India border. Expecting a kicking round every corner it felt like another country when you were 9. Your nae wrong. That takes me back and aww. We used to run down to the tunnel at night and shout obscenities down it, lob sticks over the motorway to the other side - try and get a chasey. If we were feeling particularly brave we'd head over to RS mcoll's for a flump and a juice - they had a mean selection of sweets. Fond memories. Link to comment
dazzy_deff Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Seems cheesepipes and Big Man are from my neck of the woods! Jaunts thru the subway to go swimming in the summer holidays followed by RS McColl for sweets, crisps and Panini stickers are how I remember my summers. Link to comment
Big Man Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Stunk of pish and had some superb filthy grafitti, but i guess thats every subway in the world. You from that neck of the woods? Aye i can smell it now - the sight of that tunnel will never leave me. It was a fair hike up that winding hill when you were running away from their end as well. I am indeed. Oldie loon born and bred. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Loved going to the Beach Leisure Centre when I was a kid.The trip in from Blackburn with whoever's parent was a good laugh as we were all excited about going down the flumes.Did anyone else stop half way down so everyone crashed into each other and landed at the bottom in a great heap.

Up to Oldie on a Friday night to get some posh totty. We did the exact opposite. The B.O.D skanks used to cross the divide for us - we would take them round the back of the mains of scotstown or in that field beside middleton primary. Memories. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Watch out for the razor blades in the flume that were put in by Rangers fans years ago. Anyone else remember that tall story? I always wondered how someone hurtling down a flume or slide at 50 miles an hour would be able to craftily embed a razor blade into said flume or slide. I do indeed remember that tall story.

RAZOR Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'd say it was highly probable. I wouldn't want to breach the forum rules, so let me pose you with an indirect question: Do u know a lassie by the name of Kerrie Nash?I do,yes. Fingered her in the back of the Drama room. My picture is up on the Photo Gallery. Link to comment
