24 Hours In Aberdeen

[Ke1t]

some fucker keyed my car...parked in a parking space in a parking lot. Not over the lines, not a reserved or handicapped space... and some utter mink keys the car.

 

Have to say I'm not overly impressed with the new buildings either. Featureless, soulless boxes... utter architechtural abortion seems to be the fashion right now, so that's pretty shite.

 

what other delights does Aberdeen have up its sleeve for the unwitting tourist... oh, aye, does everybody now own a dog? Never seen so many abject hackers walking around in shell suits and towing a vicious little dug along like so much minkery on legs.

 

Tomorrow we're going to go looking for the only Aberdonian with a full set of teeth.

 

I reckon it's going to be like trying to find a Yeti in the Sahara, but the wife is more optimistic.

Think the same of the buildings, the 'fashion' seems to be either stick a bit of glass on it or build some massive tin shed.

 

We'll soon get to the point where there are more pitbulls than people, its a fashion accessory for the jobless.

 

You might have to wait until 5.30pm to see a full set, remember you are walking round when its unemployable people that are in town.

[Big Man]

F*ckin american tourists....

 

All they do is piss and moan.

 

p.s. what kind of hire car did you got Ke1t old son?

Isn't there something about extra benefit money for people with dogs?

 

Or am I just believing everything I hear...

It's called a 'Car Park' min, have you forgotten so quickly? Drag that shocking attitude around with ye and it'll be a case of having to phone up yer own dental insurance when you get home. Shocking min, shocking!

[Dynamo]

I don't think I'm particularly keen on this visitor slagging off my fine city like this.

 

Keyed yer car? Drive it over the Atlantic did ye? So it's nae really your car then? So you dinna give a fuck :thumbs:

 

Soul less buildings? Where. Go see Marschial (sp?) College, looks magic now it's all clean n that.

 

Dogs? Just be glad it's nae everyone carrying a fecking gun instead!

 

Full set of gnashers? Have a full set myself thank you very much.

 

Your in Aberdeen, not Glasgow, bit of respect please!

Sheeeit, some god-dam muthafukka jus keyed our sedan! All the way from the fender to the trunk!

 

Must have heard your accent!

[ollie1903]

Agree 100%. Aberdeen Uni are also responsible for the monstrosity that is the MacRobert Building just off St. Machar roundabout.

[spamspamspam]

the uni has a history of ugly buildings, the zoology building is another monstrosity.

[Dynamo]

I like the 'Zebra' library building. It just doesn't go with the surrounding area and looks totally out of place.

[DD1903]

But folks, I thought you only got these kind of things happening in Glasgow?!

 

[Ke1t]

Hopefully things will improve shortly. Had the chance to see your Glasgow Reserves of Scotland versus the Soviet Lithuanians of Russia at the Hampden Park tomorrow. Blew off the tickets to go see your Lake Ness Monster, and maybe buy a genuine little drummer in a plastic toob.

 

Exchange rate is fucking mad, though

Exchange rate is fucking mad, though… a thousand of my American bucks will get me thirteen of your English pence. Just about enough to buy a house in Fraserberg. Was looking at property in Aberdeen… New Bilds, they're called, a luxury cardboard box with a window and an artificial tree outside the front door. Perfect for me, because I've always wanted to share a poorly manufactured tenement with 23 other Hybrid-driving wankers.

 

Trying to figure out what the following phrase means….

 

"Huv ye no a chip oan yer cerd? Fur I chip n pin, see? Huv ye no? Ah thocht you Americans wis aheed o us wi a at? Fur fit wye hiv ye nae chip on yer cerd?"

 

Because I've had that exact phrase repeated in every fucking shop since we landed.

[Bebo]

Kelt min, hooses in the USAA+ (see what i did there?) are made from prefabricated cardboard and wood. It's no wonder why they always fall over in the slightest hint of wind. I have no love for these shitey 2 bedroom new builds either, but shoddy brick beats wood, if the three little pigs taught me anything, and we're crammed on a tiny island with no mexican labourers that take cash in hand.

 

As for your chip n pin, does the United States still just rely on a magnetic strip and signature as fraud prevention?

Ye found me then, and no i don't have Leightons missing teeth.

How is this being funded?

Total project cost of

[ollie1903]

I'm all for what the building is and any place that quaffs one's thirst for knowledge is good for me, but you see thon artists impression? It looks fook all like the actual structure. It does in shape but the colour is more akin to my grandma's old Aadvocaat tumblers.

[Bebo]

Stolen aff somebody's flickr.

 

 

 

[King Street Loon]

Looks a'right but like others have said it looks stupid in amongst all those old buildings.

Go home Kelt, we don't need your type round these parts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW That library is an abortion, already looks manky and run down.

[tup]

Fucking yanks, nothing is good enough for them, and you could get a whole carpark of our cars in the boot of one of theirs, they call Loch Ness a puddle, and why the fuck do we not have any skyscrapers, third world tactics, nobody smokes cigars, and no-one is walking around brooding with handguns in their belts, ready for massacring innocent civilians for sport.

 

I'd rather get my car keyed than get my house jacked.

[Bluto10]

isnt it great they built edinburgh castle next to the train station.
