If you're closing that section of Union Street and pedestrianise it, why not move all pubs into that section and have outdoor bits? Surely easier to police as well. Pubs/clubs. Eateries in another section also. Shops can be scattered about in the empty ones or use some of the bookies. There is also no need for 4 shopping malls at all. Totally. And this is the chance to completely rethink the layout now so many places are empty. Link to comment

manboobs109 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I've been in Aberdeen twice recently and both times I've seen someone on some kind of powered unicycle. Is this a common thing or have I just seen the same cunt twice? Link to comment

It was nuts. I was driving past it one evening when this guy came running out the door in front of me ,bounced across my bonnet onto the street,rolled a couple of times ,got up and just kept running. He had to be hurt but I doubt if felt it till the next day. Link to comment

Says it all when Dundee us looking a hell of a lot better and more welcoming than our city centre and you're right about the 4 malls, ridiculous really. If I'm ever in town which is rarely nowadays, I'm only ever in Union Square. Just so sad to see the state of the place 7 hours ago, Fridge said: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeen/3313744/jumpin-jaks-aberdeen/ Used to be full of tarts. Always frequented Oscars, was gutted when it closed. First night of Jumpin Jaks opening, me and my mate walked in, I went up to the bar, he went for a slash, was away to have a scoof of our drink and then got grabbed by bouncers and thrown out. Got outside and they said we had been seen fighting with some other guys. Obviously was mistaken identity but they weren't having any of it. Utter pricks but to be fair place was usually shit any other time was there afterwards so did us a favour Link to comment

Was still hoping for a pair of Adidas Kicks. Ala 1983. or Mambas. Closed for good I believe, I went in a few months ago and the old boy had retired and there was nothing of value there. The state of the stock looked like the shop was set up for @Dad types, trainers that looked like polio boots and other dodgy looking shite. 1 Link to comment
