I'd take paedos that can churn out quality programming over ** Arse and fucking Dick any day of the week. ** By Arse and Dick I actually mean Ant and Dec. 1 Link to comment

Admin Bebo Posted May 3, 2023 Admin Share Posted May 3, 2023 Thankfully fuck all cooncil money went towards it. It's funded by the chamber of commerce. Think it's meant to light up like this: The anti-woke brigade on here are going to love when they switch it to rainbow colours. Link to comment
Roger Ramjet 62 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I like it but I do have a few rather major concerns. The quality of the installation is appalling. Blocks of wood used to level it off? Really. It's ridiculous and shows the city in a bad light. Looks like a cowboy job. Sort of thing you'd expect a shite DIY enthusiast to do when putting a shed up in his back garden. If a job is worth doing then it's worth doing right. It lights up and from what I see today it's even capable of showing video. My worry is they'll use it to promote disgusting things that this city should have nothing to do with. I worry it will be lit up in hun colours for the coronation on Saturday for example. I also suspect it'll be rainbow colours for the gay day. It should only ever be lit up in red, white or red and white. Nothing else. Link to comment

Was in getting currency for impending holiday. Local PO was wanting to rob me blind with their shitey exchange rate. As an aside the Aberdeen sign in the Castlegate looks £36,999 too expensive.

There’s not one single councillor who has a fucking clue and they will not listen to folk that have actually made cash through business by having a clue. Just accept it, better for your blood pressure. Link to comment
