People can have different views to you without the need to use such low level language. You never answered my previous question about how you are related? Again. Link to comment

They'll get jobs elsewhere. Scotia Homes have already advertised for joiners and roughcasters that have been laid off to approach them. Link to comment

It’s law of the jungle. The sooner construction starts offering proper terms and contracts, the better for everyone. Private snagging firms are the only beneficiaries of price work. Link to comment

Must have been a very strange bid if a bank allows the company to go bust rather than allow a sale that in itself is strange. Will be interesting to see the full facts of their debts. I know the company owe some suppliers well over £150000. Hope they survive as comfortably as Milne will. Happens all the time with banks. The virgin hotel in Glasgow closed after the company that owned it went bust. Virgin tried to buy the hotel, but the bank knocked back the bid. Link to comment

The bath going was a calamity. Fence going is good news. Videos of the crowd rushing the fence after a goal are cringeworthy as fuck anyway. Good riddance. Bring back the bath. 1 2 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Good to see the back of the fence. Chance to get more Reds into Pittodrie and less away fans. Improves the view from the South Stand of that corner of the pitch as well. Win - win. Link to comment
