But in general i agree with his concerns about walking about in town.

I think the point is that there are wankers everywhere so go where you feel comfortable.

Oh and I wouldn't be with my steaming drunk mates as we are all pretty sensible and I don't drink.
I dunno, there's been plenty nights we've been out and I've been your steaming drunk mate! Remember that time we were in your car and I forgot the word 'carburretor'.

I know. I should have been clearer. I'm leaving the UK... :-)
Leaving for the US so don't know if it'll be better but eventually want to move back to the Netherlands (NEDerland in Dutch).

Most people here have maybe been to Amsterdam - it's not really my favourite city but imagine moving to Aberdeen from there?

Plenty of really really good folk & good things about Aberdeen, don't get me wrong, but if you're not from around here, trust me, it's a hard place in a lot of ways.

That does worry me actually... Motorbikes you can dodge...

(joking - will be eligible but will not even go near one)

My friend knew the three boys that were on the bike.
(Don't ask how, because I really don't want to know myself.)

Anyways, she has told me that one of the boys is in a coma, and another has a broken back.

What goes around comes around it seems.

Haha, you can dodge bullets if you have the skills, or wings like a shield of steel
