I've had good experiences with Laws also.

 

They put on tyres for me that were bought elsewhere also. 

 

If you do opt for an online purchase, either blackcircles or camskill are the places to look for good prices.

 

Which model of tyre were you looking at (and sizes)?

Cheers chaps, much appreciated.

I'm looking for 195/60r15 88h tyres.

Car has alloys.

Anyone got any recommendations for decent garages etc for buying new tyres?

All four will be needing changed in the near future!

Still, at least the car passed the MOT, for once....

It is pretty reasonable aye, not much more expensive than your average pub.

Have been a couple of times now and can't really fault the food.

Menu is here:

Was it reasonably priced?

 

A massive pet hate of mine in restaurants is tables too close together.

Roll on hometime! I need a beer.

This weekend I have my car MOT which will no doubt result in my wallet taking a(nother) hefty hit after getting engaged this week.

This means I will also miss the Dons game tomorrow which is probably a blessing in disguise.

Anyone want my season ticket for the day? No, didn't think so.

Can't wait to see another football masterclass from the Dons tonight, may go for (need) a beer before/after.

Tomorrow continues the beer and football theme with a few of the LADS coming round to drink my first batch of homebrew, hopefully no-one is sick or goes blind.

The trifecta will be completed on Sunday by playing football and going for a post game pint.

Blackfriars in Merchant City is cracking.

Decent grub too.

Not really interested in buying a DSLR as Phil says a steep learning curve and don't have time to devote to it. Plus, they are massive.

Just looking for a general use camera.

I think its between the Sony HX20V and the Samsung NX1000....

This seems like the coorect place to ask for some help... buying a new camera and been advised the following choices:

Can anyone help me narrow it down and advise the best out of the following.

Not looking to get into photography in a major way, just for holidays and general use.

Playing Glasgow o2 Academy on the 2nd June. £35. Oocha.

Long shot here but I don't suppose anyone knows the make of the picture frames that used to be sold in the art shop next to the music hall that has closed now?

They were cracking quality and well priced and Hobbycraft is full of rubbish.

Failing that, any other places in town that aren't a total rip?

Have you tried the vinyl yet? There have been horror stories over quality control issues.

No, I haven't even opened it yet, just arrived a couple of days ago

Picked up the Mellon vinyl box set for £45... very nice it is too.

Fuck paying over £100 for the CD copy though, what a rip.

I would have expected the vinyl version to be the more expensive one!

That does look pretty sweet.

Out of interest, how much would the aeroplane flies high box set be worth in mint condition, still sealed in original packaging?

I have one of these too, never opened it. Got it for about £15 I seem to remember.

Doubt I'll incest in that fancy edition of MCIS, £140 is just too much money, so I'll probably just download the tracks that I want to hear.

I would have bought if for half that price perhaps. The other reissue box sets have been less than £30... The vinyl set does look nice mind you.

At £140 each though I won't be picking them up for quite some time. Ouch!

Anyone know where you can buy Bundaberg Ginger Beer in Aberdeen? Do any of the supermarkets sell it?

Fuck me Jamie Langfield is AWFUL!

Just about finished my first season with the Dons.

Won the league cup and the title (Celtic were about 12 points ahead at one point).

Just one more league game and the Scottish cup final to go (against Celtic).

Shame it isn't real. I need to splash the cash close season.

Anyone remember this guy?

Aye, he was fucking terrible. And cost over 500K... maybe it was nearer 700K. Fuck me.

Still not as bad as Kiriakov though.

Edit: Turns out it was 750K! Brian O'Neill was 800K! Jesus wept.

Tonight: Football manager and beer.

Tomorrow: Housewarming/1st birthday party in the afternoon. In the evening I am going to Chris wedding reception and after that I have a birthday party to attend in town. BUSY!

Sunday: Play football and recover.

Ugh, I'm addicted again. Set it all up last night and downloaded all the patches etc.

Signed Riordan and Maurice Ross for the Dons.

Pre-season done.

Will start the season tonight. Still, keeps me out the pub.

Good formations for the Dons... anyone?

Aye they will work on a mac no problem at all, file locations will be a bit different as you'll know, but as long as the file is in the right place it will work

Cheers min, I'll no doubt end up back hooked on this and buy the new game at the end of the month. Anything to keep me out of the pub....

Do these updates work on the Mac too anyone? About to start a game of this, picked up a copy and haven't played for YEARS.

Got so pished on Friday after the Scotland game and felt so bad on Saturday morning that I had to go get pished again.

Sunday was AWFUL (and I had to play football).

Fuck you Craig Levein.

Football is a game for wifies these days. Quite embarrassing really. What a bunch of fairies.

Bring back the 80s, proper muddy pitches, perms, moustaches. Real men.

Fuck that. Sounds like a great excuse to immediately switch bank.

Instead, I'm going to go to Ma Camerons straight after work (likely get soaked again), have a heap of pints and watch the Scotland game.

Then change banks on Monday
