Hello People,

I'm looking for two tickets for A Tribute to Johnny Cash for this Saturday night (16th of Sept) at the Lemon Tree.

Has anybody got a couple of spare tickets they'd like to off-load?

I am female and I fucking love fish.

Mussels and prawns and octopus and sea bass and sushi and lemon sole and crab...

Simply orgasmic.

I'm a girl - and I love fish. Eat fresh fish about twice a week and tinned/smoked fish once a week. I don't eat red meat, though...

A.Pel - have to been to The Chef Jang's in the Aberdeen Market? Their sashimi selection is lovely (if you dig raw fish, that is).

Triptych have updated their website with a media player of past and coming up artists.

It's rather fecking good....

As far as I can remember, going in wouldn't be a problem, but I think some of the eating area is downstairs. . .

There's pre-sales tickets available....

I had a work function last night and got stuck in a corner with a fruitarian. I'm not making this up, he only ate raw fruit and veg and particular types of seeds and nuts. He doesn't drink anything as there's enough fulids in the fruit. WTF????? No bacon softies or beer, the man must be barmy.

There's also the disused health centre on the corner of Whinhill Road / Great Southern Road. It's a relatively modern ugly square bastard with boarded up windows.

What do you need it for? The old hyrdo building at the bottom of Crown Street is being demolished just now and rebuilt at flats. It's good if you want to take photos of granite blocks....

Yeah, there's plenty of 'service industry' jobs. You can job hunt via the internet if you want to search before you arrive, but you might be better walking from hotel to hotel dropping off your CV.

Aberdeen is an oil and student town. The uni has a good reputation with many foreign students. Industry is based around the North Sea. I've found that Glasgow is better for clubs / nights out and Edinburgh is better for tourist sight-seeing. People from Aberdeen (Aberdonians) are seen as mean with money, but I have found people generally friendly.

I've been trying to find out more abou tthis..but can't (I'll keep looking)...

I am sure it was a tv programme' date=' about africa, where they couldn't aford to kill the cow, as it supplied milk and dung (fetiliser), and they'd shave bits of its fatty areas (or "the bulkiest / non vital (!) parts) off (small thin slices), and treated the "wound" till it healed...

I couldn't dream something this wierd...[/quote']

Tribes from Kenya drink camel blood. Is that what you're thinking of? I can't vouch for its taste, but it is nutritious. . .

Not sure if this has been posted here before, but my prediction is that 'while in a hardware store, a strange man picks up an axe and attacks you with it, dismembering your body.'

Wanna put down bets?

So who all actually went along yesterday and today to the donor sessions?

Extra points if you fainted.

I went last night, and walked out without giving a donation. The place had a queue out the door (literally) and although I was there by 5pm, I probably wouldn't be taken until 7pm. GRRRRR! Not that I want to put anybody off, you can make an appointment by calling 01224 685685 instead.

Could be a long-shot' date=' but does anyone have a spare oasis ticket for the AECC show kicking around that i could take off their hands for a handsome sum.[/quote']

I know I'm late to the party, but are you still looking for tickets? I've just phoned 0870 272 6600 (the SECC booking line) and there's still tickets available. You can collect them at the venue. . .

i once thought the same of that band. then i actually listened to it and immediately retracted my previous opinions.

Either that or myspace. . . http://www.myspace.com/testicicles

There's a couple of tunes to down load. . .

We do this every year at work. Last year I bought a triops kit from the natural world shop. Then we had pets. Then they all died when they sloshed down the back of the plotter...

That's the tickets sold. . . .

scottNP has pulled out as he's got tickets elsewhere. . .is anybody else interested?

I've got 2 tickets for tonights gig for sale at the exhibition centre. Face value. . .no booking fee! I can drop them off in town or the venue.

360 hello?

I went past this place the other day and was like....hmm' date=' hello! XBOX CAFE! ^_^

Do you have Halo 2? Is there 8 controllers for the 2 XBOX's?

I think I'd have to take my friends over and kick some booty!!

sounds like a nice place! Will there be beer?

Logan no function beer well without.[/quote']

Last thing I heard, there will be no booze. You're gonna have to function on coffee alone....

If you don't test animals' date=' how will you know that they work?[/quote']

I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

Stephen Fry

In fact few breakthroughs have been made as a result of animal experimentation - its advocates have overstated its achievements. There has been a catalogue of errors and failures in animal testing' date=' which its advocates gloss over; as many as half the drugs that have been approved in the US and the UK after animal testing have subsequently had to be withdrawn because of harmful side-effects.[/quote']

Not wanting to believe everything I read in the media, but as far as I am aware the BMA are still advocating the use of animals for testing. As they are more qualified than me, I will let them make that decision. When doctors and scientist tell me it is unnessary, then I will campaign against the use of animals. Up until that point, I think they should left to do their jobs in peace.

Simple answer: Yes. I'm wildly more important than 1, 100 or even 1000 gerbils. So are my family. If the testing is necessary to the advacement of medical research we all benefit.

OK, here's what I think, for what it is worth. I'm not a racist. I do, however, love the differences between cultures and don't want for people to lose their identity to brand us 'all the same'.

So, to quote Monty Python;

'I like Chinese,

I like Chinese,

They only come up to your knees,

Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.

Verse: (in Chinese)

Chorus: I like Chinese,

I like Chinese,

Their food is guaranteed to please,

A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lychees.

Chorus: I like Chinese,

I like Chinese,

I like their tiny little trees,

Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese.'

Go ahead, call me a racist. I'll say you're hyper-sensitive with no sense of humour.
