What a waste of money. It just shows the Londoners got their bribery, sorry gifts, right this time.

Can see it from both sides. . .

Im really un-comfy hearing protestors being labelled anarchists for seemingly just protesting. Can also see it from the police side as it wasnt an official protest. From the news coverage, though, I think the riot police and use of batons was a bit heavy-handed. I would have used a water cannon and incited a wet t-shirt competition.

No, not a great band name. . .

Police in Edinburgh accuse a "hard core" of anarchist protesters of irresponsible behaviour. What do we think? Are the people protesting today anarchists, or were the scuffles possibly police incited?

I get a horribly named 'mega rider plus' ticket from Aberdeen to Porty for 14 a week and that can be used for all town Stagecoach services. You just buy 'em from the driver. Not sure if it covers Ellon, though. Best thing to do is phone Stagecoach, 01224 212266.

your're looking for. . .

pretty much the 'hard-to-let' areas, though.

I've got Spybot Search and Destroy (you can find it through google). You download it for free or give a donation via Paypal to the guy who runs it. I caught a dialer even though I'm firewalled up to the eyeballs and BT (the bastards) charged me a fortune. Spybot worked a treat for me...

According to the P+J, ACC are having a stoochie and can't make a decision. . .'Plans for city concert link-up venue vetoed by emergency services '

Seaton Park might be a no-go for safety concerns and the new proposal is the Exhibition Centre.

Narc - have you heard Spaced Out with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy ? It's an experience. . .

The making of man

In the beginning God created Eve. And she had 3 breasts. After three weeks in the garden, God came to visit Eve. "How're things, Eve?" He asked.

"It is all so beautiful, God," she replied. "The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful but I just have this one problem. It's these three breasts you've given me. The middle one pushes the other two out, and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches, snagging them on

bushes, they're a real pain," reported Eve.

"That's a fair point," replied God, "but it was my first shot at that you know. I gave the animals, what, six? So I just figured you'd need half, but I see that you are right. I'll fix that up right away!"

So, God reaches down and removes the middle breast, tossing it into the bushes.

Three weeks passed, and God once again visited Eve in the garden.

"Well, Eve, how's my favourite creation?" He asked.

"Just fantastic," she replied, "but for one small oversight on your part. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has her ram, the cow has her bull, all the animals have a mate, except me. I feel so alone."

God thought for a moment. "You know, Eve, you're right. How could I have overlooked this! You do need a mate and I will immediately create Man from a part of you!"

"Now, let's see ....... where did I put that useless tit?"

Har Mar Superstar, You Can Feel Me, on the recommendation of an ex-friend who said it was great and NME who gave it 9/10. I listened to it once and then tried to sell it on eBay.

I got a freebie competition ticket - can't get much better than that!

I had a great time, though the turn out was a bit poor. Is the drummer actually from Aberdeen or was that just bollocks ?

This thread is not fair !! I've had some amazing nights at the Lemon Tree, but the winner is. . . .

. . . Toots and the Maytals.

Rammed to the ceiling (spent some interesting time squished to a pillar), the music was great and the crowd bounced.

Problem is, if you ask me later, I'll have changed my mind. . .

Not yet, though I know it's something the guys are looking into...

I usually check AUBL.net, but it's not a full listing either.

It would make a nursing home carer hurl. . .

Did anybody else see Irvine Welsh at the Cowdray Hall last night ? How rough was the extract from his new book ?!?!

You'd be sweaty too if you could get 8 bars of rap out in one breath! I had a great time, and the atmosphere on the dance floor was good. Went to see Roots on Wednesday and the bad vibes were palpable....

Seen 'em in the flesh supporting Courtney Pine at the Lemon Tree. Amazingly talented. . .
