I'll be there, cheers.

yes actually' date=' i have a cd from Skittles and thats pretty much it...[/quote']

could you pass it on to me then please?

best thread ever

I doubt it.

Probably. I lied. I didn't actually know - Hilary told me' date=' and i just checked on the website, and it's not quite Dyce..hmm number 1 eh?[/quote']

number 1 or 2 will take you close. (5 min walk). number 40 ( park&ride) will take you to door.

I worked on the reception (registration) last time it was on. Easy job, meet lots of people, but long shifts (8 till 7 or something) . if your nice to the boss ppl then they might let you go home early on the last day but pay you till the end of your shift , if you chat to the IT guy he might show you how to get online too.

the money's not bad. i think i made about around 370 for the week.

I am 5% Emo.

That'll do me

Okay... so you're not emo at all.. you're probably not even goth, because goths are just messed up emo kids... you're probably a metal head... or into boy bands...

merton or lynam????

its a tough one i think

You can't replace Whitley, but i'd go with Merton.

I don't think Des would be very funny, but then he is the housewife's choice.

You can get some good deals if your willing to move a bit further from the centre of town.

I got a nice 2 bedroom flat on GNR at top of st machar drive for 30k a few years ago. Close to aberdeen uni and 25 min walk to town (or bus every 10 mins if your a lazy bastard). Value probably hasn't increased much, but mortgage is cheaper than renting.

Full time or part time?

A lot of the high street shops will be looking for Christmas temps to start around September/October. If you're any good they might even keep you on permanently.

Just go in and ask at as many places as you can.

Last time they played the Lemon Tree I guess, found it on their website www.electriceelshock.com

Electric Eel Shock

Because in the case of tripping on a curb' date=' an action surely down to the individual's own lack-of-awareness, suing the council could be accurately deemed 'gold-digging'?[/quote']

It depends. If you trip and it's your own fault, then you have no right to sue someone over it. If you trip over because of the negligence of a council worker, they haven't filled in a drain properly and left it unmarked for example, then you could sue if you were injured I suppose.

I remember something about the council having a duty to make sure there are no slabs, drains, etc protruding more than a couple of inches from the actual pavement. Maybe I made that up though.

Rock, Paper, Saddam!

After a quick search I found this has been posted before, but it was more than a year ago. It deserves a repost. So there!

Chinese takeaway from Chopsticks on Great Northern Road.

Expensive comfort food, but I'd probably end up eating a fiver worth of crisps and chocolate anyway.

'tis an awsome but brutal film. I've not watched it for ages, but considered buying it on dvd. You can get both versions in a cool metal box.

The scene with the ball in the sock is so disturbingly brutal.

KASULE...Victor Kasule used to play for ?

Vodka Victor spent the best part of his career at Albion Rovers I think.

I've just been looking at the list of things you can't post my Royal Mail: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=400044&mediaId=400255

About halfway down the first list it says 'Filth'. How do they define that? You can't post a letter that's got a bit of muck on it? or you can't post some potting compost? Porn? Poo?

Just seemed like a bit of a weird one next to all the strict Civil Aviation Authority definitions.

I'd visit all the family and friends I wanted to see...

..Then order a hotel room, a selection of high-class hookers and a mountain of cocaine.

I don't think everyone has to be silent through a gig, but I certainly don't think people should be stood mid-crowd discussing their weekend plans or last night's football matches. It's out of respect for the paying audience, not the artist.

The thing that really gets me is at bigger gigs (Music hall, AECC, and esp. T in the Park) people clapping along to EVERY FUCKING SONG. Now, I enjoy a good clap-a-long, it's great when it's done at the right moments. But I actually want to hear the band at some point without everyone adding their own unfathomable time signature. I've only really seen it with bands who have probably been on Top of the Pops, where the majority of the audience are not regular gig-goers and their musical taste doesn't extend beyond Radio 1's daytime playlist (That sounds really snobby ) but it still irritates me. Anyone else noticed this?

saga...

apparently episode 3's gonna be out before christmas

Ep. 3 is out on October 31st, 2dvd set just like Episode 1 & 2.

Episode 1/2/3 box set probably out early next year, and a 1/2/3/4/5/6 set sometime before xmas 2006.

Most sets of 5 or more movies are called 'collection' or 'box set' ( Rocky is an 'anthology' though).

I have heard 'saga' mentioned in relation to Star Wars. Not that it really matters.

It's micheal shead or something along those lines' date=' couldn't make out his signature properly and the rest were easier to read. He is also an Aberdonian.[/quote']

Michael Sheard is a legend and his filography shows he has the art of playing Nazis down to a T: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0790410/

I've met david prowse' date=' peter mayhew (chewbacca), jermey bulloch (boba fett), kenny baker and Mr Bronson from Grange Hill.[/quote']

I've met David Prowse, Kenny Baker and Ian McDiarmid all on totally unrelated random occasions. Why can't I meet non Star Wars celebs??

Don't think anyone in my family is famous. My Dad is infamous for getting drunk at The Great Keith Show a few years back and having his rigger boots stolen off his feet while asleep in the pub. My uncle used to tell me he played for Aberdeen but that was a lie. Not very exciting.

ahem...EH!?

A couple of years ago there was a dominatrix (sp?) using the basement of her house in Newmill to entertain paying clients . Outrage in the Banffie. I think she was forced out by the council because she hadn't informed them the house was being used as a business premises.

Only referance to it I can find online is in the Highland League doric roundup from oct 2002:

http://www.highlandleague.net/doric.cfm?regionalID=32

Newmill is a hotbed of intellectual titans' date=' FACT.[/quote']

And seedy bondage dungeons o_O

Notice it ain't the friendly town if you're coming in from the Newmill end

Newmillers already know what to expect and they can't read anyway
