I’m still here, just quietly deleting spam off a website that nobody uses any more. They’ll all come back one day. Aaaany day now. 

I don’t have physical copies but I have MP3s of both:

I’m currently selling this guitar  Sadly it’s been sitting in two parts for the last few years so I’m selling the pickup separately then trying to get someone to buy the guitar with one pickup and a wonky neck separately.

I watched a film called "Run" on Netflix. It wasn't great tbh.

The one set in Fraserburgh?

Didn’t do this. Maybe the 50th. 

We have Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats, although Deliveroo are on my shitlist at the moment as I tried to get a Burger King delivered a few weeks ago when I was hungover to bits and badly craving some greasy food. I got a notification that the fuckhead was outside and my phone rang for maybe 1 second then cut off. I looked out the window and couldn’t see him so I looked on the map and he was about 3 streets away. So I tried to ring him but he never picked up. About 5 minutes pass and I get a notification saying Your driver can’t wait much longer please go down and meet him. But he still isn’t picking up the phone and I can he hasn’t moved. Then I get another notification saying “Your driver has left, he’s left your meal with number 138 or 142.” I live at number 20..... plus he didn’t even appear to be on the right street. It just said 138 or 142. 

So I message Deliveroo and tell them what’s happened and they ask their stupid questions then say “I’m really sorry about that, I’ll arrange a refund”. And I say “I don’t want a refund I want my food. Can you just send me out another order?” And they say “no sorry we can’t do that” and I say “but that’s ridiculous” etc and that goes back and forth for a while. And then just to top it off they message me with and say oh sorry about this but we tried to process the refund and it’s been referred to our anti-fraud department or some shite, so they need to review it, they’re not back in until Monday (this was a Saturday) and then it will take 48-72 hours to be processed. So I’m like, you throw my food over a hedge then I have to wait 5 days for a refund. Amazing. 
 

Then I ordered the exact same thing from the same restaurant with Just Eat and it arrived within 20 minutes. Chili cheese bites, onion rings, Whopper, the lot. 
 

Basically fuck Deliveroo forever.

Do you like Mexican food? 

To be honest the decline of this forum has made me fear that if it goes offline we may lose the archives forever. 

I love Mexican food. 
 

Neil has said in the past that with the traffic the site still gets (i think it’s still quite high on the Google results) the site basically pays for itself and doesn’t cost anything to run, so he’s no intention of taking it down. I hope that’s still the case. The archives are gold. It’s a shame all the images in the posts are gone and a lot of the posts are just blank. But still. 

I’ve had McDonalds delivered. The food is pretty much the worst food to be fair. Burger King is miles better. Bigger, meatier burgers that are actually hot, ace chips, onion rings, and Chili Cheese Bites with nothing at McDonalds can even come close to. GTFO with your mozzarella dippers McDonalds. I’ll give McDonalds the McFlurry. Ok and the apple pie. None of Burger King’s desserts are good. 
 

I’ve re-read most of the thread, it took me several hours. 

I’m enjoying Sex Education a lot at the moment. Also just rounding off Parks and Recs and on to season 4 of Baywatch.

Is there any taxi company's in aberdeen that would go to mcdonalds and get food and take it too your house ?

This question is amazing before you even get into the grammatical errors.

Yes. Taxi companies probably would if you phoned them and asked. Try it.

They wouldn't laugh at you at all.

It's nonsense though. You'd end up paying about 15 for a McDonalds. A Fucking McDonalds. There isn't any worse food available that could be delivered to your house than fucking McDonalds. You could have a main course at the Cults hotel for 15.

McFuckingDonalds?!

You all mocked cool1 and he was basically inventing Deliveroo two years before Deliveroo existed. Visionary.

Aberdeen doesn’t miss you.

 

(I am posting this purely because of your tweet, you gimp)

Dislike. 

Just read this whole thread.  I miss Aberdeen. 

I’ve never eaten at Taco Bell. 

I’m coping ok, my wife has mild symptoms so we’re in full-on self isolation for two weeks, can’t even go out for a walk or go out for milk. I’m pretty good at entertaining myself though and I’m actually kind of loving all the extra time to read books and read comics and play games. Classic introvert, ha. Obviously I am worried about my family and it sucks being so far away from them. It’s a scary ass fucking time, I think it’s important to concentrate on keeping yourself sane and doing whatever you need to do to get yourself through it. Spend as much time as you can doing things you enjoy, find escapism in whatever means works for you, try not to spend too much time reading the news sites and scrolling through social media because you’ll only freak yourself out. There’s literally fuck all you can do but concentrate on self care and look out for your loved ones.

Also a tuna-squeezer that you can tip a tin of tuna in to and squeeze all the fishy water out of it without getting it all over your fingers. It would look a lot like a potato ricer. Tbh I just use a potato ricer for this and it works perfectly but I could rebrand it, maybe put a fish on the handle. The Tuna Skweez.

I think with coffee there needs to be some kind of compression involved. The water has to be pushed through the coffee in some way, rather than simply steeped. The one-cup cafetiere is probably as close as you'd come.

Things have been invented since this thread was started #2. 

I think they’re reading it and stealing our ideas. 

Shame but hopefully he's done well off the sale of the building. And yeah there must be stock buried in there that hasn't seen the light of day for 40 years. Its a warehouse sale on its own. 

Honey Boy. Shia LaBeouf's autobiographical film about his shitty childhood, in which he also plays his own alcoholic abusive father. Bleak. As. Fuck. 

****

The problem with Arsenal is they try to walk it in.

Yes, it's still open for now. The way the roof is looking they might have to close. Aberdeen has changed alot in recent times even I could not keep up. The police are moving into Marischal (or however it's bloody spelt) College.

I really do miss this forum. I'm coming up for 24 now.

I'm a month off 40 

Is it actually still open? I'm back in the city for a couple of days next month, I must go in for a look around. 

16 years is my favourite thread revival ever, well done

I've talked about this in another thread. For my 30th in January i'm going to get all my mates in the Belmont to watch Animal House, and then back to mine for a toga party. Toga! Toga! Toga! Toga!

I didn't do this. Maybe the 40th.

'Symbolic' by Death. Appropriately, for this site.

I'm still here, just kind of watching over nothing. I deleted some spam the other day, that was sort of exciting. I feel a bit like Holly at the start of Red Dwarf, like it's just been me on my own for 3 million years. Don't leave Dan, I'm ever so lonely. 

OK, let's get started.
