  1. nah sorry. what an absolute fuckhead.

    the guy is a first class prick anyway.

    how can you not like John Peel anyway? What did he ever do wrong? Wasnt like he put himself in any position not to be liked.

    His music is absolute twaddle and anyone that likes it is lying to themsleves!! The fucker cant even sing. Listen to Nick Drake. You wont listen to Oberst again.

    I don't mind the guys music, I bought the last album and quite liked it, but I think he acted like a total arsehole this weekend :down: Even if he didn't think much of John Peel, onstage at a gig where the tent was NAMED AFTER THE GUY, and Peel's family is in attendance, is hardly the place to air these opinions.

    Apparently he also goaded the crowd alot and called them a bunch of smelly hippies. The same smelly hippies that are spending hard earned to buy his CDs and come to his shows.

  2. ISeaton Arms and Martin's Bar in Aberdeen were always the ones students were warned to avoid' date=' but the Belmont in my experience was far worse. [/quote']

    Agreed. I went in one St Patricks night because Drummonds had ran out of Guinness. I don't think we even got as far as asking for drinks, we just bailed. I might be a pussy, but that place has an air of intimidation about it as soon as you walk in the door.

  3. Fraserburgh pubs -

    Oak Tree - shit, full of old folks dancing on the seats, bad karaoke

    Balaclava - generally OK but full of minks.

    Brewers - Shit, old mans pub

    Cheers - closed!

    Crown - Probably the most old mannieist pub in the world, but I still like it, upstairs can be good for the young uns. The guinness is minging.

    George & Dragon - Nice enough bar, but full of schoolkids, still better than the Mariners though

    Royal Bar - the bar with the least atmosphere in the world (I know i used to work there)

    Moorings nightclub - the nightclub with the least atmosphere in the world (i know I used to work there). Good place to go if you want to get stabbed.

    DJs - Hideously overpriced, disgustingly overcrowded, full of arseholes, shit music, bouncers and door staff are cunts, full of schoolkids, good place to go if you want to get bottled.

    Elizabethan - full of arseholes, but not too bad a pub.

    Kenyan - no actually this is the old manniest bar in the world

    Bellslea Sports Bar - ned central

    Station / Boozer - Boozer is OK but really quiet, dont know why it never took off

    Finlays - a good pub. The only pub in Broch I drink in if I can help it.

    The Ship - This place is hell. So busy, full of idiots off their nuts on fuck knows what, too hot, too crowded, very intimidating, not enough seats, full of young sluts.

    The toolies club - It's a big empty hall that nobody ever goes too, with a jukebox in the corner.

  4. The pubs in Fraserburgh are great' date=' if you like underage annoying little neds.

    I wouldnt say they are rough though, not once have i got into a fight in one.

    Cheers was a great pub, everyone knew your name. Almost. Pity its closed now.[/quote']

    I practically grew up in Cheers, it was great when Martin Buchan owned it but it went downhill when he sold up, the Liz Pirie years are infamous. Apparently on the last night it was open they couldn't afford to buy any drink from the cash and carry or pay the deliviries, so it opened selling nothing but Buckfast, bought on the cheap. I dont know if that's true but its funny if it is.

  5. Schooner - novelty value only. Go there the morning after being burgled to buy your stolen goods back at a knock down price.

    .

    Ha ha - true! I finish work at 7am and have occasion gone down for a pint after work - always get offered rolling tobacco, sometimes hash, and a guy came in once in with a suitcase selling t-shirts and socks. :gringo:

  6. I recommend Fraserburgh. Every pub there is rough.

    AS for Aberdeen harbour, Crown & Anchor is great for a spot of drunken karaoke on a friday night. The Criterion is a bit of a slum. And the Schooner is legendary, I tell you you meet some interesting people in there at 7 in the morning.

    By interesting I mean crazy.

    That's about as far as I've ventured, despite having lived in 3 different flats at the harbour, I used to like the Crows Nest but I drove past this morning and it's shut down.

    Roughest pub I've visited must be the one next door to RS McColls on the Castlegate, now that's a fucking shithole.

  7. A truly inspired response :laughing: now why don't you go off with your teenage angst and write a song about how your girlfriend left you and how you get bullied at school because you're different.

    Shadowstalkers insult was much better.

    I'd also like to add that the Verve's Urban Hymns is shit, apart from Bittersweet Symphony.

    Also the Stone Roses Second Coming.

  8. I cant draw

    Toward the middle, you are a realist.

    Facing front, you are direct, enjoy playing devil's advocate and neither fear nor avoid discussions.

    With few details, you are emotional and naive, they care little for details and are a risk-taker.

    With 4 legs showing, they are secure, stubborn, and stick to their ideals.

    The size of the ears indicates how good a listener you are.

    The bigger the better. You drew medium sized ears, you are a good listener

    The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life.

    And again more is better! You drew medium sized tail

  9. Meredith Brooks - "Blurring The Edges"

    Aerosmith - "Permanaent Vacation" (I have all their albums and this is a really bad one)

    Happy Mondays - "Yes Please"

    Yes - "Tormato"

    Lemon Jelly - "64-95"

    Alanis Morrisette - "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" (how did she manage to follow up such an amazing album with such a shite one?)

    Pearl Jam - "No Code" (I love Pearl Jam but this is their "permanent vacation")

    Pink Floyd - "The Division Bell" (the sad demise of a once innovative, exciting, incredible band into middle age mediocrity) (Though in saying that, Floyd rule!)

    Primal Scream - "Dirty Hits" (I hate Primal Scream)

    Razorlight - "Up All Night" (A poor mans Libertines, damn you NME for making me part with 12 on your recommendation)

    Gwen Stefani - "Love Angel Music Baby" (Damn you Q, see above)

  10. I was crowd surfing at Skunk Anansie in the Music Hall in 1996 and as I got near the front some girl decided not to put her hands up and I got dropped right on my head. As I was lying on the floor I was worried about getting trampled on because it was so crushed and I had no room to get up, so I reached up to ask her to help me to get up, stupid bitch just started jumping up and down and lotsa people were stepping on me. Some guy behind her eventually helped me up, had a few bumps and bruises but nothing too painful, was pretty scary though being trampled on.

    Later on in the gig I accidentally headbutted her and broke her nose. I felt a bit guilty but sort of justified at the same time.
