Adam Easy Wishes.. in the Globe last night.. about 7ish

They don't deliver south of the River Dee, so I think they can cram their pizza up their lazy backsides.

Actually, I did some digging and they don't even go as far as Union Street. Come on, I used to walk from the centre of town to Woodside pished as a fart in 45 mins - including a stop at Thains.

So it's strictly a Northern thing I see. Enjoy it then, you gits.

I'm pretty sure I saw Papa John's posters in a shop window on Holburn Street, which would suggest another branch is opening? I could be wrong though.

Nope, or certainly not when I had it.

It was like a really disgusting garlic butter type thing I got. Too buttery.

It's just like a tub of cheap, melted - turned room temperature - butter that happens to have a modicum of garlic essence.

Seriously awful.

i have a two seater and a single seater sofa you can have free if you can pick up

its one of them snazzy serano bastards

Have your sofas been taken yet?

If not.. what colour are they? any chance of a photo? and where do they need picked up from?

Thanks!

p.s. - apologies for hi-jacking the thread but i'm in need of furniture on the cheap too..

I'll tell you what's ace-ic.. when you're in a car park and someone, who is just about to leave, gives you the ticket they bought. I love not having to give Aberdeen City Council parking money at the utterly ridiculous rates that they charge.

I just saw a cyclist with a flat tyre carrying his bike. He definitely didn't look cool.

chasing a plastic bag across a loch to avoid looking like an un-environmentally friendly bastard in front of a bunch of outdoorsy folk.

I just get stuck in at kissing the girls neck. Problem solved. You seem like a total pro as well if you're on bottom you fling her round back into missionary and start pounding her like there's a deadline.

And have these girls told you that you seem like a total pro? Or is this just something that you imagine they're thinking?

I'm a student, I don't have a job right now and I'm extremely stressed today. I have 3 exams between now and this time next week. I've worked my arse off during my time at uni and have done really well. But you never know how an exam is going to go no matter how prepared you are. And when it's your last ever uni exams, and the results have the potential to make or destroy your degree, I think the feeling of stress is more than justified.

Make a cool phone app.

I've got an idea for an app but trying to save up some moolah to make it.

How about a guitar tuner app? Is that even possible? I have no idea

I'm afraid it's been done...

Five great iPhone apps for guitar players

When people started being able to travel and communicate with other countries far away, it was decided that it might be best for everyone to be using the same time measurement. The measurement of time was therefore standardised at the place that was best at it - The Greenwich Observatory in London, and called Greenwich Mean Time. GMT.

But obviously if everywhere else on the planet used this time, they would be eating breakfast in the middle of the night or trying to sleep at the time of brightest sunshine. So they split the globe as far as possible into 24 segments so everyone could have their hour nearest to the relevant part of the day. The time ( as in minutes past the hour) was made the same, obviously.

So if GMT (i.e. in London) is taken as zero, it makes sense to make half the world to the east of there (east because of the direction of rotation) as being ahead of zero, and the half to the west of zero as being behind. That way nowhere in the world is more than 12 hours away from GMT either way. If we made everyone to the west of zero run behind zero hour (or midnight if you will), then by the time you get round to 2300 hrs you would have our nearest neighbours in Europe being almost a whole day out. Much confusion.

Thanks for that.. all makes sense now.

not mainly because us brits were once great and told everyone what the fuck to do?

I thought, as I was writing my query, that it may come across as if I had some problem with the UK not starting the day first and like I was questioning who had allowed other countries to be hours ahead of us magnificent Brits..

But I'm not a complete fud. In all honesty.. it's one of those things that I've always wondered. Why does the day not start in America and then we'd be behind them rather than a few hours ahead?

Can anyone actually explain why it is like it is? Or am I looking way too much into this...

We are 12 hours behind them. Technically. Ok we're GMT and that. But we're still 12 hours behind if they're ahead really. Silly question wasn't it?

If you're in a race and someone's in front of you, you're automatically behind them eh.

I think you missed the point..

They are on the other side of the world and there is a 12 hour time difference because of the way the world spins while rotating round the sun. But who decided that the day would start first there and then come round to us.. and not that it would start here and move round to them so that they were 12 hours behind.

Not really seeing the relevance of your race analogy..

On a related note.. I have never understood why Australia is 12 hours ahead of us. Is there a reason why it's not 12 hours behind?

As I've outlined in the "what would you invent" thead, a turbo fridge. I hate coming home from the supermarket, and having to wait a good few hours for my juice/booze to be chilled to how I like it. Putting it in the freezer for half an hour usually works, but I don't have that as an option, as I don't have a freezer in my current flat. So, if someone could invent a Turbo Fridge, since I can't, that would be swell. In my head, it looks like a microwave, but works the opposite way. Is there an opposite to microwave energy? I don't know.

I think it would be cheaper to just buy a freezer rather than a Turbo Fridge. I'd imagine that the R&D investment faced by a company when creating such a fridge would be quite sizeable.. and so the initial purchase price, when first released, would likely be high in order to cover these costs.

That said, for some reason I really do love the idea...

Wrong. The correct answer is 'always on the road'.

I read that as 'always on the roof', Thought it was a bit of a bold statement.. but the thought of sweeping a cyclist on to the top of your car after they've gone through a red light does seem quite reasonable on reflection..

I have a new found love for the televised version of Poirot, starring the wonderful David Suchet.

...and on a related note, ITV3 is fast becoming one of my favourite tv channels.

In a similar vein to some other recent threads.. Are there any really great restaurants in (or around) Aberdeen to have a celebratory meal after a graduation ceremony?

Not too fussed at the moment about what type of food.. although I guess it will have to cater for grandparents who are more accustomed to Flora's than, say, Bhan Thai..

Any recommendations, particularly from past experience, would be much appreciated..

One thing that really irks me is when cyclists expect to be treated with respect by motorists on the road, but then feel that they have the right to completely ignore red lights.

So many times I've seen pedestrians narrowly avoid being hit by cyclists who think they can keep going when there's a green man. On one occasion I saw a cyclist fall off his bike after being forced to slam on his brakes, and then he proceeded to get all pissy at the pedestrian as if it was him who had done something wrong.

Either cycle on the pavement and act like a pedestrian, or abide by the rules of the road!

There is something really horrible about that sign.

I think the worst part is thinking about how funny the person who did thought they were at the time. I bet they chuckled to themselves for ages.

And I bet there would have been a group of staff spurring the person on as it was being written.. The fact that one person thought it would be a good idea is sad but the fact that potentially a group of people found it funny is just worrying.

Why do you not get selection boxes all year round?

What are you 'reading' at university? What are you 'majoring' in?

I think the first is an old fashioned phrase and the second is American but I don't like either.

I associate the first phrase with people studying Oxbridge... It doesn't bother me as much but "majoring" is definitely another one that riles me.

Is this the second series? I saw some episodes a few months ago when he was a binman and a mum I think? It was pretty funny.

His stand up DVDs are definitely worth a watch.. and I quite liked that show "Ask Rhod Gilbert" with his flatmate and Greg Davies.

The word 'finals' - as in, 'i'm sitting my finals at uni this year.'

I dunno what it is, but there's something about it that automatically makes me think the person who has said it is pompous and full of their own self importance.
