    In other news..... Police have named the Glasgow terror attack suspects: driver Singed Majeep and passenger Massif Burntheed will appear in Court tomorrow. They are believed to have been taking part in the Muslim festival of Ramavan.
  3. I know that the place wasn't doing well financially, but I also heard that First Leisure missed the boat on re-applying for their Liqueur License. This was probably the final nail in the coffin. The building was leased to First Leisure by European Developments, who have been trying to offload the place for a good while now. European Developments are better known as Verase Ltd, who amongst other things own many fine establishments in Aberdeen including the Budz Bar, that we all know and love....uh-hem. Last I heard was that one of the Directors of ill fated Chimes Construction, tried to buy it for some religious organisation that he headed. I think he was wanting to turn it into an evangelical'esk type place. IMO theres not much they could do from a planning perspective on that building, which has clearly limited potential lessee's.
  4. Yep, the possibility of Miller playing upfront with the guy who terminated his contract at united for being lazy sounds awkward.
  5. My mobiles never seem to make it to a full year in one piece before my free upgrade , so have never had the opportunity to cash in on e-bay yet. I'm not sure about buying 2nd hand mobiles, but I think there are websites that buy 2nd hand mobiles to sell on to more deprived areas of the world, or places where mobiles are harder to get hold of.
  6. Is there not another 7*hotel in Milan?? I think is is on a much smaller scale sizewise, but its definitely a 7* job
  7. Is 5* not generally a plush hotel with everything up to the luxury of a decent swimming pool and golf course? I always thought the extra 2 stars came from the availability of an onsite Marina and Helipad in hand with close perfection on the luxury scale, if there is one. I think the substitution of rooms for suites might also be a factor in getting you past 5*.
  8. Still doesn't get away from the fact that RGU have one of the highest straight to employment success rates, which was kind of where my post was aimed at. I Don't really care who signed my degree to be honest.....mickey mouse or pluto. As I said before I went to uni with the intention of getting a specific job when I graduated. BTW If you failed all your exams you must have spent a year or two doing some type of HNC/HND access course, to get into a relative degree course. Nay quite being snapped up is it? You're right though student life is grand. If I wasn't so skint all the time I wouldn't of got a job in a bar and met my future wife....I think mickey mouse also signed her degree, he'll sign anything the mug.
  9. I'm no expert but I think thats a pretty inconclusive statement, unless of course you're friends with the entire student population of Aberdeen? I would guess that stakes are probably even in that respect, stretching it out across the board. I could be wrong though....someone will now no doubt produce a poll that backs your personal experience. These kinds of things always happen to me.
  10. I wouldn't go that far, but I agree that Aberdeen is for the more academic of mind. I think most people who go or went to RGU (myself included) have done so because you actually get a degree that actually means something to an employer. I could of gone to Aberdeen Univ, but didn't because I had an idea of what I wanted to doalready, and did a far more practical and relevant course at RGU that would get me there faster. I'm not academic and would never attain to be, but thats not to say that its a bad thing. Its good that theres a choice.
  11. Yes, I later heard they were in attendance....seems that most people I know went to that very gig and subsequent aftershow. The swines:swearing: BTW well done on the urinal banter though....quality:up:
  12. Terrorvision at the Music Hall, when I was 16. Remember getting refused admission for the aftershow at the Palace afterwards....I've never gotten over that
  13. Thanks for brightening up my afternoon:up:
  14. Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Dingle. They head to the bird section and Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem." The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere," says Gerry. The owner puts the budgies in a cardboard box. Paddy and Gerry pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the top of the Connor Pass. At the Connor Pass , Gerry looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, "Dis looks like a grand place." He takes two birds out of the box, puts one on each shoulder and jumps off the cliff. Paddy watches as the budgies fly off and Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead. Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his head and says, "Fook dat. Dis budgie jumping is too fook'n dangerous for me!" THERE'S MORE... Moment's later, Seamus arrives up at Connor Pass. He's been to the pet shop too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another cardboard box in one hand and a shotgun in the other. "Hi, Paddy. Watch dis," Seamus says. He takes a parrot from the box and lets him fly free. He then throws himself over the edge of the cliff with the gun. Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and shoots the parrot. Seamus continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body. Paddy shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either!" IT IS NOT OVER YET... Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Sean appears. He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a cardboard box out of which he pulls a chicken. Sean then takes the chicken by its legs and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine. Once more Paddy shakes his head. "Fook dat, lads. First dere was Gerry with his budgiejumping, den Seamus parrotshooting..and now Sean and his fook'n hengliding
