What do you mean? You're a Gers fan who has sat in the away section at Ibrox?

This I can understand, if this truly is a problem. However, it's a bit harsh as I never book tickets, simple as that. I don't go to every game and when I do I just 'go along'. This, I don't. Free market; screw loyalty; first come first serve! Unless I only need to have booked, say, one time before? I'm sure I can find someone who's booked a game before.

What a load of pish. I can't buy tickets for the Dons game at Celtic unless I've booked tickets before. What is the reason for this?

I'm pretty sure it'll cost at least a pound to post and thirty minutes to wrap, walk down the post office etc. How could you even be bothered?

Well, that's the spontaneity of life. Besides, what good does having a few neon yellow jackets sprinkled around really do to stop people starting stuff if they really want to. But if it clutters up Union Street, then despite this, it's a shit idea.

Seems a bit silly that they're situated in bus lanes, in effect turning Union street into a two lane road. I've taken taxis about three times in my life and am unaware of the apparent trouble on Back Wynd etc, but frankly, if people want to fight - let them.

My pal works at the airport and told me about this about an hour after it happened as I chanced upon him whilst picking someone up. I could've bagged that scoop! Apparently he took them off a table for confiscated items then wandered back into the no-liquid zone. I couldn't see any realistic problem, but airport security is rather tight these days.

I didn't realise, but it is basically happening, with the only question being that of the exact route. I had thought the whole thing was still up for debate:

I remember seeing this show and thinking it really was quite representative of channel four's continual, cringeworthy submission to the fleeting whims of youth. Whiley and James were both embarrassing to watch, remarkable considering their supposed stature, and I remember offered increasingly banal and pointless critiques of the music on show, overly keen to justify their fees. Considering the remarkably low standard of bands on it last year, and given what I've heard of The Little Kicks, I'd imagine they would wipe the floor, however Steven suggests there is maybe something more to it than decent music: .So this is all basically an example of the music industry at its shitty and lowest, where 'votes' count against quality, whilst being a poor, 'alternative' imitation of X-Factor aswell.

Yeah but he's a good-for-nothing tv hoodlum...

So what happens when all that traffic is chucked onto another road? Plus the fact that more roads simply = more traffic. We're in the day and age that needs to reduce traffic, not give people better reasons to take the car. Besides, your inconvenient commute to Altens doesn't really bother me, that is a fact of life in a centre of commerce; can hardly be said to stem trade and will no doubt be an obsolete argument when the oil dries up. What about sucking floating travellers from the city centre? Literally encouraging people to 'pass us by'.

I get the feeling the bypass is something we should all be opposing. I'm not even aware of severe traffic congestion and debilitating gridlock in Aberdeen, so why build a new road that tears through more greenery and will only encourage more people to use their cars more often?

This thread is very useful - for seeing what absurdly-titled fashionable shit Ed Howson is indulging in each week. Here's mine. I recommend this cd. It's pretty much the only album I've bought this year. Thought-provoking, slick, considered house music that took a while to grow on me but has, in the past week, become one of my favourites for a long time. It's packed full of subtleties that keep it interesting time and time again: Paul Woolford - The Truth MySpace.com - Paul Woolford - UK - Industrial / Surf / Thrash - www.myspace.com/paulwoolford Black Orchid is fairly representative of the guy's style. As I said, I really rate this and sincerely recommend it, I imagine a lot of you would like it, and feugh would experience disappointment..

No, because most people don't want ads cluttering up their eye-space, particularly if they're paying for the view.

I hate to say it, but I did feel repulsed when i was forced to use a bus passing that way on Sunday a few months back. Everything was fine then suddenly the vehicle came under attack from puffy plastic jackets, bulbous foreheads, the Daily Star and a loud conversation about football so moronic it made your average pub chin-wag look like an evening in with Alan Hansen and Chomsky.

Cracking. With all due respect I've literally got no idea what Lepeep's going on about most of the time.

Oh, the value of brand visibility...

Emm, there are two different meanings for lose and loose aswell... o_O It's much easier and more forgivable to write words that sound the same incorrectly.

To be honest I think it falls short of your other stuff and, for me, totally lacks punch or interest. It meanders around a bit, but is really much of the same for a bit too long. Not so keen on the synth sounds or drums either; there doesn't seem much cohesion between them - too many similar noises making it all come over as a bit of an awkward, squelchy jumble. Things improve when the kick comes in at around 4.40...but overall, I think more space between the sounds is needed, more variation structurally and more definiton in the groove. I know what it's like to want to throw all your ideas down at once, but stripping things away every now and then and working within stricter limits is a decent way to remind yourself that great tunes can come out of very little.

Not so much for me. They both sound the same, therefore very easy to mess up and not worth getting too pedantic over. One of the most common spelling mistakes on this board, again, fairly forgiveable: 'weird', not 'wierd'.

As though there is grown up rationality behind other forms of football support? This is an unusual case. I also like the fact Aberdeen did well with little cash and a homegrown bunch. This does little to argue either eay though, because few teams have this level of geographical specificity (particularly the high-achievers), so by admitting your respect for the homegrown bunch you must concede the same logic applies (even more so) to the Scotland team, who, money and chance rendered irrelevant, will always be local.

I couldn't really give a toss because the two teams occupy entirely different spheres and never come into direct conflict with one another. I will say though - club football is geographically unspecific. Club players can be bought in from anywhere; national teams are limited by borders and heritage, and are supposed to drive on passion, grit and pride. Therefore I find the achievements of a national side more admirable and enjoyable, particularly with an underdog side like Scotland, whereby success is determined solely by hard work and intelligence and not player-pulling capacity.

TRR looks pretty cool; reckon I'll attend that 'un.

I thought race was about physical characteristics. Serbs and Croats are both Slavic I believe. I can't see many black Americans considering themselves as racially equivalent to white national counterparts...

I think you pick up cars for pretty much anything at places like Thainstone.
