  1. Saw these on the Evening Express and STV web sites:

    Love how the Evening Express have "TALENTED" in the caption for the picture of the bagpipe player! :)

    Do you think Aberdeen buskers should face X Factor style auditions before they are allowed to perform?

  2. Just do a search for recruitment agencies in Aberdeen on Google, and then go round them all with your CV and register with them.

    Never contact recruitment agencies by e-mail as most of them just ignore you, instead phone them every week and ask them if they currently have any jobs.

  3. Last year, I kept getting phone calls from a company called XL Communications offering me a better mobile phone service. No matter how many times I told them that I did'nt want to hear from them again, they kept phoning me.

    It got to the point that when they phoned the final time, I actually shouted at the poor guy at the other end. I never heard from them again.

  4. When I first saw that picture, I actually thought she/he was a man.

    However, after all the fuss, it'll probably turn out that he/she is a woman after all.

    You have to feel sorry for him/her though... imagine years from now, what will she/he tell his/her grandchildren? "Well, kids, I was an athlete back in the day. I was the one they thought used to be a man"

  5. Common sense and Aberdeen City Council are two things you rarely hear in the same sentance.

    My family live in a council flat. In a few years, Aberdeen City Council plan on demolishing all the buildings in my area (including the one I live in).

    However, earlier in the year, the council decided to put new bathrooms and kitchens in all the flats! ?(

  6. Watched the Matrix Reloaded last night since it was on TV.

    First time I'd ever seen it (I watched the first Matrix film on Monday last week). The second film is good, but not as good as the first one, and it got slightly confusing towards the end.

    I'm hoping they show the third film next week.

  7. Does anyone know of any good shops that sell cheap food in Aberdeen?

    The only one I can think of is Stillies, which is near Mount Street, which is notorious for selling stuff past its sell by date.

    I also know about cheap supermarkets such as Lidls and Aldi, but does anyone know of any other shops in Aberdeen that sells cheap food?

  8. I've got Audacity on my laptop and I can't fucking do anything with it. I've just downloaded one called Audio Recorder For Free which claims to be able to do it, and I've got it set to Stero Mix but it's just recording silence, the cunt.

    Bear in mind I am not very technically minded...

    Are you running Windows Vista on your laptop?

    If you are, there are some tips on the following web page on changing the recording settings in Audacity...

    Windows Vista OS - Audacity Wiki

    It might be worth trying the steps that it suggests to see if any of them work for you?
