The street view of my street is really dull too. I imagine it lowers the value of the property. I might sue google.

LOL :)

you should

when will they update the city center and take pictures at lunchtime rather than 6am

Its so old Union Square isnt even open in it

...There's a Lloyd's or something quite near there, isn't there? Or am I being daft?

seaton is quite far away from the building

I think you mean the cash machine at asda

I was not being serious

Im with lloyds TSB

how about a giant bank of scotland

It would be know as THE Bank of scotland

20,000 counters

In the amedeus nightclub in kent you can jump to the front

I want in to have a look around

Giant Burger King

Or

Giant One Up

I do not care what it turns into just turn it into something im tired of looking at a faded sign

Turn it into some random restraunt/nightclub with laser quest and giant ramboland and call the place mustard

or replace the sign to something more interesting

there is another amedeus nightclub somewhere in england which is the same size and i think same company

Are there any actual plans for the building?

There was a plan for a chinese restraunt so they stripped everything amedeus out and changed there minds.

The owner wants it to be a casino but the council say no theres only allowed to be 1 mega casino in scotland and its in glasgow so they could not open another one.

so no plans just 2 empty buildings

Fill it with chocolate pudding

all you can eat

I fuckign loved codonas as a kid. The dodgems, the waltzers, the blue slide, twister. Awesome.

It should be put out it's misery now though, it's Simpsons-esque in how it's hanging around after it's past it's best.

I have no response to the actual topic of this thread.

im sure that new thing will be scary

the highest rope assault course in britain (dont look down)

For amedeus i would turn it into a O2 Academy venue

For the bingo maybe that could be massive laser tag for all ages

maybe they should move to a cheaper unit maybe in rosemount or something and advertise the move alot to save the buisness

What I would do is I would turn it into many bars and nightclubs. All owned by the same company but the punters would not know. All with a different theme's to make them unique. People would go down there because it looks like there seem like theres loads down there. People usually stay at one but then switch to another so they would go nextdoor not knowing there the same and would make the company more money. Put the price down and also throw in some transport from the city center.

Another idea would be a massive entertainment complex with bowling, laser tag, barrs, nightclub, ice skating, casino stuff like that

what would you do ?

(hopefully not turn it into a chinese buffet)

(sorry tired when written)

It's on Belmont Street next to the Beautiful Mountain sandwich shop (just down from One-Up).

Thank you

I read another thread on this forum about them moving to the arches with a coffee shop what happened to this idea why did it not happen.

Cavern Records?

Where is that.

I was wondering if anyone has seen a guy who goes about wearing a kilt and medevil stuff I call him the scottish guy because he seems to be very scottish but is apparently english I have seen him a few times at the gallowgate I was wondering if anyone else has seen this mysterious person ?

Are there any DIY shops in aberdeen apart from B&Q

Would you rather there was no jobs then? Just robots?

it would quite cool to be served by a robot

Yes. I know. Like I said, it is closing because they are trying to be more like Union Square, which is making a killing with those restaurants so it's obviously a good strategy.

read your post wrong I thought it said Is it closing rather than It is closing

my mistake

Probably just as well, the current outlets are pretty expensive and not particularly good, whatever you think of those brands they will give the consistency and pricing associated with large chains.

And I guess they'll provide around 100 new jobs.

bit of a long wait though

It is closing down, but they are aiming to go down the same route as Union Square and open a few "proper" restaurants on the top floor which will be open late, so it'll probably be more chains like Chiquito or Frankie & Bennies.

Its closing because competition from Union Square

the pattiserie unit has closed already

and is being made into 4 Units

due for completion winter 2011

Just to let everyone know the food court in the bon accord center is closing in March 2011 with 100 people out of jobs

Rumours are that the replacements will be

* Harry Ramsdens

* Mcdonalds

* Pret a manager

* Cafe Rouge

Which will open in Winter 2011

do you think these are good replacements

I'm not sure that's relevant?

There are remarkable differences between Fopp and HMV. By that, I mean that Fopp is fucking great in comparison to HMV.

what i mean is if HMV go FOPP go
