Scootray Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm sure there's already an Aberdonian version of Monopoly. I'm sure I saw the box very briefly...but then again, this is the BBC and they can't be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the BBC in this case is correct Strangely enough I am a collector of Monopoly sets with 3 different Star Wars, a Star Trek and a few others..Though reading the comments is funny they're blaming Aberdeen for it when Aberdeen had nothing to do with it, it was the choice of Hasbro/Parker Bros, Dundonians proving they're not very good at reading stories on the news either...CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Wait a minute' date=' why do you hate Dundee Utd? you don't support aberdeen![/quote']He supports Inverness. His manager sold him out to move to the Arabs, and is now in the process of trying to dismember his team. As a Dunfermline fan, and bearing in mind what the FJTM* did to us, I know where he's coming from.*FJTM=Fat Judas Tango Man. "It tak's a lang spoon tae sup wi' a Fifer". Which means we're fucking good at holding grudges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marillionboy Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 A Monopoly spokesman said that any offence taken in Dundee was unfortunate. What a belter of a comment..I love this board. That and the shit-stained lego are the funniest things I've read in days.I'm actually quite surprised Dundee takes offence: everyone I've ever known from there slags the place off as soon as they are asked where they'd from. However much Dundonian spokesman are keen to leap to their town's defence rather than just claiming it's a good city they should actually try and make it one, rather than simply putting up a sign as you go in saying something as meaningless as "Dundee, City of Discovery." The only thing I discovered when I went there is that I didn't want to go back. When it was awarded Scotland's cleanest city I recall there was speculation that that was because you couldn't tell what was the rubbish and what wasn't...

Scorge Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 That's the only positive things I can think of... There's also going to Dens Park or Tannadice and belting out the following:Your sister is your mother,Your brother is your father,Your lover is your granny,The Dundee family!
