Chris Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I've come home from holiday and hate it even more. The night life is dreadful, the weather is crap and it's just grey everywhere. I really, really need to move to the US or OZ soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Exodus were playing New Found bloody Glory. No self appreciating club would even consider playing such music. the dancefloor was full of 17 year olds bobbing around like arse holes and I couldn't even get near the bar.Welcome to getting old. I realised that I didn't like going to Exodus anymore when they weren't playing the Strokes (imagine my horror when I heard My Chemical Romance being played) all the time and I got hacked off with the lack of queueing etiquette. It can't be 2002 forever though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepeep Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Did Dave have you banned? No Jan, it was just such a fantastic night that he doesn't need to go and recharge his "good time" reserve for another year to come. I get the feeling that it's always brimming over.

Scootray Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Or he saw everyone else having a good time and got pissed off because no-one could hear him moan about it because of the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest treader. Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I went into exodus once, and once was enough.what was the matter? did you suddenly realise you weren't behind your computer screen and panic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehunger Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Nightclubs are for dancing, not for sitting.I think thats the problem. Pushing to get to the bar, being crowded in with the possibility of having to touch strangers, not getting to sit down, loudness/overbearing music and dancing are all hideous things to me. I also found there was a slight creepy atmosphere in Exodus.Perhaps avoiding the nightclubs would be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way I'm going near the sweat-box shit-tip rabbit hutch ever again, the tricky thing is convincing others to avoid the dive. Shit music for shit people.Not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 most would agree that it is full of good looking approachable girls as well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Fuck AFC's new stadium, its Pittodrie or nothing. If they hadn't arsed up the development of the Dick Donald, they would have had plenty space, as the Red Final said at the time; " Its ower close t'eh pitch" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess_Y Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Lying dormant...In terms of music, I know people who are extremely prominent and talented members of the Edinburgh music "scene" and they feel that Aberdeen's musical output is stunning. They've only been exposed to so much (Kitchen Cynics, No Pasaran, Jess Yong, Kartta, Copy Haho, Lazy Sheepdog, Debutant, Fiction/Action, Hookers Green #1, Holy Folks, and old-school Dedalus) but they think the "scene" up here is fantastic.Aw shucks Mr Idol Phil Wild...even though you posted this donkeys ago, I've only just found it and reading it was like a great big hug :O I knew there was something I missed about Aberdeen...P.S. can you come down to shout at Jim for being useless?

Elizabeth Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I used to hate this place. Miserable, gloomy, boring, slow, stagnant, sterile slab of grey under a greyer sky by a grey sea.It is a bit shite, but I too love how we know it's shite. No defensiveness from the 'deen! We're rubbish:up:Pretty much this.Though, I've never lived anywhere else. Just being places where every thing's not grey makes me feel like a tourist. I like Aberdeen. EDIT: I didn't realize this was an old topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Anderson Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 It just seems to be the character of this city, or maybe just human nature, to have a good moan.The weather is shite, the food is shite, the traffic is shite, the music scene is shite, my jobs is shite, football team is shite, the nightlife is shite. How many times have you heard any of those expressions lately? How many of them are actually true?Im rarely on here nowadays but just thought Id add my 2p.Ta.that post was shitep.s - i loved it really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
