Scootray Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Anyone know what's happening down on Union Street just now? The police have it taped up from Union Terrace down towards Belmont Street?Saw a police car pull up at around 8:45, and travelling back it was taped up at 10.

Scootray Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 That's what I was thinking, but there didn't seem to be any police presence at the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest treader. Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 People are always throwing (or trying to throw) themselves off that bridge. Dont like 90% of them survive?I've never thought it looked a big enough fall to kill someone, unless you landed head first obviously.

Shaki Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 It was some hold up. 20.45 - 23.40. Sensitive situation closes Union Street - Press & JournalI resent being described by the P&J as a reveller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I remember being in Pizza Hut across the road one day when a girl threw herself off.She came out of the phone boxes beside that big statue, and she was in floods of tears, and just threw herself off. Pretty mental like....she survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Has the Aberdeen one started offering loads of Pasta now?Last time I went for the buffet, I had a thought provoking choice of Cheese pasta, or Tomato pasta.If they stop doing the bacon bits, I'm going to kill myself.

Guest idol_wild Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Were there more happenings in that area last night? I drove by as a policeman was busily taping up Exodus/TK's.Apparently there was a stabbing.I heard that a gentlemen (I use this term loosely) stumbled into the bar holding his upper arm/shoulder which was caked in blood and uttered, "I have just been stabbed, can you call me an ambulance. And I'll have a pint of Guiness". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC NEWS | Health | Guinness good for you - officialThey seemed to be roping off the stairs down the side of Triple Kirks when I went past. 2 times in the centre of town in the past 3 days and I've seen 2 police cordons. It's like a Stuart MacBride novel I tell ye ("MacBridian"?!)...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
