Nev Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Must disagree. And I've lived in hot climates before, but a heatwave in Aberdeen is so humid it's stifling so I find this respite welcome.I'd been wearing a jumper and a t-shirt the past couple of days, so to be down to just the t-shirt was a bonus. It was chillier than I'd been hoping for thoughI love discovering music I've never heard before regardless of how well known the band is to other people. Christ, in the last couple of months I've been initiated to Deus and Ride, two well established bands I'd just never listened to before. As you say, it's all about sharing. You give me some of your music, i'll give you some of mine, there are no winners.RIDE MIN! Good lad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Aberdeen Box Office's phone system. Fucking shit.Spent over an hour trying to get through for Billy Connelly tickets this morning then I gave up and walked to the box office to find they'd already sold out. Fuckers.They should've put some online or install a better call handling system so you can queue instead of having to hit redial all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'd like to own a gun right now. Twitching my curtains to freak them just makes me feel like a bitch...But I decided with Hunter S. that I would only kill what I can eat, and I really don't fancy munching seagull at all.

FezMonkey Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 But I decided with Hunter S. that I would only kill what I can eat, and I really don't fancy munching seagull at all.Then just shoot to maim. If you can knock them off the roof hopefully some lucky cat will finish them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 You know, it occurs to me that if things get much worse in the next couple of years, the seagull problem may mysteriously disappear. And the cats, for that matter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubbs Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Does a softie filled with bicarbonate of soda thrown up into their nesting area not work just as well as an air rifle? The seagulls explode when they eat it.Well it's what my parents did as kids anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Save your breath, they are a protected species so they can't be touched.I actually can't find any information regarding the Herring Gull (the dog-sized pests that we have in Aberdeen) being a protected species. There are several protected Gull variants but the Herring Gull isn't one of them.I'm getting absolutely fed up of the fucking things as well. I'm all for species diversity and a live and let live attitude towards most things if they keep themselves to themselves but these bloody things infringe on my personal space and attack me at every given opportunity. I'm not entirely sure why Aberdeen City Council won't do anything constructive about it. I think the people opposed to being attacked by them, kept awake by them and generally inconvenienced by them would greatly outweigh the clowns who bump their gum's about conservation. I fully understand that human's have to take partial responsibility for providing them with a much more attractive environment and food source but that doesn't mean our lives should be permanently inconvenienced by them. What's it going to take before somebody does something about the problem? Hopefully a kid will lose an eye or a pensioner will fall and break a hip because of an attack or something and the process will be sped up a little. We wouldn't have so much of a problem convincing people to get something done about it if there was a rat infestation in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
