Scootray Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I don't think you realise how much of a ballache Aberdeen is in terms of traffic and parking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Even if the council found a way to turn Aberdeen into a perfect Utopia, Aberdonians would find something to complain about.The Olympics is awesome, it's amazing for the whole UK, and it really can't be that much of an inconvenience that you now need to park around the corner for a few days. Is no else even the least bit excited that the olympic torch will be flying by their front door? I am!It's not just around the corner though (it's inconvenient from a work perspective, adding further time on my already long days to find a space then walk back home when i'm already paying to have a parking space right outside my front door), and it's more the fact that the restriction is on from the 10th yet they have the cones out on the 8th. What seems logical about that to you?It would be a little bit more exciting if it was coming past my front door, but it isn't. My paid for parking is being commandeered to allow "events parking" whatever the fuck that means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am!Also, from the Aberdeen City Council website it doesn't even affect my stretch of the street yet the restrictions are in place (already):From 5am on 11 June 2012 to 6am on 12 June 2012 there will be a ban on parking on either side of the Beach Boulevard from the Justice Port roundabout to the railway bridge adjacent to Wales Street, except for event vehicles.http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/transport_streets/roads_pavements/road_closures_olympic_relay.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 It's nice that you're stoked about it and all, but I reckon you must be counting down the days til old-age death if you find this interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Knob Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Bus drivers who stop for a chat half way through a journey. No. Stop it. I'm going to be late for my job because you can't be fucked doing yours properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 This whole making people feel involved in the Olympics is actually becoming a right pain in the arse for a lot of people. No parking, no driving, making Aberdeen rush hour traffic even more horrendous. Aye, good een.I pity any foo' who might be attempting to catch a bus on Monday morning. Ho ho ho...

Lemonade Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 All the gay porn spam that keeps popping up on the website recently. Us poor mods are scarred for life, having to wade through a sea of photos of big cocks. The things we do for you people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Are you sexually intimidated like? I'm nae. In fact, you should create an 18+ part and just put it all there so I can have a ganders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 The cunthead family in the flat across from me who threw all my post in the bin because it had been sitting on top of the communal electric box, where all the incoming mail goes, for 7 days. Surely I shouldn't have to tell everyone in the block I'm going away for a week to make sure my stuff doesn't get binned, should I?I fished some of it out of the skip on the side of the road this evening, though I don't know if they threw any out earlier in the week. I'm raging. I feel like kicking their front door in, lifting up their TV and lobbing it in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
