Lemonade Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 The Good Beach Guide have released their 2009 results today and Aberdeen beach has scored a big fat fail, failing to reach the minimum EU standard for water quality.Thomas Bell, MCS Coastal Pollution Officer, said: Todays results reflect last summers heavy rain which swept waterborne pollutants like raw sewage, petro-chemicals and farm waste into rivers and the sea. Keep that in mind next time you want to go swimming or surfing in Aberdeen - you're swimming in sewage and chemicals. The full results here, but here's the Aberdeenshire bit.MCS: Goodbeachguide information pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 The water up here looks a bit clearer than down in Scarborough and Bridlington. Heck, even look at Blackpool on Google Earth. The sea is fucking green, and it gradually fades back to blue as you scroll further away up or down the coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Green suggests that the water is capable of sustaining organic life.I'm happy to see Lunan Bay getting a nice basic pass despite the amount of farmland surrounding it. Roll on summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer_Rosa Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Green suggests that the water is capable of sustaining organic life.But it's algae which are feeding on bacteria which are feeding on the polution. So it is indicating the water is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolling Crock Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yeh i wouldn't go swimming in that. Much safer walking hand in hand, bare-footed through shards of glass, and freshly laid dog shit on the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexytunk Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Yeh i wouldn't go swimming in that. Much safer walking hand in hand, bare-footed through shards of glass, and freshly laid dog shit on the sand.Sack that, get it out and lubbed, bend her over, and get it up her ass! Fuck that romantic shite, dog turd or no! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Cadet Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I cant believe I have to explain this to you peeps.. The sea often looks green when the seabed is sandy because yellow sand + the blue light from the sun/sky make it look green.. Not because of any chemicals or anything.. ?( The harbour looks darker because it is deeper to let ships in and out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because of any chemicals or anything.. ?( The harbour looks darker because it is deeper to let ships in and out... To me, that seemed pretty obvious. But it must be 'cos the harbour is infested with syphilis!!!21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I was swimming at Fraserburgh beach today, which got a hearty recommended on the list above. Minimal dog turds, no chemicals. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 The local river purification board does allow certain levels of wastage to enter the sea i.e from Slaughterhouses, Distilleries etc.It may not be suitable for swimming but it may actually be within a legal limit.

Monster Zero Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 No matter how much pollution there may be in Aberdeen's waters, there ALWAYS seems to be some bird in a bikini having a paddle when the sun comes out who gets her pic in the Drabloids.'And here is the Page 3 Idol contestant from sunny Aberdeen, just ignore the tide marks of poo around her shins and the used condom stuck to her left arse cheek.'

Monster Zero Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm chums with the girl who ended up in 'the scum'. I have no idea how it ended up happening though.Being reasonably attractive in a bikini on Aberdeen beach was the sole requirement I imagine...having seen some of the horrific displays of flesh at lunchtime on Union Street I can guess the competition wasn't fierce...that's no slur intended on your mate by the way 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
