sexytunk Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I know this ain't very Rock N Roll, but I had my little ones out to Story Book Glen yesterday, and the place has been wrecked by vandals, really pissed me off. What is the point in wrecking something that is so popular for families in Aberdeen.Snow White had had her arms ripped off, now that is pretty much my dream (imagine what you could do to a lass with no arms?), but in this instance it made me bloody angry! It's no wonder places like The Glen and Doonies etc are closing when they aren't treated with the respect they deserve! Sorry for boring everyone, but this has really fucked me off!

Kieran_imray Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 A few of my mates went for nostalgia a few weeks ago and took some comical pictures (mostly involving sex jokes). Never mentioned any vandalism though. I remember last time I went as a kid 10-12 years ago half of the stuff there was wrecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a lot of the equipment is passed it's best, but they have made a real effort recently to repaint a lot of the attractions, and have added quite a few new ones. The last thing it needs is twats going in causing mindless destruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran_imray Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 The last thing it needs is twats going in causing mindless destruction.Oh, I very much agree. It's sad to see somewhere like that being treated like shit by chav arseholes (it is gonna be chavs). Any realistic ideas as to how they could protect it? I imagine CCTV for the entire park was cost heaps. I'm also surprised I never heard about that story. As it was written by one of my best mates, I get full reports on boring irrelevant shit, but he neglects to tell me about his story on story book glen. Wanker.

My mate is one of about 2 P&J writers whose patch includes story book glen (i think).I have no idea how they could protect it anymore than it is! The worst thing for me is this place is miles from anywhere really, it's not like it appears on kids when they are out, they have to actually make a conserted effort to get there.

Kieran_imray Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm thinking the people doing this are paying to get in during the day, rather than busting in at night. In which case their only options would be more staff wondering around, CCTV or an army of Terminators which are tripped when damage is done to the models. None of these are financially viable for them I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it, it takes about half an hour to walk union street to the beach, kids do that everyday to cause trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have hoped for more from what is ment to be a nice area but i guess you cant escape neds no matter where you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexytunk Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Or make the models TerminatorsThat would be a nasty shock for the vandals.I think I'm gonna camp out there with Lame Guitarist, and when the boys approach I'm gonna let him rape them, that'll teach them! Sorry don't wanna make light of this though, it's a serious issue to me, My kids were genuinely disappointed, and that makes me pissed off!

It truly annoys me to that wankers go about doing this. It's not just that it ruins a treasured kids attraction, but it also show hows shit society is now. I can't imagine ever doing any of this sort of crap when I was younger (bear in mind I'm only 21, so we aren't talking yonks ago here), why do adolescents do it now? Can they nae just go for a kickabout, play xbox and order pizza like I did......and still do with my spare time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexytunk Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 How did your daughter like her Rabbit by the way, did you still get her one?Ha, Good memory! No I bailed on it, I just didn't feel the time was right for her, it would have been a big responsibility, maybe to big at her age. I'm still trying to get it into her head that playing drums is the way to go to get her mind off it, but unfortunately she think all my mates are true Rock stars, and I'm just a loser who sits behind tubs! But, I've not given up on her yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is harmless really, could be annoying, but it's nae in the same league as wrecking SBG. It's hardly as if anyone's livelihood is damaged by kids lobbing berries off their windows. Out of interest, what are Grand National Runs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, what are Grand National Runs?they are where you find a nice line of houses and try and run through all of their back gardens regardless of any flower beds, fences ect, used to be a great laugh actually but we would have ruined a few prize flower pathes. Bridge of don is good for this, lots of lines of houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stuck to budding, chickenellie, kerbie and water fights in Scotstown Moor, they were awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
