Teabags Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I tried to like Vine but it got pretty annoying very quickly. The repetition somehow makes people's zany 'sketches' get more and more cringe-worthy the longer you watch them. Yeah...but...Will Sasso.

Guest Bob Knob Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 What's the story with The Moorings? I was told today that they might be losing their late night license due to an "incident"? Info? #coolthinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) It's something to do with someone getting attacked because they was drunk and the Moorings was the last pub they were in. (Flash posted something about it on Facebook somewhere, but can't remember where). Edited October 8, 2013 by MattJimF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the basis for someone losing their licence is that people get into fights after being there then why the fuck is the priory still open?

Flash@TMB Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 The message I posted on facebook was intended for the staff group, not the public page, which is why I took it down ten minutes later after being made aware of the mis-post. Of the thousands of posts I've made on both pages this is the first time there's been a mix up, and easily the worst possible post to do that with The facts as I understand them are that something bad happened to someone. The incident occurred about a mile away from the bar. One party, the victim, had been in the bar earlier. The other party had not been in the bar, and had no connection with the bar whatsoever. Unable to elaborate any further on the incident itself, as it's an on-going police investigation. The police called me in for an intervention meeting. Previously a premises manager was only called in for an intervention meeting if the premises was in deep shit, hence my mis-posted message to the staff. However I have since learned that, subsequent to the merger of Scotland's police forces, this is now standard operating procedure for any incident. In this case they simply summoned me because The Moorings was the last premises the victim had been in that evening. In the event, CCTV shows that the bartenders did not do anything wrong, and we are not being penalised in any way. We have since made a few minor tweaks to the way we operate, which while they wouldn't have made any difference to the incident in question, will help safeguard our butt going forward.Ironically this was the first incident to occur since the police changed their policy. I've never been summoned to anything like this before, but it strikes me that some premises managers might want to consider moving their offices to Queen Street. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonz Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Anyone used any car valet places in Aberdeen? Any recommendations and/or prices for a full interior and exterior valet for a small hatchback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I can vouch for the quality of service here: http://www.thewashbay.co.uk/ However, I don't know how that stacks up price wise alongside other similar places in Aberdeen. I'd be interested to hear (read) the answer to the question too, though, particularly any mobile companies that come and valet cars in a work car park.

Don't seem to have any listed on their site. I've heard very good things about Polished Bliss in Kintore but they're hoorin expensive. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/detailing-services-service-options.html Doesn't seem worth it for a Ford Focus...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I did use The Washbay but it was a voucher I had for a full valet, so I really couldn't tell you what the cost was, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Is there anyway I can find out who's selling my phone number to marketing companies? For last few years we've been bombarded with calls for a Mr Bromley. No-one by that name has ever had our phone number, it was a new number when we bought the house. I've tried asking for the number to be removed from lists, I've tried getting angry, speaking and shouting at managers/supervisors and tried reporting the companies that call to the TPS and data commissioner. But still we get the calls (usually finance companies or solar power companies). I figure there must be an incorrect record somewhere that a 3rd party is selling to marketing companies but none of the ones that call admit to purchasing a list of numbers from anyone (some of them even struggle to give me their company address for fuck's sake). The data protection act says you have a right to find out what information companies hold about you and that it's accurate, so there must be a way to find this fucking list that our number appears on and get it removed. Anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Tough one man, have you ever put your number onto any forms or anything? If you have your pretty much screwed when it comes to this kinda thing. I get at least one call a week telling me i should be claim PPI or claiming for an accident they claim they have a record of me having. Its really annoying.

Of course, but I always check the box saying not to call. Besides that it's not me they ask for when they phone. I assume someone has put the wrong number on a form somewhere and I'm now getting all the marketing calls he should be getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
