According to the comments on this blog he might be dead or possibly institutionalised.

The last one  says he was in Peterhead prison and had his throat cut. 

Ooh some pretty nasty comments on there. Don't know how much of that is true and how much is just good old fashioned homo/transphobia but would say it's probably somewhere in the middle. I heard a lot of stories about him being a loose cannon and flipping out and battering people who stared at him or taunted him, but whenever I saw him he was just walking around swinging his handbag and tottering on high heels.

Do you mean Bardot's behind the gate just up from Franklyns? If so it was a kareoke bar last time i was there, links to Cotton Club up on Union Street (if that's still there as well).

Thought you were really big and looked like you could take people Mr. Thinker?

The pubs are still rubbish and chavvy, not so much of a hellhole cos there's a lot less of them...

Justice Mill Lane was a hellhole in the early-mid 00s, all the really chavvy places all in a row. Bex Bar, Fever, Charlies etc. Is it still as bad? 

Trying to remember the names of some of the others.

The area has seen major redevelopment in recent years with a Travelodge and Park Inn by Radisson being built where Satrosphere used to be. Across from that both the old Capitol theatre and Bells bar buildings have been demolished and are currently being rebuilt into offices.

Pub wise O'Donoghue's are still there but have moved along the road towards Holburn Street. Their old building has since been demolished with the Capitol building going into where it used to be.

Franklyns is currently vacant. The company behind Club Tropicana and Private Eyes previously ran it as Vogue 90s nightclub but this moved into where Riley's Chapel Street was and is now part of an expanded Club Tropicanna.

Bardot's is there and open as is The Justice Mill. So overall there are less chavs since that end is now geared towards an older clientele and is therefore quite quiet.

The Rig has turned into Nox nightclub which is a high class club for young people who are up there own arse. I have not been in. Further along Langstane Place there is the area where Prohibition, Paramount, Soul Casino and Jam Jar (previously Tonic) are located. This area is really popular with young people but if you want the most chaviest area then that is Belmont Street there are good places here and bad. It seems there  was a shift at some point with people moving from Justice Mill Lane to Belmont Street.

So overall Justice Mill Lane is dead at the weekend with people mostly now being around Langstane Place and Belmont Street.
