Aye but is there anywhere in town for a decent swim?

The free flume can be fun if you did what I did once, lie back, decide that you were going too fast and sit up again, but make sure to do this at a corner. You then spin round and roll about for a bit before coming out at the bottom backwards and upside down.

I got a warning for that.

I think if I went back to the leisure centre I'd probably still buy 10 flume tickets. Though, they are probably sub-dermal microchips now instead of the blue wrist band + guy with scissors system of old.

The nights of free flumes were great. Add on a bunch of kids playing tig and tag. Great fun and loads of "final warnings". I miss those days.

Bon Accord Baths was the most 'in town' pool, but obviously it's 'swimming with the fishes' now.

You'd be looking at gym pools or, more likely, smaller leisure centres such as Hazlehead, Kincorth...wherever else there is one.

Yeah I'm thinking of just trekking over to Hazlehead. Ah well, a 40-60 minute round trip will just add to my exercise!.

I'm trying to put together (from memory!) a list of every band I've seen at every gig I've ever been at - with the exact dates! I'm sure I've forgotten tons but I've got to 154 bands I've seen so far.

Anyway, there are two that I can't find any details of online and I can't remember off the top of my head - anyone got any idea at all when these gigs might have happened:

Mull Historical Society at the Lemon Tree, some time around 2001....ish.

Stereophonics at AECC, some time around 2001. (Not the 1999 one. I've counted that one already)

Incidentally, here's what I've got so far.

4.20 a session or 2.15 if you have an access to leisure card or if you're a student

Cheers man. Not had the best experiences up there plus I'm a Hazlehead Lad ken? But aye, it is a lot closer. Cheers for the prices though :)
