Gypsum_Fantastic Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 If people like you got the fuck out maybe I'd be happier. I'll stay where I was born till I die, there's not any fucking alternative is there.Anyone happy in Aberdeen is either a liar, or middle class....no time for either.Still wondering about this middle class angle you got going on here, care to explain?

Paranoid Android Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I guess he's suggesting that people with more money are able to overcome the frightful horrors of the city.

Gypsum_Fantastic Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I confess...I wish the vast majority of Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, whatevers would just fuck off. Aberdeen was shit enough before. A good friend of mine and colleague is Polish...and he feels stronger about it than I do! But he's not a racist, wife beating, drug dealing type with 6 kids to support. We have enough of them in Aberdeen already and I wish they would fuck off too. I didn't realise drug dealer / pimp / prostitute/lap dancer / toilet cleaner / road sweeper / bus driver was a job that we were in such high demand for and have no one capable of doing here that we need to double Aberdeen's population for. I work in a global company and come in contact with all cultures/ethnicity etc everyday. and would welcome the majority of people I work with with open arms...but seriously...what the fuck is going on...Poland can't be that bad that Printfield or Logie or Tillydrone seem like exotic dream getaways?!this guy.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I thought "Keilan 303" was Keilan (and has been posting under that username recently). Unless emergency72 is Keilan's troll alter-ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Fuck off you absolute bell end, honestly. There are plenty of alternatives, moving out of the city is no harder than moving flat, the fact is your most likely to fucking lazy to go to the bother of finding out how you could do it, youd rather sit on your arse and moan about it. I hate people like that, your a waste of air as far as im concerned, ill happily keep my lie filled, middle class way of living if dickheads like you move away and dont come back.Whilst I think Aberdeen is aiiiight and I don't agree with Emergency's ranting about it, what you say here is a bit off the mark. Moving from one flat to another in the same place means you're more than likely to stay in your current job. Moving elsewhere with no job -or- trekking back and forth to that place for interviews until you've secured a job and THEN moving there, is a little bit of a step up from just packing up your super noodles and xbox controllers and moving from Rosemount to Rosehill.I dig Aberdeen, but if I had the motivation (and also the money) to look for jobs and travel to attend interviews back in Leeds, then I would. Travelling is expensive, so I'm here for now. It's good though. I like living 5 minutes from the beach. Aberdeen pies are the business too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd hate to live in a place where people don't keep themselves to themselves.The people of Aberdeen may be stereotypically dour bastards, but if they're not stopping me in the street and telling me about it, that's fine by me. Aberdeen, a big town where everyone hates each other until they have a reason not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 depends on what you look for in a city, surely? there are positives and negatives to every city. i can understand why some people like aberdeen as a city to live; it's got many things going for it! but just because i don't really like aberdeen as a place to live overall... that doesn't mean i can't criticise it! the attitude of "if you don't like it here, fuck off" isn't really the best one, imo. but what do i know, i live in edinburgh.

English pies are all the puff pastry kind, and we ruin a good Steak pie by stuffing it chock full of some crumbly grim by-product like kidney. Barf.

neepheid Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I've lived in Aberdeen all my adult life. I like it. I'm feeling a bit old now that I can play the "pub Z used to be called pub Y" game (and sometimes can remember when it was called pub X ) but I'd rather that than be huddled round a lightbox in the early evening cursing the lack of ambient light so I guess I should be thankful.

fertuiee Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 5 years now in Aberdeen, cant fault the place. Met some great folks here, only one gripe is that it doesnt quite as many good "out of town" bands as it deserves, but thats not the towns fault and if thats all there is to gripe about....then theres nothing to gripe about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
