jcn Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Apologies if there is a thread already kicking around.I thought it would be nice to start a list of cool things about Aberdeen city/shire that makes the area interesting or unique. I'll start:Aberdeen Harbour is the oldest business in the UKAberdeen is home to the world's strongest beerAberdeenshire regularly features as one of the best places to live in the UKAberdeen Uni is voted the safest place to study in the UK, and gives one of the best social experiences for students.

Jaaakkkeee Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Aberdeen is home to the world's strongest beerFraserborough isn't Aberdeen though. When you go to places like Edinburgh and Glasgow, Aberdeen pales in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Glasgow is a fucking hole, i hate that place, Aberdeen is much nicer. Edinburgh isnt anything special either, just big and full of pricks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum_Fantastic Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I don't think its home to the strongest beer anymore. Aberdeen is good for jobs, for the people and the countryside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Honestly, i came back after a weekend away and it's depressing. The amount of cheap golf courses is good though. I like that about Aberdeen.And the bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Had to walk back to a mates house in the West End of Glasgow from Ivory Blacks at 3am a couple Saturdays ago. Aberdeen is a veritable utopia compared to Glasgow in that instance.In fact, we were in Glasgow for a whole 2 minutes before some cunt leaned out the side of a limo to say "Your hair is pure manky by the way big man, BOB MARLEY NO SURRENDER!". Place is a fucking shit hole populated by a fuck load of utter cretins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 It's dead small and compact. You can walk almost anywhere and chances are you'll bump into someone you know on your travels. That's probably what I like most about Aberdeen, and the fact that it's by the sea. Fresh sea air on a cool summer's evening, ye cannae beat it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably what I like most about Aberdeen, and the fact that it's by the sea. Fresh sea air on a cool summer's evening, ye cannae beat it.I agree with that. A good, compact city is great. and I do like living by the sea, and just being able to bob round the corner for a game of aracde Mario Kart and a bag of candy floss. Leeds is similar. There's fuckloads going on, but it's all been smooshed together, so you can walk from the shopping end of the city to the university end in about half an hour, where as ballache places like Manchester or Birmingham, it would take you hours. I remember staying with a mate in Manchester after a gig. He said he lived right by the Uni halls, which I figured would be central. I had to get two buses from his house to Picadilly station. That's not a city. Big places totally stink. Small cities pwn, for the win. Aberdeen is good for commuting and walking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
