Lemonade Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I went to the Wimpy at the beach today so I could see Ramboland one last time and the place was empty so I looked at the menu and to my anger they did not have the Bender In a Bun that was an outrage why do people in Peterhead, Fraserburgh and Portobello get a special menu but the people in Aberdeen have to suffer, so after that I got served by the most miserable (nice looking) woman there and I ordered a Cheeseburger meal (£5.20) and it took ages to arrive despite the place being nearly empty and when it did arrive it was tiny. My thoughts on Wimpy have gone below and all I think of them now are that they are a more expensive and rubbish version of McDonalds.After that I went to Cineworld at the beach for the first time since February 2012 (when was the last time you went ?) and I noticed some changes the Food bit is not counter service rather than self service and there was now an Arcade so the place has Cineworld bits but mostly UGC branding even though it has been 7 years since the takeover, the place needs a revamp. I went to see Life of Pi 3D and on the glasses it told me to recycle them in the bins provided I spent 80p on them and I am keeping them.So that was my day.You should write this in a letter to the Evening Express."Dear Sir,I went to the Wimpy at the beach today so I could see Ramboland one last time (which incidentally was empty). Upon looking at the menu I realised to my anger that they did not have the Bender In a Bun meal. This is an outrage. Why do people in Peterhead, Fraserburgh and Portobello get a special menu, but the people in Aberdeen have to suffer?Yours disappointedly,Cool TMastrick.

Guest Cool Thinker Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Aberdeen Airport has been renamed Aberdeen International Airport. There is also plans to open a Novotel & Ibis hotel.JD Weatherspoon has abandoned plans to open 2 new pubs in the north east including 1 in Fraserburgh due to a issue with the Scottish government tax.

Murrr Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Have you seen how busy that bloody place is?! Ridiculous, man. My office is directly opposite and above their entrance and some of the queues have been mental. I often look up from my computer and see a queue stretching as far as Greggs just before they open at lunchtime. I keep thinking that the buzz will eventually die down, but it's absolutely rammed every day. We tried to go in for lunch once at about 12:30 and were told it'd be an hour-long wait, and the place is massive. You'd think Aberdonians had never experienced an all-you-can-eat buffet before.
