You are offending Ashton Kutcher by posting this I suggest you say sorry to me and Ashton Kutcher and everyone associated with Punk'd, MTV, Two and a Half Men (including Charlie Sheen), CBS and Warner Bros.

 

What about That 70's Show? arguably Kutcher's finest work, and arguably televisions finest work.

[Guest Cool Thinker]

you've been able to see who's viewing a topic for years

 

If you are refering to years before 2011 then you are correct.

 

But....

 

The last time the Website had a revamp it disapeared in one of the most upsetting moves I have ever seen but it's back now.

[Soda Jerk]

What am I apologising for again?

[Soda Jerk]

He was congratulating your sick burn on me and my username. Did you not think it was a sick burn?

[Guest Cool Thinker]

Lets just forget this ever happened and delete the posts.

It was alright but it seemed a little old fashioned don't you think.

 

EDIT - Why are we not allowed to post troll faces.

Although I generally disapprove of chain restuarants, Carluccio's is actually pretty good. They have a deli inside the restaurant as well and sell loads of ace Italian meats, cheeses, pasta etc. Good coffee as well. I'm down with Carluccio's.

[framheim]

that's mental, why close all the edinburgh shops? surely it's worth leaving st james or the princes street stores open.

Might be because the rent is high, Kirkcaldy's HMV closing will leave the whole of Fife without an HMV.

well that's even crazier to close the edinburgh ones then.  (not the high rent, the fact fife won't have any either).

There closest one's will be Dundee, I was in it today and it was so small the Kirkcaldy one was bigger. It was packed and will get even more packed when the Fife one closes. Once again Scotland has been overlooked.

[Guest Cool Thinker]

It has been said that if Aberdeen Wins UK City of Culture that Aberdeen will be considered to host the MTV Europe Music Awards. Doubt we will win unless Aberdeen City Council suddenly have a change of heart and do lots of investment in the city. We would also need a bigger arena to host it.

Aberdeen City Council have announced today plans for a £200,000 Hogmanny Party in Union Terrace Gardens.

 

They have also announced plans to bring back the Christmas ice rink spending £100,000 on the ice rink.

 

A council worker looked out their window today the conversation went like this.

 

Council Worker - Holly Shit their is a big bit of green space over there.

Colleague - That's Duthie Park you dumb fuck.

Council Worker - No, you cannot see Duthie Park from here you dumb fuck.

Colleague - No-one calls me a dumb fuck, SQUARE GO.

Council Worker - OK, then outside.

 

They go outside into Marshall College courtyard and fight and just before the council worker is beaten (Dead) Chuck Norris and his son Kevin Bacon jump in and kill the Colleague (£30,000 of the trust fund goes towards paying for his funeral) and (Chuck Norris took a share of £10,000 for his flight).

 

No, that did not happen I was taking the piss and got carried away.

 

What really happened.

 

Monday 11th January 2013

 

Council Worker - Holly Shit their is a big bit of green land over there.

 

Colleague looks out window.

 

Colleague - Your right, we should do something with it.

Council Worker - How about we turn it into a giant civic square.

Colleague - No, you dumb fuck. We should spend some money and uses it for a big New Year Party.

Council Worker - Will there be girls there?

Colleague - Yes, only problem is that it will cost £200,000

Council Worker - How about we sneak the money out and tell the boss later.

Colleague - Hell yeah, lets do it.

Council Worker - All we need to do is get down to the city vault in the dungeon and take the money back upstairs and through the doors.

Colleague - There is only one problem there is 400 camera's and 2 bouncers guarding the vault.

Council Worker - Hmm...Maybe we could cause a power cut that will leave the city centre without power for hours.

Colleague - When should we do that?

Council Worker - How about Tommorow (12th January 2013) morning.

Colleague - Let's Go Then.

Council Worker - Ok, lets go.

Colleague - This is so important we need to start work immediately.

Council Worker - But What About Lunch?

Colleague - OK, after lunch then.

Council Worker - But What About Going To The Arcade? 

Colleague - OK, after the Arcade then.

Council Worker- But What About....(Interuppted by Colleague)

Colleague - (Shouts) NOTHING ELSE CANCEL IT. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Council Worker - Fine Then Better Tell Carly The Wedding Is Off Then .

 

After going to Lunch and the arcade at 3pm they start work.

 

Colleague - OK, I have done some research and I have found the source of our power.

Council Worker - Where is it?

Colleague - The Management Office at the Lloyds TSB on Union Terrace.

Council Worker - How are we going to get to the Management office?

Colleague - Easy Peasy, I have a seagull in the business they call him Sam.

Council Worker - Where could we find him?

Colleague - RS Mccoll on the Castlegate.

Council Worker - We better get to him quickly before they close.

Colleague - What time is it?

Council Worker - 4pm 

Colleague - Where has the time gone?

Council Worker - I don't know, should I ask 118 118

Colleague - Not enough time but wherever it has gone I wan't to go with it.

Council Worker - Maybe it went to somewhere sunnier.

Colleague - (Rolls His Eyes) Let's go.

 

They run to RS Mccoll on the Castlegate and find Sam the Seagull.

 

Colleague - We need your help with a job

Sam The Seagull - (quietly) You Got The Goods?

Colleague - Yes, I have them (Flashes a packet of Dorito's at the seagull)

Sam The Seagull - What do you need help with?

Colleague - (quietly) getting in to a banks Management room.

Sam The Seagull - I will need you tommorow morning at 8am at the bank.

Colleague - OK thank you.

Council Worker - Why, thank you little white feathered beast.

Sam The Seagull - (To Colleague) He dissing me, I don't have to take this shit I could have him killed with one feather.

Colleague - He was not dissing you he is just a bit wrong in this head.

 

Sam The Seagull Exits

 

Colleague - YOU DUMB FUCK YOU COULD OF HAD US KILLED

Council Worker - I don't understand.

Colleague - Well I will tell you something you will understand, you say another word to Sam and I will fucking kill you with my bare hands.

Council Worker - OK then, kranky.

 

Outside the bank at 8am.

 

Sam The Seagull - OK, now this is what we are going to do. I will go in and when I screech that will be the signal for you to go in.

 

Sam The Seagull goes into the bank.

 

Colleague - OK now when we do go in don't touch anything. Do you understand?

Council Worker - (sigh) of course I understand (While playing with ATM)

 

At 8.30am a screech is heard, The Council Worker and his Colleague proceed into the bank. Feathers are scene everywhere all the staff are hurt and unconscious and a struggling Sam The Seagull is seen.

 

Colleague - Sam are you alright.

Sam The Seagull - I don't think I am going to make it.

Council Worker - (Spotting an open safe) sir......

Colleague - Not now, Marc can't you see it's not time.

Council Worker - BUT SIR....

Colleague - NOT NOW CAN'T YOU SEE SAM IS DYING HERE.

Sam The Seagull - Before I die I have one thing to say you know how you needed money.

Colleague - Yeah

Sam The Seagull - I have managed to break into the s.......(Sam dies before he could finish saying "safe")

Colleague - Crying, What was he going to say?

Council Worker - He was going to say s.....(Sirens are heard outside)

Colleague - Not enough time we have to the job quickly and fast.

Council Worker - But is was important.

Colleague - NO TIME.

 

The run to the management room. There is a hatch under the carpet they go down the ladder and it's pitch black with no lights.

 

Colleague - We need to make some sort of torch type thing.

 

They find a broomstick on the floor they set it on fire and make it into a torch.

 

Colleague - Where is that fuse?

Council Worker - There it is (pointing at a buttom which says "Self Destruct")

Colleague - You Idiot that will blow us up.

Council Worker - (Finding the fuse) found it (he takes it out) and the whole of the city centre loses power.

 

A voice is heard in a megaphone "This is the police we have the place surrounded".

 

Colleague - SHIT

Council Worker - There is only one option, we need to dig a tunnel.

Colleague - That is fucking mad but it is the only option.

 

They start digging and eventully end up in The Union Terrace Gardens.

 

Council Worker - This place is bigger than I thought maybe we could put a Ice Rink here aswell.

Colleague - Don't you think that is pusing it.

Council Worker - It's only an extra £100,000, not much.

Colleague - Fine then we have come this far.

 

The bank catches fire they forgot about the torch and shortly after the bank explodes the police presume the criminals are dead and will return the next day to search for bodies.

 

The worker and his colleague get bank to the dark lights out bank and proceed to the basement.

 

Colleague - OK, all we need to do is to punch the guards and get the money.

Council Worker - So let's go.

 

They start punching the guards and the Council Worker boosts out some (Chuck Norris) moves and kills the guards accidently.

 

Colleague - You dumb fuck now you have killed the guards thats murder.

Council Worker - The go into the safe and take £300,000 out to spend on the UTG.

 

Later in the office.

 

Colleague - Now the city will have the New Year it deserves.

Council Worker - What's New Year?

 

The END

No, but having some facillities for culture will help I can see them building an arts centre in the Union Terrace Gardens to help with culture bid.

Summery

 

This Christmas & New Year the council will be spending £300,000 to get the people into the gardens by having a big party and sticking an Ice Rink in there for good measure.

[MattJimF]

No, but having some facillities for culture will help I can see them building an arts centre in the Union Terrace Gardens to help with culture bid.

Will it be run by PVA?

[Murrr]

If the MTV Europe Music Awards come to Aberdeen will they be held in The Moorings and hosted by Fudge? 'Cause I'm nae going if they're not.

[Guest Cool Thinker]

Took me an hour to write that story about how the council funding was connected to the powercut witch really did happen last month and no-body read it.

[Guest Cool Thinker]

If the MTV Europe Music Awards come to Aberdeen will they be held in The Moorings and hosted by Fudge? 'Cause I'm nae going if they're not.

 

Quite ironic that a website called "Aberdeen Music" does not support what could potentially be the biggest music event ever to take place in Aberdeen.

 

Wishful thinking but they have come to Belfast and Edinburgh before so anything could happen.

 

The new AECC Arena if it gets built could act as the venue and as for the outdoor stage maybe Union Terrace Gardens and if that is not big enough we have other parks such as Duthie, Seaton & Hazelhead park.
