Soda Jerk Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I like the novelty of having a KK whenever I'm in Manchester or Bristol, but I probably wouldn't go there too often if there was a local one. They make grand coffee though. They should sell their beans like Starbucks do. I'd buy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Krispy Kreme are the shit, but a lot of that may be the fact that I can never actually get the fucking things so I want them more. If they opened one here I'd probably go like twice then get bored of it, like Shake-A-Mania. So I was back in Aberdeen last week for the first time in a year. Man did Union Street go even further downhill since I was last back. I came out of the Trinity Centre and walked down towards the Castlegate, and it was just discount shop after discount shop after discount shop. It's pretty sad. Those new American sweetie shops up the other way are fairly pish as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city's self-esteem just plummeted and we didn't really see the point in caring about our appearance any more. We don't totally blame you, we know we weren't exactly perfect either, but it's been difficult, y'know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDrummer Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Cool Thinker - do you know what they're doing at the Guild Street junction with Market Street? Coming from the harbour, they've had the 'straight on towards Guild Street' lane closed for weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/CouncilNews/ci_cns/pr_VirginiaSt_220113.asp So what if you're travelling on Virginia Street and you want to go up on to Bridge Street or Union Street? Do you now have to go all the way down Market Street, along Riverside Drive to the BP roundabout and turn right up South College Street? That's kind of a long winded route to go 100 yards.

Guest Cool Thinker Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Virgin Atlantic Domestic Flights UPDATE They will operate under the Little Red brand owned by Virgin Atlantic but the plane will be owned and operated by Aer Lingus. There will be a 23kg bag allowance, leather seats, pre assigned seats and you will be able to get Irn-Bru and a specially made kind of tyrells crisps called Plane Crisps. The adverts have already appeared around Aberdeen including having a billboard at the train station. Edited March 1, 2013 by Cool Thinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cool Thinker Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I have been reading my Pizza Hut thread again and cannot stop laughing at this: Lucky Rathen, on 20 May 2011 - 21:33, said: "I got food poisoning from it once about 8 years ago, was puking and shitting for 3 days. Shit my pants on the first day. Wouldn't have set foot in the fucking place, good riddance to it." Sorry Lucky Rathen please don't ban me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cool Thinker Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 The opening of Carluccio's in Union Square has hit a problem Pure Spa have objected to Carluccio's getting an alcohol licence. Pure Spa which will be next door to the restaurant has said that it could affect business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Bob's post was best: I remember one time I went there and got pizza and this other time I went there I got pizza again. But the first time I had some cola to wash down my pizza with and the second time I can't remember what I had which is weird because the other time was more recently unless I'm getting the two times mixed up. There was a third time I went there and I got pizza but I don't like to talk about it. 25 years? Wow. Incidentally CT, how did you manage to work there in 2008 when you were 11? I worked there back in 2008 made loads of friends it was good and so was the pizza. Its good that is lasted a 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
