It's literally the only thing I've ever bought from Matalan but if all their clothes last ten years I'd probably consider a membership. This isn't true, I bought a suit at the same time. Browny black with pinstripes. The suit lasted pretty well also. I think I might even still have the jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improved Thinker Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 The Spertacus Group are thinking about selling Nox, Paramount and The Illicit Still. This is so they can concentrate on their Boozy Cow brand. They will be opening 3 new Boozy Cow's each year. The success so far has prompted them to sell up their bars. They also own The Amicus Apple but they are closing that and moving Boozy Cow into there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post this earlier but the website was down. Amicus Apple is closing down and The Boozy Cow will move in there. Don't say I'm not good to you. Good news about Boozy Cow. The only thing letting that place down is its current premises. They could do with some plates too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleston Road will be served off peak by extended service 18's. Frequency does not change staying at 10 Minutes most of the time. Service 5 (Northfield - Balnagask) - Service will extended to start at Northfield rather than Bridge Street.

Service 18 is extended hourly Monday to Friday at off peak times to extend to Cove and Charleston. This will reinstate a link from Kincorth to Cove. This extension is for a trial period and will be monitored. Frequency does not change staying at 15 Minutes most of the time. Service 20 (Hillhead of Seaton - Union Terrace) - Timetable change.

Improved Thinker Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) PC World at Mounthooly has moved and has merged into Curry's/PC World at Berryden. Coming full circle in that they have returned to the unit they vacated approx. 2004. A new Tesco will open in it's place. The Aberdeen Christmas Village has returned to Union Terrace for a second year. This year has additions of a Christmas Tree Maze and Helter Skelter. This will stay open until Sunday 8th January 2017. This will be the final year it's going to be at Union Terrace as it's intended to move to the newly pedestrianized Broad Street next year. Kiko Milano have opened in Union Square in House of Fraser.com's old unit. Barburrito have also opened in Union Square. There are now Christmas lights on Market Street for the first time. Not new news but a Trampoline Park will open in AC Yule's old building in Kincorth. Edited November 29, 2016 by Improved Thinker 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improved Thinker Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 The Café/Bar in the Belmont Filmhouse has as of today stopped serving food. The space will still be open to serve drinks only until the end of April. This is part of the closedown of the Belmont Café/Bar which is closing due to poor use.
