Yeah i was trying to remember what the other 1 was called before it became that Irish bar, they used to do some mad thing on a screen where you got all your drinks free. It used to happen to us nearly every time we went there, they must of lost so much money so it's little wonder it shut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campus? Then the Irish bar. And probably a few things in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember the story correctly the bar was going under, he made the whole thing up to fill the bar for one night then legged it with the takings. Biz was/is a complete fucking arsehole, on here and in real life. Bellend of a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Forgot all about Biz too, until I saw that. Seemed to know a few things about drums I recall, but, yeah, that final quoted post (I couldn't stomach more than the bookends...talking about the Sparkles thread; not the Smith hoax thread, which I do vaguely remember) was a yet a bit more weird (leaving aside the bit about the teenage girls, and their imagined mums, and if they'd been a bit older.... uh, yeah, "weird" doesn't quite cover that) than I recall. No idea who the man behind the avatar is /was though.Which I guess is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Fucking hell, I don’t remember half the stuff I posted on here. That Sparkles thread...Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 The puns mostly happen on Facebook these days. https://www.facebook.com/groups/738175009709861/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Improved Thinker Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I joined the forum back in 2011 and fell in love with the back catalogue of threads. I found it fascinating learning about old clubs and pubs in Aberdeen. I think it was an aspergers thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
