Bluto10 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Apart from the misuse of a semicolon... which Bluto still doesn't understand, despite being pulled up for it numerous times.right sotr min. There are clearly two separate clauses in that sentence which are both I dependent and linked in theme and content. Don't mess with the best. And never underestimate me. Link to comment

Don't mess with the best. And never underestimate me. One of the first things you learn, during primary school English grammar, is that you should never use a semicolon with a conjunction. There is absolutely no need and it's just retarded. You do it all the time. Link to comment

RabidGiraffe Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Zip. But it's a cracking idea! I'm all for pedestrianising Onion Street, preferably give the building facades a good scrub and polish like they did with Marischal College at the same time.. However it is still a major thoroughfare for traffic, especially buses. Would need some proper joined-up-thinking from the cooncil regarding transport and infrastructure in order to avoid chaos and that's not very likely Link to comment

looksgoodinred Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Who's going to pay to get all the seagull shite cleaned off of the Perspex? and if you're not a fan of the various beggars and homeless people about, you'll really hate a covered area. where they'll take up residence.and it'l not only be covered in seagull shite, but reeking of piss. EDIT: it was done in Ottawa years ago. i can't say i find pedestrianizing streets massively successful in general. a lot of through traffic and trade is then lost. but presumably there's some kind of middle ground to be had. but not one that includes enclosing whole sections of street. millions of dollars were spent to shelter pedestrians from the elements. shopowners thought it would draw more people to the area. but it had the opposite effect. This would block off all of the traditional storefronts with a continuous shed-like structure. If you were there at the time you will remember it as a nightmarish fetid space. Even though they opened the sliding glass doors in the summer, it was cramped and claustrophobic. In the winter the enclosures were warmed by open electrical heating coils hanging from the roof. It was a bit like walking through a tubular toaster. At night the sidewalks were lit by harsh sodium vapour lamps. Had the City persisted with the minimal shelter plan it might have been a success, but the enclosed sidewalks' notorious social problems (public urination, sleeping homeless people, and perceived security concerns) quickly turned the experiment into a costly embarrassment. within a few years, they were removed. and the transmit mall concept abandoned, and the road re-opened to traffic. Aberdeen's obviously a different place than here. but even given the more inclement weather we have, it's clear people want some form of shelter from the elements perhaps, but don't like being trapped like bugs in a jar. i''d discourage anyone from promoting an enclosed pedestrian area in an effort to build foot traffic.

But Aberdeen is now in danger of being named the most dismal community in Scotland. The Granite City has emerged as an unlikely front-runner in the annual Carbuncle awards, which name and shame towns and cities that have been scarred by woeful planning and unsightly architecture. Over the years the contest has been dominated by concrete-blighted, central belt new towns, such as Cumbernauld, Glenrothes and Linwood. But now it has just been confirmed that Scotland’s affluent third city has been shortlisted for the unwanted accolade.

Dandyesque Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Holy tits, I've worked in Glenrothes and it is the fucking pits. The nicest part was the Premier Inn I was staying at. Aberdeen centre is pretty tragic but by fuck it's nothing like that shambles. True. But it can be with the hard work and perseverance of AC Council Link to comment

All the nominated places get a paragraph or two - http://www.urbanrealm.com/carbuncles/2014/nominations/4/Plook_on_the_Plinth_Award.html Aberdeen gets a single sentence - Aberdeen: where architecture goes to die. To be fair that is probably all that needs to be said. Link to comment
Bobby Connor Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Aberdeen has some amazing architecture but the council are clearly useless. I get the impression that this is having a go at the council because you canna really compare Aberdeen and Cumbernauld. Link to comment
RabidGiraffe Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Aberdeen does have some great buildings but none of them are recent. Can anyone name a building constructed in Aberdeen since the beginning of the oil boom that is of any real merit? Link to comment
Bobby Connor Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Aberdeen is in danger of absolutely failing to capitalise on the oil boom. I have made this point before. Easy come, easy go. I've witnessed exactly what happens when the industry dries up. Aberdeen should be investing in its future now. Get the infrastructure in. Build for the future. Nothing like that is actually happening or likely to happen... Link to comment
Bobby Connor Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Aberdeen is a beautiful city and you know what the first time I stepped into the South Stand was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I think we beat hearts 4-1. Or maybe it was the time Charlie Nic. Curled that volley past Pat bonner from Theo's kick out. Awesome city and team. Probably a bit harder to get it when you live there.

ChutneyLove Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I tell you where's looking shit nowadays. Rosemount.Went to a party years ago in Rosemount Square. The folk seemed alright when we were out. Got back there and their neighbours turned up. Left shortly afterwards. Minkersville. A little pocket of shit in Aberdeen's centre. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Rosemont Square has never been good min.I've worked in a few dodgers flats in there.That's going back 15+ years now and it was a hole back then. Link to comment
