Hotels in Aberdeen

I hear the Ranch in inverurie has gone so far downhill that now the Robson s don't even drink there.

[ericblack4boss]

To be fair Roberto, that's no hard to be superior to the Ranch since the raid last year it's gone downhill, I don't mind the black bull pop in for pint before supporters bus comes

[ericblack4boss]

Roberto what's the story with the bennachie lodge, the same proprietors that have jaffs at dunecht and us ex to have my old local in Premnay,

[Henry]

Thing is success as the Cloverleaf has shown is not enough to save you.

 

Surfing the net and trailing through a 1000 channels of shite on TV has killed the midweek pint.

 

The police being obsessed with drink drivers has killed the country pubs here.

Surely the new legal limit of fuckall will kill country pubs. Hae to be within walking distance or get your bird to pick you up.

 

I'd love to hae one but just don't see it as a viable business unless you are a shit hot chef.

[dave_min]

There aren't any police in the countryside.

Big difference between claiming to be a asc top boy and actually being one in the day, people know me, not so much in the reverse as I'm crap with names. I know those who matter, top 20 say. Check out my friends list on facers, you'll see the last two acknowledged leaders there, ask them if they know me.

 

All history now anyway and I'm not proud of it, but check my credentials if you like, lol

 

Just yanking your chain min.

 

When are you writing a book? Could be a Trainspotting type effort. You write what went down in the 80's/90's from your perspective as a ASC top boy, Pipes does from his as a rock god/mad shagger. In the end you both become best mates on the internet.

Harcus could even spell check it.

Agreed, I think the glory days of pubs are gone unfortunately.

 

Drink is too cheap in the supermarkets.

Roberto what's the story with the bennachie lodge, the same proprietors that have jaffs at dunecht and us ex to have my old local in Premnay,

That's right Norah and Peter run both Jaffs and the Bennachie Lodge in Kemnay.

[King Street Loon]

Is the Burnett Arms in Kemnay still on the go?

Used to frequent it now and again when I was going out with a quine from there.

[ericblack4boss]

Fuck me the Burnett, I mind when Sandy elrick had it, it was not the most debonair of places, last time I drank in kemnay wad at the Lairds throat, I was asked at the door if I had a knife, when I replied no, I was told you'd better fuck off and get one then.

[King Street Loon]

Haha that sounds about right.

 

Ahh the memories.

[ericblack4boss]

At the Premnay one night Peter and Norah had a hoor of a set to and Peter was told to get on his bike, he left and 're- entered on a push bike and proceeded to cycle round the bar,

Norah used to have a lovely new foudland dog, Nelson he used to walk around the bar causing destruction similar to downtown Beirut, just by his size and wagging his tail.

The Premnay used to be run by a bloke from Alford jinky Jim Johnstone, total shithouse, tried to poison his then girlfriend , she actually owned the pub and he wanted it, there was several instances of the Malcolm Webster with the yon cunt, he claimed he was once a marine and after I organised a Jeffrey of his pub he threatened to have me knee capped.

Some of us aren't minks and actually like to get out tho

[Henry]

Aye, but I wouldn't like to buy a pub if I was budgeting on the basis of loners coming in to use the wifi and watch Man Utd games.

 

I'd have to shut at 7pm for one thing.

[ChutneyLove]

Owning pubs is hard work. Rewards are sometimes good. Only way to put up with drunken fools is to become one. Unfortunate position that comes with the turf.

[ChutneyLove]

Was also rewarding when said drunken owner would open up his hard house nightclub especially for me and Billystarkdivinheeder in the afternoon for a sweep down the optics and a blast of the decks.

Boy must be a feel. Did you get the special nips or just the optics?

[ScottishAndDutch]

Atleast Johny already having a son.

[ericblack4boss]

A pub landlord once told me that the bandit in a pub paid for foreign holidays.

[BillyStarkDivinHeeder]

Canna really mind as we were all ready a shambles.

 

I'm sure it would have been more than an untastable 25ml.

 

Remember when we left Slinky tried to run across the road, fell, and nearly got hit by a car?

 

Then we caused a right old ruckus in the Windmill. Still not sure what we did.

 

Before CL's free bar me and you were asked to leave the Tilted Wig and Slink and CL were chucked out of the Moorings, think we were wearing out our welcome in Wagley's too. Think the free bar was fast becoming our only option where our behaviour would go unpunished.

 

Early KOs against the Huns had a lot to answer for.

 

Anyway, hotels? Shagged a bird in the Thistle a while ago. The room was quite nice, 8/10.

[tightbreeks]

tam cowan also moonlights as a restaurant critic, whilst he's not doing off the ball showing off his "hawns", "sare airims" and "shudders".

 

when he scores the meal, his marks include.

 

food

service

surroundings

toilets

value fo...

 

wait a minute, toilets, so tamerus cown must be the infamous motherwell cottager.

Were you at the lock-in the coppers raided? About a dozen uniforms and half dozen plain clothes. They were sick as fuck there was no alcohol being charged for and found a solitary roach in an ashtray. I think they thought they were cracking some drug empire. We had the party because it was some blokes birthday, but he wasn't even there which seemed to annoy the coppers. I asked if it was an offence to celebrate someone's birthday in their absence. It's not. Hehe.

Stingy bellend after that I bet. Can you nae shag her in the fud like abody else.

[Robbie Winters]

The Thistle on Union Terrace gives me the shudders.

Once had to go wake up a drunken colleague who had slept in for a course there only to find he had laid a turd right behind the door thus when opening the door created a perfect ark of shite embedded into the carpet pile. He was an awful state of a man, once shit on his wife by accident during sex

TWO multi-million pound hotels are set to open near Aberdeen airport by next autumn.

Dominvs Hospitality’s Holiday Inn hotel is on course to open in summer, while it’s hoped the Crowne Plaza will open in autumn.

ABZ Development Ltd, the company behind ABZ Business Park at Dyce, near Aberdeen International Airport, today revealed structural work has already started for the two approved hotels.

Two more hotels at the same site are expected to have plans approved early next year.

A decision on Moxy’s first venture to build a £15 million 200-room facility at the park is expected to be made by February and a decision on a 156-bedroom Ibis Hotel is expected to be made in March or April.

 

 

A FORMER university students’ union is to be turned into a luxury hotel.

Robert Gordon University (RGU) has sold part of its Schoolhill premises in Aberdeen city centre to the Malmaison Hotel du Vin group.

The buildings which have been sold are the university’s Clark building and the Students’ Union premises.

Malmaison already has a base in Aberdeen on Queen’s Road but is looking to expand.

However, it was unclear if the new scheme will be a Malmaison or Hotel du Vin development.

This latest sale of RGU’s city centre buildings follows the purchase of the St Andrew’s Street site by the Sandman Group earlier this year.

Exactly what the airport needs, additional hotels, but the road network in the area staying the same.

 

 

 

Shambles.

Who needs roads when you've got planes?

 

Fly in, walk to hotel, fly out.

 

It's the AKER way.

Sounds so simple,

 

But nothing AKER does is simple
