ericblack4boss Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 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 Link to comment

Henry Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 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. Link to comment
Redforever86 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 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. Link to comment

tommo1903 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 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. Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 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.

Henry Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Some of us aren't minks and actually like to get out thoAye, 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. 5 Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 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. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 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? Link to comment

BillyStarkDivinHeeder Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 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. Link to comment

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

Robbie Winters Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 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 1 Link to comment

Henry Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 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. Link to comment
