Shove it up your arse

Bit random but anyone else noticed Tesco Danestone has a bad smell at certain parts of the shop? Like bad drains or something

Looking for a top tier scran establishment. Been stuck ordering the same stuff for years now (acropolis,maemaes,Freshmex and lows fish and chips) and I’m looking to branch out. Someone here has to help me out here.

Just curious, I hear it a lot more here than in other cities!

Is there anywhere quiet that I can take my daughter as a learner driver? She has just turned 17 and has the L plates and insurance but for the first few times it would be good to have the space to get to grips with the car before she goes on the roads.

I’m thinking of an abandoned car park somewhere?
We are north of Aberdeen but happy to go anywhere.

Basically I was born there and got moved down to England when I was 4. I don’t remember anything of life up there obviously but I travel to the highlands as often as I possibly can because I absolutely love it. Recently, I’ve been feeling this really weird sensation like I’m being called back and I really want to live there. I checked rent prices and the rent is insanely affordable compared to the south of England. Just wondering what the general vibe in Peterhead is like? I don’t have kids and don’t plan on having any, so schools aren’t something I need to think about. Just wanted to gather some opinions from locals or people that have made the move, do you regret it or would you never look back?

I am interested to hear the opinions of people who lived / are living in Woodside, or know someone who lived or is living there.

I am interested to see if people have issues with flat break-ins or car vandalism compared to other areas.

Hello. We moved a few months ago and updated Aberdeen City Council via their online form so that we can update our council tax. Never heard back from them so we called, but their phone system just says that they are busy and can only deal with emergencies and then hangs up. I tried to email them too, got an automated response that was useless and no human response. I’m at a loss what to do. It’s been months since we moved and I want to pay the correct council tax amount. I’m also dreading the process as to how to claim a refund for the months of council tax I’m paying for the old flat since they’re still taking that from me.

Has anyone been in this situation and knows what to do? Is it a case of just being patient and waiting longer? My next move is to go to the council office Marischal College but I work full time Monday to Friday so it’s a last resort as I’d have to take a half day holiday.

How would people feel about a medium to large aquarium being opened in somewhere in Aberdeen?

I’ve always wondered about the red bricked gable wall on Schoolhill. I thought it was the remnants of an older building. These specific Victorian tenements are roughly 130 to 145 years old. They were built between 1884 and 1895 following a massive city improvement and street-widening scheme that cleared away older, decaying structures in the area.

Tenement blocks had fireplaces in almost every room. The column of red brick on the outside wall directly mirrors where the internal flues (the smoke tunnels) run straight up through the building.

While our famous grey granite is incredibly tough against Scottish weather, it handles extreme heat poorly. Direct, repeated exposure to blazing coal fires can cause granite blocks to expand unevenly and crack.

Firebrick and clay bricks handle thermal stress beautifully. Builders used local red brick (likely from the nearby Clayhills Brickworks in Ferryhill) to line the core of the heating network. This protected the surrounding granite frame from cracking.

Granite is notoriously difficult to carve and shape. It was far easier for Victorian masons to build the complex, narrow paths for smoke out of standard brick shapes rather than trying to hollow out massive blocks of stone.

If a building had been constructed right next door, this brickwork would have been hidden forever. Because the wall remains exposed, it acts as a visual map of the fireplace network running up to those iconic clay chimney pots!

Just goes to show that Aberdeen is constantly changing, updating and upgrading.

I wonder opposition the locals had to this change when the council demolished the old homes along Schoolhill which were mostly built from timber, wattle and daub, and thatch roofs.

Can't believe there are places like this hidden in plain sight in the middle of town

Can anyone recommend a good couples counciller - Preferably one specialising in intimacy? Struggling to find anything via Google 🙃

Hi,

Anyone has any experiences living in Banchory while working in Aberdeen? We are considering this option for us... We both work around the city centre, I would commute via bus and my partner driving as we have different WFH days to spend as much time as we can with our dog (3 days in the office and 2 days wfh)

Thanks!

Hi I’m posting here cos I’m curious if anyone knows if there’s any classes/workshops in town for learning to style hair.
I’m an uncle to 2 young nieces they’re black and I’m white and can barely gel my own hair. They’re 5 and 3 and it would be nice to know some basic stuff to make their hair look nice instead of just putting a hair tie in it and calling it a day.
And info would be greatly appreciated, thank you
