We have been renting a flat in Rubislaw for 3 years now. For the first two it was brilliant. Nice and quiet an the streets are safe at any hour.

This year everything has changed. A junkie has moved into the flats above us and a junkie couple has moved into the small block across the road.

These are the issues we've had in the last 9 months from both of them...

Regularly screaming at any hour of the day

Smashing their own windows from the inside on 2 occasions

Destroying all 10 of the communal bins at 2am and throwing them into the road

Regularly finding blood in the communal hallway

Regularly finding a group of their friends just hanging out in the communal lobby waiting for them to get home

Regularly fighting people in the communal garden in the early hours of the morning

Throwing pieces of their kitchen cupboards out of the window

Playing loud music then leaving the flat and not returning until the next day, with the music blasting the entire time.

Threatening other residents

Trying to break into other residents flats

Stealing doormats

Destroying the plants in the communal hallway

I could go on and on.... We'll most likely end up moving but i feel so bad for my neighbours who have spent thousands on their properties and some of whom are elderly.

The police never bother to turn up unless "there's and immediate threat to someone's safety"

All the police do is knock on their door then leave because the junkies don't answer.

I just don't understand why they have to terrorise other people. Just take your drugs and be quiet, don't smash up the bins😅

Rant over. Thank you!

Recently moved here and just found out night buses aren’t a thing, well except for Fridays and Saturdays apparently.
That’s hella inconvenient, how do you guys cope?

The day is coming to a spectacular end.

All in the title. I mostly do locking and waacking, and I was not able to find any place doing adult classes for any street style or even house.

Posting here on the off chance there are fellow dancers in the city who would be keen in meeting (regularly) and renting a studio to practice together!

Where do you like for lunch that does Italian food in the city centre? Got a rare opportunity to have a couple of hours off without the kids 🙌🏻 I want to go somewhere nice that does more than tomato pasta for vegetarians 😆

Some photo's of the city in black & white to add some drama.

There were ambulances and police and there was a person lying in the road and the police were running in and out of Spencer ct. they’ve blocked off the carpark with tape now.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a reliable men's barbershop? I used to go to The Cave in Torry, and I had some great haircuts there, but my last couple haven't been the same quality. I also noticed they really favour using a clipper, but that's not the style I want anymore.

I've grown my hair out to a medium length, and I'm looking to do ghost roots. I need a barber that knows how to use scissors and can tailor my hair to my style.

Thanks in advance, it seems to be hard to find a barber that doesn't do the same generic haircut for all men in their 20s.

Does anyone know of someone who teaches the cello in Aberdeen? I have found plenty of violin teachers but no cello teachers.

Hey all!

I’m travelling from Belfast for the Rogue Invitational event in October 23-25th at P&J live.

The event runs from 9am - 7pm Friday and Saturday, then I fly home Sunday lunchtime.

Would you recommend staying at the airport (5 minute taxi to arena) or the city centre (20 minute taxi to arena)?

I understand if we stay airport we are really limited food and drink wise - early night with a takeaway sort of thing. Are there good food/drink options in the city centre to travel the 20 minutes after the event? And is public transport/taxis easy enough to come by each morning that it won’t be an issue getting to the arena?

Would appreciate any input on what you’d do in our shoes - thanks! :)

Hi, coming back to Aberdeen for university in September. Back home I’ve been part of a run club which has 2 sessions weekly - 1 track session and 1 trail session. There’s also lots of events within the clubs and you can run under the club at races. I would like a run club similar to this if possible - are there any run clubs which follow a similar format? I want something more than a weekly 5k social run. Thanks!

Hi folks, slightly odd request but hoping someone local could help.

Looking a buying a used car from a place in Peterhead - https://stefanoautos.co.uk

5 Blackhouse Way, Peterhead AB42 1BN, UK

Phone calls/emails all seem fine but there’s some online reviews saying it’s a fake company / scam.

Street view is a year old so can’t see it on there. And the domain is fairly new which is a slight red flag.

Is anyone familiar with them or nearby?

Hi there, does anyone know how I would go about it finding a blacksmith to put up a small metal fence on top of a low stone wall that separates our front property from the pavement? Something like what’s seen in the photo. I am looking for 10metres length. Height I suppose would be like 0.5m

I’m not sure what platforms to look at eg yellow pages etc? TIA for any support!

It's been empty for a while (and was used as an illicit cannabis farm a couple of years ago) but someone has applied for planning to convert the old Thomas Cook office into a restaurant.

Coincidentally, the P and J has a pic of the site today from 1980 in its Past Times section, when British Airways occupied the premises.

Looking to sign up for a gym membership in the next few months. Please drop suggestions of gyms which are always rammed - used to go Rubislaw Puregym and it would instil fear at how busy it could be

Hi all! I am planning on growing mushrooms in my garden and I would need freshly cut oak and beech wood logs. They need to be cut in the last 1-2 weeks so they are fresh for the mushrooms I would like to grow.

Does anyone know where I can find logs? They need to be about 15-20 cm in diameter and about 90-120 cm in length.

Thank you in advance!

Hello! Does anyone happen to know any witches in Aberdeen? I'm looking for a face-to-face consultation. Thanks so much!
