Last time I was in Aberdeen we drank in a pub on Union st. It was like going back in time. Really old fashioned and they were into swing music. Do you know the pub guys. We stayed in a hotel up a side steeet opposite it. I cant remember the name of the hotel either but it had a bakers which opened for the late night revellers. They do a lovely pie
|
|
By:
If were going for a meal it's usually the Atholl Hotel. Quality.
|
|
By:
Sorry the bakers wasn't in the hotel but opposite it. Had a queue about 50 yards long at two in the morning.
|
|
By:
I can only think of the Bells hotel akabula. Although it's not a hotel now to the best of my knowledge. That would be where you drank I may add, not where you stayed.
|
|
By:
That would be Ross the bakers. Had many a pie out of there many a time when boozy, so I can't comment on the quality of their produce.
|
|
By:
The hotel was modern and of a really good standard. It was my retiring doo paid for by the company I worked for. Although most of my work colleagues were from Glasgow we decided on Aberdeen. Why Aberdeen? I can't remember the reason as only one of the party was from there.
|
|
By:
I can only think of the Copthorne hotel akabula. Quality, but very expensive.
|
|
By:
I think it is my duty to report that the night life in Aberdeen is rank compared to Glasgow. Especially a good pub crawl in the Main St Cambuslang.
|
|
By:
Rose street in Edinburgh takes some beating for a pub crawl.
|
|
By:
I've done that trip on a few occasions after the racing. Hangover guaranteed.
|
|
By:
Off to the bookies to lighten my wallet.
|
|
By:
the hotel opposite Ross the bakers is Holiday Inn Express.
|
|
By:
One thing always puzzles me about Scottish Independence. Will they make religious bigotry an offence, or keep it as part of the curriculum?
|
|
By:

Correct sofia, but I was under the impression that akabula was speaking more of an upper class joint. |

So TipThe odds, after going on about "London Lies" you posted this whopper of a lie:
"just for the record ebulgery Scotland is a net contributor to the Exchequer, paying some 13% more in tax than it receives from London. Without Scotland England would be in even worse shape than it is now, and especially so if you don´t live in the south east." When asked to cite a source for this draw dropping fib, what did you produce? That it's 13%? 10%? 1.3%? 0.13%? No, you couldn't find a SINGLE source to back up your astounding lie that Scotland subsidises England, and best you could do is some research from some think tank nobody has heard of that from 2012 that basically says that it's not running a BIGGER deficit, it's treading water with the rest of the UK in deficit. So lets be generous and take this research as accurate, taking this best case example, that's very much not a "net contributor" "paying more than 13%". As per usual this was just a complete pile of rubbish spouted by the "Yes" side and when taken to task, they can't even begin to back their assertions up. I'll help you will I? Scotland ran a whopping DEFICIT of £12 billion in the year 2012-13. That's INCLUDING oil, and worse per capita than the rest of the UK. (many many sources on that, BBC/many newspapers, it's the official Scot Gov figures)) As these figures are pretty horrible for the SNP they instead try to mislead people by not comparing income/expenditure but instead relative incomes. It's a dishonest trick relying on people not understanding the maths. That's why I said specifically "Go on, source your 13% surplus figure from a reputable source. **And do NOT try the SNPs sneaky trick of comparing relative tax intakes NOT income take versus expenditure.**" So what do you? You clearly can't produce any figures showing net contribution as they don't exist, so you try the sneaky trick and try "comparing relative tax intakes NOT income take versus expenditure" even though you had pre warning I was onto that game!!! When you look at this thread, the fantasy economics, lies from the yes side, assertions, cries of scaremongering, and the anti posh and anti tory ranting, it's really a snapshot of the nationalist campaign, and how sad petty dishonest and baseless it is. |

Good post Just Checking. As for ebulgery, he usually ignores posts that proves him wrong.

Apologies, that should read Tip The Odds, but they're as bad as each other imo.
