Yes, the best of luck to them. Would much rather they were representing the UK than england :023:

I'll be shouting for Croatia.

I saw them 3 years ago and they were amazing, missed 2005, last year was a bit dubious but bad sound did not help - they played "Waxie's Dargle" and it sounded so bad that my friend and I (both diehards who saw them back in the day) both failed to recognise what it was initially... The jury is still out on whether we will make the pilgrimage this year!

Johnboy - you obviously haven't been to a supermarket recently either :015: - they were full of toffee apples for Halloween... Dunno if you still get em at the showies (God there's a word I've not used recently!)

I also have some memories of this as a very young forresdame - my Mum getting me to take a basket round the Spar shop as well as her, so we could get an extra bag of sugar - I think to make jam! I think each customer was only allowed to buy one 2lb bag each at any one time. But other than confirming that it was also happening in Forres I can't really add anything further to this mystery!

Laughing so much at some of these Rossco 'facts'

Good luck RossP, I'll be cheering for you too. Sorry Ivy League - it's the 'Aberdonian' thing ... and the Moray thing! :001:

Yep, I'll go along wi you on that one! Strangely, I've never actually managed to see them :009:

Aye, I'll be there as well, ken :014: It's quicker for me to walk from here to Pittodrie than it is to walk to Caley Stadium from the train station, so just try and stop me...

Yes, that was a good night - in fact I think I still owe Absent Friend and RossP a drink from then! I don't know yet if I'll make it to the Bon Accord but I'll DEFINITELY be at the game :001: I think people do appreciate Absent Friend's efforts but surely the point is that we all know where the ICT fans are meeting - in this city where we are sadly in the minority. :015: Use of the word "ken" suggests you're getting naturalized RiG. I say it all the time too!

I didn't get an EE this week. What mince was he spewing this week? http://www.thisisaberdeen.co.uk/displayNod...;pNodeId=158025

The EE drives me insane, Tangoman more so - he is such an arrogant git. Wouldn't it be fantastic to wipe the smile off his face - TWICE! :rotflmao:

All the ICT fans I am aware of in Aberdeen are either of pre uni age or erm post (average) uni-going age. That said, I cannot believe that in a student population the size of Aberdeen's that aren't some more ICT fans around somewhere! I think some of the people on one of the ICT bebo bands are Abdn-based, try looking on there too if yer on bebo. Welcome to Aberdeen, it's not always as bad as RiG sometimes makes out on this site lol... I've been living here far too long and am a mine of useless information so just shout if there's anything you wants to know - directions, pubs, shops, whatever - you will also find me on bebo (as forresdame). Lastly - you might want to change your location on here, (or not admit to being here at all :014:) but saying yer in Glasgow is just confusing! :024:

Not too many, going by a previous discussion, but I hope we'll all be out in force for the Cup game at Pittodrie! I did go to Aberdeen Uni, but that was several moons ago... :011:

Maybe someone asked him if he wanted to score for Charlie? :023: Seriously, I don't think anyone who admits posession of a Class A drug can expect to get off lightly, employment-wise, especially a professional footballer. I don't know what the answer is but I think one way or another he'll go. Just trying to stick to the facts and not comment or what he may or may not have said.

Well said SMEE :021: Kind of ironic that it's on this thread really :023: And RiG, anyone actually living in this city knows what a waste of space ACC are, I can certainly understand your choice of language!

To postulate over the advantages of a 4-4-2 formation against a 4-5-1. I wasn't questioning your motives, just your choice of drinking establishments! :015: Is it not a bit of a meat market in there? Just seems like a strange choice out of all the bars in Aberdeen!

Shop staff carrying on a conversation with each other while serving you People who continue a conversation on their mobile while being served in a shop Aberdeen City Council The new weatherman on North Tonight Vicki Butler-Henderson People who stop to chat right in the middle of the street, so you can't get past - mums with buggies excel at this - buggies side by side, smart move girls! People jumping red lights - I live at a crossroads so we get to see all the smashes Excessive swearing - when it's every second word I mean - I'm no angel myself :023: Parents who smoke all over their babies while pushing them in their buggies Bad manners - a smile goes a long way people I could go on and on ..... Hmmm, am I just a grumpy not-so-old-thank-you-very-much woman???

Ummm why? :024: I shall definitely be going :003:, midweek games are not normally an option for me.

WOW!!!!! :003: :003: :003:

Yes! We're not mad btw, this is just a follow up to something that was being talked about in the chatroom yesterday as we strived to take our collective minds off the bad news coming from Parkhead!

Hey, glad you had a good night, hope it made up for the depressing afternoon! Amazing he still looks so good after all these years. What sort of music is he doing these days? God, I am sooooo out of touch, am a real 80's child lol :015: :015: :015:

Yes, it's this Sunday the 16th! I didn't know about this! Will definitely try and make it!

You're welcome and Happy Anniversary btw. I shall be in my flat just up the road from John Lewis, listening online - C'mon Caley!!!

Pretty sure Soul on Union St has wireless internet - you can't miss it - an old church next to Waterstones if that's any help!
