  1. Do you believe that France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Austria, Belgium etc. are not independent countries as they do not have a central bank in their country?
  2. ;As I said to my brother if we won today(st johnstone) and at celtic park it will be one of the greatest weeks in our recent history. YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
  3. Easier to get home but it does sound shit and annoying.
  4. Some might say they were hoping for a higher attendance at the final! But it certainly did not feel like at our game.
  5. we're going to fucking do these cunts. But I'm out because I have never been to either Ibrox nor Celtic Park and, neural ground aside, I never plan to go.
  6. I pretty much fancy any girl who snowboard or skis. I was delighted when they said a girl on the snowboard freestyle run was "old" and she was 23. The winter olympics is grand.
  7. English football and the EPL especially is just one big joke. Fucking awful league.
  8. I have a feeling were going to fucking do these cunts. Not going though as I hate Celtic.
  9. I need to stop being some grumpy - I think your right! I was just thinking in the sense that now people wouldn't even have to go outside to go to their soulless chain restaurants. I have no idea what the attraction of union square is to eat out in. But pedestrianising union street is the easiest, fairly cheap way of getting life back in the city centre.
  10. Much better than the studio stuff - which I don't care that much for.
  11. So Aberdeen, if it not already there, will just become one giant big shopping centre where we can all eat in Nandos, Frankies and Bennies and TGI Fridays. Brilliant.

    Need to stop getting pissed and posting on here! Also about the anti NHS stuff I'm sorry but I kind of beleive in a Swiss based insurance system. Think of all these drunks ending up in hospital for no reason and the amount they cost Also sorry for the independence stuff. Just getting closer to the time and I feel I am getting more passionate about it.
  13. Pretty sure the bastards on sky sports had this down as 2:1 Motherwell as full time when I was in the pub. Was a pleasant surprise when I got back though! Looked like a good game though and another late goal is always good.

    I feel slightly embarrassed with the slagging off the Tories aspect as I am actually pretty right wing and liberal. I believe drugs, prostitution etc. should be legal while at the same time I struggle with the idea of an NHS with no cost at entry. It feels like such a good example of moral hazard - with the idea of free at the point of entry. With this point I often wonder if I could stay in an independent Scotland if it became to left wing. The freer the markets the freer the people and all that! But that's by the by. When I look at the house of lords and with the two most powerful people in this country both belonging to the bullingdon club I struggle to understand how people can proudly vote no. Localisation is both good for the people and the nation. I do not want to seem small minded I'd like to think I can look beyond the referendum as a reasons for leaving. It'd maybe not be the reason but would be a fairly big catalyst. Also another thing is that I swiftly edited out when I was sober, now I'm drunk again so I'll put back in. I was thinking donstalk is such a great community - between chatting to Mizer the night before my brothers wedding, speaking to Ajja in a Dundee pub, listening to fatjims radio show, chatting to CTS and Scottfree in live chat and all the general advice that I have received from here. I've been thinking about moving away for a while now and I feel no problem asking here for advice. I feel a virtual round is in order!

    Moving Away

    I now ask your collect wisdom to help me. I know some have you have moved abroad and I'm wondering about your experiences? I do not believe in nationalism however I feel, for various reasons, that if Scotland votes no I cannot stay here. My father also moved away fairly young and, for various reasons, I feel I should not stay in Aberdeen, at least not when I have youth on my side. I will graduate with a 2:2(due to lack of trying and effort) in accountancy. I was wondering what the people on here think about moving away? I was thinking about trying to get experience here first and then think about other options - seems like a good way of doing things. Another option I was thinking of was using savings to move to somewhere in Europe, live there and learn the language and then go job hunting. Anyway I will soon be at a cross roads in my life and I appreciate everyone's inout.
  16. Had to walk round that at around 0330. The taxi must have ran over someone as it had a smashed in windscreen. Hope the guy is alight.
  17. Surely there must have been more than 12.7k there? They opened the upper RDS and there were pretty much no seats in the SS or mainstand. Where are the 8k empty seats. I am getting pissed off with the official attendances making Aberdeen look like a shite tiny club.
  18. Sorry to burst your bubble... http://www.snopes.com/photos/medical/klaner.asp
  19. But it is still theft. It doesn't matter if it affects tv companies or not it is theft. It is not the same as sharing a book or dvd as you have paid for the right to lend or sell that asset, you are not recreating the asset and then passing it on. I still don't understand why stealing intellectual property rights is different from stealing from a shop? The affects of the theft should make no difference to the morality of it. I am sure Sainsburys can afford me stealing my weekly shop instead of paying for it but it does not make it morally right. If a lot of people stole from Sainsburys they might become more popular though which would be a bonus! And I don't understand why you mention netflix as it is the opposite of piracy? People who subscribe to netflix, like me , contribute to the film industry by paying for the service instead of getting it online for free. Anyway I am arguing about the morality of stealing rather than the cons or benefits of it. I don't care if there are not many effects of piracy(which I dispute but can't be bothered looking into as trying to finish off my essay/can't be fucked looking into) the truth is that it is theft be it tangible or intangible assets.
  20. This happened about 10/15 years ago, I remember - I am not that young anymore! But, I am no expert in piracy and the way it affects the entertainment business, but I am guessing there are two differences... 1. The scale between a few folk bothering to tape things off the radio and tv compared to millions watching things for free on the internet is pretty big and... 2. If you were to tape something off the tv or radio then your still having to tune into the tv/radio station which is a source of revenue. Internet piracy only provides revenue for the website via adverts so they are freerolling the work of others Anyway I don't really care if people pirate or not in the same way that I don't particularly care if someone steals something from a shop. It's the arrogance by which people do it that annoys me. Stealing intellectual property rights should be thought of as the same as stealing assets but it's not. If I create something, a book, painting, film etc. why should you, or anyone else, be allowed to view it without giving the owner compensation? No one has answered that.
  21. If Scotland votes no I am leaving. Think I might go to Denmark after watching the bridge.

    That's is quite old fashioned. That must be the first time since the Queen Mother was brown bread?
  24. Why does no one seem to want to go for Paul Hartley? I'd hope he is not waiting for the train wreck that is Hearts to become available.
