Tyrant

I did for my last car but I used www.carwow.com which meant there was no salesman actively trying to sell to me and that a deal was agreed before we ever met face to face. All the salesman did was the handover when I went to collect. Would definitely use carwow.com again. I got offered a few good prices on there (although not locally unfortunately) and I went to Lawrence of Kemnay and asked them to price match (as they're my closest dealer) but they boy, for whatever reason refused so I then arranged to go to Glasgow. The next day LoK emailed me and offered me a shite excuse and an even worse discount at which point I told them that I can't take their offer seriously if they weren't going to take me seriously. I actually found that a lot whilst looking at cars. Because I look in my 20s they all assumed I couldn't afford a new car and I'd be treated as a time waster. I find dealing with car sales/dealerships on any level fucking nauseating.

They're nae affectionately known as "Arnold Shark" for nothing! I've had the same experiences when dealing with my partner's car. When she bought her car it came with 2 years free MOTs so a year later we booked it in and low and behold this "free" MOT had turned up about £300 worth of supposedly required repairs. I know some basics about cars. I'm not an expert or anything but I'm not a complete mug either so I told them not to do the work and I took the car for a £45 MOT at Granite City Motors at Muggiemoss and it passed with the cost of an hour's labour (to strip and clean the rear brakes as opposed to the lengthy list of parts that Arnold Clark wanted to replace). When they phoned a year later asking when we wanted to come in for our next MOT they were telt where to go. I worked for John Clark for a while and working with salesmen was easily worse than dealing with some of the oil wankers and civil servant arseholes that I've dealt with since. 99 out of a 100 of the cunts are corrupt and mentally ill.

If you take the Mither Tap route (I think it's called that?) it's steep and rocky in places. There is a more family friendly route for you younger eens as you say although I forget what that route is called.

Just me that's been to countless Rangers games home, away and neautral over the years and never heard us sing about the Ibrox disaster? I saw a pished youth at Ibrox sing it solo before promptly being told to wise up so I'm not counting that. Aye the Simmie song got sung and as stupid as it is is it really as bad as their sectarian bile? Nae IMO my opinion. I haven't watched the highlights yet and probably never will. Right now I can't see myself watching football ever again. I hope that feeling fades.. or maybe I don't.

Many happy returns N&Ts.

Had a walk up Bennachie on Saturday. Lovely weather for it. It's been a few years since I did Bennachie and it was tougher than I remember. I guess it depends on what path you take. Planning on doing Ben Nevis again at some point this summer. Nae really interested in yer sheer rock face, hard to climb types. I'll stick to the 3 out of 5 difficulty levels. There's a mahoosive snake at the "Pet's" Corner at Hazelhead park. It's got it's ain conservatory that it lives in. Huge. The size of thing that could eat people. Nae me like but normal sized people. Never seen one in the wild. And although I wouldn't say I have a fear of them I'd be happy if it stayed that way.

Correct. Happy Gilmore is an exception to the rule. Although I remember enjoying his late 90s offering "Big Daddy" at the time too. Can't think of anything else.

Not a lot on the horizon that looks particularly good IMO. Last night I watched Criminal Activities on Netflix. It was nae too bad.

Nail on the head. It's a fucking disgrace. We did play decent stuff at times. We started strongly and as the first half went on they grew into the game. In the second half we had a lot of pressure and a few chances and should have been a couple of goals to the good at least. You get away with it against shite like Killie but when you're standing off a team as much as we seem to stand off this mob then it's asking for trouble. The only thing that can make up for this is a convincing win at the Big Hoose and I bet you'd get long odds on that. Nae fucking happy. Jack, Considine and Shinnie were excellent up until they scored. Most of the team were getting stuck in and seemed up for it. Freak result, smash and grab.. whatever you want to call it it fucking stings all the same. Not fucking good enough.

That's an absolute disgrace tbh. They should be embarrassed.

That's a pity that is. Adam Sandler's last good film.

Horrible time to be cursed with this award!

I kent you kent fuck all about Golf when you didn't tip Shooter for the W.

My money's on Shooter McGavin

You guys are quite talented for turning the most innocent of threads into a sordid NSFW landmine of a thread! Born ARI Infirmary Lived in BoD Don before moving to Holland, then back to BoD, then oot to near Mintlaw/Strichen and now back in BoD after living at several different areas of Aberdeen like Dyce, Hilton and the city centre. I funcied living abroad again but won't be embarking on that any time soon.

Get Out is a good film. CHIPs Law and Disorder was better than I expected. But tbh be honest when a film critic slates a film that usually just makes me think I'll enjoy it.

Part time supporter.

Sack the board.

ED is correct. The quotes say nothing of the sort. It'd be good for your credibility if you could just admit that you're wrong on that small front and concede that you may have exaggerated. I'm on your side here. I'd have loved if you were here contributing rational, reasoned and plausible arguments rather than hysteria and fabricated exaggerations. I too am against a stadium out the road (be it Lorriston, Kingsford or Blackdog) but I do now accept that the ship has sailed on anything realistically being possible at or near the current stadium.

Just me that doesn't see a working video on that link?

Got any plans to produce any proof of club officials stating that the club will die if we don't leave Pittodrie? Starting to lose patience with you in all honesty.

Fucking hell Theo. That's cheered me right up.

Because I guess the SNP felt it'd be too much for folks' fragile little minds to deal with. My money's on you voting No again even if there was an excellent currency solution in place.

Welcome aboard loon.

Yes. Genuinely interested. So please provide just one direct quote from either man where they state that the club will "die" if we don't move to Kingsford. Just one quote. Please.
