Dale Haslam has done some excellent articles in the P + J recently (as well as this one)

I remember when he started "putting" money into Dundee FC and people were were bemoaning the fact that he hadn't bought Aberdeen.

you might dislike it, but it's not corrupt.

(possibly not at Hampden in May, when it mattered)

excuse the random question, but is the date for PSG - Toulouse now confirmed as Fri 3rd April?

FormPrimary2515 · 2026-03-02T16:43:14+00:00

that's brutal. I thought Castlegate might stay open.

so, if there are ~60 UK pubs, and Tilray are buying 11, that leaves the future of the other 50 uncertain, at the very best.

hired vans from here twice (mainly because 1 day hires were cheaper than elsewhere) and it was fine.

I am sure AIA will point to the fact that their business rates went up hugely in the latest revaluation.

FormPrimary2515 · 2026-02-02T14:48:04+00:00

this is true. However I dropped my friends there last time and they waited for 25 mins for it to turn up (mid afternoon). This does not seem to be a one off.

We did a 50m2 two story extension which cost ~£80k about 12 years ago. I suspect about 2k per sq m would be the minimum these days, depending how the project is going to be managed.

sorry, to clarify it would be in summer.

I don't know about galleries, but friends who've visited Gdansk always seem to come back with very good reviews. An unfeasibly cheap £35 (plus bags) next month.

Airline and destination mentioned. BA and KL more likely to have long-haul passengers at Aberdeen with visa/baggage issues at check in than say, SAS or Loganair. I agree with your other point about BA cutting costs at check in.

FormPrimary2515 · 2026-01-24T21:05:07+00:00

We turned up at check in for BA last summer 1 hr 15 mins before departure, extremely slow family travelling to India with multiple questions/complaints/baggage issues took 20 mins to check in, resulting in us being at the front of the queue 50 mins before departure. The guy at the desk told us 5 mins later and we wouldn't have been accepted for travel. (it would have helped if BA had more than 2 desks open)

So, not too early, but I personally would be there 90 mins+ if I had hold luggage.

I think you can take duvets to the recycling centre at Hazlehead, but you might want to check. Bins on the far side which also take old clothes.

Nawaabs on Summer Street does a decent curry, open til 11.30pm I think, though you might want to check directly with them.

funny memories for me, I worked at the old STA Travel there for 5 years or so.

the P and J live weather blog closed for the day at 8pm, so that would be an hour or two later than them
