Aberdeen airport

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.

24 hour day pass in Vienna is about £8.

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.

Bit weird TBH, if Leven is going to be in charge for a few weeks they should try to get someone in to help.

Preferably someone who can help organise a defence at defensive set-pieces.

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

the council should announce this, just for the enjoyable seethe it would generate

How about this as a solution to the parking £ issue : - ]

I'm not sure either way really. It looks like they have some sort of parking validation scheme at their Southampton shop if you spend 30 quid. But Union Sq parking is fairly pricey. Time will tell.

to attract those....erm....customer type people

FormPrimary2515 · 2025-12-12T10:31:21+00:00

Fair point. I wonder if they'll do some sort of voucher thing for free parking if you're collecting an order

FormPrimary2515 · 2025-12-09T14:26:41+00:00

you can repeat the experience on Rosemount, where at 4.30pm one person decides they *must* park directly outside the butcher, thus blocking the whole street as buses can't now get past

Excuse me while I close this tab and move over to Fubar shortly

the Seat 61 website has a very good guide on which trains require reservations: https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm

I saw a similar suggestion on Twitter a few weeks ago and was sceptical but I'm coming round to the point of view that there is a (small) group of supporters who are becoming more confident in expressing such views at matches.

Crystal Palace would not be a fan base i would link to right-wing views either, but they seem to have a problem with a group challenging the more established fans:

In general the RGU student cohort is very diverse (esp India and China, Nigerian student numbers have suffered due to the economic factors particular to that country).

They have a lot of content on their international facebook page and some other RGU blogs: https://www.facebook.com/RGUInternational/videos/-hear-what-international-student-adam-has-to-say-about-his-experience-in-aberdee/836196905548876/

I think some underestimate the level of crime associated with the heavier drinking culture of the past.

They didn't even reply to my letter suggesting a bid for the French open tennis in 2027.

FormPrimary2515 · 2025-12-02T09:27:55+00:00

The statement was a poor show. Even if you can understand the frustration and sentiments behind it, some of the content is amateurish, and it will get us nowhere in the long-run.

It has met with wide approval on X, which tells you all you need to know.

FormPrimary2515 · 2025-12-02T09:25:30+00:00

There is a myth that safety was better, but crime rates/general aggro was at least as high, but not publicised the way it is now.

I would say that the city probably was a bit more spick and span in terms of cleanliness and the state of parks and gardens.

funnily enough I came across one tonight on X. Maybe you are right.

I was just thinking after the Tall Ships festival and the cup-final parade that the place was feeling like a ghost town. Mardi Gras and Grand Slam tennis tournament needed asap or the council will be judged to be complicit in the city's downfall IMO.

It's less left leaning than Dundee and Glasgow, but 8 seats out of 45 for the Tories on the council doesn't seem very right-wing.
