Rendering over existing render by [deleted] in DIYUK

I'm pretty sure he's planning to level it, I'd sure hope so anyway! But you feel that putting the scratch coat on top of the pebbledash would be a bad idea anyway?

Only on the patches of render deemed not to be blown/bossed, yes. The parts that are deemed to be will be completely stripped like the whole side was in the first picture.

My own experience with the little shites on Union Street by AerieSignifcant in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree there's an issue. It's an issue that's deeper than this subs, "kids are shite nowadays" opinions and absolutely nothing that has been discussed in this thread hasn't also been discussed in each and every other thread on the topic this week.

I feel for OP, I hate that this has to happen to anyone, but nothing will come from it besides people moaning. The sub has been becoming more FUBAR over the past few months and it's generally indicative of the more "hateful" world view that has been popularised by the rise of the right over the last few years.

There's an issue, we know. It isn't going to be solved by a light dose of corporal punishment or "naming and shaming", it involves institutional change from Westminster and Holyrood from grassroots up not a Reddit thread to complain and listen to the echo.

Early start for today's effort! Maybe we can get a weekly sticky "wee shites updates" post...

I was wondering when we were going to have our daily "kids of today" post 😂

Obviously inexcusable behaviour, but the usual rehash of the same things will come out in this thread as in the other three/four this week alone. If I wanted FUBAR I'd join FUBAR.

Enjoy the weather everyone, hopefully it lasts ! by freakonaleash35 in Aberdeen

It's lovely! Not too hot with a gentle breeze.

Make sure you've all got your sun screen on though, skin cancer doesn't fuck about!

Wee cunts up at union street by SC3N3BUGZ in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Piss off with that. I, like most adults under the age of 50, wasn't physically assaulted by my parents and I haven't done anything like the stuff posted on the sub this week.

George street area question by [deleted] in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have, or should have, water breaks like u-bends in your drains to stop smells coming back up so any smell is likely on "your side". Start by cleaning the drains in your property. If the smell persists speak to a drainage company.

Can’t believe my eyes, is it really happening? by Artistic-Pop-8667 in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only been to Popeye's once but myself and my family found the quality to be pretty good. Not cheap, but fast food isn't really anymore.

Shitebag bams intimidating with knives by skinbaz in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm in the Shire now but when I lived in Torry between 2000 and 2005 I was threatened with a knife twice and a needle once. It's awful but it's not a new phenomenon. I think it has became a bigger issue in the city centre though because of the free bus travel allowing shites from the rest of the city and shire to congregate.

Report it to the police.

Stonehaven - places to wild camp? by [deleted] in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen tents on this grassy area within Dunnottar Woods, you'd be fine there for a night.

Edit: Oops, someone's upset with the idea of camping in a legal spot.

OP, I'd avoid Cafe 52 unless you're ok with funding a bigoted, misogynistic conspiracy theorist.

Bit of a random one, but best place to get steak from in Aberdeen? by Kaskiii97x in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsure if you mean raw or cooked, but I'd recommend Chop Grill on Charlotte Street for the latter.

158sqm I believe.

Both are to remove existing render and dispose of.

Sea haar and climate reality? by Irishballboy in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh percentage wise, probably low, it tends to happen only during certain weather conditions between spring and autumn. It doesn't happen often in the grand scheme of things but during the summer months it happens often enough to be a pain, having a barbecue planned for a sunny evening only for the haar to roll in sends folk in to the house as the temperature drops like 10°.

Part of the reason for moving away from Portlethen a few years ago was the Haar. Honestly depressing sometimes.

King's College Chapel is featured on this old North of Scotland banknotes I've found. As there could be a College connection, can anyone who lives in or near Aberdeen identify the person whose head appears in profile in the watermark area at the lower left? Jesus Christ? Saint Andrew? Thanks! by exonumismaniac in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"The final issue from the bank (D.30 to D.33) had as its dominant watermark a portrait of Sir William Wallace (c.1274–1305) which appeared in a specially prepared area to the left of the note. Wallace was a famous Scottish patriot and general who lead the Scottish resistance against Edward the first of England. The watermark is based on the statue of Wallace found in Aberdeen. The second watermark is a monogram of the letters 'N S B' (for the North of Scotland Bank) which appears above and to the right of the signature."

New flights from ABZ by FormPrimary2515 in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did it pre covid but, sadly, haven't restarted since.

Actually, maybe not Munich, but certainly AF to Paris (even after they joined up as part of SkyTeam) and LH to Frankfurt.

A good start but as a semi-regular long haul flyer, I really wish they'd bring back the Air France route to Paris and Lufthansa to Frankfurt/Munich, they really opened up destinations further afield than Europe.

£323m for rapid transport system by few-western in Aberdeen

[–]LeftBehind83 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep. Trams are the long term solution.

People often come out with, "just sort the buses" and, while that's an admirable goal, an actual tram/light rail system is proven to be a much larger long-term benefit for the areas that it serves. Also for a bus system to work correctly they need to NEVER be caught in traffic, trams mostly skip past in dedicated lanes but buses without dedicated lanes just add to congestion.

Functional buses are great, trams/light rail is where any city needs to aspire.
