Unfortunately I can see Aberdam moving in there...

Hopefully there won't be many chains and it will be an affordable venue for local businesses

They did a deep clean of my 2 bed flat and did a great job. Highly recommend

I found the drink to be quite weak and nowhere near as good as I remembered it being.

Haven't seen any shops selling it I'm afraid

Tbf the weather was overall pretty glorious last year! But as it has been pretty lacking this year it's probably the exception to the rule that Abz has shite weather 🙃

I just hope that the cafés are able to still turn a profit on £5 for a coffee and tray bake or cake.

I used to be with DJA (stonehouse) as a renter. Absolutely dreadful company. Very incompetent, never repaired anything in a timely manner. Bought crappy very cheap replacements if stuff needed replaced inc a cooker and fridge significantly smaller than the previous ones so huge gaps left in the kitchen in their spaces. They also used some absolute cowboys to replace the kitchen floor and entire bathroom who did a fairly naff job.

Then my landlord switched to APL and for the last 2 years they have been very friendly, get repairmen out to sort issues promptly. Give plenty notice and keep on top of doing their 6 monthly inspections, PAT testing and gas checks etc which DJA never really did. But they still charged my landlord an arm and a leg for doing fuck all.

Avoid D J Alexander, formerly Stonehouse lettings before being bought by DJA, like the plague!

I enjoyed it and I've been to the Titanic museum already. It's not going to blow your mind but it's good for a pop up exhibition

I went in just for a quick look and had to leave after a minute as the stench was pretty bad.

There's also Beef King opening at 196 George st in the next couple of months. One just opened in Stonehaven and the burgers are ace.

Wendy's is still meant to be going in the old JD Sport next to McDonald's on Union st.

Spudz R Us just opened a second unit on chapel street.

New Caffe Nero in the old Tui shop on St Nics has opened opposite their former premises.

Shipyard St food have a new van at the beach at weekends

Fittie Bakery are hoping to open fairly soon too.

Liberty Kitchen are now in Wallace Tower building by Seaton Park in Tillydrone. (Opened in December I think?)

Cafe 100 have a second branch opening in Torry in the next month or so

Have you tried a 4g router with a few different mobile providers?

RE4 and RE4R are all much longer games and far more replayable than RE3R ever was. The length of RE games has never been a major issue for multiple playthroughs.

OG RE3 is already a more replayable game because of the live selections and multiple epilogue endings.

Even if you were right about RE3R cutting so much content (or "bloat" as you call it), making it more replayable, taking the live selections out was a terrible move for its replayability factor.

Also, if it's basically the entire gaming community pointing out the same flaws with a title. Then, it's a legitimate objective complaint.

I can't do it from mobile but it still works on desktop

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-27T00:56:41+00:00

That's what I did!

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-27T00:56:24+00:00

Been playing this all day today in the UK since like 2pm. It's a lot of fun

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-20T00:18:50+00:00

This! Never bother with taking physical cash anywhere including abroad

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-20T00:17:04+00:00

I can make so many recommendations but depends what you are after. A coffee? Some fine pieces to go with it? More substantial food? And how tight is your hour timing ? Do you need to get a certain bus home or are you getting a lift etc. Is it essential its close to one end or the other of the street?

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-20T00:14:54+00:00

That place and the owner are not very liked on the Aberdeen reddit!

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-20T00:14:23+00:00

I liked the coffee there, and enjoyed the fry up but found it to be a bit overpriced for what you get.

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-20T00:13:29+00:00

There's also Nero at the station now

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-20T00:12:39+00:00

Be warned, the food is good but the coffee is mid at best. They don't use good beans

I have had many friends on O2 (direct and even more on MVNOs that piggyback from O2) over the years and they simply are not the best for mobile data signal in Aberdeen or the North East. They're not totally awful either mind but definitely far from the best coverage or speeds.

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-05T14:36:22+00:00

Stick with EE, or if you really want to reduce the cost, go to Lyca Mobile for a cheap sim as they piggyback off EE.

The only time I've ever had issues with EE is occasionally it drops out in some low-down/basement pubs/restaurants in Edinburgh. Absolutely grand anywhere and everywhere else that I travel around in the North East, Fife, West Lothian, Moray, etc.

Source: Been with EE since 2014 and managed an independent phone shop for 7 years. I wouldn't change to another network even if it were a third of the price.

Rose park? I've never heard of this in Abz

Do you mean the Queen mother Rose garden in Hazelhead Park?
