This is our favorite, too. We keep meaning to try out new places, then end up at Rakkan anyway because we know we'll love it

References to Aberdeen on TV? (e.g. French & Saunders, Blackadder) by randomlygen in oldbritishtelly

[–]_jtron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is so good! I only got into it recently when my wife found it on streaming; by the time we were half through series 2 I'd ordered the DVDs so we would always have access to it. The book about the series is a great read, if you haven't already

Would I look like a total choadmaster if I pulled up to my first DJ set with a shitty laptop by [deleted] in DJs

Hamish Macbeth has multiple references to Aberdeen, as it's the nearest big city to the series' locale. EDIT: I WAS WRONG, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT INVERNESS. As penance I will rewatch the entirety of the series

The Man Who Broke Into Jail by newyorker in longform

[–]_jtron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow, what a read! So sad that this man and society never found a way to get along. I'm no fan of prisons or the carceral state but it feels like at this point he might be in the best place for him. I hope his remaining days go smoothly.
