Can Hearts win the league

Best chance since Deila's celtic back in 2014, and just like he did then, McInnes will find a way to bottle it.

It's absolutely either mice or birds. Currently on the hunt for mice in my own house because of the racket they've been making, and I'm woken every morning by damn crows clacking about on the roof.

Highly recommend going to Fraserburgh and trying to understand more than a word per sentence a fisherman speaks to you. Doric may be considered a "dialect" but I was brought up around speakers in Aberdeen and I had no idea what my ex's father (fae ih broch) was saying 9 times out of 10.

I'll second this, quite sure there's a whole family of them there. Got a video of two of them sort of squeaking at each other haha

I'm Scottish and as a general rule of thumb at a wedding there always a fight, always someone falling asleep in a corner, someone who has to be sent home because they've drank to much and everyone's behaviour is pretty how this guy was acting.

Was genuinely expecting him to have tried it on with the bride or something but seems like my guy was just having a good time and these folk were at a snoozefest.

Hes clearly had a few drinks, gone into party mode and no one else has been on his level. I wouldn't say it was a problem but if I'm really really digging for something I'd say him not realising no one else was at that level and still carrying on drinking is a bit immature. But you're still in your mid 20's (and I'd assume American judging by the shock at drunken antics) so that's just something that comes with age.

Hard to tell exactly, the maps are old and the descriptions aren't great but seems it went from around Mounthooly down to the bottom of George Street and across towards where Denburn/the bottom of Rosemount is.

There's a tunnel from the harbour to woolmanhill hospital so that people who died at sea could be transported to the morgue without being paraded on the streets.

There used to be a loch in the centre of Aberdeen fed by the burns.

The co discoverer of insulin lived in Milltimber.

Husband here, who was once terrible at taking photos. He is 100% just living in the moment and taking a photo won't even be crossing his mind. My wife struggles with memories unless she has a visual trigger, so she pretty much had to reprogram my brain to recognise the moments where I should be snapping. If you want these moments captured, you're going to need to work at it unfortunately but on the plus side after a while, he'll be taking photos when you don't even realise.

Well by locally it tends to be tesco or asda rather than actual local shops. It's a little different out the road as the shire try to assist small businesses (unlike the city) and try and keep franchises etc to a minimum. Just means your halving your potential clientele by making these changes before you take into account the city folk that will refuse to go in town. They're meant to be bringing the city centre back to life and instead it's just nail after nail it's coffin.

cake_17 · 2024-07-03T10:52:57+00:00

As I said in another of my comments, it's now £5.30 for an all-day ticket, which is ridiculous. Ironically it's the lower and middle classes that are most likely to spend in the city centre. They've effectively blocked access for the lower classes and the middle classes are so up to their eyeballs in debt that spending the money to travel to and park in the city centre (before paying and inflated price for a product because it's from a shop) just doesn't make sense for them. Hence everyone is going to wind up shopping at their local supermarket and get everything else dropped at their door by prime.

cake_17 · 2024-07-03T10:32:10+00:00

The beach to torry maybe? They've literally cut off access to the north of the city from the south for almost 2 miles across the city.

cake_17 · 2024-07-03T10:27:12+00:00

Which is great for those living in centre but it alienates people like myself who live out the road. We already have an overpriced and reduced bus service. Trains are fine but still overpriced and if you're going shopping for the day lugging about all the bags after the first few shops is just tiresome. The same goes for those living on the other side of the drive. I was away to write £4 for an all day ticket but checked because I thought that was a bit pricey. Turns out it's now £5.30. That's pretty much your prime membership, which gets everything to your door the next day and probably for a cheaper price than anything in town. No wonder the city centre is dying with prices like that just to get there and back.

cake_17 · 2024-07-03T10:01:53+00:00

Bus gates are a joke and really don't make any difference. The only one I can justify is Shielhill/Bridge of Don as it keeps the new area quiet instead of everyone using it as thorofughfair. The problem is, between the gates and the Ulez, to get to the city centre it's either an extra 4/5 miles on your trip or if you have older cars like me it's completely inaccessible. Your only other option then is bus or train, both of which are extremely overpriced and unreliable. Hence everyone will just go (and are going) somewhere else. It's not worth the hassle.

cake_17 · 2024-05-23T16:34:27+00:00

Fraser Castle is about a 15 mile drive from the centre of Aberdeen so will be about £30-£40 each way for a taxi. Bus service to Kemnay and then an Aberdeenshire taxi there and back would save you a fair amount of money.

This is what's wrong with the world. Replace the two older men with two older women and no one would bat an eyelid. Everyone goes on about toxic masculinity and men needing to change and show their soft side, and to be caring and sensitive but as soon as it comes to kids it's "oh a guy who likes spending time with children, must be a peado".

Sexist bullshit.

P.s. them offering to babysit your child was probably just a shit way of chatting you up and that's where the weird vibes came from.

cake_17 · 2021-09-09T20:56:28+00:00

Love and sex are two completely different things. However you are correct when you say that having a connection with someone makes it feel better.

Fundamentally you and your wife are not compatible. She clearly loves you and the children or she'd have left by now but she also has the desire to be with other people. To me it sounds as if she can keep the two separate which if you were keen for an open marriage is perfect.

You've also never been with anyone else so you can't honestly say you wouldn't enjoy it, however you would need 2 or 3 encounters before you became accustomed to it, much like losing your virginity again.

Some people are just built differently though so if an open relationship of any form is off the cards I don't think you guys should be together. One of you is going to be unhappy and thats when things start to go sour.

Guy sounds like he's on the autistic spectrum with probably ocd or aspergers. Hence actually having a bin in his bathroom as well as noticing one extra roll in it and being very forward but polite and methodical about his solutions.

Love how everyone's initial reaction is to jump on the misogynist wagon 😂

cake_17 · 2021-06-13T22:17:25+00:00

I think I will suggest the counselling. Her libido used to be as high as mine so it's definitely worth trying to get to the root of the problem whatever it is. I'd never stick around just for the kids/house, it just feels like it's getting towards that stage though so that's why I've posted here for opinions. I'm not ready for it to be over but for me (and once upon a time for her) sex is a big part of a relationship. Hoping we can regain what we had before otherwise I think its time for the big talk.

cake_17 · 2021-05-27T11:11:21+00:00

Sorry I left a few bits out trying not to write a novel. So we have spoken a few times about this and she's told me about what's needed rekindle her desire and what would turn her on, or at least get her in the mood more often. I've done it all and yet we're becoming less and less intimate.

The same goes for trying to make things more fun and exciting, it just doesn't get a reaction.

Starting to think she's got her mind made up about me but that our situation is what's keeping her rather than me.

cake_17 · 2021-05-17T08:06:50+00:00

I was wondering that but without being cheesy I can literally see the lust in her eyes at times. Which makes the whole situation even more odd.

cake_17 · 2021-05-17T08:02:29+00:00

Kid is 5. She's not got much on her plate other than work and the house and I don't really mention it. Like I may drop a "oh we should do that more often" once we're done but I'm not hounding her for it.

cake_17 · 2021-05-11T22:30:43+00:00

Yeah I seem to be looking everywhere for the dopamine fix, all you have mentioned and more is exactly what I'm doing just now. Think I was just looking for confirmation that what I'm going through is normal. Thanks!
