Off work for the second week of the school holidays to look after the kids. Taking my daughter to Pittodrie for the first time. Should be enough to put her off for life I reckon. Usual stuff during the week. Pictures, Codonas,, parks, museums stuff like that. The son however is at the tricky age of 14, all Moody and disinterested. As we all were at that age. Any suggestions?. No WUMS please.
In the nineties (while Duncan Shearer was playing) I took my two wee cousins to the dungheap while I was visiting my sick papa for a game against Dunfermline cos their dad never took them. At the time, a single ticket for a Celtic game was just under £20. Got myself and the two of them in the Merkland Road Paddock End for £8. The game was awful. My eldest daughter is almost that age - give him an iTunes voucher and leave him in peace - I find that's the only thing that works
ER - there is nothing you can do with 14 year olds in Aberdeen bar buy them drink and pray they get no one pregnant. Does he golf or anything?
dont really think its appropriate taking her to pittodrie considering the bile your lot sing every week
The thought of ER having had sex not once, but twice makes me want to spew and ****e at the same time.
There were a couple of sisters who lived in the estate on the other side of the estate with all the Newburgh streets in it round about where you're from - I'll be ****ed if I remember there names, though. They got friendly with our guitarist when they met on holiday and came to see my band when we played the Lemon Tree. I fingered the oldest one
Well its the Newburgh Estate i live in. Round there is Ashwoods, Woodcrofts, Lee Crescent, Middletons, slains, collistons, buckies, **** there's a lot. Sounds about right. Bridge of Don is like a hamster's cage, everyone has climed over everyone. Whats your band and how long ago at the lemon Tree?
I'm not gonna tell anyone the names of any band I was in on here lest they google it and post pics of me in the nineties on here That band (who were ****e, by the way, but it was my first proper band) played at the Lemon Tree in 96 I think. These lassies lived in the estate that's the other side of Jesmond Drive from the Newburgh Estate - if I mind right, there's a path opposite the Country Club that leads up around a fenced path and their (parent's) house was the first one in a cul-de-sac off that path. She was well nice, man. Her wee sister used to wear suit jackets with denims whenever I met her, if that helps.
i was in primary school in 1996 so ****ed if i would know them. Thats the collistons up that way. or the Forvies. Are you still in a band. I'm going to the Lemon Tree on Sunday. Still one of my favourite venues. Although Drakes in Dundee is catching up.
Nah - in the late nineties the last band I was in were ****ing brilliant but it was too much hassle to gig as there were only three of us playing live instruments, running sequencer programmes and playing synths (and "singing") at the same time - eventually the band became an Orbital-style duo playing electro-y type stuff. I gave it all up when I got my burd up the duff - I still fart about but nothing serious. I spend my time helping my eldest two learn the guitar. The eldest one is a natural - I could mould them into some sort of Carter Family-type affair. I'm absolutely certain that you'll know my cousins as they went to the same school as you. By the way, I take it you knew that, prior to his move to United, Jim Leighton lived in Newburgh Drive?
