First post since that result. Still f**kin' fuming. Thank you.

Hello gud c***s. I am not here to discuss football, because quite frankly, football can f**k off tbh. I was down today for Derhbruh's game against Braehead, in the Amateur Scottish cup. Braehead ended up winning 4-2, although I think a draw would've been a fairer result. We were invited back to 'De Beers' in Paisley town afterwards, where they put on pizza for the team. A great wee pub. I was hoping to find some P&B virgins in there, sadly not to be. Anyhoo, good bantz. I'm not long in from the bus after having one too many. Goodnight. Thank you.

Ha, I have no doubt that we have crossed paths on more than one occasion! I started going to the Black Dog when I chilled out a bit, and moved out to Balmedie. Would head in occasionally for a lunch and catch Soccer Saturday with the Mrs. Haven't been for a pint in Aberdeen in about 12 years now. All those heavy sessions consistently, over 15 odd years, took it's toll on me. Yeah George Street was decent, I lived just off of it for a while, drinking a lot in the Butchers Arms. Im sure I was in The Northern Bar when Aberdeen played Copenhagen and met Willie Miller and John Hewitt in Espionage that night! Precious memories again! Haha.

Ken fit, it was the Black Dog I was thinking of, not the Donview. The Abbot is one I have never been to. Never spent much time in Kincorth. Golden Tee was closest to my house because I lived in the old Buchan flats in Balnagask Circle, got a new one when they tore the old ones down. Yeah, I had a couple of mates that played in the pool league for the Ferryhill Tavern. I just dotted about all the pubs in the City because I knew a lot of folk through different ways. One of those well kent faces probably. Hung about a lot in Woodside, again, great for a pub crawl. White Horse, 612, Queens, The Crown, The Central, The Fountain. Probably missing 1 or 2 from that list. Was also known to frequent Murdos a fair bit. This has sent me down a rabbit hole of memories and found this excellent write up about pubs in Aberdeen... https://doriccolumns.wordpress.com/welcome/aberdeen-city/aberdeen-pubs/

It's utterly vile that none of the major powers are stepping in to put Netenyahu back in his box. But then again, Lebanon and Gaza have no natural resources.

The Donview was excellent for a chilled Saturday afternoon pint. Charlie's and Cul De Sac, more precious memories. I lost my (Black, not Tartan) Burberry jacket in O'Donoghues on a Christmas night out when it was located here... Aberdeen in the late 90's early 2000's had a fantastic pub and club selection, even the Housing estate pubs were excellent. I think I have been in most of them. Living in Torry for many years, you could have a fantastic night out, without crossing the bridge. The Double 2, The Golden Tee, Campbells/The 19th Hole, The White Cockade, The Rats Cellar/Victoria, The Grampian. Great times.

I think you forgot to mention Jocky Scott and then Jocky Scott, and don't forget Jim Duffy.

Amazing. Not even tagged, but yet here he is for @Cosmic Joe.

Tick tock mutha fukkkaaa!

Ken fit like. It was character building ken?

I knew the owner (I think everyone in Torry did tbf), it was a front for some unsavoury business, let's say.

Must've done this every weekend for about 12 years. I had a mentality of, if I didn't go out that weekend, I might miss the best weekend.

Utterly shite pub, but it was always heaving at the weekend.
