Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Dundee. One city, many discoveries. The home of Jute, Jam and Journalism and the word "eh". The home of the RSS Discovery which powered Captain Scott and his crew to the Antarctic in 1902. The City that brought you the highs of Lemmings, the world’s first wireless broadcast, the infamous Niall McGinn penalty, the greetin' Arabs going doon at Dens Park, and the lows of folk getting killed when a rail bridge fell into the water a long time ago. And now, a City that has reinvented itself as one of the Seven Smartest Cities in the World (Intelligent Community Forum, 2010), a top 10 destination in Europe (Lonely Planet 2018) and the home of the culturally significant V&A at Dundee, opening in September this year. f**k that though, it’s also got a smashing variety of pubs and some horrendous nightclubs (Horrific Club Photos Thread, ad nauseum), so 2018 could be the year to get another Dundee Pub Crawl on the cards so you too can witness in real 3D Fogbeast-o-vision (©ScaryBear 2018), the delights that the Dundee punters (male, female, trans, LGBT, black, white, rich, poor) have to offer. The first outing in 2012, saw a reasonable turnout included amongst others, a fashionably late Dundeebarry, Old Man Granny Danger with his business cards, a grumpy Smiths fan and a perma-pished Tryfield (who I saw posting on here the other day so he’s not dead, yet). Much hilarity ensued on various buses around Dundee including some trolley racing at Ninewells hospital. There was another attempt to get something going in 2014 courtesy of the country-fleeing prozzie murderer Dee Man which, looking at the thread, was a bit random with pockets of folk ending up in different pubs and then trying to coordinate something through the forum. I think in modern parlance this could be called a “disaster”. Is it time to discover the delights of the Tap o' the Hull, Mennies, Rewind Dundee, Club Tropicana and Vogue in the summer (or at a push Autumn) of 2018? Emby in?

Dundee is a very progressive, left wing city (apart from banana obvs) and it welcomes all races, creeds, colours and smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ruling out teabagging or den wanking. Although if any Dee's want to head up to Dens and participate in group onanation then that's up to them.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I could well be up for this ( only to pull out at the 11th hour due to "reasons" ) Incidentally, I believe Dundee is the only Scottish city I've never been pished in. So that needs to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Sometime s on these get togethers folk decide to take in a local amateur or lower league game. It seems Dundee has such a team - they are called Dundee United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
