The rumour going round is that LiviLion21 is Massone himself and we're all up on the Almondvale board room big screen just now. Everyone say hi!

Just to get it in while they still exist (for potentially the next few minutes)... Que Sera Sera, Whatever will be will be. Yer still Meadowbank to me. Que Sera Sera.

Oh no! The user numbers are crashing like the club itself... 224

239 now... sounds like the official bidding for the club. If I was Massone, I'd take it in £s

Ours?! 199 users now... bring on the 200.

I went around Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Strathclyde on their Engineering open days and never had my parents there. I just got the Citylink to these places and back but if it was somewhere like England where it's the parents forking out a few thousand pounds each year then I could understand the will for them to come along. In Scotland however, if you're big and bad enough to go to uni by yourself for three to four years then you should be able to get there and have a look around by yourself without someone in your ear or you feeling pressured to ask the 'right' questions just because your parents are there. If anything, I'd probably be more likely just to shut up and ask less if mine were there. I thought the same thing when I saw all the parents walking about. Looking back on it, I think my mum rathered I went to Strathclyde rather than Aberdeen (my eventual choice) so that one decision to go by myself could have changed my life path

Absolutely. The mountains of Assynt are the classic example where the only Munroe (Ben More Assynt) is the most boring of the lot IMO. Up the monster that is Bennachie at the weekend... bring it on

(minus the old firm tops of course) Once saw a couple (from Down South, goes without saying) wander into the Nevisport shop in Fort William with walking poles both wearing (yes, wearing) a pair of crampons. Still laugh about it to this day! Needless to say we were only there for the bar up the stair

We did that in the winter in our trainers! Went to Crieff and up to the loch and just started walking (Forrest Gump style I suppose!). Cracking walk around the loch and some massive hares and plenty of deer there from what I remember. Piece of piss

Like Allota here?

Caravan / campervan drivers who won't let you overtake on single track roads for miles despite passing places being present up to every 200m ... and tourists that park on the blind corners to get out and take some photos of sheep on the roadside.

Could somebody have actually busted this thread once and for all?!!!

Runrig in Aberdeen in just over two hours... hope this bloody snow stops so I can get there though!

What doesn't help High Valleyfield's case is that Low Valleyfield (ironically) is actually quite nice as well as Culross just down the road. I went cycling through the 'country park' there when I was younger and got chased out by neds with big f**k off sticks they'd ripped off the trees because I wasn't from there. If I lived anywhere near HV then I'd write to Willie Rennie MP and demand a 20ft wall be erected around the place. They've even got their own medical centre to stop the junkies walking too far. Oakley up the road however I'd have to nominate as the slighty worse of the two. Apparently the rivalry between the two villages is rather fierce. When I was in Dunfermline, Queen Anne was one of the biggest schools in Scotland yet only two folk (it might even have been one!) went onto to do their Highers. Not going to get any better obviously as nobody can get out.

How did I know someone would pick holes out of that one. It's historically Renfrewshire before all this council boundary nonsense came around... just like Aberdeen isn't in Aberdeenshire anymore

Try Kilmacolm - an utter dive

That may explain why she's an ex

Take a point bang in the middle of Lochgelly, draw a three mile radius around it and you could nominate anywhere from that area.

I've always loved this Aberdeen song

Watched The Pianist the other night - crackin' film, with the old guy in the wheelchair getting thrown over the balcony being the most memorable bit - "Du, aus!". 9/10. In all fairness though, the German guy did ask him twice without reply. That's gotta be asking for trouble
