DA Baracus Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 ...as a place in which to live? I mean like pubs, things to do, how much shit costs, not getting mugged and raped etc. I stayed there for the first year of uni when I was at Abertay from 02 to 03 but I barely remember any of that (strangely I recall much of the period where I was shitfaced most nights; it's the time after that where I think my brain had the equivalent of a hard drive crash; seriously, there are whole months that are a terrifying blank in my head) and I imagine it's changed greatly since then. I ask as I'm starting a job up there soon and I'm moving up there (got a pretty sweet flat just off Dens Road). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Teckle. It's just pure teckle. I've been here 7 years and have yet to be raped or mugged so I'm also going with teckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I like the calls of teckle, but I'd appreciate specifics. Chicken Wing will (hopefully) be a regular visitor, but will have to accept being the small spoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Maynard Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Decent night out along the perh road , plenty of good boozers there, or night out in the ferry - calling both of those teckle. Lots of good Indian restaurants along said Perth road- also teckle. Lots of students with associated japes and capers - teckle No problem finding a local near where you are with lots of local worthies to while away the hours between darts tournies - teckle Visochies in the ferry for ice creams and then a fish supper from murries- teckle The fishermans pub/ the ship in the ferry- talk like a pirate teckle Could go on but I think you get my drift.

NotThePars Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Dundee's a great city. It took me a bit of time to settle in but once I was I loved it there. Perth Road is its own wee community with plenty to do and the city centre is stuffed full of decent pubs. With it being such a small city most of the best things about the place are all within walking distance of each other. Only thing that let it down was not having a cinema in the centre but if I'm not wrong they're rectifying that in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The next 10-15 years in Dundee will be fucking fantastic. I have lived here nearly my whole life and there is no doubting it was a total hole back in the late 80s and early 90s, but in the last 10 years (and in the next 10-15) it has really transformed itself.

Jamaldo Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Spend one weekend in Dundee a few years ago. Thought it was alright. Not amazing but not terrible either. Think I'd be quite happy to live there if the opportunity arose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
