TeckleBooks Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Don't know how far up Dens Road you'll be but Frews and the Clep are the best two locals in the area IMO. Must be about 20 boozers within a mile's radius. Vastly differing in quality, of course, but you'll soon work out which ones to avoid. The fairly central location means you'll be able to get a growler up the road from the Vu before anyone sees you. God speed, DA Baracus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I had friends and family living there and would go through for a weekend from time to time, i think its actually alright. Pretty strangely set out and a nightmare to drive in but something pretty homely and friendly about it. Was always good for a weekend anyway, not sure how i would feel about living there after the years I've lived in Edinburgh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear with that last paragraph you've uncovered the true reason for my relocation to the City of Discovery. I am a desperate, lonely man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIEA Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Only city where they can construct entire sentences using vowels only without a trace of a consonant. Seriously have stayed over a few times and it's a sound place. Be even better when the waterfront works are finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm 22 and work in the city cooooncil. Love the city regardless of the stick it gets. Will most likely move here in next year or so spend half my week here anyways obviously will get a holiday home in Costa del Arbroath too. So many sound c***s in Dundee IMO. It's also YES city. Also never seen a Sevco top in my puff in the City most of the punters back Dundee/United which is great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever_blue Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 the only thing i have of dundee is that for a period of time between 2006-2010 everyone of a certain age looked like a member of the view whenever I visited . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I went out with a bird from Arbroath during the 80s. Her fanny stunk of fish but to be fair so did the rest of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeckleBooks Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I fear with that last paragraph you've uncovered the true reason for my relocation to the City of Discovery. I am a desperate, lonely man. An old guy in the pub I worked in as a student told me that if you ever want your hole then the Sporting Lounge in Lochee is the place to go. I'm making no bold claims about standards employed in my single days when I say we were operating in different markets and I never tested his theory.

invergowrie arab Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So what you're saying is that the 5 rings on the sign for the Olympic Suite above said boozer had a hidden meaning? A guy at work tells a tale of being invited to a wedding reception in the Olympic lounge. At some point in the night he walked into one of the bogs to find the bride fingering some other lassie in the gents. He was at pains to point out that this was nowhere near as erotic a scenario as you might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Not long moved in! I am now officially a resident of Dundee! 'Tis a braw view when you're heading in over the bridge from the South. Not many people know that the Tay is actually a man-made moat, built by Fife to keep the Dundee folk out. If you ever fancy a change for a night out, I wouldn't recommend any of the pubs over here.... either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeckleBooks Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Still, the image is in the bank now so it would be shame to waste it. Story sounds a tad apocryphal but it's a cracker so, f**k it, I'm taking it as gospel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigOutYourSoul Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Been here for 5 years now, 4 at Uni and one as a real working person. Unless fantastic job offers come a knocking I can't see myself going anywhere anytime soon. Plenty good pubs in the west end and the ferry where I spend most of my time, plenty football to watch and play and a plethora of fantastic golf courses to chose from. For the most part it's full of decent c**ts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Gonna try buy myself a flat here too next year, any recommendations on where would be best to buy? Not got much to spend at all tbh will just be buying myself and probably looking in the region 60-80k. Where'd be best for buying and then selling on after, asking everybody in work and people I know but p and b is always good for a bit of knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That budget may be pushing it a bit for the 'desirable west end' though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
