Has any one had any luck with contesting council tax bands, we have (finally) had our council tax letter through on the flat we are renting, it’s a band higher (F) than we were expecting and looking at the assessors portal it’s a band or two higher than every other property on the street

Anyone lost an expensive gps smartwatch maybe surfing or down at the beach- it’s a specific make tonsils have to tell me the name and brand. It’ may not be saveable but the owner will want it back.

Where might one procure the best crispy buttery/ rowie in Aberdeen and surrounding environs these days?

I only ever knew Iona Fyfe for her lovely version of Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen. But lately she’s been popping up on my newsfeed with lots of arguing and trolling going on in the comments. Upon googling it turns out she’s the rector of Aberdeen.

Can anyone explain wtf is going on?🤣

I don’t mind a bit of a walk, I’m just not sure where there is to park anywhere even kind of nearby

I get it you’ll disrupt traffic in the day time but come on… it’s 3am!! How am I supposed to sleep and go work the next day!?

Hi all! I’m a prospective international student from America who is taking a pretty hard look at attending U Aberdeen in fall of 2027. I would be studying business, specifically international business, and am just curious what the overall reputation and feel of the school is in both Aberdeen, and the UK. I’ll hopefully be touring the campus this upcoming April, but would there be enough to do for a family for a few days, and if so, what?

I’m kind of just looking for a locals/students perspective of the school, student body, and academic programs, since I’m so far away from it and don’t really know much.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, planning weekend in aberdeen, any where should check out Friday night? What bars? Any raves ?

Where should I go for a great bacon roll?
Name the venue and the price. Egg optional 🍳

Hi guys,

This seems desperate(I am actually) so I've been looking for work(part time) as a full time uni student for a while now and mostly applied to a lot of them online but it doesn't really seem to work? How do things really work here?I have some experience but looks like you can't really do much without references here.

Any advice/ criticism/ opportunities(would be grateful) are welcomed🧘‍♀️

Imagine seeing a once desolate beach front now bustling with people and thinking, nah I preferred it the way it was… I’ve even heard of people complaining to the council, I hope they don’t take this seriously….

FYI - the back section of level 4 (Scotrail levels) at College St car park has now permanently closed.

This will mean less parking for rail passengers and staff in an already busy car park.

I was browsing Instagram over the weekend and got one of those Aberdeen in the 90s / 2000s nostalgia posts. One of the places mentioned was Quasar, which triggered memories of the music that played in the area when games were on.

Does anyone happen to know what the song was as I only have a very rough memory of the melody and Shazam didn't like my terrible acapella version.

Looking for hardwood logs of 8". Anyone on here have a good supplier who charges less than £130 per cubic metre (excluding delivery)?

That is the cheapest I have found so far this year, which is quite a bit more expensive that what I paid last year (I usually order about 3m3 per winter. I realise everything is more expensive this year than last, but my budget is unfortunately the same :).

TIA

Can anybody help? I’ve booked a bulk waste collection in the city and paid the £47 fee. The council have said I have a window from tomorrow to Friday for collection.

Do you know if they let you know the night before? I just don’t want to put an old sofa and sideboards out on the street and leave it there for a week if I don’t have too? They don’t pick up the phone and the chatbot just tells me the same as the e-mail so I think I am stuck just annoying my neighbours with junk on the street which is not ideal.

Cheers

Explain to me how endless newbuild housing developments keep appearing in spite of the dire state of the local economy and stagnant used housing market?

The oil and gas industry is in continued and endless economic contraction, with no sign of this trend reversing. Notwithstanding this, large luxury 4, 5 and 6 bed homes are thrown up and bought.

Anyone else think this represents an enormous ticking time bomb?

Will the purchasers with (assumed) high loan to value mortgages be able to re-finance when required at the same rate?

I know an incredibly high number of couples relying on double oil and gas incomes to pay liabilities - this seems incredibly dangerous to me.

Thoughts on this my good people?

Just wondering - why is there no ward 113 in ARI? If it’s just for some religious superstitious reason, then they should take down 213 as well.

A lot of them are showing "engineer on site", so not for too long I hope.

A shame about the monkey puzzle tree

Hearing lots of sirens out and about and know these guys are responding to all the incidents this storm is creating. I'm scared to walk down the garden at the moment and in awe of all of them. ❤️

Any recommendations for somewhere good to eat that has at least a semi-decent amount of GF options?

And preferably good drinks too 😀

Hey folks,

I’m an international student (23M) currently out handing CVs along Union Street. I was feeling really stressed and anxious while going around looking for work and dropping off CVs, so I popped into a pub earlier today (Oct 24) to drop off my CV. I ended up having a great chat with the bartender, who kindly poured me a shot of Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey on the house!

Job hunting is really stressful, so that small act of kindness genuinely made my day and the whiskey was surprisingly good!!! :)

If you’re reading this mate, thanks again for the chat and the drink. I’ll definitely be back as a paying customer soon.

Cheers! 🥂

Edit: The Glentanar Bar on Holburn st (not the union st😬)

Has anyone seen these plushies in stock at any of the Asdas in Aberdeen? Looking to buy one for my friend ! Thanks
