Goldbergs!!!!!!! All I can remember about that was hanging around for hours (well it seemed like it when you wanted to go and look at toys) while my Mum and my granny went to pay their accounts. Oh and the roof terrace outside the cafe - they had loads of parrots and budgies and things in cages round the walls. I guess that must have been mid or late 60s (I can't really be that old can I?)

He, he, I did that too Instead of arguing about dishes and normal stuff like that AJ and I argue about whats better cossies or subaru's

Can't believe how busy Princess Street was in the old days. Just shows how much of an impact out of town shopping has had I'd go mad if I was in that crowd!!! Can't stand slow moving pedestrians

I am going to be sick SB & AJ

I am worried imlach is at least two years younger than me and he has seen more.

I know what the C in that cinema that became the amphitheatre stands for...

Whats worse is that I worked as a DJ at cinderellas and the ampitheatre and the electric circus (prize for anyone who remembers where that was)

imlach

WilleF: I think there are still one or two "natives" in Morningside. My uncle, a Scot, and redident in Cluny Avenue since 1972 is still regarded and an incomer and upstart by the good ladies of Morningside. He does not pass a number of tests (neither went to Mellies or the other place (but went to Winchester and Sandshurst, obviously not good enough), does not have lace curtains, and is not a regular at Morningside Cluny Church. Far too outre, poor man will never fit in.

The good ladies or Morningside - the miracle is they never seem to get any older, or else there is a constant replenishment from some factory for old ladies in tweeds and brogues...

Got this one sent to me yesterday but not so sure about number 1 and 7

SIGNS YOU'VE BEEN IN ABERDEEN TOO LONG

1. All women, no matter how ugly, look attractive. So do sheepskin rugs...
2. Every heterosexual bloke is obviously a poof
3. You wear your dull winter clothes all year round
4. When you say "Fit" your either talking about your foot or
asking "what?"
5. You have a new disease called "Chilli, Chips and Cheese
Syndrome"
6. You glare aggressively at everyone on the street
7. You own a Subaru Imprezza
8. You automatically get the urge to kill on hearing any word from the Oxford English Dictionary - emphasis on "English"
9. The world outside Aberdeen simply doesn't exist
10. A good night out is getting drunk with hundreds of blokes, having a fist fight with an ugly woman then snaffling a dodgy kebab on the way home
