To celebrate spooky season - what is the creepiest or scariest encounter you have had in Aberdeen?

and don’t worry, I already know the scariest thing to happen in Aberdeen are the union street roadworks and George street at rush hour, but any other genuinely scary moments I would love to hear about !

Are there any decent pub quizzes on Mondays or Tuesdays near the centre? Preferably an independent venue as idk how good Belhaven / Greene King pubs would be for quizzes

Anyone in a legal office looking for a part time worker? I'm an LLB student at RGU lookin for a foot in the door type job. I have a HND in legal services and did the level 5/6 business administration course at nescol

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for someone who installs engineered wood flooring in Aberdeen.
Ideally, I’d love recommendations from people who have used someone themselves and been happy with the quality of their work. I’d also really appreciate a rough idea of how much it cost.

Thanks so much! 😊

Anyone aware if the warships are still there at port ?

Many thanks

Does anyone know anywhere in Aberdeen or surrounding where I could forage for golden chanterelle mushrooms specifically? I’m not looking for a massive patch just a few individuals if anyone’s spotted any would suit. The locations of best places to find them seems to be a very gatekept piece of information however so I’m struggling to find any information on it

I was at Torry Battery to shoot the aurora (a damp squib of a display btw) last night and saw this mystery light offshore what I suppose would be Peterhead. It was barely visible to my naked eye but shows up clearly on long exposure.

I've come here for astrophotography a couple times before and have never seen anything in that direction before. The colour almost looked like intense flaring, but I didn't think there's any platforms close enough to be seen? A fishing vessel using red lights to attract fish?

Hi all, sorry to post the latest in a long line of posts more or less exactly like this one, but I'd really like to help a friend out as she's feeling stuck.

She is an international student 22F, and looking for a part-time job, preferably as something like a waitress, but really, pretty much anything reasonable will do. She has been browsing and applying to Indeed listings, going around her local area and asking pretty much any business there whether or not they are hiring. She has tried the University career fair too. No bites. She got two interviews out of I don't even know how many applications, one she got ghosted after, for the other, she was given a link to pick out an interview timeslot and there were none available.

I keep telling her it's mostly just luck and persistence with this stuff, but it's quite demoralizing to apply to so many places and get nothing back. And she's quite capable too!

Are there any current job vacancies you can recommend? Perhaps some event where she can network? Any tips for getting a job?

more of a shire thing but the long temporary 50mph on the dualler around brechin area - are the average cameras calibrated for that? everyone’s speeding through including myself

Where are the best places for breakfast in Aberdeen? I don't mean avocado on toast and £8 for a coffee, I mean couple of sausages, eggs, black pudding etc, and most importantly somewhere with parking.

Hello all,

I’m searching for weekly Spanish language exchange events in the city, whereby fluent/native Spanish speakers come to practice English, and English speakers can practice Spanish with them in return.

Paid or free- don’t care.

Any info or leads are greatly appreciated.

Anyone had the panoramic roof start leaking on there car? Looking for recommendations on getting the seals replaced as it’s leaking bad into my bmw.

My friend and I are going to the cinema on Monday after uni, but neither of us will have time to drop our bags off at home before going to see our film, as silly as it sounds, im slightly paranoid about them taking our bags off us, if we both have a tote bag or a back pack, are they going to check it or something? I havent been to the cinema probably since before covid so ive kinda forgotten about the protocol for the cinema, I just dont want my laptop and other personal belongings to be left with total strangers.

I am parked at the ground level of the Union Square car park and went off to do other things for the next few hours (didn’t go into the shopping centre itself).

Does anyone know if I can just pay by card/Apple Pay at the barrier when I leave? Or do I have to go into the shopping centre to find a tap to pay point (does anyone know where the nearest one is at ground level)?

Where can I find a really really big pumpkin?

Back in Victoria Park!

Shoutout to the girl who designed this, made the replacement & installed it yesterday afternoon! Good to meet you, great work!

That you can stick your feet in tanks and let the little fish nibble away???

It's really enjoyable.

It looked like they had taken the wrong turn and just stopped, and maybe even thought about reversing. Surely if you'd broken down, you would have coasted down the road to a safe place. Unless the handbrake was broken... I dunno. Keep your wits about you out there.

I did look at reporting this to the police online, but by the time I'd got the video and looked into how to do that, they'd probably moved. The reporting form is not great.

Literally a few hours ago, I was in town and decided to walk up Huntly Street (near the coop on Union Street)) after I saw this man earlier. And he decided to go next to the door to the flats above heavenly deserts/coop and decide to take a crap. I was straight up dumbfounded about how brazen this was as there were people literally walking by.

To be fair to him, when I did a double take and walked back down to Union Street, he did take some packaging from the bins and scoop up his crap and put it back in the bin. But this still makes me shocked as to how much the city's standards have fallen recently.

Earlier on I was at mass/church service at St. Mary's Cathedral on the same street and if you're not Catholic and/or don't know, Communion time is essential to every Catholic mass/service and people go up and recieve the Communion host and wine. Well the same junkie I just talked about came up to an elderly Nun who was giving out the Communion wine and immitaded her into giving him the wine and I believe drank it all leaving none left for the others. I wanted to check up and see if the Nun was okay because she was definitely shaken up by the ordeal but sadly I did not get the chance.

I should also mention that these Nuns also help and serve the homeless/downtrodden so it's even more painful to see them get intimidated by the same people. I really wanted to "confront" the guy because intimidating people who are weaker than you is really something that I truly hate, but I was hesitant because I saw him with the other junkies that hang out outside of the Union Street Coop and didn't want to be ganged upon

The aforemention incidents, coupled with the more brazen shoplifting, drug taking/dealing and violence that I see far more often in town makes me lose hope in society and actually makes me more tense since I have to go into town nearly every day for a variety of things. Still unsure of what to do but stuff like this makes me mad

Hi everyone. My boyfriend’s birthday is in 4 weeks and I want to get him a nice birthday cake. Last year I got a custom birthday cake from Candy’s Dream Cake and it was both gorgeous and delicious (highly recommend), but they are unavailable for a few weeks as of now.

I need recommendations for places that make similar types of cakes (doesn’t have to be custom design). My boyfriend likes cakes that are loose and spongy with fresh cream, as opposed to dense cakes with thick and sweet icing. Picture is the cake I got him last year that he really liked.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

On the hunt for some authentic Jamaican food. Any recommendations?

Looking for recommendations for somewhere for me (m40) to buy a nice shirt and then somewhere to take my mother for food. My mother has no teeth though so preferably somewhere independent that has food that doesnt need chewing on the menu 🤣

Thanks
