Food Peri peri spot !!

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm craving some solid, extra-spicy peri-peri chicken and wanting to switch things up away from Nandos

Where’s your go-to spot in Aberdeen for the best quality and flavour? I’ve heard mixed things about places like Pepe’s, Zee’s, and Zulu’s, but I’d love to hear what the locals actually recommend for a proper takeaway or sit-down meal.

Who has the juiciest chicken, best spice levels, and actual decent portion sizes/sides?

Cheers and many thanks

Help! Best vet for cats in Aberdeen?

1 Upvotes

I would like recommendations for vets specifically good with cats in Aberdeen. I am registered at Ashgrove (Belmont St) and they have been perfectly fine with my cats but I would like a second opinion on one of my cats. Preferably a vet not too far from the city centre AB25 area as the last time my cat went to the vet he got so nervous while travelling that he threw up multiple times...

His issue is that his eyes get really really gunky and there's constant yellow pus like buildup in them. We had antibiotic eye drops before but they didn't do anything really. I wouldn't know if this has been an issue since birth because I only got him 2 months ago. If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate! Thank you

Help! Guitar lessons Aberdeen?

3 Upvotes

I have googled and looked on here of course, but people are saying to avoid one person and one other good recommendation but there was not much response otherwise in the last few years on here. It’s for my son he is practicing and when he asks why it doesn’t sound right I’m not sure how to help, but want to. Older teen. Acoustic Guitar. Absolute beginner. Own instrument. Ideally would go to them,so either someone with a space or teacher from home centrally.

Good places to stay

4 Upvotes

Hello hello. I (f,36) plan to come and stay in Aberdeen with my wee girl (f,7) for a couple of nights. I'd love to get the train through and save driving but I'd also really like to stay at a nice hotel or something with easy access to the centre and the fun stuff. The dream is to have a pool and spa area but from my searching this doesnt exist within easy access? Any ideas. If not a pool, a spa, or even just a quirky place. Its been a stressful while and I want it to be a treat for both of us!

Help! Which GP closest to Rubislaw doesn’t make getting your own medical record difficult?

0 Upvotes

I’m with Great Western. Did a blood test and asked to receive the result of it (printed). They asked me to come in with an ID and fill a form to request my medical records. Then to come in again after that’s been approved to receive it, no option to post it.

3 visits and a 1 month duration to get a printout of my blood result.

Any GPs in this area that have a more straight forward system in place?

History Weird Jesus Tile, Kings Crescent

29 Upvotes

Not lived in Aberdeen for years, but during my student days was intrigued by the weird onyx Jesus tile on King's Crescent - must have walked past it a million times and never noticed it before a pal pointed it out.

Anyone know the story behind it - has been there at least 20 years, likely much longer (in some older street view images it is covered by an overgrown hedge). Wondered if it had anything to do with the former convent nearby.

What can I do in an evening in/around Aberdeen?

1 Upvotes

Hope this is OK to post here, or if there is a visitors sub I can go there as well...

I'll be visiting Aberdeen in a few weeks for a convention and staying out near the airport. I'll have some time on either end for sightseeing further afield, but may have a free evening or two during the event. Any recommendations on places to explore for a couple hours that are accessible via public transit? Nature/outdoor activities are preferred :-)

Jobs…

0 Upvotes

I know I’m probably the least needy of a job given my lack of financial duties at my age, but I am 17 and really looking for a part time job to ideally keep for the next year and a bit, to gain experience as well as some financial freedom and savings.

I’ve looked literally every corner of the internet. I’ve even Contacted individual companies rather than just hunt for postings. I already tried in person, but was redirected online; Tumbleweeds drift across my screen. This was the case last summer and early autumn.

Vacancies are extremely minimal.
Do I just wait for the summer surge of teen applicants to pass over and keep doing what I’m doing, or must I switch my methods?

Jobs Do you know of anyone hiring in Aberdeen?

0 Upvotes

Hi folks,

If you’ve noticed any jobs going about the Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire area your suggestions would be very warmly welcomed.

I’d love something that’s quite people facing and interactive, but other than that I’m not fussy. Just keen to be out and about making a living!

If you’ve noticed anything please do let me know.

Best wishes,

E

Edit: I’m already on the Facebook pages, Indeed etc. I’m hoping for more word of mouth, boots on the ground sort of suggestions if possible, but all suggestions still very welcome!

Here’s a video of JNR being arrested the other day. Have a look through the comments on Peterhead United. He’s terrified because he’s been caught with a weapon in his shorts which he tried to get his dad to take from his pockets.
