I can’t fathom out why the local serial red-faced blowhard amateur design ‘experts’ (you’re exempted because we’re going for a pint, and I’m ****ed if I’m spending decent Lampie time speaking about buildings) fulminate like **** over the Marischal Square boxes (see fit I did there?), yet gush like Snuffy Ivy on the occasion of supply boat onshore leave over the big ****ing featureless glass box that is the university’s Duncan Rice Library on Bedford Road. It’s magnificent inside, like.
Did anybody else watch the documentary about the M8, only half of its urban footprint ever built, on telly during the week? Now THAT was urban vandalism.
Aberdeen, as far as I’m concerned, is neither better nor worse than most other urban settlements I’ve ever visited in Europe, and beyond. I imagine that moaners are going to moan, girners are going to girn, whingers are going to whinge, complainers are going to complain, greeting ****s are going to greet, wherever a slab is laid, concrete is mixed, and they dinna like the cooncil.
