nataliecnd Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I am so disapointed. Dundee has a lot to offer, having family who come from there I know.Good crack.Cheap drugs.Cheap girls.No need for window cleaners.Bargains all round...*shivers*I'm moving there in August................

Bass Cadet Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Dundee doesn't seem as rough as it did when I was a kid. No matter how much they do the place up though, all I'll ever remember is how scabby the place used to be.Anyway I'm an Invernesian so I couldn't care less!

jemmur Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 i can't be the only person in the world who only has positive things to say about dundee, surely?!there is (was?) that boat thing.the music scene appeals to me.my nights out there have been dogged by neds no more so than my nights out in aberdeen.the difference is a big lot of "meh" as far as i'm concerned.nearer glasgow for gigs'n stuff though, innit.

Alexandra Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I have been doing some open learning stuff out of Dundee college because Aberdeen was full up.. had to go a few times for exams.. and I have hated it. Neds by the boat load, and scary ones! One of my tutors insisted upon walking me through the college car park at 7pm because it's "not safe to walk through alone". And there's always an old lady at the bus station who stands and talks to herself and stares at people.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Banacek Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I realise that most of the people who post here are middle class tools who probably went to Gordons or Grammar (a private school with public funding to all intents and purposes) but perhaps a visit to Logie, or Sandilands, or Cummings Park would soon let you see that this city of ours has more than its fair share of deprivation.It also has more than its fair share of social problems, so I fail to see what the benefit of ripping it out of other areas is.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Ah, of course, and this map of the catchment areas clearly backs your argument up.Wow, look at the way that the catchment area snakes in and out of upmarket areas, skilfully avoiding certain areas and leaving them for Harlaw. I mean it's not like it's just a big rectangle around Grammar, is it?In other news, according to Thomas Banacek, the Grammar head teacher was spotted on the grassy knoll in Dallas in November 1963.

Paranoid Android Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Dundee is getting nicer, as the article pointed out it's regeneration has to be praised. Aberdeen is slowly degrading. I still prefer Aberdeen though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
