I was up there from 1992 - 1997, and loved the city and surrounding area. University was a very good one with excellent facilities teaching. Night life was decent but not as good as the likes of Edindburgh and Glasgow. Footie was cheap to get into and good entertainment and the weather although cold and windy was rarely wet. I had a great time there, but a lot might have changed in the last 12-13 years so my information may be a wee bit outdated. Takes a while to work out what the locals are saying though as they often throw a bit of "doric" in with the heavily accented English they speak.

I got a 2:1 in Neuroscience at U of Aberdeen, partied like hell in the first 2 years, but boy I had to knuckle down and work like a madman in those last 2 years. In my entire time at Aberdeen I didn't miss a single lecture. Some ****s missed lectures all the time but they were kicked out after 2 years. Uni isn't just about the **** ups etc, you grow up a lot over the course of those 3 or 4 years. I went on and bagged an MSc and a PhD as well, and my job now isn't that close to my education. Sure some of those ****s are annoying with their antics but the real students stop partying after the first year or so and knuckle down, you have to if you want to get your qualification. The ones you see on the street are fresh out of mummy and daddies house and are just experiencing freedom, just leave them alone, they'll sort themselves out. I mean, squaddies don't sit on their cots in the barracks all night mugging up on machine gunning and ballistics, no they are out on the town getting ****ed and fighting the locals...

Didn't know that ginger kid from Corrie could sing, mind you, Pimply can't play football and they play there all the time...

and worrying for the future of football. There is no way the the number of professional clubs that play in England (not to mention Scotland and Wales) can cope with the financial mess that the Premier league (and other clubs like Real Madrid) has created...

a banana skin that we would probably have slipped up on in the past. 1-0 is fine, a clean sheet for all those complaining about 3-2 wins. Winning breeds confidence and I for one prefer a real victory to a moral one...

I think so, he has an exquisite appendage...

M Gash scores for York, sounds like a bit of a **** to me...

They're gonna **** this up. aren't they?

Damn, just as well I keep those bicycle clips close at hand. COYRs!!

Oh FFS, I am listening to the delayed commentary and started celebrating after reading this. You horrible horrible ****.

Ahh that's right, thanks forgot he was PWN, don't get to hear much Saints commentary so just used to Waigo or Papa...

who's this Ndyie the Leeds guys keep mentioning?

Sounds extreme, maybe they are right...

Sounds about right, in Canada the road is full of total retards who somehow forget to drive when it gets icy, never ceases to amaze me how many idiots speed during an ice storm...

Haha nice one! We did have a record yearly snowfall 2 years ago of over 4 metres in total, but we only have about 60cms of it on the ground at the moment. Today it is -26c outside so I don't think we'll see any flurries today. Don't be embarrassed about the snow causing a standstill, one time Toronto got a light dusting and had to call in the army, they'll never live that down...

Newport County? Darlington look ****ed to be honest...

Can't believe you spastics are still arguing about this...

who gives a flying chocolate-covered **** whether it was a win or a draw, the point of this thread is to celebrate the great run we are on, either help celebrate it or don't post. WELL DONE SAINTS, you are making footie fun again.

Hmm let's see. Chelsea - bought success and their fans act like they have always been there Arsenal - Paul Davis Tottenham - Harry, Ronnie Rosenthal's hattrick Liverpool - all those jammy late winners in 84, steve staunton Birmingham - the rifle Pandiani Fulham - dull plaything of a rich guy\ Sunderland/Stoke - how dare they wear red and white stripes? Blackburn - tiny tiny ****ty team, **** place Hull - dump Wolves - the fans Bolton - no reason Pompey - every reason West Brom - ****s Cardiff - welsh ****s Watford - always knock us out the cup Boro - dump, library of a stadium, sing when yer winning attitude Derby - Mikkael Beck, playoff Sheff Wed - always hated 'em Leeds - arsehole fans Charlton - ditto Norwich - Jeremy Goss header, Robert Fleck Millwall - scum Tranmere - 4-3 Stockport - Coca Cola quarter final

If won means beat, then probably Manchester United.

You can have some of mine if you like, there is about 12 inches on the ground already...

The wind is the killer. We get about a week of -35C to -40C (wind chill already added to air temp of -20C to -25C) each year. Give me a nice clear -12 day, no wind, fire up the BBQ, put the beers into the snow and just sit and relax on the deck...

Wow got dinged for a supposed blatant homophobic remark, a bit rich really, was pretty weak, with no malice and just a joke, but if it gives some spotty mod his first hard on in a week then it's in a good cause.

I'm convinced...

After that penalty miss earlier today, Defoe must be a shoe-in...
