I lived in Aberdeen for the last four years and never had the pleasure of Jonathan Meades' litanies of adjectives. Fucking brilliant. I wish I'd seen this when I still lived there.
'In the kingdom of the bald, the man who says his roots are in the Hebrides is king'
That's so funny I almost can't laugh. It's like one of those Wildean paradoxes that are so sound you can't imagine replacing them with any other comment. Genius
The very act of making a building is energy hungry and vastly wasteful, even if the building is an eco igloo of fair-trade otter droppings, carbon neutral panda scraps, ethical vegan meat, organic yoghurt blocks, recycled slurry and bio-degradable avocado face wipe. The only truly sustainable present is one in which we do not build
God, Donald Trump is a piece of work, isn't he? "... World class security apes... 100 affordable houses. We've heard that one before... Again, there's the small print. The prole-bothies will not be built on the estate, but on nearby land worh £5m that Aberdeen has given to McDonald."
Would anyone like to sign the petition against Trumps plans for Menie Balmedie in Aberdeen. If so, then go to 38 Degrees website. You will be helping the less fortunate ones who may soon havwe no choice and have their property taken away because of Donald Trump. Thankyou.
Dont u know that Trump is a land buyer who only does these things to put houses on the land for profit & uses the media for his own benefit. Look at his website Trump Tactics. You will see that this man isnt honest. He isnt doing it for us. He has ripped of people in Mexico for millions after they made downpayments on Condos over there. None of the money was repaid , Mexican law didnt cover them. Trump and his experts knew that.
It's called "Una música brutal" and it's by Gotan Project.
Does anyone know what the piece of music used at the very beginning of the show is and also does anyone know what the two piano pieces used about twenty minutes in are? Thank you.

If Donald Trump is evaluated according to the values he espouses...he fails.
How many times has he been bailed out by the public purse?
How many of his properties decrease in value?
Don't take my word for it...check it out for yourself.
The man is a masterful weasel in that he can manouver and come back from failure. He is brilliant at managing his own image.
However, he is not a winner according to the standard of creating value and wealth. His record speaks for itself.
FAIL!

Meades should be let loose on Dundee.
Aberdeen should have told DT to go and take a dump.

The Estonians welcome the Germans with open arms to begin with to.
Dundee gets allot of flak in pub banter but self-destructive whorish stupidity isn't the most common one.
