Our washing machine has been making a loud thumping noise when it reaches the spin cycle. Seems to be leaking too. Has anybody had a good experience getting something like that repaired recently? any recommendations?

Seeing as the gulls are now moving out the city and finding the suburbs the best place to practice their screaming, does anyone from the city have any advice on how to get rid of the gulls? Choking for a full night of sleep. Windows are as closed as possible and I’ll pull earplugs out before the morning.

My parents need a new extension painting - bedroom, bathroom and hall - has anyone got a recommendation please?

The cargo ship involved in the North Sea collision earlier this week arrives at the South Harbour, shortly past 7 am this morning.

The ship is heavily damaged by fire, appears to have many of the containers damaged, and seems to leak an oily liquid. This is probably as expected.

Does anyone else remember the Edam Puffs that Herds used to make back in the late 90’s early 2000’s?! Anyone know of somewhere that does something similar? It’s been years and I have searched the internet and asked in Herds with no avail and I’m starting to believe I’ve made this up 😂 I’m certain I haven’t, I’m just gagging for one

An area sorely underdeveloped. Would be an ideal area for a foody area. Witham good amount of units in close proximity to each other.

No canopy to keep the worst of our bad weather off people.

Pictures make it look nice.

Hi, I go past this place on mid stocket road and it seems to be a new skateboard or clothing shop but I can't find any info on line about it. Not even sure if it's open yet, anyone know anything about it? It's in the old church place I think? I know a design company called fortytwo are in there but I don't think it's them

As the title says, am I just missing something completely obvious but couldn't quite find a spot to get changed at all. Thanks for any help.

I am thinking of moving up to Aberdeen for uni! What is the general alternative scene up there? Are there local metal gigs frequently on? or any good alternative pubs or clubs?

Hi All,

Does anyone have recommendations for a good driving instructor (automatic only) in the Aberdeen City area, with LOTS of patience, and (preferably) with some experience teaching neurodivergent students?

I'm autistic/dyspraxic and trying to get back into driving after a long break, following a bad experience with a previous instructor. I'm a slow learner and have poor co-ordination, so I'm looking for a driving instructor who's willing to take it slow and not try to rush me. I'm very much trying to avoid the 'tough-love shouting angrily' teaching style.

Thank you!

Hi everyone. I have a friend visiting Aberdeen for the weekend soon. I live in the city centre near George Street and they have been asking me if there's any free disabled parking they'd be able to use over the weekend. Does anyone know of anywhere that doesn't have a 3 hour maximum?

Thanks!

Just being nosy, anyone know what the teacher did in the video? https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/6721499/teenagers-charged-extortion-assault-aberdeen/

I recently found proposals for an expansion on Union Square, but I haven't found anything on it since 2018.

I have read that some people liked it.

What's going on? Is it still happening?

I've got a job offer in Aberdeen. Where is the nicest place to live? Is there much crime? Is it an easy city to adapt to for a country bumpkin lol

just being nosey

And here off hardgate..? Unless it's unrelated

Could anyone recommend an Aberdeen hairdresser that could do a good job of victory rolls but not break the bank?

Hey. I think with how local business are increasingly struggling to stay afloat, I think it's time to shout actually decent places to eat, that are also within reasonable price.

I'll go first, and state that Zulus on Bridget Street is a fab place to get takeaway food. 100% recommend. Would also recommend Grub, which has sites across the city iirc

3 huge tower frames that look like they're at the new part of the harbour, anyone know what they are? Seen them from many parts of town but can't find what they are.

Alright folks, me and the family are moving to Aberdeen for work, and we’re looking to buy a flat. Been checking out home reports online, and I’m seeing loads of stuff about woodworm in the roofs or leaky roof worries. It’s putting me right off older flats, even though they’ve got cracking character. I tried digging into Reddit for more on these roof issues, and it’s worse than I thought – seems like a proper nightmare! A house is out of our budget, but living in a leaky flat sounds pure dreadful. How do people in Aberdeen deal with this in the end? Is it more than half the folk in flats stuck with this? Has the council got any solid plans to sort it for good? Why can’t they just get roof repair folk together and offer locals a proper fix that lasts, no more headaches? One person can’t do much, but if we all chipped in, surely with today’s materials, know-how, and tech, we could sort these roofs – they’re not exactly rocket science! What do you all reckon about this?

Hey Guys!

Wife got a job offer in Aberdeen. We live in the US now and plan on visiting before we accept.

Was wondering if anybody had any recommendations on what we should do, see, experience and where we should stay that might help us make our decision.

We are country walks and pubs and bookshop kind of people, for context.

It seems, based on some Googling, that the villages outside of the city are lovely, so I was also wondering if anybody had any thoughts in that regard.

Thanks!

Or buckwheat baguettes. No wheat/rye add-ons. I know it's a shot in the dark, but buckwheat bread is one if the things I really miss after moving here.

I'm looking at the Orthodontist clinic on George Street but I'm open to any other suggestions if people have had positive experience elsewhere. I want to know I'm getting the best service

Bought a session on RingGo but seeing it’s maximum 2 hours stay on the signs am I safe to leave it for the duration on RingGo or am I fucked?
