Sensible advice? On here...

Thanks for all the replies, the quality is as variable as I expected from this forum

I'm actually trying to stay out of the pubs if possible, drinking on my own usually gets me into bother of one sort or another. Plus I need a relatively clear head while I'm here, big project go-live on Monday.

The worst part is, just to add insult to injury, all you lot down South have got Monday off while I'll be slaving away.

So the NickFitz's "walk on the beach" suggestion wins the mystery prize... one hotel bathrobe on its way, only slightly used.

My cousin worked there for a few years and he said it wasn't that bad (if you don't mind getting pissed every night)

How long have you been working for the Aberdeen Tourist Board?

Go to the Aberdeen docks area and find the roughest pub you can. In a nice Home Counties accent, order a Piña Colada.
