Dundee



Was in Dundee Wednesday into Thursday.

Not been in years - last time 5 years ago it was a mistake.

Had my eyes shut listening to a Spoken Word & missed my Stirling stop.




It gets a hammering for 'peh', Limmy sketches & Desperate Dan.

But I was well impressed - plenty to suit an auld bhugger like me.

Best pub meal I've ever had in the Trades House bar.

6 accommodation for 3 prices.

Spent 3 glorious hours in Captain Scott's ' Discovery ' exhibition.


Don't expect Ivan, Hobo, Arabian & whoever Cammy is this week

to agree.

Visitors to cities tend to have a higher opinion than native born IMO.



Just a shame about the fact it's no longer a footballing city.

I've only been drinking in Dundee once. Can't remember the name of the pub I was in but was definitely filled with Dundee rather than United fans. I rather enjoyed getting steaming in it.

I remember scoffing at the 'Glasgow's Miles Better' thing 30+ years ago.

To regenerate a post industrial city through leisure & the arts?

Said 'what has this to do with unemployed folk in the Barios?'

Couldn't have been more wrong.

It actually brought about a lot of individual & civic pride.

And tens of thousands of jobs for folk in these areas.

Been going to Perth for years now and spent money there.

Will now do the same in Dundee.

Shared a table in the Trade House yesterday with an older couple.

Chatted to 2 young folk in the old Perth Theatre cafe this morning.

They were embarrassingly thankful when I praised their communities.

I saw and felt that in Glasgow many times myself 30 years ago.




They were

*They were


Got a fekin echo in this old laptop.

Line spacing's away to Hell as well.

Had it 6 years time to renew.

If Dundee was so great, how come Ivan was so desperate to leave? Makes you wonder

Just saw this.

Not the reason I went to Dundee but it chimes with my experience.

Lonely Planet Guide 2018 said it was the top 'Must Visit City' in Europe.

We could staff a wing with the MH fellas we've had on here since 2011.

It takes a unique mind and skill set and I salute them all.
