  • McDonalds in Union Street.
  • borderline or abucos the pub not castros cus sum1 fucked them up already
  • That big new expensive office block on Holburn Street. Just cause it's only just finished and it would be funny.
  • QUEEN STREET POLICE STATION
  • Health Promotions in Union street. Complete waste of time! Wankers the lot of them!
  • The high-rise flats around the big roundabout by Aberdeen College, and the buildings opposite Aberdeen College
  • UGC cinema and well pretty much the entire Boulevard
  • Queen street police station
  • THE BEACH BALL ROOM
  • JJB, JBJ or anything along those lines. Bam magnet
  • torry
  • Anything granite -I know its s'posed to be the selling point of the shit-hole of a city - but lets face it - if you live here - you hate it - its dull and depressing!
  • Most of the flats beside the train tracks when you are coming in from the North are an absolute eyesore...... broken windows, graffitti everywhere and old dhite in back gardens, must give a terrible impression to our neighbours in the Highlands.
  • PALACE NIGHT CLUB, ITS VIRTUALLY FALLING DOWN, WHY NOT MAKE A BETTER BUILDING IN ITS PLACE THE FUCKIN PALACE MAKE ENUFF MONEY ANYWAY!!
  • St Nicholas House /Amadeus
  • Amadeus night club. The source of all townies and bamms. The source of all fights. The source of all one night stands.... wait a minute thats a good point... SAVE AMADEUS!
  • The whole of Aberdeen. It's not too bad when the sun comes out, but for the remaining 99% of the year, the granite adds to the general greyness and dourness of the city and it's people.
  • trinity centre with the young small, dark haired security gaurd in it as well - who flirts with every female shopper and worker in the place. Il pay a million quid to watch that building vamoosh to the ground wiht him inside.
  • Everything built by Stewart Milne (though it'll probably fall down on its own in a couple of years)
  • The horrendous St.Nicholas house.A monstrosity. All skyscrapers.An ugly blot on a beautiful city.
  • That bloody BT building. it's an eyesore. Along with Aberdeen College and the flats opposite, two massive callouses on the face of our beautiful city. Oh, and take Seaton down, too, while you've got the Thermite out.
  • Anything large from the 60's, they must have had way too much LSD to think that they were asthetically pleasing.
  • The Council offices in Broad Street. A skaters heaven, but a bloody eyesore. How did the council get planning permission for that!
  • The Wagner complex. The lift smells of peepee.
  • Harlaw Academy - little minks...
  • Pittodre, torry, tillydrone.
  • Flatten the Metro. It'd look better as a pile of rubble.
  • Amadeus, only problem is that Argus would be closed in mourning for those trapped inside at the time.
  • St. Nicholas House on Broad Street. A concrete disaster. Aberdeen College. ditto The buildings opposite Aberdeen College. ditto
  • The big ugly block of offices on broad street opposite the Marischal College. They are an eyesore.
  • Why is the Metro still standing? That place breeds violence, incest, teenage pregnancies and drugs like I've never seen.
  • Club 2000....
  • Pittodrie Stadiumm, for obvious reasons or Stewart Milne should turn it into flats.
  • Every single one in Torry
  • The Metro. Please please flatten the Metro.
  • The whole fuckin beach complex. Kill the bams and kappa slappas
  • The newish Academy Arcade - preferably with all the posers inside it still!
  • Pittodrie Stadium
  • has to be the metro.....
  • Slains Castle,please God smite it now
  • Aberdeen recently had to be oh soooo grateful for it's new shopping centre. The Academy. Well it wasn't and we're NOT. It is a disgrace. Never have I had to be subjected to such an ill designed, shtenkin (that's just Lush though), posin possy location in my life. It is crap. The shops are over priced, the shop assistants look at you as though you're the one with no qualifications and the most roomy part of the centre is the courtyard, which you guessed it has absolutely nothing in it. Just a massive expanse of concrete, which we (we being the residents of Aberdeen, yes all of us (I went door to door) thought that when summer came, summer 99 that is they would do something with it, well they didn't. So I nominate the Academy for demolishment.
  • Anything granite
  • The Council Building, I don't know who decided to put such an ugly building near such a beautiful one - Marischal College
  • beach complex
  • After spending several years planning the new development for the Beach area, all we have are buildings that look like the back of a wharehouse facing the North Sea. Flatten them now!
  • The Dutch Mill, preferably when there is a rugby crowd in.
  • Shell building at Altens.
  • St Nicholas House, the Cooncil Building.
