AWOOOOOGA!!!!!!!!
I'd give you a click if it said "Who's afraid of the big bad AWOOGA!" and also had Fashanu on the credits

My flatmates in 2nd year at university and I
had a theory that "awooga" was a racist insult, and that John Fashanau was unaware of this.

Also, we lived on the 3rd floor opposite the Pittodrie Bar in Aberdeen (duh), and amused ourselves by shouting "AWOOGA!" out of the window at the pissheads staggering around outside, then laughed at them trying to work out where the noise had come from.

I briefly attended uni in aberdeen, my mate had a flat on king street (just above the chippy) round the corner from Union street.
His flatmate had a felt hat. when she was out one day, we filled it with spaghetti bolognaise and threw it out the window. It hit a tramp in the face

Given that we're of a similar age
then it's possible I was living nearby when this happened. Sadly I cannot claim to have been a witness to this incident, because I would have remembered.

I was there in 1992
Edit: when driving up the road to aberdeen, did you ever notice a signpost for a place called TEMPLE OF FIDDES?

I always meant to follow the directions in order to investigate but never got round to it

Ah, I was still at school then.
Just. I went to Aberdeen in 1993. The locals still spoke of the bolognaise/tramp interface in hushed, awed tones.

edit: I'm sure I was taken to the Temple of Fiddes when I was young. Sadly it's nothing like the Temple of Doom, which is how I imagined it.

that's how I'd imagined it too =(
there was a place near where I grew up though, called FINDO GASK.

it is my favourite place name

South of the City, away down the A90
Tried looking once and failed to see anything. I hear its a circle of stones though.
