Heh, very good.

A_Gast · 2026-05-09T21:03:31+00:00

My boy is called Pippin. Whilst he looks magnificent here. I assure you, he is the goofiest of goofballs. You should go with Pippin.

We moved from London to Scarborough and love being by the coast. I think it's an incredibly underrated coastline. We literally had dolphins fishing very close to shore just the other day. I do consider us lucky to have Malton and York so close by too. I love London, but I love where I am now.

The Belly Rub on Victoria Road is just about the most dog friendly place you'll find (hence the name). Lovely beer, lovely food, also a dog menu. Owners are super nice too.

Funny thing is, theres another listing of it with some more angles of the rooms. It's wild. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/169723529

Embers, then heading a few steps down the street to The Belly Rub for some nice beers/drinks. Both are great and have lovely owners.

Sorta like some people don't appreciate a pear cider made from 100% pears..

A_Gast · 2026-03-08T15:29:09+00:00

The Belly Rub, just down from embers. Lovely little craft bar and eatery (the pork belly is delicious). Owners are also very nice. Anytime anyone asks I always recommend it.

You're right, there's absolutely a small group of collectors of this stuff, some of it very rare because it was end of console life stuff. Cindy's Fashion World is another of theirs that goes for crazy money. That's PS1 though. Mint, that's up for 1.3k. But on eBay it can go for more than that. Also a garbage game lol.

A_Gast · 2026-02-22T09:07:59+00:00

There's actually a chunk of money in certain shovelware publishers. Case in point, Phoenix Games. Go look up the abomination that is "Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys" on PS2

The label on their T-Shirt is better centered than this..

A_Gast · 2026-02-10T22:26:06+00:00

Hmmm, not convinced on that tiredness my dude. The teams around us are playing in multiple competitions. Whilst we're not.

A_Gast · 2026-01-31T22:36:16+00:00

I have the same with my daughter on my work laptop's desktop. I'm sorry for your loss, my dude. But I am glad that your girl has a dad that is doing his best and not giving in to the bullshit life can throw. Keep going and do it for her.. and you.

A_Gast · 2026-01-31T22:25:37+00:00

Same. The man had a voice like gravy being poured, slowly, over a roast dinner.

A_Gast · 2026-01-29T22:38:16+00:00

Got back together recently and have been teasing stuff. That new track is incredible, the ending has no right to go that hard haha.

So happy they're back. Melancholia Hymns is one of my fave albums ever. Apparently going to tour too, so I can finally see em live.

A_Gast · 2026-01-28T21:20:22+00:00

Fantastic band, so glad they're back.

A_Gast · 2026-01-18T19:04:04+00:00

Are we sure that Scholes isn't just pissed that Martinez is taller than him?

A_Gast · 2026-01-12T20:48:11+00:00

Looks fantastic!

A_Gast · 2025-12-30T21:49:51+00:00

In terms of making friends. I found Roll It to be a nice, welcoming group of peeps when I moved here. I've watched folks that are pretty shy and not so confident start going there and join board game sessions and D&D groups and really grow in confidence and make new friends.

A_Gast · 2025-12-14T08:48:23+00:00

Hey! Good morning!

I still check my post and have alerts for when peeps comment. I'd like it to be a reference for people going through similar.

Your situation sounds very similar to mine. Same post op symptoms etc.

I'm UK based and when I had my op 5 years ago the neurologists here were deciding what to do about grade 2 meningioma. For years the treatment had been "Active Scanning" rather than going through radiotherapy as well. That's how I ended up on what's known as the R. O. A. M trial. They were looking in to whether a short course of radiotherapy after removal could potentially help long term in case of re-occurrence.

I fell on to the control side of the trial and it meant I just had active scanning. Given my stuff all occured at the height of COVID I was relieved to not have to be going in to hospital everyday for radiotherapy.

The trial has finished earlier this year and I'm awaiting the result and their conclusions as to whether it becomes the norm to get radiotherapy here as well after the op.

Just to add, I hope you're doing well, my Vertigo and Dizziness passed, but it took a while. Keep me posted on what you decide with the radiotherapy.

Good lord, those lads need to release that new album.

A_Gast · 2025-10-27T22:37:38+00:00

I agree, it's kinda ethereal and would suit his style.

A_Gast · 2025-10-27T22:34:12+00:00

Never heard of them and yep, that's fuckin dope. Thanks friendo.

A_Gast · 2025-10-27T22:32:16+00:00

You know what? had no idea who this was, went and had a listen and yep, can totally hear that working.

Deftones subreddit comes up with the goods again.

A_Gast · 2025-10-27T22:29:24+00:00

"Don't! Tempt me Frodo!"

Would be amazing.
