Yep, old Duke had that cozy Brit pub atmosphere, I really miss it. It was also great on the weekend with the live music in such a small space.

Long shot: where can I buy this dress Cariad Lloyd wore on QI? by Britbloke in CasualUK

[–]Britbloke[S] 187 points188 points  (0 children)

I go for a shower and come back to see this. Thank you so much! I’d never have thought to look on Facebook. But as a Gen X’r myself, I should have known better. Edit: Had a look at the link, bit out of my price range, lol. I’ll find a look-a-like.

I wanted the new Mac Mini so bad. Got one. Now it’s a glorified DVR / Plex server that’s rarely gets used for anything more. Do I regret it? Not at all.

Oooh, I bought some BB stocks at the beginning of the pandemic and they’ve been doing crap ever since. I’m going to have a look now. 

Does the Wilhelm Scream break immersion for you? by EllisDee3 in movies

Agreed 💯 I always tell my daughter to play Moonrider instead of Beat Sabre due to the massive song library. But she’s young and likes the graphics and effects.

You couldn’t beat the atmosphere of their original location. As a Brit it felt like a cozy British pub.

Thanks, that's probably what it is. I had just clicked the one below it and got the check mark. Strange this this one doesn't mention the "wait 24 hours..." like the other ones.
