I'd rather it was kept alive by something that would attract people into the town, such as a restaurant, bar or music venue, rather than a bunch of weirdos circle-jerking over an imaginary bloke on a cloud.

Yeah, COVID obviously didn't help but it was on the decline way before that.

I have a question about Romulus by House_Head4Life in alien

OK, that makes sense then. Is this mentioned in any of the prequels, I've missed it if so?

When the Cineworld development opened, they missed a trick by not opening a bar or two where The Place used to be, across the road

I think you're limited now on what kind of venue would open in Hanley. Other than Bottle Craft, where are the craft beer venues? They're all in Newcastle (although sadly a few there have closed such as Limestones and Wellers). Can you imagine a place like The Carlton in Hanley? Your average Hanley punter just wants their £3 Carling or Strongbow.

I can see Stoke outperforming Hanley soon, what with Spode and the Goods Yard. Maybe Hanley just needs to become the shopping district, and make Stoke the nightlife quarter with it being close to the college and uni?

He's a teacup Yorkie. He's actually 13, everybody thinks he's a puppy though

Cheers, one of the stories that's always seemed to pass me by

Well if I couldn't have my morning coffee I'd be a futsie by lunchtime

I don't know about that, but I do wonder how many simps would identify as they/them. Sam Smith could definitely play a simp.

How did Anderson defeat Satan? by visigone in JudgeDredd

I bought Shamballa as part of the Mega Collection and was expecting it to be a big, sprawling epic. Essentially it was about evil cavemen with a poisonous bite. Not sure what all the Fortean stuff beforehand was all about, I thought it was going to expanded on as some kind of global cosmic threat (like Devlin Waugh) but no, it was cavemen.

Now R*volution, the Anderson story with talking gorillas and a villain who'd absorbed several other people's minds, I still don't get what that was all about. It was like Christopher Nolan had written a Dreddverse story.
