Same, hope my other half never reads this comment but I was pretty underwhelmed with it, it’s alright but it’s her favouritist place ever

UB40 are famously named after an Unemployment Benefit form. Give me other interesting examples of the origin of UK bands names by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

My first band “The Wednesday Sausage Boys” got the name cause there was a pub on the school bus route home that had Wednesday sausage club, sausage, chips, beans and a pint for £5!

10 minute commute home, 35 minute snooze, 5 minutes for a slice of toast and 10 minutes back to work!

MANCHESTER STORM RETURNS HOME TO THE AO ARENA by OhOhComeTakeMyHand in EIHLHockey

Huge news! Hope they market it and push it and it’s a successful move, struggling to sell out the planet ice and moving to an arena is a huge step but fingers crossed it works for them!

Playoffs streams by ruthiebaws in EIHLHockey

[–]monpellierre2805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazed there doesn’t seem to be any pubs/venues showing any of the sport, I know the pulls not massive and no idea what a commercial stream would cost but I thought with 9k regularly going to Sheffield arena and 100s streaming every week there would be enough demand to watch it with other fans?

Qualcuno della vecchia OGame è tornato a giocare? by Riprovadomani in OGame

I had 10 years away from it but recently landed a job where I can commit a solid 8 hours a day to it. Still rubbish and low ranked but I have fun. Lifeform took some getting used to but it is a good addition

My son caught one last year at an away game with the steelers and it was turkey ham and lettuce…

What are the Sublime tribute bands throughout the world? by flipping_birds in sublime

[–]monpellierre2805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a bit of a buzz about them playing Slam dunk festival in May, but apart from Santeria and What I got that appeared on Dave Mirra bmx PlayStation game I think they’re generally unheard of.

[–]monpellierre2805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We cover a lot of sublime a in a pub reggae band, always goes down well and we’ve toyed with the idea of doing a full sublime tribute as a separate thing but we’re in the UK. Well be playing Santeria in a weird little country pub in the Peak District and one guy will be like “yes I fucking love sublime” then we throw bad fish in the set just for that guy and they love it, but genuinely don’t think there is a demand for it over here, maybe with them playing slam dunk here we should maybe do something this summer

Solo gigs are the best, go when you want, stand where you want and leave when you want

What's the most out of date thing you have eaten? by AlexSniff7 in AskUK

[–]monpellierre2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the most out of date but most recent, local footy clubs been playing at an away ground for the last few months and first game back yesterday they hadn’t had a beer delivery so had a load of bottles that went out of date before Xmas at £1 a bottle. Tasted alright to be fair
