It's a bit far for you, but the offer is always there. You would be fun to hang with!

On Saturday 25 January 2025 my wife Arianna and I visited this local gaming pub upon recommendation of her workmates. It was a wonderful first experience with food, drink, and total hangout-ability.

I went home that evening, jumped on the website, and became a member. I was immediately hooked, and hey, 10% off food and sodas will entice any Scotsman.

It's a family run business and you can tell. Additional staff used to be customers, which adds to the homely feeling of the place.

I have been back weekly for a meal hangout and to chat with whoever is around. Arianna went back together on Sunday evening for her to meet-up with a local D&D group. She is learning that game and community.

As an added bonus, this pub is everyone friendly. I may be a Christian but I will be the first to defend everyone's right to hangout together and be who they are. I am a total geek. Check me out with the Spider-man baseball top in cahoots with Doctor Doom. #SpiderMan #DoctorDoom

I'm actually glad I knew this before our retired neighbours from Bulgaria moved in a few years ago.

We may be geeks, but some of us have an interest in sports, aka sportsball.

I grew up in Scotland supporting Glasgow Rangers. When I was 15 I started writing to a pen-pal in San Francisco the same time as Channel 4 showed "American Football".

So, for me it's surreal to see the potential merging of these two great times, financially at least.

Names will never hurt him, but a little stone will!

_silkworm I'm with KoboldCoterie on this.

It's not really "comply" but rather exercising common sense. You also want to impress your girlfriend and her family. Respect them!

Pretty sure the conversation WILL come up anyway. Just don't be the conversation starter.

Which Food Bank do you work for?

Yesterday I joined Lemmings.world after being directly invited by Dominik - thank you.

My first search was for Solus Linux. Found a post, and replied. My second search was for Food Bank, which led me here. In my 25+ years of experience working for Food Bank, I have heard this type of story so many times, all true.

Recently I recorded a podcast for HPR - Hacker Public Radio on the subject of: Questions and Answers on What is a Food Bank and my 25 Year Career

Please listen / read, and feel free to send me comments & questions.

I have been running Solus on various machines since November 2016.
