It closed quite a while ago. Covid was not to blame. A total lack of interest by the locals in that kind of thing is presumably the reason. Pubs still seem to be doing trade, though. I don't know what "that kind of thing" is though. I didn't have a pair of dark glasses at the time, so I didn't enter the premises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People talk in words and sentences, but to a programmer, they are just strings of characters - or just strings. There are functions to cut strings, insert sub-strings and so on. One library I use prefaces all function names with the letter "g". Sometimes I cannot remember the parameters of a function so I type into Google, for example, "How do I find the length of a gstring". And I don't get the answer I am expecting. Well, sometimes I do it just to brighten up the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was it’s too so with standing at the checkout with a pink fluffy basket full of goodies only to find your colleague, or your neighbour or your ex in the queue behind you. That said, I once found myself in a sex shop in Amsterdam. I was actually there with another MF poster. We were browsing, only to find ANOTHER MF poster in the same shop! True story. The three of us ended up having a great night. (but not like that). 😁 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all friends IRL and we all knew each other on MF too. The friend we met unexpectedly was also the BIL of the other party. The IOM, where you can, anywhere.

I know the basics (IIRC, BTW and MF of course etc) but IRL, BIL? I could take a stab at BIL ( brother in law?) but it would only be an educated guess.
