It's a pity that most of the pubs, filled with character, (and characters) have either closed, or been bought out and turned into bars.?.there is no resemblance.
We had loads of quaint pubs in Manchester, check out one called Tommy Ducks, coffins fashioned into tables, thousands of knickers and bras hung from the ceiling, good food and drink, all long gone.
I think a characterless Premier Inn stands on that site now.
Just watched the video, he didn't look like he wanted to be there at all.
landlords have to have a personality. His was zero. I wouldn't spend money in there if that was the atmosphere he was generating, and you have to ask how bad dopey must have been if choice was him or Mr Happy there to leave the pub to.
I remember reading an article about the couple who took it over and renovated the place. It looks nice now and they seem to be people who know how to run a pub and it's doing good business.

He is now.
He used to work at his dad's and then brother's pub..
I don't think he and his brother are very close.
Based on the few Facebook posts I've seen of his brother, he seems like a pretty decent person..
You jogged my memory.
I remember him saying he worked in a pub when I used to post on there. I'm sure he would have earned more than £2.50 an hour, I think the obsessed guest likes to exaggerate a little.
dopey was only getting paid what he was worth. just the same as his minimum wage now.

For some reason his licence doesn't allow him to drive seven and a half tonners but he'll still be getting around twenty seven grand a year which surely isn't that bad for a single bloke with no responsibilities beyond his domestic stuff?
He doesn't go to the pub or cinema or concerts or take holidays or anything really so his outlays must be pretty low and pretty predictable.

I just thought that was what passed for personality in the UK, lol..
It does appear the old man was the character and the personality of the place..
Someone posted the name of then pub years ago. It has Facebook page too.

he's earning nowhere near that. He's only recently complaining he can't afford the monthly pittance to run dogs ffs. I'd say that he is universally disliked at the depot and gets minimum hours. Do you really believe the bs that idiot spouts on dogs.

People have long memories.
As a forum owner, he had responsibility to his members. Instead, he actively encouraged, even instigated bullying and tag teaming. Allowing the three or four most odious posters ever seen on forums free run.
This was back in the day, when Dogs was a busy place....but like I say, people don't forget.

the persona known as Stooo is a strange one for sure.
Someone said a few weeks ago about him never going out with mates anywhere but
within twenty four hours he posted about going out with mates to the pub... tomorrow...
never heard anymore about it so it didn't happen then?
I mentioned twenty four hours ago? regarding his earnings not being bad seeing as he was single never went on holidays and lo and behold for the first time ever he now posts about maybe going on holiday soon!
the persona known as Stooo it's OK not doing what couples or families or others do...
I aint likely to be going on any holidays ever again!

It would seem one of his chat up lines is to ask a lady if she dyes her pubes.

While there are a few ladies with something down there, my experience is that most don't have enough, or any pubes to dye.
Of course Stoo wouldn't know that. 😉
