Today's principal male style icons appear to be Aussie sheep shearers and/or Weird Al Jankovic. It's utterly baffling. I reckon the seed was hipsters starting to wear those 80s wire-framed glasses about a decade ago and has become an all-consuming contagion.

On the version I've seen, you can ask for hints. One for the year and one for location. I think googling stuff you've spotted in the image is fair game.

Used to have the odd lunchtime pint there when I worked at YTV. Was very much an ordinary boozer. Seems weird to have a destination food pub in that location but fair play to them for pulling it off.

I was there. IIRC, One of Inspiral Carpets behind me in the queue didn't get in because they closed the doors just as he got to the front.

Yes. I love a non-twiddly guitar solo. Will Sergeant's slashing on E&TB's Broke My Neck springs to mind, in a kind of similar vein.

If push came to shove, probably the album that means more to me than any other. Certainly the one I've listened to the most.

I liked the idiosyncratic beer selection and the student bedroom atmosphere. Sounds like the aroma is more Lynx Africa than patchouli incense now.

(Forgive me for butting in.) I've not been in since it changed hands. Judging from their insta it seems to be thriving but there appears to be a dodgy turn on almost every night.
