Kim Justice has rolled into Norwich and gone on a bit of a pub crawl and gastronomic side quest if Twitter is to be believed. Barcadia is conspicuously absent. Make of this what you will.

Peter must be spending every waking hour perfecting his spoogey chips.
Over on his Discord, Patreon members lost access to their exclusive channels almost a week ago. He’s nowhere to be seen.
Reviews for the place are up. Mostly positive but then I saw Kim Justice as one of the reviews and so it seemed pretty clear most of these reviews are for people who backed it or are in the loop.
Well he said he would go there often if he was local. But then perhaps he’s not seen the prices. It’s a fair point that you can just walk in off the street and the other arcade has an entrance fee. The tokens are something I wonder about, will people just spend a few and then leave with the rest to return in the future and then possibly not, meaning there will be a lot of tokens out there in the wild.
True. He also pointed out that Barcadia seems more like a pub that has arcade machines in it rather than an arcade as such, and he referenced Retro Replay. But it did seem like he was trying to counter Dave’s subtle yet obvious disdain for it (and good on Dave for inferring what a lot of us are thinking).
i just watched it mate and didn’t notice any disdain whatsoever from dave it was just him saying that he lives hundreds of miles away so isn’t likely to go, that’s all. there was nothing remotely negative from anyone involved, because of course there wasn’t. ultimately although a lot of these so called “youtube friends” from the UK actually hate each other with a passion (not talking about dave here as i’ve zero idea who he is) they will still close ranks and defend each others endeavours in the vain (VERY vain) hopes that someday the favour will be returned.
Lets face it, there’s only so much Patreon money to go around and even less when people have to choose between paying their electric bill or supporting some grifting plank on youtube.
it’s merely because he refuses to do anything that will tarnish his reputation. simple as that. an insipid, spineless man who was complicit in the top hat/lady decade discord chat and chose to do fuck all and to report it to no-one. oh, he decried it (sort of, in much the same way as a toothless person can eat a stick of rock) way after the fact when i called him out but ultimately he and his so called pilot fish are a parasitic nuisance and do nothing but seek to perpetuate their own existence. anything that could affect that is a no-no.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he was a Mekon as well, especially when he’s someone that decided the channel name retro man cave is bad and needed to change, even though he’s a man and he has a cave.
mancave is excluding people in diverse times mate it’s a potential growth stopper so he had to change that ! maximise the chance to grift and get freebies his entire life !
I can’t bash Neil too hard for that. Trannies are going out their way to ruin everything these days, and the retro scene is infested* with the fuckers.
*BTW I don’t put Kim in this bucket because they at least have the good sense to keep their orientation out of their content.
i don’t really have anything against anyone and their sexual/sex preference mate i have a really diverse viewership BUT i do have something against people starting online witch hunts and suchlike and to be honest kim is as guilty as all shit of kicking these off at the drop of a hat, so i’ve got zero time for them any more and can’t even be arsed covering the recent “get george. AGAIN*” witch hunt that they attempted to start on twitter. *for something that had fuck all to do with me and i wasn’t even aware of until they chose to get offended about it. on twitter. as usual.
well mate sadly for the entire media/entertainment complex these 7 or so mentally ill cunts are extremely vocal on twitter and also somewhat effective at “cancelling” so if neil was cancelled he’d just go back to being a sad bastard with nothing of interest to say for himself as opposed to a sad bastard with nothing interesting to say for himself who happens to have a building full of stuff that people have sent him for free.
All I would say it watch this video, it’s very informative and explains why films etc have pandered to a very small minority of people. The media companies rely on these silly statistics providers who skew the results in favour of their agenda.
50p a go on the cabs isn’t too bad if you’re only going to have a quick go. Not sure if they listened to us on here by opening in the day (until 8pm) so kids can visit with parents? But then most kids will want some crunchy chicken burgers and chips without pizza toppings or marshmallows on them.
I like that you’ve been downvoted on the basis that 50p a go is in their view bad, or your assumptions around what children like to eat is in their view, wrong. Possibly both.
I’ll also downvote you because I follow popular opinion and need others to direct me in life.
Oh I’m so hurt, I don’t think I can go on much longer now, maybe I’ll have a kickstarter and raise money for a book 😀 But I’m amazed at someone who is running a business finds time to come over here and read all this stuff and rate it.
It’s like people have become what they hate. So many people hated Trump yet they’re about as thin skinned as he is, can’t take a bit of criticism. In the case of the Don it’s because that’s the New York way, someone calls you an ahole you call them one too. That line from Ghostbusters 2 from the mayor says it best, about treating everyone else like dirt is ever New Yorkers god given right.
i find glace cherries to be quite sickening really and there are far too many on there and that’s from someone who has a sweet tooth ! i could make a culinary suggestion but i don’t think i’ll bother as these wankers seem to actually be paying attention in a “how the fuck do we stop this from nose diving” kind of way !
yes mate or just squirt icing sugar all over the top. i know it’s the name but junk food isn’t actually supposed to be something you’d tip into the bin !
you can make your own oat milk just by straining some oats into water it’s a joke the price they charge for that stuff. same with almond milk that’s very easy to make if you’re so inclined and it’s 97% water or suchlike. the companies making that especially the boutique vegan ones must be making a fucking killing ! think of all the oats that are murdered to make this stuff it’s enough to give you nightmares 🙁
Ashens is now referencing the place in his videos, only made it a few mins into the latest one before I turned off. Basically repeating himself now, they did a dodgy can of Diet Pepsi years ago.
Now Ashens doing a video on those dessert fries might actually get me to subscribe again. But sadly it seems like my Youtube subs list it diminishing fast. Isn’t anyone capable of doing anything funny now?
i know it’s not youtube but hopefully you enjoy the content here mate ! the main reason this site exists is so that i can say what i want to say, i was on borrowed time on youtube anyway ! i think a lot of creators are having problems with 1) being unfunny cunts and 2) not being able to be funny on youtube anyway due to the rise of cancel culture etc ! i am not saying this means everything funny is offensive but people are too concerned with making sure their output pleases a certain demographic and that’s not a good idea as it’s not spontaneous although spontaneous to most youtubers means agonizing over writing unfunny drivel over 3 weeks instead of 4 :/
yes mate i have noticed that, for a long time most of the loathsome pricks like the quartering and others were refusing to use words like covid and the channel midnight’s edge (awful people, apart from andre) were basically inventing their own language to get around the plethora of words that would otherwise require to be used in their videos in order to describe the fucking topic. you need a lexicon to work these bastards out ! (or just don’t watch them, which is the option i choose to keep my blood pressure down !)
I watched a few channels like that around the time of the Last of Us 2 nonsense but unsubbed from all of them now as they were getting tiresome. Throwing the term “woke” around is just pointless.
what happened with the last of us 2 ? do you mean all the backlash towards it having a shit story, killing the best character and ultimately leaving us with nothing but a paean to virtue signalling ?
Yep. The Last of Us 2 having a bad story and trying to impart social justice and identity politics into a post-apoc world were all the weaklings who believe in that sort of stuff would be dead in months.
But also the fact the story leaked and all the things Sony did to try to stop the leak, abusing the DMCA system. Oh and the fact the access media all gave it 10/10 and Sony to this day has never disclosed the true sales numbers.
The access media has kinda done the same with the new Zelda game which I’m playing but am not loving as much as Breath of the Wild. It’s not terrible but I feel like things you could get away with in 2017 are probably looking a bit dated in 2023. Why is there’s some voice acting and then the rest of the time its text. The performance is still dogshit too.
i never understood that with the last zelda game, either do voice acting of don’t. you got the occasional bit of it but most was text. as you say it’s 2023 i think even in 2017 it was a bit much and indeed the performance is not good on a lot of stuff on the switch and a game like that is really pushing the system even if the graphics are relatively simple there’s a lot going on in terms of physics etc. i couldn’t really get into the last one i did two of the great beasts but it just failed to grab me on most levels and the weapon breaking/stamina gating stuff was a bit unforgiveable. the wind waker is still to me by far the best and most unique zelda game with proper big dungeons and the nautical theme and sailing was great.
to be honest too i think i’m one of the few who really wasn’t impressed with the first last of us game i mean it was okay but it really showed its age by the time it came to ps4 and they just released it AGAIN !? i am surprised they didn’t turn ellie’s face into that of the shovel headed monster they cast in the show ! a very weird casting choice, the ingame character can actually emote but that actress or actor or whatever it calls itself (not being discriminatory i’m just not keeping up on what it is today) was “ok” as a po faced misery guts in game of thrones but there’s no charm or spark to her for the role of ellie it was a very odd choice aside from the fact that of course it’s going to tick boxes with a certain demographic :/
The TV show was almost pointless. If it followed the game then people would like the episode but ask why it was being made. If it didn’t follow the game then people said it was just pointless filler.
Now that the first season is over the only thing they can do now is made the awful second game story. I can’t see myself watching that. I couldn’t motivate myself to play the game given the awful writing and plot.
i liked the first couple of episodes but it went rapidly downhill after that. i thought the third episode as a stand alone thing was quite good really probably the most impactful although the fence flame throwers were like lynx can/lighter affairs and i don’t forsee them keeping many people out but that episode was basically needless we don’t get anything like that in the game also i think it was episode 7 with the ellie flashback i really hate flashback episodes they waste time and are basically treading water when you want to see the story moving on. it was short enough without basing an episode on some crap dlc that pretty much no-one played. i watched the whole thing just because i’d started it and wanted to see it through but the end was very flat indeed and if they’re planning on spending 2 seasons telling the story of the last of us 2 then i’m definitely not going to bother with that. i wouldn’t even bother with one more season of it really. yet another tv zombie (well sort of) show that didn’t actually feature many zombies and was basically more of a soap opera like the walking dead. the last of us game was better and i wasn’t a major fan of that but it was more the dated mechanics than the story itself. the walking dead will always be a mystery to me as the comics were really good, all they had to do was translate them but it was an absolute snooze fest just a rubbish soap opera. the governor was pathetic in it he is a really formidable character in the comics !

The fact that this is a “vegan” bar, just stinks of a “I’m thinking about myself and my mates” kind of thing, which is not a good idea for business.
By all means, open up a food establishment and go for a “specialist” area, but when this bar is part of a “gaming establishment” your kind of implying what type of clientele you want here.
If it were up to them, they would probably discriminate against non-vegans and ban anyone who’s wearing animal products, that’s the kind of vibe you get when you offer a service, like gaming, which should be considered inclusive, but then attach something which should be a personal choice.
Having seen pictures of the place on Twitter it seems okay in terms of how they’ve fixed the place up. Although you can’t always tell from pictures. The jungle decor thing seems to have been affected by agent orange. But they seem to have some good cabs?
Slice and Dice has good reviews but this place will have a different menu. One is food for people having a fun lunch, the other is for people who are a bit drunk. Although even drunk people don’t want marshmallows on their chips.
the jungle “decor” is a fucking joke. it looks like someone sneezed, not like the work of people trying to put an indentity on the place. looks nothing like the mockups. one might even wonder where on earth the 25k actually went to… almost as if it wasn’t used for this business at all ! first it’s “we don’t need it” then it’s “we’re not opening if we don’t get it !” but then they open and it looks the same as it did in pictures before they got the money, only with some loaned, generic arcades in there. i call foul on this, in all honesty.
Good cabs? They’re alright, but who has a single Daytona cab? The photos make them look awkwardly positioned too. I suspect the space is much smaller than it initially appeared.
Well, they have Out Run which is “good”. A classic. Although as we know, these are basically being rented and will most likely be returned at some point.
Also, at this stage in their life I kinda see having classic cabs out in the wild being used to earn money to be a bad thing. A bit like using a classic car as a taxi.
at least they took my/our advice and disposed of f355 challenge or whatever it was called. that’s just not a fun racing game at all. still that line up is pretty threadbare really.
Cabs do take up a fair bit of space (I only have one upright and a cocktail one). Plus they’re on loan? how much does a decent retro cab go for now? just the Out Run PCB alone goes for £600 on ebay.
i’ve no idea mate i could never hope to afford one so never look ! to be honest i’m more than happy with emulation the logistics of me even having a cab and us getting it into the house don’t bear thinking about ! i have a bartop but i am thinking of selling it as i just got this new pc and that emulates everything i could want !
Thing is, when you played them back in the day you’d have a quick game and then move on. But when they’re free you start to realise how tiring it is standing up leaning over them.
well i wouldn’t know about that mate but yes they’re not ergonomic really and ultimately they served a purpose at the time they were “current” in that to get such powerful games happening you did need a lot of space inside for the boards, psu, speakers, crt etc but that’s just not the case now. they would have been better off with a load of custom bartops all linked by lan so if people were playing the same games they could play together (if the games permitted that of course). having an arcade is a great idea but you have to do it properly. retro replay already did. barcadia seems like a dysfunctional bar with shit food and a piss poor attempt at an arcade. don’t even get me started on the “decor”
“Gatekeeping” is such a hackneyed term that it’s basically a meme, yet it’s the perfect description of what Barcardia is attempting with its strictly vegan-only menu. NN also comes across as the gatekeeping type, lest someone else who is not part of The Circle Jerk come along and take any of the ever diminishing shekels from the YouTuber pot.
Anyone who starts a business is perfectly entitled to set out their beliefs and ethics. However they can’t then turn around and complain that footfall was low if they’ve excluded the majority of people.
A nightclub I went to years ago used to have one room open early as a sort of pre-club meeting place for drinks. They kept complaining that nobody was using it and said “use it or lose it”. They completely misunderstood that people get drunk at home first then go out to the club.
they are all like that mate. what’s more, i’ve spoken recently with a fair few people who are “friends” with all of them and they each, independently, talk shit about one another and stab each other in the back. presumably they all know this. it’s either that or they genuinenly think that people don’t talk to one another and their subterfuge has gone completely unnoticed. it hasn’t. even people in this group who’re regularly seen together genuinely have the knives out for one another. an uneasy alliance at best !
I don’t know why, but it sort of cheeses me off that some of these muppets have seen the SF2 movie already (I don’t include Quang as he’s a proper Street Fighter head and a cool dude in person too)
Well, I definitely won’t be gracing the place with my custom if I’m ever in Norwich. I’ve seen pigswill that looks far more appetizing. Plus, I also can’t stand the arsehole running it.
It wasn’t until I watched the youtube parody video earlier that I realised just how annoying he is. When he said Barcadia was going to be the best retro bar in the world I just had to chuckle.
Time will tell. But the location wasn’t great to start with, a rundown pub that’s been empty for a few years? If that was prime real-estate it would have been snapped up in no time. I can see that offering an “experience” is a valid idea, in my town we have a venue with mini golf, pool etc. These are however things you can’t easily replicate at home, but you can play arcade games. Sure, emulation and not on the real machines but there’s only one or two games where the real cab makes a huge difference, driving type games, vector games (Battle Zone etc) and lightgun.
true mate plus you can play lightgun games at home more or less, be it on an older console, a ps3 with move or using a sinden lightgun on pretty much anything. i know a lot of people don’t have this stuff but it’s pretty cheap to go for any of those options nowadays.
Nerd is so high on his own farts he probably thinks he has a better chance than most to make it a success. Just take a look at his old entrepreneurial blog.
i’m hearing that from a lot of people mate. i think launching this niche nonsense with himself as the figurehead will not help their takings.

I genuinely think these are fries covered in marshmallows and glacé cherries, as Kim Justice has tweeted that “dessert fries aren’t my thing” in reference to the Barcadia dry run. Dessert. Fries. 🥴
Given this is a partnership between NN and someone else I do wonder if these fries were his dumb idea. I’ve done some odd things in the past, Butterkist popcorn on top of ice cream (it does work), but I draw the line at putting cheese on chips.
Yeah, plus if you are going to make something called “dessert fries”, surely you’ve got to try a bit harder than just “make fries and throw some marshmallows and cherries on top”? I think the whole concept is gross, but it’s not even like they’ve tried very hard to make something innovative. It’s just lazy.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think potato is not something you associate with pudding. Unless your idea of dessert is a bag of crisps. Even potato salad is a bit hit n miss with me.
it’s the sort of wacky crap that a ferret in human form would think is just the peak of culinary irreverence and therefore is a daring and vital stab at the heart of established culinary thinking. in other words, the ravings of a man, greedy, boggle eyed prick !
The ashtray is just bizarre. Why?Are they reusing them? If they’re not, why not use cheaper paper-based alternatives?
Could they not afford crockery with the £25k?

OMG my kids could do (and has) better.
It gives the meaning “eat shit and die” a whole new meaning.
The second I saw that photo I thought cheap oven chips from Iceland, marshmallows and glacé cherries. I mean come on now, George…who wouldn’t be prepared to pay at least FUCK ALL for a smashing plate that looked like that?? I genuinely dread to see what the burgers look like.
The strange thing is if you read both the Google reviews and Trip Advisor reviews for the Slice n Dice place they’re good reviews. So why on earth would they serve up such pigswill on such an important night?
Oh and I should add that decent food doesn’t mean profits and a successful business. In my own town there’s a place selling amazing pizzas, proper rustic Italian pizza cooked in a wood powered oven. But does it do well? nope. It’s barely ever open and they even had to beg for orders for their own beer shop to stay afloat. They only took delivery orders Fri/Sat and I had one of my orders cancelled once.
there is someone involved in barcadia who isn’t involved in slice & dice. simple as that. put that fucking boggle eyed, self important dick near anything and it’s pound to get knocked down the ladder more than a few rungs. he’s a fucking twat !
I’d cut Nerd some slack and suggest it’s Dazz’s recipe, but given his “talent” he’d be incapable of such an original idea. Unless they are ripped off from somewhere.
What would I put with vegan loaded fries?
ChatGPT
There are many delicious toppings you can add to vegan loaded fries. Here are some ideas:
Vegan cheese sauce or shredded vegan cheese
Guacamole or avocado slices
Vegan sour cream or yogurt
Salsa or pico de gallo
Chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro
Vegan chili
Sautéed mushrooms and onions
Roasted vegetables like peppers and zucchini
Vegan bacon bits or tempeh bacon
Jalapeños or other spicy peppers
You can mix and match these toppings to create your own unique combination of vegan loaded fries. Enjoy!
It’ll probably be 15 quid. If you’re lucky, Barcadia *might* offer a meal deal with the loaded fries and a pint of single source organic vegan ale for 20.
Not only am I looking forward to seeing pics of the rest of the food on offer, as if it is presented as well as this then we are in for a treat BUT I am really looking forward to seeing the prices.
probably mate it’s either that or they don’t want held up at gunpoint in the area of Norwich most known for crime, particularly violent robberies and muggings !
I cant be the only one that thinks this will fail it has zero and I mean zero chance of lasting a year.
So with regards to the opening hours NN was telling people one thing and the staff where telling them something different. Sounds like he has no clue what’s going on If the prices are anything like S&D you wont get much change out of £20 for a burger and a pint
That’s the flaw with the whole thing, it is way too upmarket in its pricing. It’s a special occasion type place and given it’s a bar it won’t even be used by families as they won’t be allowed in.
well it’s because it’s being overseen by someone who knows fuck all about money as they spend their entire life poncing it off others, and also he has to continue to live in the manner to which he’s become accustomed. i think it’s pretty obvious that this bastard has been at it since day one and i’d refute anyone’s words to the contrary.
one thing that i said before about this grand opening/vip event is that they really should have invited pillars of the local community. it shows how shit eyed and short sighted they are and how caught up in their own importance they’ve become that they didn’t even consider doing so. inviting local people who could actually create a positive stir for the business is a no brainer and what any right minded business person would do. yet again the nostalgia gonk fails at the first hurdle to do anything other than feather his own nest and push his own insufferable image above all else. this isn’t about him this is meant to be a business and if this is how they plan to run it then i hope those behind the 25k will be happy to lose it as they most certainly will. oh sorry how silly of me they’ve already lost it as they’re BACKERS not INVESTORS. sigh.
indeed mate that’s the general consensus. a self obsessed, aloof wanker. he’s not even into gaming imo, he just sees it as an easy grift and has creating this pathetic low tier “personality” to lure in americans and suchlike. it’s drivel, just like all “major” uk youtubers.
Those behind the 25k lost their money the moment the mystery benefactor stepped in to get them over the line. If they were buying shares in the business you could (sort of) understand it…
no problem mate at least something amazing came out of this opening as i don’t imagine anything that took place on the night was ! it looks like a washout !
From the pictures I was it looked like a mess. Some plastic plants nailed to the walls, the cabs looked in a right state. The food looked just wrong. So it opens to the pubic in a week and NN has only told a few people about the opening hours and we still dont know the price of tokens
indeed mate they don’t want penny pinchers in there, there are at least two people involved who expect their entire existence to be funded by the ravening hordes of norwich locals who’ve been champing at the bit to play on a battered house of the dead cabinet and to eat food that looks like it came out of a wickerman’s bottom !
yes mate me too i know someone who worked at the factory for them and said i wouldn’t eat them if he told me what happened in there but i don’t care i love a rustlers !
That probably applies to most mass produced foods though. I helped my father do a few days job at a Cadburys factory once. They told my father not to worry if he dropped any nuts or bolts into the system as the magnet would fish them out. Oh and Dairy Milk is the only “pure” chocolate, the rest is a mixture of broken returns and fresh.
exactly mate i’m under no illusions that mass production of foods is often not the way we’d choose to make it ourselves but it’s all laid on for us so what can we say !?
btw mate it seems that any comment with a picture attached is now moderated, there were people posting weird/suspect images so we switched over to that but we will approve anything that’s not like a screenshot from the dark web !
yes i must confess i got confused and said economical instead of ethical with relation to the serviettes but i was just rambling and trying to remain coherent AND i just had a molar out which is fucking agony and the pain of it is dominating my entire lifestyle so i would really have been better off NOT making this video today but needs must when everyone else on youtube and elsewhere refuse to make videos about these grifting, entitled sickos !
Kim Justice has rolled into Norwich and gone on a bit of a pub crawl and gastronomic side quest if Twitter is to be believed. Barcadia is conspicuously absent. Make of this what you will.
Peter must be spending every waking hour perfecting his spoogey chips.
Over on his Discord, Patreon members lost access to their exclusive channels almost a week ago. He’s nowhere to be seen.
You’d think someone would have done a video about the place, a mini review or something. Nothing to be seen on Youtube.
maybe you’re not allowed to film such things in there ? to be honest it wouldn’t surprise me.
Well they always say “hippy” businesses are the most ruthless. Not to say PL is a hippy but he has a lot in common with them.
he’s a yippie mate like a money motivated twat who’d go to “wellness retreats” and bullshit like that. he’s a little nitwit !
I guess we’re just waiting for the organic detox fries to appear on the menu 🙂
Reviews for the place are up. Mostly positive but then I saw Kim Justice as one of the reviews and so it seemed pretty clear most of these reviews are for people who backed it or are in the loop.
A couple of more honest reviews:
https://g.co/kgs/ccvNCp
https://g.co/kgs/y7Vdmk
Another more negative review, nobody is playing the machines hmmm?

Barcadia got a mention on This Week in Retro. It was interesting to see and hear how the three guys handled it.
Neil carefully tip-toed around it.
Dave seemed unimpressed by it.
Chris prettry much ignored it.
*pretty
Neil was pretty positive actually. But the location seemed to be the issue for most of them.
Neil doesn’t have a bad word to say about anybody. Bless him.
Well he said he would go there often if he was local. But then perhaps he’s not seen the prices. It’s a fair point that you can just walk in off the street and the other arcade has an entrance fee. The tokens are something I wonder about, will people just spend a few and then leave with the rest to return in the future and then possibly not, meaning there will be a lot of tokens out there in the wild.
True. He also pointed out that Barcadia seems more like a pub that has arcade machines in it rather than an arcade as such, and he referenced Retro Replay. But it did seem like he was trying to counter Dave’s subtle yet obvious disdain for it (and good on Dave for inferring what a lot of us are thinking).
i just watched it mate and didn’t notice any disdain whatsoever from dave it was just him saying that he lives hundreds of miles away so isn’t likely to go, that’s all. there was nothing remotely negative from anyone involved, because of course there wasn’t. ultimately although a lot of these so called “youtube friends” from the UK actually hate each other with a passion (not talking about dave here as i’ve zero idea who he is) they will still close ranks and defend each others endeavours in the vain (VERY vain) hopes that someday the favour will be returned.
Lets face it, there’s only so much Patreon money to go around and even less when people have to choose between paying their electric bill or supporting some grifting plank on youtube.
it’s merely because he refuses to do anything that will tarnish his reputation. simple as that. an insipid, spineless man who was complicit in the top hat/lady decade discord chat and chose to do fuck all and to report it to no-one. oh, he decried it (sort of, in much the same way as a toothless person can eat a stick of rock) way after the fact when i called him out but ultimately he and his so called pilot fish are a parasitic nuisance and do nothing but seek to perpetuate their own existence. anything that could affect that is a no-no.
Neil was one of the first backers on Kickstarter. No idea which tier.
was there a tier called “the fence sitting, simpering arsehole” ? he’ll have been on that one.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he was a Mekon as well, especially when he’s someone that decided the channel name retro man cave is bad and needed to change, even though he’s a man and he has a cave.
mancave is excluding people in diverse times mate it’s a potential growth stopper so he had to change that ! maximise the chance to grift and get freebies his entire life !
I can’t bash Neil too hard for that. Trannies are going out their way to ruin everything these days, and the retro scene is infested* with the fuckers.
*BTW I don’t put Kim in this bucket because they at least have the good sense to keep their orientation out of their content.
i don’t really have anything against anyone and their sexual/sex preference mate i have a really diverse viewership BUT i do have something against people starting online witch hunts and suchlike and to be honest kim is as guilty as all shit of kicking these off at the drop of a hat, so i’ve got zero time for them any more and can’t even be arsed covering the recent “get george. AGAIN*” witch hunt that they attempted to start on twitter. *for something that had fuck all to do with me and i wasn’t even aware of until they chose to get offended about it. on twitter. as usual.
The only people who would get offended at man cave are the perpetually offended who never spend any money.
well mate sadly for the entire media/entertainment complex these 7 or so mentally ill cunts are extremely vocal on twitter and also somewhat effective at “cancelling” so if neil was cancelled he’d just go back to being a sad bastard with nothing of interest to say for himself as opposed to a sad bastard with nothing interesting to say for himself who happens to have a building full of stuff that people have sent him for free.
All I would say it watch this video, it’s very informative and explains why films etc have pandered to a very small minority of people. The media companies rely on these silly statistics providers who skew the results in favour of their agenda.
The comments on the article aren’t all totally positive:
https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/23534447.retro-game-arcade-barcadia-opens-old-prince-wales-pub/
Finally, we have prices on tokens, and opening times.
And confirmation that the objective measure called ‘atmosphere’ was deemed to be “great”
50p a go on the cabs isn’t too bad if you’re only going to have a quick go. Not sure if they listened to us on here by opening in the day (until 8pm) so kids can visit with parents? But then most kids will want some crunchy chicken burgers and chips without pizza toppings or marshmallows on them.
I like that you’ve been downvoted on the basis that 50p a go is in their view bad, or your assumptions around what children like to eat is in their view, wrong. Possibly both.
I’ll also downvote you because I follow popular opinion and need others to direct me in life.
Oh I’m so hurt, I don’t think I can go on much longer now, maybe I’ll have a kickstarter and raise money for a book 😀 But I’m amazed at someone who is running a business finds time to come over here and read all this stuff and rate it.
And I just downvoted my own post.
that’s the way to do it mate a bit of self deprecation !
everyone these days is a really billy bighead !
It’s like people have become what they hate. So many people hated Trump yet they’re about as thin skinned as he is, can’t take a bit of criticism. In the case of the Don it’s because that’s the New York way, someone calls you an ahole you call them one too. That line from Ghostbusters 2 from the mayor says it best, about treating everyone else like dirt is ever New Yorkers god given right.
Oh but look at all the great reviews suddenly on Google, mostly from circle members.
Looks like the loaded fries have been tweaked a bit (source: twitter.com/wils_2k)
i find glace cherries to be quite sickening really and there are far too many on there and that’s from someone who has a sweet tooth ! i could make a culinary suggestion but i don’t think i’ll bother as these wankers seem to actually be paying attention in a “how the fuck do we stop this from nose diving” kind of way !
Why not throw in some marzipan and avacado for the sake of it too.
yes mate or just squirt icing sugar all over the top. i know it’s the name but junk food isn’t actually supposed to be something you’d tip into the bin !
I read in the press today that sales of all this vegan stuff is down quite a lot. Oak milk especially.
you can make your own oat milk just by straining some oats into water it’s a joke the price they charge for that stuff. same with almond milk that’s very easy to make if you’re so inclined and it’s 97% water or suchlike. the companies making that especially the boutique vegan ones must be making a fucking killing ! think of all the oats that are murdered to make this stuff it’s enough to give you nightmares 🙁
That’s the thing with a lot of vegan stuff, it’s worse for the environment if it has to be shipped halfway around the world.
Some people can make their own nut milk too, but I wouldn’t recommend trying it.
Squirrel shit is vegan, there’s a hazelnut in every bite.
I was quite taken by the cat sick drizzled over the top of this particular example.
Ashens is now referencing the place in his videos, only made it a few mins into the latest one before I turned off. Basically repeating himself now, they did a dodgy can of Diet Pepsi years ago.
That dodgy old Pepsi still looks more appetising than those loaded fries
Now Ashens doing a video on those dessert fries might actually get me to subscribe again. But sadly it seems like my Youtube subs list it diminishing fast. Isn’t anyone capable of doing anything funny now?
i know it’s not youtube but hopefully you enjoy the content here mate ! the main reason this site exists is so that i can say what i want to say, i was on borrowed time on youtube anyway ! i think a lot of creators are having problems with 1) being unfunny cunts and 2) not being able to be funny on youtube anyway due to the rise of cancel culture etc ! i am not saying this means everything funny is offensive but people are too concerned with making sure their output pleases a certain demographic and that’s not a good idea as it’s not spontaneous although spontaneous to most youtubers means agonizing over writing unfunny drivel over 3 weeks instead of 4 :/
Oh I certainly do. The chat with Simon especially. That was great to listen to while I was building my 3D printer (it’s done now).
Every site seems to let advertisers control what people can say now. Sometimes the words you can’t use are even words in the content you just watched.
yes mate i have noticed that, for a long time most of the loathsome pricks like the quartering and others were refusing to use words like covid and the channel midnight’s edge (awful people, apart from andre) were basically inventing their own language to get around the plethora of words that would otherwise require to be used in their videos in order to describe the fucking topic. you need a lexicon to work these bastards out ! (or just don’t watch them, which is the option i choose to keep my blood pressure down !)
I watched a few channels like that around the time of the Last of Us 2 nonsense but unsubbed from all of them now as they were getting tiresome. Throwing the term “woke” around is just pointless.
what happened with the last of us 2 ? do you mean all the backlash towards it having a shit story, killing the best character and ultimately leaving us with nothing but a paean to virtue signalling ?
There’s a better “w” word than “woke” to describe those sorts of people.
Yep. The Last of Us 2 having a bad story and trying to impart social justice and identity politics into a post-apoc world were all the weaklings who believe in that sort of stuff would be dead in months.
But also the fact the story leaked and all the things Sony did to try to stop the leak, abusing the DMCA system. Oh and the fact the access media all gave it 10/10 and Sony to this day has never disclosed the true sales numbers.
The access media has kinda done the same with the new Zelda game which I’m playing but am not loving as much as Breath of the Wild. It’s not terrible but I feel like things you could get away with in 2017 are probably looking a bit dated in 2023. Why is there’s some voice acting and then the rest of the time its text. The performance is still dogshit too.
i never understood that with the last zelda game, either do voice acting of don’t. you got the occasional bit of it but most was text. as you say it’s 2023 i think even in 2017 it was a bit much and indeed the performance is not good on a lot of stuff on the switch and a game like that is really pushing the system even if the graphics are relatively simple there’s a lot going on in terms of physics etc. i couldn’t really get into the last one i did two of the great beasts but it just failed to grab me on most levels and the weapon breaking/stamina gating stuff was a bit unforgiveable. the wind waker is still to me by far the best and most unique zelda game with proper big dungeons and the nautical theme and sailing was great.
to be honest too i think i’m one of the few who really wasn’t impressed with the first last of us game i mean it was okay but it really showed its age by the time it came to ps4 and they just released it AGAIN !? i am surprised they didn’t turn ellie’s face into that of the shovel headed monster they cast in the show ! a very weird casting choice, the ingame character can actually emote but that actress or actor or whatever it calls itself (not being discriminatory i’m just not keeping up on what it is today) was “ok” as a po faced misery guts in game of thrones but there’s no charm or spark to her for the role of ellie it was a very odd choice aside from the fact that of course it’s going to tick boxes with a certain demographic :/
The TV show was almost pointless. If it followed the game then people would like the episode but ask why it was being made. If it didn’t follow the game then people said it was just pointless filler.
Now that the first season is over the only thing they can do now is made the awful second game story. I can’t see myself watching that. I couldn’t motivate myself to play the game given the awful writing and plot.
i liked the first couple of episodes but it went rapidly downhill after that. i thought the third episode as a stand alone thing was quite good really probably the most impactful although the fence flame throwers were like lynx can/lighter affairs and i don’t forsee them keeping many people out but that episode was basically needless we don’t get anything like that in the game also i think it was episode 7 with the ellie flashback i really hate flashback episodes they waste time and are basically treading water when you want to see the story moving on. it was short enough without basing an episode on some crap dlc that pretty much no-one played. i watched the whole thing just because i’d started it and wanted to see it through but the end was very flat indeed and if they’re planning on spending 2 seasons telling the story of the last of us 2 then i’m definitely not going to bother with that. i wouldn’t even bother with one more season of it really. yet another tv zombie (well sort of) show that didn’t actually feature many zombies and was basically more of a soap opera like the walking dead. the last of us game was better and i wasn’t a major fan of that but it was more the dated mechanics than the story itself. the walking dead will always be a mystery to me as the comics were really good, all they had to do was translate them but it was an absolute snooze fest just a rubbish soap opera. the governor was pathetic in it he is a really formidable character in the comics !
The fact that this is a “vegan” bar, just stinks of a “I’m thinking about myself and my mates” kind of thing, which is not a good idea for business.
By all means, open up a food establishment and go for a “specialist” area, but when this bar is part of a “gaming establishment” your kind of implying what type of clientele you want here.
If it were up to them, they would probably discriminate against non-vegans and ban anyone who’s wearing animal products, that’s the kind of vibe you get when you offer a service, like gaming, which should be considered inclusive, but then attach something which should be a personal choice.
Having seen pictures of the place on Twitter it seems okay in terms of how they’ve fixed the place up. Although you can’t always tell from pictures. The jungle decor thing seems to have been affected by agent orange. But they seem to have some good cabs?
Slice and Dice has good reviews but this place will have a different menu. One is food for people having a fun lunch, the other is for people who are a bit drunk. Although even drunk people don’t want marshmallows on their chips.
the jungle “decor” is a fucking joke. it looks like someone sneezed, not like the work of people trying to put an indentity on the place. looks nothing like the mockups. one might even wonder where on earth the 25k actually went to… almost as if it wasn’t used for this business at all ! first it’s “we don’t need it” then it’s “we’re not opening if we don’t get it !” but then they open and it looks the same as it did in pictures before they got the money, only with some loaned, generic arcades in there. i call foul on this, in all honesty.
They could have at least painted the walls jungle green. That would make the 10 quid’s worth of plastic vines from Poundland look a lot less scabby.
Good cabs? They’re alright, but who has a single Daytona cab? The photos make them look awkwardly positioned too. I suspect the space is much smaller than it initially appeared.
Well, they have Out Run which is “good”. A classic. Although as we know, these are basically being rented and will most likely be returned at some point.
Also, at this stage in their life I kinda see having classic cabs out in the wild being used to earn money to be a bad thing. A bit like using a classic car as a taxi.
i didn’t know they had outrun, i thought they just had that ferrari f355 game which isn’t much fun, very dry for an arcade racer
Looking at the pics Kim Justice put on Twitter they have:
Asteroids, Centipede, Burger Time, Mortal Kombat, Out Run, Xybots, Frogger, Marvel vs Capcom, Ghosts n Goblins, House of the Dead.
One of the other machines is busted already, but that’s to be expected from such old machines, usually the CRT or PSU that gives up.
at least they took my/our advice and disposed of f355 challenge or whatever it was called. that’s just not a fun racing game at all. still that line up is pretty threadbare really.
Cabs do take up a fair bit of space (I only have one upright and a cocktail one). Plus they’re on loan? how much does a decent retro cab go for now? just the Out Run PCB alone goes for £600 on ebay.
i’ve no idea mate i could never hope to afford one so never look ! to be honest i’m more than happy with emulation the logistics of me even having a cab and us getting it into the house don’t bear thinking about ! i have a bartop but i am thinking of selling it as i just got this new pc and that emulates everything i could want !
Thing is, when you played them back in the day you’d have a quick game and then move on. But when they’re free you start to realise how tiring it is standing up leaning over them.
well i wouldn’t know about that mate but yes they’re not ergonomic really and ultimately they served a purpose at the time they were “current” in that to get such powerful games happening you did need a lot of space inside for the boards, psu, speakers, crt etc but that’s just not the case now. they would have been better off with a load of custom bartops all linked by lan so if people were playing the same games they could play together (if the games permitted that of course). having an arcade is a great idea but you have to do it properly. retro replay already did. barcadia seems like a dysfunctional bar with shit food and a piss poor attempt at an arcade. don’t even get me started on the “decor”
“Gatekeeping” is such a hackneyed term that it’s basically a meme, yet it’s the perfect description of what Barcardia is attempting with its strictly vegan-only menu. NN also comes across as the gatekeeping type, lest someone else who is not part of The Circle Jerk come along and take any of the ever diminishing shekels from the YouTuber pot.
Anyone who starts a business is perfectly entitled to set out their beliefs and ethics. However they can’t then turn around and complain that footfall was low if they’ve excluded the majority of people.
A nightclub I went to years ago used to have one room open early as a sort of pre-club meeting place for drinks. They kept complaining that nobody was using it and said “use it or lose it”. They completely misunderstood that people get drunk at home first then go out to the club.
they are all like that mate. what’s more, i’ve spoken recently with a fair few people who are “friends” with all of them and they each, independently, talk shit about one another and stab each other in the back. presumably they all know this. it’s either that or they genuinenly think that people don’t talk to one another and their subterfuge has gone completely unnoticed. it hasn’t. even people in this group who’re regularly seen together genuinely have the knives out for one another. an uneasy alliance at best !
I don’t know why, but it sort of cheeses me off that some of these muppets have seen the SF2 movie already (I don’t include Quang as he’s a proper Street Fighter head and a cool dude in person too)
have they got a time machine ? the street fighter film hasn’t even started filming yet, has it ? 😮
Sorry. The ‘here comes a new challenger ‘ kickstarter.
the whole thing is by and for arseholes.
I’m going to start up my own arcade bar but the kitchen will only produce food beginning with the letter K.
And the launch party will only be mates and people who are prepared to listen to me rattle on about how hard I’ve worked.
No children. And all pets are welcome. For a fee. Unless they’re prepared to listen to me rattle on about how busy I’ve been.
Does ketamine count as a food?
Pets on Ket. A good name for a band or a niche barcade.
joffa would argue yes
Speaking of cum: am I seeing this wrong, or did they (unevenly)sprinkle sesame seeds over this… creation?
i think they might be vegan winnits mate ? or crushed up cereal bar or something ? it’s fucking disgusting whatever it is !
Holy shit! Are those marshmallows? LOL Jesus christ…
oh yes mate, these are DESSERT FRIES :-/
Well, I definitely won’t be gracing the place with my custom if I’m ever in Norwich. I’ve seen pigswill that looks far more appetizing. Plus, I also can’t stand the arsehole running it.
It wasn’t until I watched the youtube parody video earlier that I realised just how annoying he is. When he said Barcadia was going to be the best retro bar in the world I just had to chuckle.
such a twat mate. “barcadia is going to be the best chance we have to get 25k from you mugs for ‘other purposes'” is probably more like it !
Time will tell. But the location wasn’t great to start with, a rundown pub that’s been empty for a few years? If that was prime real-estate it would have been snapped up in no time. I can see that offering an “experience” is a valid idea, in my town we have a venue with mini golf, pool etc. These are however things you can’t easily replicate at home, but you can play arcade games. Sure, emulation and not on the real machines but there’s only one or two games where the real cab makes a huge difference, driving type games, vector games (Battle Zone etc) and lightgun.
true mate plus you can play lightgun games at home more or less, be it on an older console, a ps3 with move or using a sinden lightgun on pretty much anything. i know a lot of people don’t have this stuff but it’s pretty cheap to go for any of those options nowadays.
Nerd is so high on his own farts he probably thinks he has a better chance than most to make it a success. Just take a look at his old entrepreneurial blog.
I can just see him doing a Gareth Cheeseman. “You’re a tiger……raaaaaaaaaar”.
i’m hearing that from a lot of people mate. i think launching this niche nonsense with himself as the figurehead will not help their takings.
I genuinely think these are fries covered in marshmallows and glacé cherries, as Kim Justice has tweeted that “dessert fries aren’t my thing” in reference to the Barcadia dry run. Dessert. Fries. 🥴
Dessert fries?
WTF
Never in a million years when eating chips or fries have I ever thought ‘these really need to be mixed with a dessert’.
Given this is a partnership between NN and someone else I do wonder if these fries were his dumb idea. I’ve done some odd things in the past, Butterkist popcorn on top of ice cream (it does work), but I draw the line at putting cheese on chips.
Yeah, plus if you are going to make something called “dessert fries”, surely you’ve got to try a bit harder than just “make fries and throw some marshmallows and cherries on top”? I think the whole concept is gross, but it’s not even like they’ve tried very hard to make something innovative. It’s just lazy.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think potato is not something you associate with pudding. Unless your idea of dessert is a bag of crisps. Even potato salad is a bit hit n miss with me.
i agree mate it sounds disgusting and a waste of everyone’s time !
it’s the sort of wacky crap that a ferret in human form would think is just the peak of culinary irreverence and therefore is a daring and vital stab at the heart of established culinary thinking. in other words, the ravings of a man, greedy, boggle eyed prick !
Maybe he thinks weird food is “retro”. After all, we had Hedgehog crisps in the 80s.
popcorn on ice cream sounds perfectly acceptable mate. this monstrosity does not !
Try it. But it has to be Butterkist toffee popcorn. I hate cinema style popcorn.
i don’t mind it but yes i sense it would be much better with butterkist or maybe even kettle poppins if you are from monied stock ! (i am not lol)
Just be thankful they’re not desert fries, those would have sand on them.
Sand would probably be an improvement tbh
wow kim justice in refusing food shocker !
They served it in a camp site ash tray with glaced cherries, it’s put me off my roast beef lunch i’m about to eat.
A few fag butts would probably improve how it tastes.
It would certainly improve the presentation for sure
Looking at it reminds me of this picture where you can’t make anything out https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/bghyv5/this_picture_is_designed_to_give_the_viewer_the/
The ashtray is just bizarre. Why?Are they reusing them? If they’re not, why not use cheaper paper-based alternatives?
Could they not afford crockery with the £25k?
OMG my kids could do (and has) better.
It gives the meaning “eat shit and die” a whole new meaning.
Well they did say it was “vegan junk food”.
fit for the bin, god alone knows who’d be happy paying through the nose for that “junk”
Well, the fries are £5 at Slice n Dice. But that’s without all the random cake toppings thrown on top.
The second I saw that photo I thought cheap oven chips from Iceland, marshmallows and glacé cherries. I mean come on now, George…who wouldn’t be prepared to pay at least FUCK ALL for a smashing plate that looked like that?? I genuinely dread to see what the burgers look like.
Vegan marshmallows, as the usual ones have beef gelatine in them. That adds £10 to the cost lol
The grift that keeps on giving (or taking as the case may be)
The strange thing is if you read both the Google reviews and Trip Advisor reviews for the Slice n Dice place they’re good reviews. So why on earth would they serve up such pigswill on such an important night?
Oh and I should add that decent food doesn’t mean profits and a successful business. In my own town there’s a place selling amazing pizzas, proper rustic Italian pizza cooked in a wood powered oven. But does it do well? nope. It’s barely ever open and they even had to beg for orders for their own beer shop to stay afloat. They only took delivery orders Fri/Sat and I had one of my orders cancelled once.
there is someone involved in barcadia who isn’t involved in slice & dice. simple as that. put that fucking boggle eyed, self important dick near anything and it’s pound to get knocked down the ladder more than a few rungs. he’s a fucking twat !
Maybe Peter asked Ashens to taste the food and provide feedback 🙂
I’d cut Nerd some slack and suggest it’s Dazz’s recipe, but given his “talent” he’d be incapable of such an original idea. Unless they are ripped off from somewhere.
Even ChatGPT doesn’t manage to fuck it up.
What would I put with vegan loaded fries?
ChatGPT
There are many delicious toppings you can add to vegan loaded fries. Here are some ideas:
Vegan cheese sauce or shredded vegan cheese
Guacamole or avocado slices
Vegan sour cream or yogurt
Salsa or pico de gallo
Chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro
Vegan chili
Sautéed mushrooms and onions
Roasted vegetables like peppers and zucchini
Vegan bacon bits or tempeh bacon
Jalapeños or other spicy peppers
You can mix and match these toppings to create your own unique combination of vegan loaded fries. Enjoy!
yes they all sound okay and i don’t see glace cherries or marshmallows mentioned once
Good Grief, that’s worse than the slop the works canteen serves up.
Barfcadia is a more apt title for this absolute disaster in the making.
I know some places serve “dirty fries” but those look like they’ve been fished out of a dustbin.
dirty fries are indeed a very different thing to scruffy as hell fries !
Ah, we’ve guessed what they’ll be called on the menu now…..Catweasel loaded fries 😀
indeed mate it doesn’t look nice at all and i bet it’s not cheap !
It’ll probably be 15 quid. If you’re lucky, Barcadia *might* offer a meal deal with the loaded fries and a pint of single source organic vegan ale for 20.
Not only am I looking forward to seeing pics of the rest of the food on offer, as if it is presented as well as this then we are in for a treat BUT I am really looking forward to seeing the prices.
Comparable to Slice and Dice I’d imagine, burgers from £13-18. £14 for Burrito. Drinks seem more reasonable.
Oh and card/contactless payments only, no cash. Perhaps they can’t count out change?
Those new plastic bank notes are not vegan ! , so that might be why its cashless
probably mate it’s either that or they don’t want held up at gunpoint in the area of Norwich most known for crime, particularly violent robberies and muggings !
Still, with cash not allowed they can’t do any accounting tricks. Probably why the other place needed a cash injection.
no cash is the cowards way of saying “please, i beg of you, don’t rob us ! there’s nothing here !”.
Bit of a contradiction to be cashless but handling tokens for the machine.
prices are a secret mate along with opening hours and the price of tokens.
I cant be the only one that thinks this will fail it has zero and I mean zero chance of lasting a year.
So with regards to the opening hours NN was telling people one thing and the staff where telling them something different. Sounds like he has no clue what’s going on If the prices are anything like S&D you wont get much change out of £20 for a burger and a pint
That’s the flaw with the whole thing, it is way too upmarket in its pricing. It’s a special occasion type place and given it’s a bar it won’t even be used by families as they won’t be allowed in.
well it’s because it’s being overseen by someone who knows fuck all about money as they spend their entire life poncing it off others, and also he has to continue to live in the manner to which he’s become accustomed. i think it’s pretty obvious that this bastard has been at it since day one and i’d refute anyone’s words to the contrary.
and watch the fucking time crisis reviews you fucking bastards !
Can confirm. The reviews were great. Especially all the barcadia and lady d news in the middle sections.
one thing that i said before about this grand opening/vip event is that they really should have invited pillars of the local community. it shows how shit eyed and short sighted they are and how caught up in their own importance they’ve become that they didn’t even consider doing so. inviting local people who could actually create a positive stir for the business is a no brainer and what any right minded business person would do. yet again the nostalgia gonk fails at the first hurdle to do anything other than feather his own nest and push his own insufferable image above all else. this isn’t about him this is meant to be a business and if this is how they plan to run it then i hope those behind the 25k will be happy to lose it as they most certainly will. oh sorry how silly of me they’ve already lost it as they’re BACKERS not INVESTORS. sigh.
What, Peter “You want more?” Leigh mixing with the great unwashed?
no mate this was the VIP night and he apparently spent most of it sucking up to the numbskull designs folks
I said it before, as have other people who’ve met him. He’s a stuck up arsehole.
indeed mate that’s the general consensus. a self obsessed, aloof wanker. he’s not even into gaming imo, he just sees it as an easy grift and has creating this pathetic low tier “personality” to lure in americans and suchlike. it’s drivel, just like all “major” uk youtubers.
Those behind the 25k lost their money the moment the mystery benefactor stepped in to get them over the line. If they were buying shares in the business you could (sort of) understand it…
farcical mate these people are parasites !
Hahahahahaha That was amazing George!!!
no problem mate at least something amazing came out of this opening as i don’t imagine anything that took place on the night was ! it looks like a washout !
From the pictures I was it looked like a mess. Some plastic plants nailed to the walls, the cabs looked in a right state. The food looked just wrong. So it opens to the pubic in a week and NN has only told a few people about the opening hours and we still dont know the price of tokens
As the old saying goes “If you have to ask the price you can’t afford it”.
indeed mate they don’t want penny pinchers in there, there are at least two people involved who expect their entire existence to be funded by the ravening hordes of norwich locals who’ve been champing at the bit to play on a battered house of the dead cabinet and to eat food that looks like it came out of a wickerman’s bottom !
“Champing at the bit”
It’s refreshing to see the phrase written or said correctly. Nice work!
people get that wrong ? 😮
as i was saying to u4ria it looks like someone has spent £5 at poundland on kids party decorations. where the FUCK did all the money go ? hmmmm
Loaded fries? seems like they got an “R TAPE LOAD ERROR”.
Those loaded fries seem to suffer badly from colour clash as well.
they suffer badly full stop mate !
I’d sooner have a Rustlers (they do a veggie one now, it’s not bad) or McCain Microchips if that’s the best they can do.
yes mate me too i know someone who worked at the factory for them and said i wouldn’t eat them if he told me what happened in there but i don’t care i love a rustlers !
That probably applies to most mass produced foods though. I helped my father do a few days job at a Cadburys factory once. They told my father not to worry if he dropped any nuts or bolts into the system as the magnet would fish them out. Oh and Dairy Milk is the only “pure” chocolate, the rest is a mixture of broken returns and fresh.
exactly mate i’m under no illusions that mass production of foods is often not the way we’d choose to make it ourselves but it’s all laid on for us so what can we say !?
btw mate it seems that any comment with a picture attached is now moderated, there were people posting weird/suspect images so we switched over to that but we will approve anything that’s not like a screenshot from the dark web !
All good… I know there are plenty of dodgy geezers out there posting sus pics… like those loaded fries…
But they’re loaded with vegan splooge, so they’re ethical.
yes i must confess i got confused and said economical instead of ethical with relation to the serviettes but i was just rambling and trying to remain coherent AND i just had a molar out which is fucking agony and the pain of it is dominating my entire lifestyle so i would really have been better off NOT making this video today but needs must when everyone else on youtube and elsewhere refuse to make videos about these grifting, entitled sickos !
Any vids on this whole affair are appreciated. When browsing DJ Slops video there was on about Kickstarter worst people, but no mention of NN at all.
indeed folks if anyone has any video footage do let me know !
