Advice required

[Jean-F]

My wife’s SIL called me yesterday, saying, “What is that forum that I’ve seen you use?”
Cautiously I asked why, and she said that my wife’s brother had received a permaban from Pistonheads, as he’d got into a back and forth about Corbyn, and posted something perceived as anti Semitic.
Aware that he wouldn’t be able to spell clock, let alone Overclockers, I told her that it was Overclockers, but knowing that his interests stretched from cider, through lager, and peaked at Millwall, I said that Overclockers might not suit him, and to check out Digital Spy.
Then it occurred to me that wiser heads here could maybe suggest a forum that might suit his requirements.
I take the **** out him constantly, but he’s got a heart as big as a Mack truck, and would give you the shirt from his back, he’s just not well versed in social niceties.
e.g. if I suggested going out for dinner, he sees Nando’s to be as near to fine dining as he can reach for.
We took him and his wife to an upscale restaurant in Atlanta GA once, and as we were perusing the menu, a waiter came by and offered us bread from a basket, my BIL looked at him suspiciously, and said, “How much extra is that?”
Any forum suggestions that may suit him will be gratefully considered.

If my wife tried getting involved with my choice of forums I'd be very concerned.

The only way his wife is getting involved is to ask me for advice on what Forum might suit him, knowing her, there’s no way that she’d say, this is the one for you, she’d say Jean said this might suit you, go online and see what you think.

nah nah nah, you ain't getting away with it as easily as that......come on, what he post?!

I honestly have no idea, I never would have had him down as “politically aware”, I’ve also never heard him say anything that could even be remotely construed as of an anti Semitic nature.

Yes but what was the name of the road that this restaurant in Atlanta GA was on?

I take it that you’re on a monumental wind up, but it was the Sun Dial revolving restaurant, on the top floor of the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel, on Peachtree Street, Atlanta.

That's a bit better then Macs.

should have gone to Bacchanalia awesome food(well it was in 2004).

We have friends who live in Villa Rica, some 30 miles west of Atlanta, they speak very highly of Bacchanalia.

What did you have for pudding?

I’d love to join in, but my Bermondsey upbringing means that pudding is something that you might have for dinner, as in meat pudding, steak pudding, or suet pudding, but never as an after dinner course, that’s always dessert, or afters if at the in-laws, but never pudding, or God forbid, sweet.
My best guess for what we had for dessert at the Sun Dial would be Mississippi Mud Pie, Peach Cobbler, Chocolate Pecan Pie, or the old favourite, Key Lime Pie.

My nan used to work for the bermondsey rat company

You may be kidding, but there are quite a few rat extermination companies in Bermondsey.
Probably used to be plenty of rats in the docks, or by the river, but I’ve lived 75 metres from the Thames since 1985, and I’ve only ever seen one rat.

One rat by the river or one anywhere?

One rat in the vicinity of my house, it was running along the top of the fence
that divides my back garden from my neighbour’s back garden.

Or Reset Era

Thanks for that, I Googled it and it said that it was a forum for video gamers, now I don’t see my BIL qualifying for MENSA anytime soon, but he has zero interest in video gaming.
