An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

It's about some veterinarians in the 30's. It's slow, doesn't have any sex, violence, or profanity. It's wholesome. It's filmed in the absolutely gorgeous Yorkshire Dales. We love it and have already watched 2.5 seasons in 3 nights.

Sorry to tell you but it's all shot on green screen.

Northern England is a desolate wasteland full of ne'erdowells, rogues and naves. Everything is decaying mining towns and abandoned shipyards. The kids are, er, feral and will mug you for your shoes, and, er, hmm, other stuff.

You don't want to come here, honest.

Source: I live in Newcastle, a famously dead town with absolutely nothing to offer, and definitely no nice pubs or architecture, where the locals literally eat outsiders.

How lucky you are. We're talking about visiting this or next summer. It would be a huge trip for us, so idk how likely it is, but we're talking about it. I was checking out the website for the Dales this morning.

If you do definitely go see Conisbrough Castle and York, lots of neat stuff in York. The Holiday Inn in Harmsworth isnt bad at all, has a car park and a nice pool.

(for those confused, this is essentially a quote from the show)

Thanks, glad someone finally realised, season 2 episode 9 (maybe 10?)when James has to attend a callout near Whitby as some jet addicts obstruct a cow.

I have no idea if this is serious or not. I think it is, but what?!?

I mean look, if there really was countryside like they portray in the show, do you really think, in real life, everyone would stay in London all the time, and then holiday on some Spanish island?

Nothing that idilic and dream like is real, I mean, that's sort of the point of the overall story, but I don't want to spoil it if you haven't read the books so I better stop there.
