Can't beat a drop of the black stuff... #BskyBeer

Thought of you when I was in the Smoke the other day... One of the pubs I was in had an entire Negroni variation menu. I thought that between us we could probs have tried them all?! 😁

Oh, hang on... There has already been a Safe Dave! 😁

Gotta love a #Threefer when purchasing beers for home drinking. And if bought from my corner shop I invariably pick the same three every time. This is the second of them. 🍺 #BskyBeer

This was a great pint from local brewery Clearwater. And apparently lacings are a good thing...so, behold my lacings! 😁🍺 #InstowInterloping #BskyBeer

I think we all know what "interloping" was code for?! 😁 #BskyBeer

Gotta admit that initially I didn't realise who this was, and he used to be one of my major crushes!

"That's Life" was one of those programmes that automatically makes me think of bath nights, salad for tea, and being asked multiple times whether I had done my homework... I hope that Cyril is currently reading her one of his odd odes. 🙂

Zedwell just a few steps from TCR tube station... I shall also be back up there next month, and am staying in the same block, but in the above ground STG part that time.

#TrainTreats Been wanting to try these for ages and they did not disappoint. 😋 🍋 There's one left if anyone wants it? Quick tho, in case I cave and eat them both! 😁

Behold my underground bunker bed from last night... Just to be clear tho, the hotel is all underground, but not in a bunker, and not in *the* underground. Sadly. 😁

I love this building... And yes, I know what it is. I also know that it doubled as Spooks HQ! 📺

Had to be done... But, please do not ask me how much these cost, because I am busy touting my body for money right now! 😁 #BskyBeer

An older chap (70 if he was a day) just pulled up outside my house on this cool scooter... He got off, and then just stood there in his parka having a smoke, donned his helmet again, and off he went. It was obviously just a fag break pit stop. But, it made me wonder where he was headed. 🤔

Saw this old advert for Kunzle Showboat cakes. Made me recall us getting VERY excited as kids if mum came home with a box of Lyons Showboats* I mean, as a child, a cake that came in a chocolate shell was like winning the lottery! 😁 *turns out Lyons took over Kunzle and made the cakes into the 70s.

Image shows two pictures. One is an old b&w drawn picture advertising Kunzle Showboat Cakes. The other is a colour photo of a box of Lyons Showboats Cakes.

It would seem that I am only ⅔ crow... And I'm not even convinced that they do actually collect shiny things, so crows may also only be ⅔ crow as well! 😁

Continuing my "lost property" sesh with this Northern Monk Impy Stout... And I swear it's pretty good! 🙂🍺 #BskyBeer

This is one of my favourite beers from Exeter Brewery, and it's so good that I even forgive them for the Americanism based pun! 😁 They describe it as having a "warm malts and berries" flavour and they're not wrong. 👍🍺 #BskyBeer

Okay, I'm calling it... And today's sesh will mostly be sponsored by: "My Recovered Lost Property Beers" 🍺 😁

The soundtrack for today's #DullDomesticDrudgery There are some great cover versions on this... My brother bought me her LP back in the 80s and I loved it, so sometime ago I picked up this CD in a chazza shop. 🎶

It's nice that Areen has got so many people looking out for him, but I've had to block/report about eight of these today!!

Ah, my coffee mug... This is what the rest of it shows. The Class 50 is an old style of train here that has something of a cult following.

These cocktail cigarettes are so pretty that one might almost want to take up smoking again! 🙂 (and yes, they are still being made apparently)

Rubbish version, I agree...perhaps the worst of the canned ones. The FUNKIN nitro one's not too bad. Has more proper flavour and doesn't look like orange squash!

Remember those chocolate stouts? Well, one of them is about to disappear! 🙂🍺 #BskyBeer

Made with actual Anzac biscuits apparently! 👍🍺 #BskyBeer

Not gonna lie, when I had my first sip of this I thought "nah, that's not for me" it is very floral and perfumey... But, after subsequent sips, I am confident that I will at least finish it. Hey ho, we can't win 'em all! 🍺 #BskyBeer

From saison to sour... This is the only Pilot beer that I'd ever had prior to my recent haul, and it is just as good as I remembered. 🍺 #BskyBeer
