Introduce yourself with 10 acts you've seen live. No particular order. "I'll come the pub but for one" "There's nothing wrong, I'm just tired" "Yeah we should get together for a drink soon" Etc etc I'm not really committed to this bit.

Got to choose my start date for a new job and I'm giving myself a week off after Brussels beer festival. Can't wait.

I've only got 13 days left in my current job and I don't have very much to do, please suggest some side quests I can do. I've already written a poem about invertebrates for my local rangers station.

The cheat code for the flag is that I call 'The Jamaican Way' . Think of a cab of red stripe and how you drink it, go left to right. Red stripe down, Red stripe up, Red stripe down, Red stripe up.

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks. "So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

Going to the Eight Towers pub tonight, built in the 1990s, and the cooling towers it was named after were knocked down a few years ago. Is there any pub with a name that had a shorter span than that?

Bizarre that the US can just invade a country, bomb its capital, kidnap its president and his wife, and our PM just says "Well, let's just see what's going on here....".

Anyone fancy a thread on the first Christmas ball you've dropped? Was assured by the butchers that I didn't have to order lamb shoulder, "loads in!". Went today and guess what? Your turn!

Brilliant moment in a craft beer place just now where a guy comes in and asks for Hawkstone lager - the barman just laughs in his face. It's three days til Christmas and the hospitality filter is thin as a skin.

A tale of two beers, Oxford Rd Tap and Co-Op Live
Useful numbers all Train station tap rooms are some of my favourite things, as a permanently early person who would rather give up a major organ than miss a pre-booked train. Don’t talk to me…

I was going to get on my high horse about the world cup draw being more ridiculous than the much derided Eurovision but then I remembered there's a boycott of Eurovision because of Israel and now I just need a lie down.

Some older fellows in this pub watching the draw have only just heard the phrase "game's gone" and they are really enjoying it

Delivery driver called because I wasn't at home and parcel has alcohol so he can't leave it anywhere. Said I was in the pub and he's just dropped it off here. Christmas hero.

Upsetting news from Girl Guiding yesterday but can I just say this - they have messed with the wrong group. Guiders have ORGANISED! Don't want to say more just yet but TERFs don't know what beast they have awoken.

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats: 1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

I've managed to pretty much remove amazon from any of my shopping but I can't find any alternative for sending stuff within Australia, from the UK. Anyone have any ideas? Australian online stores have always been difficult to use from the UK.

It's my birthday today, and also trans day of remembrance. I find this pretty poignant as back in 2009 I started my Trans Mentoring Programme at the college where I worked. I realised we had quite a few trans students and no policy or practice which supported them. I was about to ask permission to

This beer is by my friends at Azvex, and I've had a can at home myself, it gives instructions on the side of the can as it's made with oat milk, just upending it like in the video won't work. Same as when a beer is bottle conditions, you need to do a certain pour.
