There's a new issue (Viz 360) in the shops. Sorry no refunds.
A pic of the new issue (Viz 360) and a reader letter: "It's helpful of King Charles to assure his subjects that Harry and Meghan are 'non-working royals', so we can readily distinguish them from all the other royals stacking shelves in Tesco, delivering food for UberEats or pulling 18-hour shifts at the local A&E.

Caught the train up from Birmingham to the Red Lion in Erdington, mainly to see the magnificent ceramic bar counter. It was made for the pub by Craven Dunnill in 1899 and it's one of only 14 left in the UK. I think I have a photo of most of them now so maybe it's time to get them together in a post!

More Zoigl-ing today in the Oberpfalz. I'm not sure how it has taken 10 years of living in Germany for me to visit this region.

For long time attendees at non league football games it remains a strange sensation to turn onto the road to the ground at 2.15 and see a few others doing the same. Long may it continue

Had one the other night lovely beer. Booked a table this morning at their Inn by the brewery for next Thursday night en route to München, cannot believe we've not been there before.

Yes you must, I would suggest Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden with headphones 🎧 and no distractions absolutely beautiful. It's also worth reading up on the making of that album, makes for fascinating reading.

Very much enjoyed my first cask conditioned real ale in Seoul, South Korea. Joe, the brewery owner at Ashtree brewery, used to work at Redemption and Partizan and we spent time in Belgium together about a decade ago. Was in tip top condition, obvs!
A glass of dark strong ale with Ashtree brewery's logo on the glass. Unsurprisingly, this is an Ash tree.

Up in the hills between Deggendorf and Grafenau, but closer to Grafenau. It's a very short drive to the National park and 35 mins to Czech Rep' and Austria is about 40 mins away. Just checked it out, not sure I know Burglengenfeld but we are familiar with the area as we've camped around there.

I put in a big order today but then saw the beer webshop had a few on special offer because they were getting closer to BB date and they had,10% off Thornbridge this month, so went and did another order to add to it 🤣

Yeah we're very lucky, it's a beautiful area, we love it here. However interestingly I just checked it out and do know Bad Endorf a little as we've walked there from a campsite near Simsee. Btw that's also a very lovely area.

Decided to have a cheeky little beer at the top of the garden. After tomorrow it looks like the weather will drop to single digits during the day and rain forecast Thurs-Sun so making the most of what might be the last of this sunny ☀️😎 warm'ish' weather. Cheers all 🍻

Great choices Des, the Bunnymen and Dexys ones could easily have made my final list. Also really like that The Smiths choice, I think I'm with you on that one.

If they'd have included the stand alone singles Bring on the Dancing Horses and People are Strange that would have elevated that album somewhat.
