Queens Arms, city centre, Liverpool. Opened by the 1936 pub co (also of the Grapes) in March. Cask ale in a 1920s former banking hall. Thanks for sharing.

The minute Argentina stopped diving & cheating & actually played they were simply better than us. Still very proud of our team though. Especially ‘Flash’ Gordon.

It was rather a slog in the heat but we finished the South Downs Way on Saturday. The SDW runs 100 miles from Eastbourne to Winchester.

Twenty years ago today, David Gilmour played the first of three shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, with a very special guest appearance for Comfortably Numb from David Bowie, in what sadly turned out to be Bowie's final ever appearance on a UK stage.

friendsofthecommons.uk We’ve pledged some money. You must too. The Common shouldn’t be owned by the Money Men. We all know how that’ll end - it can only be destroyed once. Dig deep.

Harve, Rocky & I outside the Bear & Key pub, Whitstable. The Wilde Flowers (who became Soft Machine & Caravan & included Kevin Ayers) played their first gig here in ‘65. Ground Zero for the Canterbury Scene - not that anybody seemed to care except us! Did you know Kent IS the Land of Grey and Pink?

The lady who poured coffee dregs down the drain is fined whilst Ofwat admit they’ve been weak on corporate sh*t dumpers. People who project Epstein images on Windsor Castle under pressure while the real offenders continue to get away with it. It’s quite a grind, just now….
