Reposted by MartinSteve @beeroclockshow.bsky.social · 04/07/2025Well, #TDF25 starts tomorrow but it’s bittersweet as it’s the last time on free-to-air TV with the wonderful commentary of @nedboulting.bsky.social & David Millar Sad times, 40 years of watching & this will be my last 😢 Still, I’ve #DrinkTheGradient to look forward to with @mjpo007.bsky.social 4121
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Thanks @eoghanwalshbxl.bsky.social for penning this piece about a German inspired brewery in Brussels www.belgiansmaak.com/brasserie-de...belgiansmaak.comDonkey Work — On Brasserie de la MuleHow stubborn do you have to be to brew German-style beers in Belgium? Joël Galy of Brasserie de la Mule is Schaerbeek should know. 020
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 15/06/2025@illexplainlater.bsky.social Does your summer hiatus include a beery catch up? 000
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Recently bought the @elusivebrewing.com birthday box, pretty happy with my choice! 😃 Train beers from St. Pancras to Bruges. The Dystopia being the standout of the four, with Lost City coming in a close second! 191
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 01/06/2025@diddlydumpodcast.bsky.social The first two review shows of episodes #1 to #4 - Thank you gents. Pretty balanced views. Perhaps a little more generous on the scoring than I expected 😄. 000
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Fucking classless from the Liverpool fans. Booing one of their own. That second goal is on them. I'm ashamed and embarrassed. 110
Reposted by MartinI’ll Explain Later - conversations about Doctor Who @illexplainlater.bsky.social · 28/04/2025🚨 🚨 NEW EPISODE! I’ll Explain Now continues its ‘volcanic take’ run with a discussion on THE WELL. Along the way: imperial -metric conversion crisis, RTD’s Lynchian MO, and lingering sex scenes. Listen now! illexplainlater.com 174
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Watched Lux last Saturday, listened to this yesterday and subsequently rewatched the episode. Enjoyed the review and the rewatch. I don't need a back story about the companion or her folks, I'll take it on trust that she would miss them and want to get home to see them again. Perfectly natural IMO. 100
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 21/04/2025This just came up on the news on @talksport.com Nice one @craftbeerchannel.bsky.social Keep going 👍 110
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 14/04/2025The second hot take I've listened to and the second one where I'm definitely out of step with the hosts.....I largely enjoyed it, have watched it twice and already better than a few of the episodes from last year. Let's see how it plays out....cheers gents. 010
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 06/04/2025All this dicking around at the back by teams these days (mine bloody well included) is driving me bloody insane! Also, so many defenders have lost the ability to fucking defend #FULLIV 110
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 26/03/2025"On 26 March 2005, the wait for Whovians ended as The Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston, returned to British television." 20 bloody years ago! 🙈 020
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 22/03/2025A very enjoyable romp in and around The Mind of Evil, sometimes even discussing the actual episode itself 😂 151
Reposted by MartinIrishBeerHistory @beerfoodtravel.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Well, with all the St P-Arthur-ick's Day palaver well and truly over for another year, it's probably a good time to repost my feelings on a certain brand and what irks me about it ... beerfoodtravel.blogspot.com/2023/04/opin...beerfoodtravel.blogspot.comOpinion: Guinness and Me – Love and Hate at the Heart of Darkness …My first encounter with Guinness was as a small child in the very early seventies when my father would on occasion bring home four or so half-pint bot 083
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 15/03/2025@illexplainlater.bsky.social Enjoyed Thin Ice at the time and I liked the combo of The Doctor and Bill. Interesting and entertaining review gents. Season #10 is a problem for me though as I don't enjoy enough of the actual episodes, especially the trilogy one. 010
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Take your fucking rucksacks off you dicks #Dublin #Luasmedia.tenor.comHulk Oh Yeah GIFALT: Hulk Oh Yeah GIF 010
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 02/03/2025Excellent story and an equally impressive discussion on it. Interesting views on the old B&W era. 141
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 02/03/2025@illexplainlater.bsky.social Caught up on the last two episodes - Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror and The Armageddon Factor. Very different stories. Other than the Racknos knock off aliens I barely remember much about the former and the latter should have been a 4 episode story (max). Cheers guys. 020
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 20/02/2025@illexplainlater.bsky.social Enjoyed your review of The Hand Of Fear. I pretty much only remember the opening and the closing and yes, Sarah Jane's departure was acted so well 🤗. Other first episode winners? Pretty much all the nu Who season ending two parters spring to mind. 020
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 15/02/2025This is so very handy....I now know just how many trains I might miss! 060
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 10/02/2025This story is one I do back to quite often I must admit when I fancy a bit of old nu Who. Flies along but with some quiet moments. The fixed point in time is dealt with rather nicely. Thanks gents. 020
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Definitely not as positive on this story as others have been in the past, but a number of good points well made. 010
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Glad you both enjoyed one of my favourite 2-part stories. It really is very good. Well worth a rewatch, so much going on and so much to appreciate. Nice review guys. 120
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Perfect Pub Walks With Bill Bailey, 4 episodes of escapism, each one of them made me smile 😁 Some nice conversations were had amongst nature and in some lovely hostelries. 080
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 12/01/2025@illexplainlater.bsky.social Android Invasion eh? Episode #1 is excellent, with a fantastic cliffhanger......after that, it seems unsure where to go next. Shame really as there's potentially a lot to love. Perhaps a case of great idea/poor execution? Or only enough for two episodes.... 010
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Frustrating performance from Liverpool, matched by the officials. Well done Spurs, better team tonight. 000
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Happy birthday @simoncarbon.bsky.social & @daintyvi.bsky.social Enjoy your day 220
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Not the best festive offering from Doctor Who but an excellent review chaps 110
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Excellent run through of one of the great stories across all of the eras of Doctor Who 110
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Arsenal players have very fragile jaws.....don't take up boxing boys! 000
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 01/01/2025I've just taken a look at my Untappd stats, no real surprises tbh #YearinBeer2024 030
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Happy New Year 🎊🍺 Today's plan: Gym Darts Football Darts With added leftovers! Enjoy day #1 of 2025 🎯⚽🍾 040
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 31/12/2024And to round of the #12BeersOfXmas... A slightly "out of date" beer!! 🙈 However, tasting sublime and not that dissimilar to how I vaguely remember it! Basically "tidy". 0111
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Well, this has held up pretty well tbh. Carbonation does die away a little quicker than hoped. But flavour and aroma wise, it's perhaps as expected.....toffee, raisins (other stone fruits are available) etc....yeah, pretty pleased #11 #12BeersOfXmas 1101
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Not actually sure how long I've had this one, but it was fabulous. Only a hint of booze, it was all chocolate, coffee with a little bit of vanilla on the side #10 of #12BeersOfXmas 3161
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Correction.....Beer #8! Not #7 (that occurred a few hours earlier) #12BeersOfXmas 081
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Purchased in New York April 2022, but can save it no longer! Absolutely delicious 😋. Well balanced, smooth & velvety #7 #12BeersOfXmas 1101
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Last sampled on draught in Bruges with @beeroclockshow.bsky.social & @clayfish.bsky.social at Huis De Cluuse in Bruges, this bottle purchased on the same trip. It is a rather wonderful #7 #12BeersOfXmas 3151
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Well, that was some match between Price & Cullen #PDC #WorldChamps 🎯 010
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Just when I was about to wish @bonsvoeux1.bsky.social seasons greetings, he goes and posts this!! 110
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Top tier Christmas episode.....and Last Christmas wasn't bad either 😉 Very enjoyable summing up gents and one of my favourite festive treats from Doctor Who too. Lots in the story to enjoy, very layered. Need to rewatch. Merry Christmas to you both. 121
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 22/12/2024#12BeersOfXmas #5 and Death in Paradise in 10 mins time 😁 Happy Sunday! 091
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 22/12/2024I don't know about Fury being robbed, I know I was! Boring 12 rounds on the whole. Neither of them looked like champions of days gone by. IMO the judges over marked Usyk, it was not 8 rounds to 4, so this hasn't helped. Fury lost. Usyk won. It'll probably be 20 years before I pay for a fight again! 010
Martin @mjpo007.bsky.social · 22/12/2024#12BeersOfXmas 2, 3 & 4 A bit of a mixed bag.... favourite was the offering from Mills. But all three accompanied the darts & boxing (one of these was definitely more exciting than the other 🎯) rather nicely in their own way 0293
