Was a very different story 15 years ago when Molson Coors bought Sharps, saying they'd retain it, possibly even grow it, and they were "100% committed to real ale and cask beer at Rock".

I couldn't stand corporate bollocks in my 20s, 30s or 40s and the worst of the rot hadn't set in yet, or I was in the public sector where there was way too much cynicism for it. Now I'm in my 50s I'm pretty sure I'm unemployable by any outfit that would do it. I threw myself off the corporate ladder

People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

You can tell when an area has been gentrified, because the stolen cars stop doing doughnuts and start doing a trio of deconstructed artisanal mini desserts.

Lad at the checkout in the local Morrisons has a sort of tick where he says "living the dream", like, a lot. Miss him when he's not there. Little ray of sunshine he is. We had him today. He also chimes in with "good packing" as you bag your shopping. Living the dream.

Searching for a poem now means an LLM will write something for you on the fly, highly appropriate to the inside of a Hallmark card, but not actually find the poem that you were looking for.

Mrs N wants/needs a holiday, we promised ourselves one, we've got dog-sitting for the week, so why am I so unexcited about the idea of a week off, even though the timing is perfect and I'm bone-tired and probably could do with a break? Going away is just such a hassle and there will be PEOPLE

Bit of a lovely morning. #Devon
Sunlight on grass, seen through a large ash tree, with a willow and brambles in the foreground. There's a timber roundhouse. A low stone building is nestled into a hedgerow, with a green grass field in front, lines of trees behind, and a mist in front of the horizon.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.
