Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 16hOnce you've had salted capers you never want to see the vinegared pricks again in your life 130
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 19hThink it becomes a feature of any large organisation that "do nothing" is never allowed as the best response. Just too many teams and processes and layers of 'oversight' ready to automatically kick into action at all times that is totally self-perpetuating 130
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 21hNo it's a different one, an actual appliance man. Got Paul coming round next week though so we'll have a good laugh at your expense 110
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 22hThere's a local bloke, I haven't used him but I'll dig his details off TC&T, seeing as you're banned 100
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 23hWill I understand Music for 18 Musicians if I haven't heard the first 17? 000
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 23hOk I've had a look and I don't think these guys are going to make it 050
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Off to pick up another few thousand trees that have been shipped over from Canada for burning, it's very environmentally friendly by the way 040
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Axe Edge a rare 'resinous IPA' I actually like, and the Trolltunga gooseberry sour is one one of my favourites ever but now discontinued. I think I've got some ancient bottles of their imperial stouts which by now will be undrinkably 'complex' I reckon 010
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Still got a couple of the stupid kwak glasses that I nicked in my student days and have dragged around various house moves since. Love a Buxton beer, had massive stockpiles delivered during the lockdown era 110
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The replies are doing wonders for my hangover this morning. OB Bitter definitely one of those that I'll always try in the hope it will taste of a nostalgic Best Pint Ever, even though it never does 000
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yes I'd sit there enjoying a pint and then notice a group of biker blokes with dodgy tattoos dancing to motown. On grand national day there was a bloke running a book off an excel spreadsheet. A land of contrasts 100
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It always turns up in unexpected places and says "don't worry, everything is going to be ok". Was always on at the Royal Oak in Halifax, which always seemed like an extremely suspect pub (now Under New Management who have kept the bad bits and got rid of the good bits) 110
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Manchester hen party hellhole Alberts Schloss had this as their opening gimmick for a while, when it opened as a serious Bavarian food and drink place, a phenomenal drop 020

Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The pint glasses were like a prop someone would kill someone with in a soap 110
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Hoegaarden 'grand cru' I used to think was the most sophisticated beer on the planet (20 years ago), I'm sure if I tasted it now I'd find it revolting 110
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Well it's a genuine offer, sort of, haven't discussed it with the family. If it's between this and death, here I am 010
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I want to criticise, but I remember I was the same with a slice of orange and a pint of hoegaarden, until I had a pint that had been spiked with a hallucinogen, and never touched it again 130
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The best 9 pint lineup when you walk into a pub tomorrow and have to stay there until the world explodes 110
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Do you want a bed in the Calder Valley. Maybe 3 nights or something. After that it will become prohibitively expensive. Also you have to babysit my children for at least one night. 110
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In all seriousness guys, can I have your list for MY9PINTS 1070
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Find somewhere that stocks the Cartmel ones, or maybe give Charlie Bigham's a go 130
Reposted by Xhxxaxore_ebbed @auorebd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026No, no, I like visual art. Well I don't really see as much of it as I should; I mostly consume it by psychoanalysing the columns of the nation's most belligerent art reviewer. 0132
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah I think that was there, definitely that kind of thing. I wonder what they thought would happen to my brain if I saw it. Just looked up what they're up to these days...Dinos is married to Amanda from Amandaland and they live on Laurel Canyon??! 010
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Chapman bros were in an 18+ only room, I remember my dad coming out and saying he didn't see what the problem was, it was just a bunch of silly dolls with cocks on their heads (my dad is not Jonathan Jones btw) 110
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026All a bit hazy these days lol. Strong memories of the big ticket items, really liked the Hirsts and the Myra portrait. Didn't get why my dad thought the Sarah Lucas fried eggs/kebab was funny!! It was all good for thinking about 'ideas' anyway 100
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Haha yes. Think it's basically Alan Partridge "stop getting the YBAs wrong!" 010
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My dad took me to Sensation when I was 12, can probably trace all my terrible thoughts on art back to that 210
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026JJ turning up at the 90s Art and Fashion retrospective at the Tate and saying "Hello mate, which way to the Fat Les?". He's a national treasure, and entirely right. 141
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Have you seen the price of a box of fishfingers recently, it's the single biggest cost for households after petrol and fags, easily the biggest domestic sector in the economy 120
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026A network specially for people who didn't go to private school but their parents did move house to make sure they got into one of the top 5% of state schools which are essentially socially selective anyway 010
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026(should clarify the video was like 'wow ageing diva in this cool spot' not 'drunk woman goes on rampage' but still, what a fucking weird thing to do) 1140
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Some random lowbie 'influencer' posted a video of my mum having a drink in a 'viral cocktail hangout' the other day and someone who knows her saw it and texted my parents like "did you know you're in this video". They're in their 70s, why should they have to deal with this! 1131
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Why don't you settle this beef like gentlemen - by arranging your little painted figurines on a table and rolling some dice to see which ones get blown up 170
Xhxxax @txomxs.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The only velvet underground album I have never stated definitively to be the best one is white light/white heat. Maybe I could make that my bit for Q4 (or Q3 if you work in financial years) 010
