I stand to defend vertical drinking. Is a pub that doesn’t allow it a real pub at all? | Simon Jenkins
The time-honoured tradition of standing up with a drink, gossiping and putting the world to rights is under threat. If councillors ban it, we’ll all lose out, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

Speaking of the Shaw Festival (see below), renowned Wodehousean and TWS Ambassadrix, Elin Woodger, brought her vast store of PGW + Golf knowledge to Niagara On the Lake for an unsurprisingly amusing talk on July 4. Here’s the glowing REVIEW (of a *lecture*!): niagaranow.com/opinion.phtm...

Shaw review: A celebration of golf's past — and Broadway's best

Surely no actual PGW devotee would show up at a HEAVY WEATHER discussion and offer this synopsis! I’m starting to think it may be the work of a saboteur…Claude, is that you? Alexa?

The great American actor and national treasure, John Lithgow, famously recited “Uncle Fred Flits By” on Broadway in 2018, in a show called “Stories By Heart.” Oh, how I’ve regretted missing that…but it exists in AUDIOBOOK form, and is currently on sale for a comical $2.38 for Audible members!
