What a roller coaster of a day. 1 nil down inside 45 seconds, behind again on the stroke of half time, to go and win it in injury time. Emotions were all over the place. Bring on the draw. #OneSlough

sloughtownsoapbox: PLANE CRAZY

You get drawn away in the #FACup, you find that there's a Desi pub 5 mins from the ground, and 1 of the #RebelsOnTour has Fish and Chips. Warren on fine form as always sloughtownsoapbox.blogspot.com/2025/10/plan...

I am 53 years old. I am not supposed to feel like this. But the #magicofthecup makes me feel like a teenager. It really is the best cup competition in the world. I simply can't wait for tomorrow #COYR #OneSlough #AllTheRebels

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Got a bit stressed at work. Thought about going to the pub. Baked this @nigella.bsky.social cake instead. Just as therapeutic, cheaper, no hangover and me and the better half have lovely cake with our coffee tomorrow www.nigella.com/recipes/ging...

HSB and Festival Mild used to be absolute heaven when on in my local years ago. Sadly, I haven't seen either on Cask for years

The Pembury Tavern: Green Hop Festival 2025 | Pembury Tavern The Pembury Tavern will be celebrating its annual Green Hop Festival from Thursday through Sunday, the 16th through the 19th of October.

It seems that 5 points & the Pembury aren't here. So I'll do it. I'll be popping over to the Pembury next Saturday because I love a green hop beer. If you do, you should pop along too pemburytavern.co.uk/event/green-...

My dad was always partial and passed it on to me aged nearly 18 in 1988. Personally I think its just about the pinnacle of the style. Robust and fruity, and strong enough to let you know when its time to move on

Haven't had that ages but if im in a pub serving it, it always has to be had. Its been a rock solid beer for as long as I've been legally allowed to drink

Just once, just once, I'd either like to be wrong and I worried about nothing, or fucking listened too before the shit hits the fan and I have to clear it up. It hasn't happened yet, but you've got to have hope

Me: Are you sure you want to make this change without providing adequate training to the team?
Work: yes, they'll be fine
Me: ok then, I'll just email you the errors i find, and you can retrain them as they go

Me: I just sent you 45 emails about the errors I found today

Proper FAFO stuff
