I know influencers are just advertising by another name, but it feels a bit grubby. Anyway, follow me for more supermarket canned beer recommendations...

I was just driving in a city an hour or so ago, but Carlisle doesn't really feel like more than a decent sized town.

I wouldn't announce it if I won the lottery, but there'd be signs...

Back home now. 20 mins to the garage in a car. 2 hrs 15 min back on buses.

When the car's fixed, I think I'll just ask someone to give me a lift to pick it up.

Another lesson I'm being.g taught this morning is why just because a local garage can't book my car in unless the lady who answers the phone is in that day, I shouldn't just go to an out of town one that can be all booked, quoted & paid for online.

This morning I'm having a lesson in why people who don't normally catch buses don't suddenly start catching buses.

My Belgian Blonde refermented with the sediment from a Saison Dupont & Boone Gueze after several weeks in the bottle. It's gassed up well & is quite cidery at the moment. Still plenty of bottles left to see where this will end up.

I know they beat Villa, but my money's still on the minced chicken kids meal staple.

I've already let myself down on Zero Discrimination Day as I have decided St David's Day is better & Barista Day can take a run & jump.

Doesn't seem much point in visiting Cologne if you can't have a Kosch, Prague if you can't have a pilsner, Munich if you can't l have a heffe or Tenerife if you can't have a poolside ordinary lager.

I like that you can turn the serious beer head off for an evening & to give what might be a bangin' disco bar a try.

Agreed. Easy drinking too. Before you know it the stash under the stairs has gone.

A box of Bao Buns with stylised writing that could say Bad Buns. On a supermarket freezer shelf.

Usually with these trendy beers, the ingredients from Swizzles-Matlow is on the inside of the beer.

This reminds me of a letter to Viz: "I heard a BBC commentator say that Sarena Williams had just had 8 Aces during a match. Fair play to her as I couldn't stand up after 8 Aces, let alone win a top level tennis game."

(For those that don't know, 8 Ace is a fictitious strong lager in Viz magazine)

Fifteen years after @parsley72.bsky.social recommended Lie To Me, I'm watching it. I prefer The Mentalist though as - despite it having more dead bodies - it's more glamorous.

It's been nice up our way today. I drove to Pooley Bridge, Silloth, Carlisle & Long town & had to put the sun visor down a couple of times.

Beer With Pals every time. Imagine having the most wonderfully interesting beer & not having someone to say "get a load of this!" to.

I haven't been to a gig on fifteen years, but I'm having a night out in Manchester at the end of May to see... MARINA.

My kid introduced me to them in Jan '25 & they have a fair back catalogue.
