I love coming down to this part of the world. First came down to a gig at the Trades Club about 10 years ago and have tried to come back at least a couple of times every year since then. Hebden Bridge can be a bit of an arsehole magnet, but outside the weekend it's still a great place.

In the pub that Branwell (least famous of the Brontë siblings) drank. Died an alcoholic at 31 yo 😢

Cheers! 🍻

How do you customise that with the bears/strawberries (or other stuff)? I've just got the bog standard 'green flag - want to go', 'gold star - visited' and 'red heart - favourite' for my pubs on Google Maps.

Very impressed with the Salt Beer Factory set up.

Saltaire. What an amazing place. Glad I made the slight detour today. Salt Mills is a fantastic arts/food/shopping space. Great pubs too.

Far too busy at Whitlock's/Turk's Head so come off the beaten track a bit to The Grove.

When I used to come down to Leeds in the late 80's/early 90's for bands it would generally be a case of arriving, getting pissed up as cheaply as possible, go to the gig and hopefully find somewhere to crash afterwards. Bit old for that nowadays.

First pint in Leeds for over 30 years!!! 🍻

The excellent Bridge Hotel also has Jarl on. Just out of shot next to the Doom Bar 🍻

Idlewild. It's been a while.

Indeed! 🍻

Another nice wee station bar on the Tyne & Wear Metro, The Ticket Office at Whitley Bay.
Unfortunately Scotrail really don't like pubs at their stations 😢🍻 #bskybeer

Newcastle. I am in you 🍻

First trip outside of Scotland for nearly five months! Really need to spread my holidays out a bit better next year.

It's rather gothy and pretty good.

Given that we'd not scored a goal in the league this season prior to today, I don't think many folk were expecting that. 4-0 going on 10-0 🔴⚪🐑🔥

In the post yesterday. New Idlewild swag. Their 10th album. Looking forward to the Newcastle and Leeds gigs later on this week. Will be my first gig in Leeds for over 30 years.

The lovely folk from Castle Rock were up at Fierce today for their brew 🍻

DOUBLE RAINBOW!! 🌈🌈

I'm liking that #coyr #stsndfree 🔴⚪🐑🔥

Devlin at LB, Milne at RB I reckon. Dorrington/Knoester in the middle.

Jensen is suspended after the red card against Bucharest.

Happy with that.

Most expensive game I've ever bought was the Pip-Boy Edition of Fallout 4. Worth it for the Pip-Boy!

The main diagram shows the Earth's annual rotation around the Sun, surrounded by a zodiacal scale that gives the names, symbols and images of the signs of the zodiac. The seasons and the positions of the equinoxes and solstices are marked. Text at the corners describes the Zodiac and the Earth, and a longer text at the bottom explains the Phenomena of the Seasons.

I find it an absolute nonsense that electricity prices are based on the cost of gas, when in Scotland all our electricity is provided by renewable sources.
