Thanks for this! I’m moving to Leeds in a couple of months and was a bit worried about the pub situation but these look stunning. All going on my list.

I think you’ll have a job finding any Jim’ll Fix It clips these days. 😬

I struggled to find loads in Chester on my last visit but can recommend:

Spitting Feathers Brewery Tap
The Cellar
The Brewhouse and kitchen

Lots of choice in each but they feel very distinct from each other.

They always make me leave. Just give us a well curated jukebox.

Was there when Johnny Vegas took his took audience for a pint to β€œmake a landlord’s dream come true”. Staff were bringing up fresh glasses by the dozen 10 mins from time.

Why have they listed every turn twice? It’s as if they can’t even fill a poster up.

40 pages in and already had to ask my partner to hide the fine china. 😑

A comedy of errors but a gripping read! πŸ‘

What's the lowest profile British comedy film you've seen in an actual cinema? Or any genre. Extra points if it's no longer available on any streaming platform.

I saw Gladiatress, the Smack The Pony film. You didn't know that even existed? Well, quite.

Promotional artwork for the 1998 movie still crazy showing a old singer posing between the letters of the title.

Promotional artwork for the film Maybe Baby which looks like you’ve asked AI to imagine a Richard Curtis adaption of β€˜Friends’

I remember going the premiere of Still Crazy at the newly opened Trafford Centre - lots of fun. Less so this Ben Elton misfire I was convinced I’d imagined till I went looking for the artwork to post here.

When my partner moved in two years ago I reluctantly gave up all mine to share the wardrobe space.

Now I’m painting a fence on Monday and might have to do it in a three piece suit…

Our insurers have said there’s no need to test a victory parade for some reason 😞

Recently read the book β€˜MCU’, and I’m now looking forward to the Road To Coronation St style behind-the-scenes movie

Northern Rail are just a total embarrassment aren’t they? Christmas festivities, a Manchester derby and massive Paul McCartney gig and this is the service from a MCR suburb to town tomorrow. I’d love to travel sustainably but….

They shame our region @andyburnham.bsky.social

Now we’re are here it turns out the closest any portrayal of a dystopian future has come to being accurate is the 1996 Christmas special of Only Fools and Horses.

Ah but you could just factor in a bitter post war nuclear winter that has extended the season all year round.
