I distrust the number 17 and am unreasonably resentful towards both 23 and 109 . Will I have to go on a course?

The old two hours of Baker and an hour of Fighting Talk ensured my entire house was spotless by midday every Saturday for nearly a decade. Now I have to cram all that housework into an hour and it’s a pigsty.

Was in village st when the tellys switched off. Ended up with 10 of us crowding round my phone to stream the last pen (good test of the stadium WiFi at least).

Pints in there started at Β£5.95 last night which didn’t seem too bad. Preferred the Higsons in the Bluehouse mind.

It’s this emboldenment that worries me. Just seen this carful of lads lining the lampposts with flags, car tooting as they pass. Social media and exaggerated reporting makes them think they can do what they wouldn’t have 10 years ago.

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.

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.

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…
