Hopefully she'll be enjoying a happy retirement

It says on the CAMRA site that they regularly have 6 real ales on. Not on a Saturday obviously.

Was it Carolyn Marshall?

I was a bit sceptical about it until I saw the comment underneath the article. I now see that it's all true.

Stewart Lee was on magnificent form tonight at Tyne Theatre and Opera House in Newcastle tonight. I've seen a few of his shows but this was the funniest. If you've got tickets for any shows on this tour you're in for a treat - especially if it's for Coventry.

Emma-Jean Thackeray at the Glasshouse, Gateshead on Friday night. Superb performance and good support act Sol Paradise.

Not sure about Halloween themed beers just as Christmas beers are often disappointing

You'll be in a good mood for today's ticking

Great night at @thefirestation.bsky.social last night to see @juliefowlis.bsky.social . Full house too!

Spoiler alert
It was rubbish as one of the purple answers wasn't in the same category as the others - starling doesn't mean little star

I loved that pub last time I visited Glasgow

Fantastic "Widows and Bairns" sculpture in Eyemouth by Jill Watson Commemorates the 1881 disaster when 189 fishermen died. Each figure represents a widow or child bereaved on that day.

Looking at home behind the bar!

Loudest fart eh? You'll have heard a few in Spoons on your travels.

Looks a bit like a theatre bar. Not bad.

Went to the National Glass Centre in Sunderland earlier in the week. Some great pieces of work and information about the history of glass making in the region. I was particularly impressed by the artworks by Anthony Amoako-Attah.

Impressed by your paramedic skills. A real all rounder on that trip.

My handlebars came off once when I was in the middle of four lanes of traffic on Hyde Park Corner. Bit of a wake up.

Well done Max and Barry for discussing this on Talksport. Keep on doing it (if you're allowed). There needs to be some plurality of views there.

Last time I was in there the Motorhead Porter was fantastic. Glad to see it's still top notch.

Stopped off here on a CAMRA outing. Lovely pub.

My first time there when I was visiting GBBF. What a great pub with fantastic beer.

Low chairs when you're trying to drink is a real pain

Looks like the Bridge Hotel. One of my favourites.

Quite right Barry. Let's hope it's SJ getting the push.

If the barrel's been scrapped they won't be able to scrape the bottom of it
