Lovely stuff, Liam

Always worth remembering that @gbnewsonline.bsky.social was used to promote Cask Marque's Cask Ale Week in 2023

There were two that I had. Jack Attack and Wizard or Wor. NGL when I got a MegaDrive the whole thing was a huge sea-change BUT the games were too expensive so overplayed what I had

The C64 colour palette is etched in my brain. Less so with the Atari 2600 because who gets that machine afterwards? It’s like upgrading from a jeep to a pushchair

Just got caught up on this and it's delightful. FWIW, I also had an Atari 2600 (and, later, C64) and the only thing I could ever get ET to do in the game was elongate his neck and briefly levitate. Ghost Manor and Pitfall were more my speed.

Good work calling Farage a foreign leader which is what he absolutely is

Pubs for the People by me & Vallu is out with @manchesterup.bsky.social in October. On how the pub can be salvaged as a space for the Good Life that goes beyond boring ideas of White England.

Patron, un Demi! — On France’s PMU Bars and Keeping Working-Class Spaces Alive — Pellicle It’s noon and, since it doesn’t serve food, I expect Le Mustang in Saint-Nolff, Brittany to be almost empty when I push through the doors. The place is packed regardless. Construction workers stand to...

Despite being fiercely anti-gambling, I really enjoyed this and have always wondered about these PMU bars. Great stuff from @anahlcq.bsky.social & @pelliclemag.com

HOW DID WE MISS THE TRUEST DYSTOPIAN WORK OF FICTION? #IveGotAGoldenTicket - and how we get out this current hell (sort of)

I know! These prices are crazy for any freehouse, city centre pub with a lovely interior

Thank you. (Maybe remind the guys in my DMs saying "That's rubbish. I live in the north and cask is better and cheaper")

I mean I love London Lush so I elevated that one. But if you factor in the location it’s a great option if nearby

Happy to be of service

Is this a coincidence?
