Got, got, need

I feel @geterbrewed.bsky.social might be able to help here

Agreed

Does anyone else look at a gap in a decent resume and think that makes a potential hire more interesting?

They've either spent time furthering themselves through travel/training/reflecting on life or they've gone through some shit and looking to get back on top of things.

All positives in my eyes

Eastleigh v Southend for me

If you want well priced, authentic Tenerife seafood and are stuck in Christianos at all.

I know that style of event horizon

Rugby Meltzer over here...

A thing that still sticks with me is how normal Kyiv and Ukraine felt. Even after the initial invasion, the air raids/curfews, and the grinding warfare continuing on in the east, it felt vibrant, alive and free.

"Propaganda tours" my arse.

Yea but your 30's are when you hopefully have enough money to make it a crippling addiction.

We do make other stuff apart from Apophenia you know...

What's the GSM?

Sexy

Mash Tun is busy so pivoted over to the canner as the filling heads have been inconsistent.

Recently replaced all the air lines/push fittings and ordered a full set of pneumatic cylinders as trying to diagnose issues randomly is daft.

Also god bless AliExpress. Cost of 5 cylinders = 1 from UK

I'll report back tomorrow!

To be fair, it's missed a few scheduled bolt tightenings as it's hidden away, and the seal is getting on a bit (Preventative > Reactive is so very important). I'll be fixing that moving forward.

Today's job: Servicing the Mash Tun agitator and cleaning out the roasted wort extract from the shaft seal leak trap.

No impact on quality and a very sticky job but even the bits you can't see need to look their best.

Outside of business purchases and perhaps Prime Video (which is getting more predatory regarding 4K, HDR, adverts), does anyone use their Prime subscription that much anymore?

Hey @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social

What would be the best way to contact you regarding an interaction with another customer that occurred in the toilets earlier this evening?

I'm still none the wiser over the circumstances but the level of aggression has me concerned for others safety.

If you know... you know

One of my fondest memories with Tereza. She was throughly bemused at how giddy I was the entire tour and spent most of the time chatting in Czech about Ice Hockey with the crew.

Diageo are massive but they aint AB massive and with the run that Guiness is currently on, they're either going to have to invest heavily in a fickle market thats shrinking as a whole or look to investment and capacity beyond any sort of imaginable scale.

I know what the shareholders would choose

Even with the 9000 year lease, I'm guessing St. James's Gate isn't cheap to operate/maintain. CapEx must be many times what a modern brewing facility requires to just keep up with sustainable brewing technologies.

Sell the rights to InBev and keep a decent share isn't unforseeable.

Went through the dating pool and realised that I was looking for a Pam all these years.

Man, I really REALLY miss Iraq....

Live a little I say, until the accountant steps in.

Always!

Going to do something hilarious this year. Watch this space
