My second write-up of 2026, which references events back in 2008. I know I take a long time to get things typed, but this is really taking the piss now.

This isn't a pub review as such, but if it was it would be 5*.

The first time (only)I had it, it was sold by the bar man as a Belgian beer. One of the most disappointing beers I've had. Ever.

One on left is a black dog and above it the words โ€œRealityโ€. Below it is โ€œI chased a squirrelโ€ 

One the right is a black dog and above it says โ€œLinkedInโ€. Below it says, 

Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions.

Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders.

This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

The Day We Went To Bangor I find it incredible that a city such as Bangor (yes, itโ€™s a city) in County Down did not, in recent times, have a fully operational, commercially successful microbrewery. Genuinely, Iโ€™โ€ฆ

Not the most egregious aspect of the whole thing but those ChatGPT "caricatures" aren't even caricatures, they're slightly stylised versions of a person's photos where they just made the heads big and the bodies smaller

All TV. In all pubs. Everywhere.

Blah blah, community. Blah blah, like minded people.
