08.11.2025 16:08 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0An 8.4% Black Sheep Imperial Stout. Never seen them do something this strong, but they should do it more often as this is good. #Beer #BskyBeer
08.11.2025 15:46 β π 21 π 2 π¬ 2 π 0I continued to the end, bad decision. It was garbage.
07.11.2025 23:11 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0π¬π¬π. My take is thereβs barely any story, itβs quite dull, and it has been badly casted. The Thing graphics look bad too. Think the 2005 movie was way better, and that was average at best. But thatβs just my view. π
07.11.2025 22:26 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Half way through that new Fantastic Four movie on Disney+ and it is one of the biggest piles of rubbish I have ever seen. Do I give up now or suffer to the end of the film?
07.11.2025 22:14 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Brilliant result and deserved too. This team, this style of football, can beat anyone. #LFC
04.11.2025 21:57 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The Ref made an absolute mess of that whole situation. Agree that if the penalty wasnβt to be given then it should have been a corner. Donβt understand how Madrid ended up with the ball as a result of all of that.
04.11.2025 21:04 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Brilliant first half by LFC, let down by a referee who has given soft fouls, refused a clear penalty, and made a habit of getting in the way of LFC players. #LFC
04.11.2025 20:52 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Will this Ref piss off getting in the way of the Liverpool players. Heβs like an extra defender for Madrid! #LFC
04.11.2025 20:38 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That was a perfect pass by Wirtz. Great save, unlucky to not be 1-0 up. #LFC
04.11.2025 20:30 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That LFC lineup is the team everyone has wanted to see for a while. Letβs hope it pays off tonight. #LFC

03.11.2025 19:59 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Thatβs good to hear. Two big games ahead then the fixtures get a little more easierβ¦
01.11.2025 23:25 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 02 big games ahead, think we need to manage expectations over them, but was this game a step in the right direction?
01.11.2025 22:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Didnβt watch the game tonight. Had a kid free night so spent it with my wife drinking wine and cocktails. The scoreline looks good, but doesnβt the overall performance create any confidence with the fixtures ahead? #LFC
01.11.2025 22:01 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Definitely. The fact it has even got this far is shocking. Shame that everything has to be fought against rather than common sense prevailing from the start.
31.10.2025 10:44 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Model used to be βpick a brewery each monthβ with a wide range of breweries. Model is now pick whenever you want, with a small range of breweries which change month to month. Itβs more the platform thatβs clunky and confusing, not easy to use, and the range of breweries is smaller.
31.10.2025 10:43 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Was reading this earlier. Awful that this is even being considered.
30.10.2025 22:08 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Just finished the βSpider Lilyβ mission on Ghost of Yotei. What a great side story. The scenery, the background story to the character, the spooky setting. Plus the armour looks great too as a reward. #GhostofYotei
30.10.2025 21:57 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Havenβt ordered much from Brewser lately as I am not a fan of the new model. But I do think this particular set of Cloudwater beers was a good deal. Couldnβt pass up a box of DIPAs that also had a Barley Wine in.

30.10.2025 16:35 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0So using the slang term dippers is about the form and not about the people of Liverpool?
30.10.2025 12:40 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Whats with discriminatory comment towards Liverpool? You may disagree with my view on Chiesa, but making comments like that is unnecessary.
29.10.2025 21:41 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My plan for the 2nd half seen as this game is pretty much finished.
29.10.2025 20:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Feel for Chiesa. Running non stop again, trying his best, but doesnβt have the correct support around him. Often the only one up top pressing by himself. Crazy that he doesnβt get a run of games with the proper first team. #LFC
29.10.2025 20:30 β π 3 π 1 π¬ 0 π 1Having now seen the Palace line up and what bench options we have, Slot has basically declared this as a friendly. Purely for match fitness, Slot not caring about the result, but us fans will do. Donβt want to have to put up with seeing another L on the fixture list. #LFC
29.10.2025 19:45 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Brave selection from Slot when desperately chasing a win and being up against a team which has caused us problems recently, but I understand it with some big games coming. Players need rest. Personally not expecting a positive result tonight, which puts more pressure on Saturday. #LFC
29.10.2025 18:51 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Decide to drive to Manchester today and park in the city centre. Even at several hours of Β£5 an hour NCP prices in Spinningfields, it still turned out cheaper than getting the train. Downside was no beer, upside was cheaper and quicker. Our public transport is rubbish.
29.10.2025 16:37 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Asked the boy what he wanted to do today. He said go play computer games at Power Up. Wasnβt going to complain at that, suits me perfectly.
