Two kinds of salvation at Denmark Hill station.

Train like you rave? Mashed off your face after too many 💊, talking cobblers to a bike courier from Nuneaton about how we should definitely make a record next week and start a juice-cum-laser quest bar? Like that?

Chekhov’s pint.

Some very Sean Dyche/Athletico Mince sponsors for the Mansfield v Arsenal FA Cup tie: Bolts, sealants, vodka.

Hurrah! Enjoy.

Chaos on the Bermondsey Beer Mile Vomit, Trump costumes and a private equity landlord: Is London's craft beer Mecca doomed?

Good article about London's breweries based in railway arches and the behaviour of our landlord:

I know football crowds are full of all sorts but what with the Spurs supporters piling out at half time the TV cameras have been free to roam about, finding some astounding specimens of humanity.

And a bang up job you did to.

Oldie but goldie from @vizcomic.bsky.social. Some staggeringly beautiful language, this stands out for me ‘I became aware of a strange feeling in my
stomach. It was like Marlon Brando wearing a jumper soaked in sea water, trying to kick start a diesel Harley Davidson Fat Boy in two feet of porridge”

Not that I would anyway but running around the local park, blunderbuss in hand, plugging away at the wildlife would likely see me have my collar felt or bollocks whacked by local plod.

Saw these lads idling in the park and was interested in seeing what Canadian Geese in the UK get up to, if they do any migrating and the like. Turns out they do sod all. No flying off for the winter or summer, they just bugger about here. Pure deserters from the work of their species. I admire them.

This from Watt’s piece on the BrewDog collapse ‘…had not responded to some of the crises faced by the business "in a way that was authentic and true to who I am”’ 🤮

@thefence.bsky.social Glad to see you’ve mentioned that Dan bloke in the recent mail out on ‘pubfluencers’. Had to mute him years ago for his ‘interesting’ thoughts.

Well, that explains the erratic delivery times.

Who doesn’t love a pub with a big picture of Alvin Stardust?

Don’t know why but the bottle of Sprite is making me laugh.

Rewatched Searching for Sugarman for the first time in 14yrs. Glad to have done so as I got to notice the quite wonderful syrup Steve Rowland sports. It’s magnificent. That takes time, money and, importantly, commitment.

Oasis gig in Manchester years ago. Managed to get a place to stay afterwards in a mate of a mate of a mate’s house. Led up to the room in a hazy state to be find I was staying amongst his menagerie of tarantulas, snakes also possibly dragons, medusas and banshees. Terrifying night of zero sleep.

Just reading about the history of cricket in Mexico 🇲🇽 🏏

A guest at a brew day being shown how to measure the amount of water needed to mash in the grain by one of our team. They are looking at a metal vessel with a wooden lid and surrounded by buckets and jugs of different grains.

Spring is coming and we will be reopening our taproom very soon. Meanwhile there are tickets available to join us for a brew day and taste a range of beers on March 14th 10-2. Details here: www.clarkshaws.co.uk/events

Doing it in ‘Nam just feels perfect.

Dagenham & Redbridge’s new midfielder’s name is just absolutely bang on.

Can’t help but think the John Davidson who’s not that John Davidson is being trolled now on X by people like me who used to reply all to replied all emails asking if people can stop replying all by saying ‘yes, please can everyone stop replying all’. Good times.

Watched A Bridge Too Far on iplayer the other day and these are the BBC’s ‘more like this’ choices. Brilliant array of films where you can turn any day into Easter Sunday at the click of a button.

Sad/evil. Works.

Good on Lou Diamond Philipps for his BAFTA appearance yesterday.

Had a pint of this at another place. Lovely drop. So I had 3 more.
