APPARENTLY it costs the NHS over Β£300,000 a year to remove foreign objects from people's rectums. Why aren't we removing British objects instead? Was Brexit all for nothing? Gerry Paton, London

Changed my CV email address to include my full name, when recruiters confirm it back to me they all say 'Luff' and I can't be arsed correcting them.
Starting to think its more hassle than it's worth and should have just kept it as B1gFatkox69 at freeserve

Ten 10 Bar and Bistro has opened on Newcastles Heaton Road, I think it's next door to The Last Resort.
The question is can I just pop in for a pint or is it food led ?

I'm always a bit cautious of beer with loads adjuncts chucked into it.
Mind you I think adding ice to vodka makes it a cocktail
A news article titled βCamerons places four sites on market as part of strategic review.β It reports that Camerons Brewery is selling four pub sites for a combined Β£1.55m: The Wheelhouse in Washington (Β£275,000), The Mitre in Bishop Auckland (Β£350,000), the Head of Steam in Hull (Β£475,000), and the Head of Steam in central Newcastle (Β£450,000, available for sale and leaseback). A statement from finance director John Foots explains the strategic review, the rationale for selling these locations, and the companyβs continued commitment to the Head of Steam brand, including expansion after success in Manchester. The article notes the company opened its first Manchester site in 2019 and now operates 15 Head of Steam locations. Christie & Co is marketing the four sites.

The bar/shooting venue opened in The Gate - which is a mass grave of 'fun' 'concept' bars
Worry not! it will reopen with a new name and a cutting edge concept of VIP areas, Chillaxed Sundays and Ibiza style club nights that have proved so successful in the past

This Saturday I'm going to try and visit 10... Yes 10 new pubs.
The only problem is I have to walk past the Enigma Tap and Seven Stars to get to them
So I imagine it might be no new pubs but plenty of nice beer
The excellent Mosaic Tap is on the move.. Taking over the old Prohibition Bar on Pink Lane
