This is why we must do away with bridges over the Thames.

The year is 2019 and @vincerai.bsky.social has been challenged to write a drinking guide to Telegraph Hill.

I’ve been called a lot of things, but never a driving force.

Thanks to The Mistress for retrieving this from The Sheaf before it closed down. Might gift it to @theshirkersrest.bsky.social 😃

Brilliant from She Drew The Gun last night.

“There's a glitch in the system of conventional wisdom
'Till we make our decision to get up and give them
Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain”

Glad there’s a ceasefire. Will be happier when Netanyahu is in The Hague.

He hadn’t got dementia. He really is that much of a bellend.

Such a hell hole, That London.

The Gaslight Times And the hypocritical oath

Back to ranting. It keeps me from expensive therapy.

While I'm claiming ownership of @theshirkersrest.bsky.social I may as well try it on with this (excellent) dry cider, currently pouring @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social

Oh you like us now, is it?

Sorry, Boss.

The D&B, of course! 🤪

Articles like this are typical of why readers should support Pellicle. Brilliantly written and researched. I've been going to the D&G for 20 years and didn't know half of this. It's a miracle of a pub and one of the best in London.

Yeah, is he standing on a box?

No, that’s a a myth. It was called Blackheath before the Plague.

The #crispnews we’ve been waiting for. Now arriving at Aldi.

Messing About on the Water Boats, booze and blowbacks.

Forget the motorways, let's get on the waterways. @deserterblog.bsky.social

There were no Lords there either. Have Lords been banned from Handsworth? It’s a disgrace etc.

Why does nobody ask - why are you lying out of your ass?

Dulwich Hamlet. Always anti-fascist. 💙💕 @pepperarmy1893.bsky.social

A great use of police resources, protecting us all from grannies with cardboard placards.

Lunacy.

Londoners: It’s the weekend!
London Transport: Fuck you!

I wish they’d mess with the trains and tubes on Monday morning when no one wants to go anywhere.

Forza Livorno!

The absolute gall of this fucker. 65,000 dead and he wants to lecture people on humanity.

Pubcast: Dungeons and Flagons – Deserter Pubs, chip butties, potatoes and crisps in Boro & Bermo.

New Pubcast: Mostly about spuds and pubs.

It’s a fair question. I had to go on to the Hand & Marigold as I refuse to end an evening with a shit pint.

First visit to The Anchor Tap last night, after recording @deserterblog.bsky.social Pubcast. Beautiful pub, but Sam Smiths so terrible beer. Not even cheap anymore.

That is really worrying.
