As someone with crippling imposter syndrome and a complete lack of self-worth, to have been in operation for 5 years is quite frankly unbelievable. Thank you all so, so much - and here's to another five years of trading... and beyond!

I LOVE the logo, less keen on the top itself though - please say it is (or will be) on other clothing!

WORD FACT: the word ‘trolley’ comes from a slang shortening of the word ‘trobably’

There’s a ‘ZE’ on the side of the mug we can’t see, right?

The Spirit Specialist will be CLOSED this Tuesday 28th - it's my birthday and as a responsible 47 year old I will be celebrating in a mature manner by doing the Pac-Man Experience with my family 👻 👍

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause - I'm back open on Wednesday from 10am as normal!

You’ve never been to Yorkshire and visited the delights of Penistone then? Endless hilarity.

Finally saw Tron: Ares last night. It's objectively not a good movie, but if like me you have been ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with the franchise since the original movie you'll utterly adore it. And yet I wish wish WISH anyone but Jared fucking Leto was the lead, as it would have been 1000% better

I threw together a Tron sequel background for my laptop this morning, if anyone else wants to (Bio-Digital) jazz up their PC background feel free to use it! I have a 16:9 version too but it's not quite as good 🤷
