I'm disappointed that I missed out on all the fun of Bluesky being broken whilst I was out at work.
I'll try to recreate the moment tomorrow by attempting to post something whilst entering a tunnel.
Prawn cocktail flavour crisps.
I'm not particularly sure that 'Haggis' is a real GAA county. I'm game to start one if required…
Anyway, top pints as usual in @dogandpartridge.bsky.social
Alright! Alright! I've bought one, stop asking!
It's on my weekend off, so I'll probably show up as well.
A sign at a railway station, advising of a change to refund conditions for a range of tickets.
Unfortunately, my suggested wording of "WELL DONE IMBECILES! Thanks to your repeated piss-taking, the refund process has now been made more difficult for all concerned." was deemed unsuitable for publication.
Dalymount Park, Dublin
Up in the gods tonight. Rain no problem!
Bald Eagle beer terrace, Phibsboro, Dublin
Experiencing the great beer garden weather we've been enjoying lately.
By which, I mean, it has started raining.
Ah, the joys of streaming music services!
A moderately sized record label has removed, or let lapse, their catalogue from Qobuz. I’ve now annoyingly got lots of tracks in playlists greyed out as “unavailable”.
Question now is, to correct this, do I go back to Spotify or back to Pirate Bay?
A nice, quiet afternoon in Soho, he thought.
Check the calendar, he didn't.
Pint day at the French House.
“Fix found for air conditioning leaks on new Tyne and Wear Metro trains” under a photo of a puddle on a train floor.
A yellow mop bucket
Sorted!
Autocorrect randomly deleting words out of sentences isn't helping much either.
No, my wrath was set off by seeing a lineup of robot delivery vehicles sat outside the shops Woodseats.
There were plenty of things I could have been irritated by this morning:
- Going back work after five days off.
- Starting at 5:30am.
- Being woken up at 2:45 because my alarm clock had somehow moved an hour forwards.
A car park ticket, showing the location of 'Hollywell Far Right'
Inadvertently parked in the nationalist section of the car park earlier
The Batman and Robin slap meme… "Can I get…" "It's 'may I have', you thick wanker!"
Learn yerself customer
Lower bar, Ye Royal Oak, Chesterfield
Using up last year's annual leave in a pub.
Bluesky trending tab: "1. Glasgow Fire - Hot"
No shit
A CDC scrawled on a toilet out of service sticker, needlessly stuck to the ceiling of a train cab.
Good to see I have a great bunch of mature, sensible colleagues.
A slither/third-pint of Eviltwin BA "Today's Forecast" stout
Eviltwin's Barrel Aged "Today's Forecast" stout.
Only a cool £27/pint at the Rutland Arms in Sheffield. At 14%, a third will do just nicely…

Looks like I've got to sort out some flights to Dublin now!
Daily Telegraph homepage with headline: "Trump warns Iran: The 'big one' is coming"
Blackpool Pleasure Beach kept that quiet.
New coaster coming soon?
The ceiling of Cask & Tap, Blackpool, consisting of many brass coloured panels with various interlinked cross patterns and a large lamp
Pub ceiling…of the week!
Blackpool Tower and Central Promenade
I don't know. I spend 3 hours travelling to Paris and the weather is crap, everything is closed and instead of a bistro there's a yankee burger bar!
A 330ml can of Põhjala Õhtu porter. The label design shows a red sky sunset with some clouds.
A can of Põhjala Õhtu, from Estonia, for this evening.
Chosen because I forgot to put a beer in the fridge earlier, yet this one is marked as 'Serve 12-16°C' so just at the right temperature out of the cupboard. Some welcome synchronicity. Cheers!

A blue and white can of Brasso metal polish
Some lunchtime polishing for a Thursday.
Interesting that Brasso is only Great Britain's №1 polish, suggesting that Norn Iron has their own superior, local version that they prefer. Like with Tayto crisps, Harp lager, or Centra corner shops.
Any ideas?
I thought every week was a Belgian week at Fringe. Will next week just be a bit more Belgian-y than usual?
Unusually sweet tasting and smelling Nigerian lager beer for supper tonight. Served from what is perhaps the most beaten up returnable glass bottle I've come across. Cheers!

My passport is up for renewal, so I've had a new photo taken to send in.
For some reason, I thought that a shirt and tie was the most appropriate attire for the occasion. Got to look vaguely respectable for the border guards!
A can of NoFo Bluebird Day pilsner
Side of the can, showing an address on a trading estate in Birmingham (GB, not AL)
Czech pilsner, brewed by a US brewery, on a brewkit in the UK. Not at all confusing!

I've fortunately been saved by the outdoor market in town, but even they only had a couple left on sale.
