An oldy but started watching Still Game on Netflix over lockdown, just to watch something less intense and it’s perfect. Just a daft and funny sitcom with a wee bit of heart. Lovely stuff and easy going. Final series is only on iplayer though at the moment.

Series 1 is perfection, series 2 and 3 imo are very near perfection but don’t quite hit the height of series 1.
Detectorists is comfortably one of the best shows of the last decade. 

I thought I'd set your expectations low then you may be pleasantly surprised. (as I say to the wife but, I still seem to disappoint?)

For those who like the true crime stuff the unabomber doc on Netflix is worth a watch. Didn’t know much about it him going but it really goes into a good amount of detail of his psyche and how we was able to get away with it. 
 

If anybody is going to the festival at Roundabout then check out Peak Ales new venture Off Peak. I know PA are there so presume they will be selling some.They had a Meet The Brewer night at The Joiners in Bakewell a few weeks back where they showed off the new brews and they are quite excellent.

Stockbridge Tap or Kay's bar

Molson Coors. So yes we have Carling, but we do have a lot of better stuff too!

@TuffLuff wasn't actually joking. I work for a brewery in dispense side of things, and that is literally what that is. When bubbles cling to the side like that, it means the glass is dirty, usually greasy. Likely caused by washing them with things like coffee cups instead of in a glass washer with other glasses. Means your pint will go flat very quickly, and it's just a bit unappetising.

Take that back, that glass is greasy as anything. That's disgusting.

Footballs back! Here’s to Saturday train journeys and buying cans from M&S that are a little too expensive for comfort 

Did you neck the vinegar @TuffLuff? A cider chaser

Missing the game today as I’m on a ferry in the Hebrides. This, along with the views, are helping me through though

I'd just watch the last 15-20 minutes if I were you.

Veltins nearly became the lager of choice in a lot of pubs I went to. Used to really like it then had a couple of shocking pints in a row which put me off and it was eventually replaced. I presume like most lagers* it’s not the easiest to keep at its very best and eventually gave up on it. It’s now really been replaced with Birra Moretti. A similar thing happened with Freedom Lager too, although I’ve started seeing that again in a few places.
*quick clarification, im not sure how true the ‘lagers are difficult to keep’ bit is. A landlord once said to me that Stella needed to be kept at a certain temp for it to be at its best and in fairness that Stella Artois was one of the best I’ve had

Had this one for the first time while in Spain.  Excellent beer, a bit bitter.
 

All reports seem to say he had a good game, so I’m made up for him especially. Have to applaud how he, Mount and Wilson have taken to the Prem so far and hopefully it continues.
 
(maybe not the night to say this for most Derby fans though...)

I went to the UK premiere of the Diego Maradona doc last night (it opened up the Sheffield Doc Fest, I wasn’t invited or anything) and got to say I really enjoyed it. The theme running through it is about him having two very split personalities and how one took over the other during his time at Napoli, which eventually leads to his downfall. Worth a watch, from the same guy who did ‘Amy’ and ‘Senna’

Didn’t we have a thread like this once? Couldn’t find it so thought I’d start a new one (sorry if I missed it, please just add this to it if so!)
Anyway, seen this band twice now and blown me away both times. Know we have a few people who like punk etc so thought I’d try this out. 
FFO post punk, talking heads, Eno

Straight from Nashville Tennessee, Peanut Butter Milk Stout, who said the Americans can’t brew beer?

Here's the website and tentative beer  menu - looks decent, just hope they don't get too much drunken overspill from the sports bar across the road

Got back from the game, wanted to go to the pub but was too sad so went home and opened this.
Ink & Dagger Modern Day IPA 6.5%. For saying I got it because I thought the design was cool it’s pretty tasty. Loses a point for being one of those weird cans that you pull the whole top off.
Cheers everyone ?
