Gouden Carolus Tripel tonight - toast to Phil and crew.
Never nice when someone loses their job.
Cheers Phil. Good luck.

I actually have a thing for Portrait Artist of The Year on Sky Arts.
Fascinating to watch the portraits come together in many different media. 
 
Then the joy of shouting at the telly because I don’t agree with the judges!

i went to the corner gas station to pick up some smokes.  There's a lady who works there who is on amicable terms with me, we have a little chat every time we meet.  She asked me why i don't buy my smokes cheaper from the Polish stores, or somewhere.  So i can chat with you, was my reply.  She smiled so wide that i could see it through her mask and told me that i just made her day.
It's not hard to brighten up another soul's day, or ruin it.  i used to do too much of the latter, but am practicing the former. 
 

I'm too dumb to understand or enjoy chess, but Queen's Gambit was really good. I enjoyed it. Mini series too so it had my attention for long enough. 

2 things:
Kipo and the age of Wonderbeasts. Watched this with the kids and it's absolutely fabulous.
Queen's Gambit. A brilliant watch, even if you don't play chess.

Really enjoying the Undoing on Sky Atlantic.
Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman as the couple who have it all before it all comes crashing down.
Great stuff!

That's a really complex beer - so much going on. Very yeasty, very citrusy, very amber, very boozy but very enjoyable with a bit of cheese.

I have Usyk slowly working Chisora and tiring him out before either a late stoppage or UD. He'll let Chisora unload first 5 or 6 rounds and just punish the misses before taking over second half of the fight. Which is a shame because I do like Chisora but no interest in him challenging for titles now.

Finally tried Gulden Draak quadrupel at the weekend. 
Blimey that's an acquired taste. 
Alright once you're in but tastes like someone dropped a mickey finn. 
Definitely aids sleep.

I tell you now, Bielik’s gonna be back and he’s going to fold Wilson into an origami swan!
 

A thorough description of how men and women are very different. (Obviously from a woman’s perspective).
Men Are Just Happier People!
What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another service station toilet because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress - £5,000. Tux rental - £100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.
A five-day break requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is £8.95 for a three-pack. Two pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes - one colour for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache... You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24th in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier!
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in £20, even though it's only for £32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY
A man will pay £2 for a £1 item he needs.
A woman will pay £1 for a £2 item that she doesn't need, but it's on sale.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337 A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the rubbish, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

I gave up on it first time around after a couple of episodes but when it was repeated decided to give it a bit more of a chance. Well worth sticking with - you won't regret it.

I once went into a shop in Yorkshire and asked for some turps. 
The response I got was "Do you want video turps or cassette turps?" ?
