Happy Friday everyone. Sorting out Lasagne for tea. Tucking in to an American Pale Ale β€œGamma Ray” from Beavertown whilst listening to Lambchop’s classic β€œNixon”. This week’s challenge between me and my mate was the year 2000. Best album released that year by a mile. #FridayBeers #BSkyBeer

World Book Day 2026. Had a lovely day with wee Ottilie aka The Gruffalo. Rhyme Time at Corby Library was a massive hit. As was the lunch in The Paletto Lounge.

Indeed. Was the Iranian ship posing an immediate threat? This is madness.

A walk round town today. Cut short by my painful right knee. Really struggled today. Put stop at The Knights Lodge, Corby for a pint of Abbot. As you can see it was excellent πŸ‘Œ #RollOnKneeReplacementSurgery

Cartwheels for a brilliant Irish ☘️ performance at HQ. That blue scrum cap πŸ‘Œ Gibson Park and a fellow O’Brien were all awesome. So time for a celebratory Altbier from @thornbridge.bsky.social #6Nations #BSkyBeer

Different hat, different walk, same pint! Ringwood Razor Back at The Spread Eagle Great Oakley. #BSkyBeer A fitting end to a circuit of Kingswood, Danesholme and Oakley. Heading home to see if any dogs get in to the Curling πŸ₯Œ rink. #OlympicDogs

Moving on from a couple of pints of Citra, I sampled Exmoor Gold πŸ‘Œand Brixton Pale this afternoon as Big G and myself explored the recent attraction of right wing politics in the UK. We concluded there is no attraction. It’s a cesspit. As Daltrey once sang β€œDon’t Get Fooled Again” #BSkyBeer

The album I have definitely played the most from 1970 (when I was 11) is this. It became important.
