Tonight's beverage. Sensation is akin to being lightly concussed by a bag of demerara sugar

440ml can of Arbor Ales x Favourite Beers "Brewer Breakfast" Imperial Stout. 11 and a half percent of mist and mellow fruitfulness. 5.1 of your English units. Self identifies as a "Decadent Imperial stout brewed with cacao nibs, vanilla, molasses and black treacle".

I could play this game all afternoon

Small steam powered cargo ship "Clyde puffer", officially "Victualling Inshore Cruiser No. 32", known as a "VIC"

English Electric prototype 3300hp diesel locomotive, containing two Napier two-stroke opposed piston power units, which is a long name for an engine, so his friends just called him "DELTIC"

White Star Line Trans-Atlantic ship "RMS Olympic"

Unsolicited Picc - Vic pic (demic, sic)

1971 artists impression of the cross-Manchester "Picc - Vic" underground line, looking not dissimilar to the aluminium Victoria Line tube stock trains on London Underground

Reminds me of the classic call to Saltley signal box that always cheers me up.

I was attempting a "Re-record, not fade away joke". It wasn't a very funny joke

There's a small Cuneo-esque cameo in the bread as part of our church's Harvest Thanksgiving service

Display of fruits, vegetables and bread as part of a Harvest Thanksgiving display at the front of a non-conformist church building. An overhead projected sign says "WELCOME"

Close up on the bread, shaped as a stook of wheat, tied with a rope

A small harvest mouse, made of bread, as part of the display

Was on a package holiday and the coach drive was listening to some weird accordion music album, and then the backing track to this came on. Realisation slowly spread around the coach. Surreal #totp
