With respect to Curzon cinemas pre-film ads, what kind of monster would give a Bela Tarr box set as a Christmas gift. (I'd probably like it but I think I'm in a minority.)

That said I'm going to go to Dublin next year I think. Should probably get used to it.

I understand the appeal of Guinness but I don't understand focusing on it as some magical thing that can be kept or poured better at one establishment or another. It does the job but I don't worship at its altar.

Back on my bvllsh1t lads. A last crafty few in a lovely railway arch bar in Birmingham before I retire to bed. It's okay they have a 14% impy stout I can finish with

I've spent the day doing buzzer quizzes in a school which have mostly looked like this (pictured is the grand final, not including me), which is inexplicably an activity I seem to derive fun from. Anyway, we did win a prize (best of the third ranked teams) so that's nice.

Political debate in this country is so toxic, just imagine what wonders we'd be losing if they had their way. Like this Lahori breakfast that I fear is sized for two people.

Less chocolatey than I wanted really. But to be fair it is late at night and very cold.

Anyway, beers aside, I'm excited to be in the UK's second city.

Okay this Castle Rock collab Junimo might be my favourite so far but I really need to get back to bed because I've got a big day tomorrow. #collabageddon25

Okay I've observed the mitzvah of three pints and a plate of soss & mash in the Spoons, and now I'm heading back to hopefully try some Elusive collab beers.

Quiz people will literally travel miles outside a city, a fifteen minute walk on frozen pavements from the nearest station just so they can drink in a fvcking Spoons. Anyway it'll be nice to see people.

I've popped into a wine bar in a former public toilets called, inventively, WC, and I have to say there's a certain irony in someone drunkenly approaching me to ask where the toilets are. (I did not know but I also did not suggest he just goes wherever though.)

The crowds all crushing in. I've had to use my elbows quite a few times. It's middle class apocalypse stuff. To be fair, the wine pours are free.

I'm so used to restaurants having still and sparkling water on tap, that when they offer and then open up a bottle of Kingsdown or whatever premium brand, it's always a surprise. Like lads, mention it. I might have ordered a more expensive drink but nope fancy water's what I'm drinking now.

I quite liked ALPHA, certainly a very striking film, but it's another to add to the list of films whose poster images are also the last shot of the film.

I am a bit late to this world but I recently sort of stumbled into subscribing to a music streaming platform and now realise I can listen to an artist's entire catalogue in chronological order. As such I am now listening to the entire recorded works of... Lana Del Rey. It's a vibe for sure.
