Popped open one of these cheeky little stubby bad boys once they arrived. The initial very strong sweetness upon first huff reminds me a great deal of Brother's toffee-apple cider, flavour is not-too-tart pineapple followed by a decent throat-burn from all the rum. Definitely love these!
Something very tantalizing discovered on Amazon last night, friends. Tiny cans of pineapple rum punch! I've bought us a case of 12 for quite a reasonable sum, and will be taking delivery on Thursday, as we might be going out on a little trip tomorrow afternoon.

I recently inherited an old 1981 card game called Dragonmaster that features superb art by Bob Pepper (1938-2019). High quality scans of the deck below.
Not sci-fi but seems like an artist @70sscifiart.bsky.social might know more about?

Starting to have some fun with the Story mode fights of Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves. There's some fightin' guys that are certainly in my personal #BoyStable, absolutely Gato, Dong-Hwan and Joe Higashi.

An interesting experiment to have with a pizza for dinner this evening. This'll be the first time I've ever tried one of the particular brand in question, so if it's nice I'll be looking forward to trying others in the line.

Since everything that ruined Twitter is still going on, and it might even become banned in the UK, I have made the very easy decision to deactivate that old account until further notice. So from now on, I'll just be here and occasionally around the Ashens Discord channel.

@cheapshow.bsky.social @e-loud.bsky.social Fuck me, lads. The seasoning on these crunchy "Fire Tots" (half the length of a Wotsit/Cheeto, but girthier!) is violently 🌶️⚠️ Nice vinegar-cayenne balance in the hot sauce flavour, could just do with a blue cheese to smooth out the burn at the end.

Something really special came through the post for me today, dear friends. Two 650ml cans, direct from Juicy Jeremy's Sody-Pop Shoppe, of Brooklyn-style Chocolate Egg Cream soda. Sort of a fizzy milky chocolate, made with really good chocolate syrup.

Stupid ban. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq5y2vzlyldo
Won’t achieve its aims. It will reduce the money available to UK broadcasters to create content. Banning similar ads around kids shows didn’t reduce the junk food market, just meant that there’s very minimal UK production of kids TV now.

Junk food advert ban set to come into force
The government hopes a ban on junk food adverts will prompt manufacturers to develop healthier recipes.

Rather a fascinating little selection of extra treats & goodies to supplement the traditional Christmas haul. A decent mix of old favourites and new interesting things from those nice people at American Fizz.

Put together another set of shelves to house my collection of various physical media in my bedroom. Don't need the brackets that fix it into a wall alcove, got all my stuff moved and stored neatly in my own personal filing system. No messing.
