What if the Mos Eisley cantina was an Irish pub? The house band is currently giving us that experience…

Unsurprisingly, this kilt night cask fest is full of pasty folk, half in kilts. Yes, I am one of them. Yes, I may also be tipsy.

Ooh, this brewpub has an Untappd menu board… imma just gonna check in every beer I’ve had so I can see my face multiple times across the bottom of it…

Back to back wins against City and league-leading Arsenal… is Carrick getting the job permanently? #mufc

People who walk 3-4 abreast on side walks, ignoring oncoming traffic… who hurt you?

Also: These people definitely get a solid bump from me on the way by…

An Irish pub having their staff appreciation event at a different Irish pub in the same city seems… lazy? Disingenuous?

Nothing like a sunny day to show you how badly your windows need cleaning.

Also feels weird to have my windows wide open in the middle of January.

What is that fiery ball in the sky?

Aww, baby’s first corporate card!

I really hope that the past week has been more ‘getting the shitty part of 2026 out of the way’ and less ‘setting the trend for the year’…

Starting the new year with the flu: do not recommend.

And yes, I got my shots in the autumn.

I swear, I only click on Amazon ads because I have no clue what the item is that they’re trying to sell me… either their targeting is terrible, or brilliant.

Ahh, yes. That time of the year where the entire country pins their hopes and dreams for the new year upon a bunch of acne-ridden 18 year olds…

It’s not a Team Canada game if there isn’t a boatload of unnecessary penalties…

Let’s hope those boys in the Suomi sweaters are able to…

Finnish the job.

CBC is showing coast to coast NYE celebrations… they’re all either big outdoor events or concerts/parties…

Except Vancouver, which is live from a half empty rollerskating venue at the PNE?

Nothing says ‘East Van’ like a random hellion brewery child being herded by their Instagram-wannabe parents on tot he next stop…

Watching episodes of ER for the first time… and it’s so very 90’s.

What is this mysteriously fiery ball in the sky?

Happy Christmahannukwanzaakah!

It’s officially Christmas.
December 25, 2025 at 5:10 AM
Checked out the Shipyards Christmas market for the first time… definitely like the one downtown, minus the $15-25 per head admission.

Also means you feel less guilty when you leave early due to being absolutely overcrowded!

Anyone know if LL Bean and LL Cool J are related?
