In episode 31 we took on Castle Rock Brewery.

Wow, there are some serious brewers in Nottingham.

Castle Rock are pillars of their communities, they have a great set of beers, brilliant merch, and a whole host of pubs.

Thanks for your generosity, and thanks for looking after our Nina. #nottingham

The old waste hose - with the clip still around it, fixed onto the side of the waste pipe under the sink... in the old house.

Is there no way of setting up a similar thing with this configuration? Feels like just having it loose might cause smells 🤔

Got an inlet hose still in its bag, which I assume will connect green to green. 👍

Red to red is the issue. Seems to be an open pipe under the counter at the new place, at odds with the end of the waste hose.

I could feed that waste hose down that pipe, but I'd feel better if I could secure it.

OK first new house query.

Who knows about fitting washing machines?

I can only ever remember how I last did something, and if a new situation isn't exactly like the old setup... I'm starting from scratch again... 🤔 #plumbing

Battery sock situation is way out of control.

To the big Lidl we go!

Was surprised how little Netflix has in the way of quality foreign language horror films. They used to be a safe bet come halloween.

Anyway, this was my list. Not all free - if you don't subscribe -but all serviceable including your nod to Relic.

Random of the season - Terrified on Channel 5 🤔🎃🤡👻

When you spend all day baking then your stupid fucking oven betrays you at the final stretch.

Luckily the cheese is an inch thick and the top layer can be peeled off... 🙄

Christ me.

The best I could find, on UK TV services, ahead of tomorrow's #Halloween without going too mainstream.

Some are free if you already subscribe, some shouldn't cost you more than, like £3.49 to rent, should you wish.

Show me yours! 🔪⚰️👻 #Halloween2025 #horror #HorrorMovies

We had a right old lovely time with Great Newsome beers this past month. This bitter is an absolute top-tier banger.

Have a listen in episode 30 of our little podcast, Reclining Pair

That's handy, thanks. I get me big shop delivered from there. I'll try for some. They'll probbly substitute Hoola Hoops.

I think these were the Indian Niknaks, now in Sainsburys, apparently...

Thanks to Nina for the hard slog she put into birthing this beer, and to Johnny (Phipps) for letting her near some very expensive brewing equipment.

Then this week, Johnny drove 3.5 hours up from Northampton with a few bottles, just so rob and I could taste it. Legends.

Good, good people 🙏
