This is a lovely piece on a very weird pub; once went there for a gig and heard some screaming in the kitchen. The landlady then emerged, forcibly marching out a very large sheep standing up on its hind legs.
lovely story from @robynvinter.bsky.social courageously reporting from a snowed-in pub in Yorkshire www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I’m using my first post here to say that Blackburn #Rovers have now won 5 in a row, kept 4 clean sheets in a row, are 5th in the league, and — most surprisingly — Makhtar Gueye has finally scored. Chuffin’ ‘eck!
