80s stuff, Duran, booze (preferably on the dark side) and CPFC, really.
Here you go, have a pre-boozing Friday afternoon banger.

Stunning performance from ABC last night in Southend - Anne Dudley’s orchestral arrangement a particular highlight. And All Of My Heart absolutely remains in my Top 5 songs from the 80s.

Only ever had it in a can over Christmas before, but on draft this Festive Star by Northern Monk is incredible. Massive hit of cinnamon. A-grade porter #Bskybeer

En route to Manchester for the Duran Halloween gig and accidentally brought a glass and beer for the train. Never-too-early cheers all 🍻 #Bskybeer

Sorry about the near-empty glass, but I just got carried away… Amazing porter. Happy Friday boozing everyone 🍻 #Bskybeer

Two new big hitters at Tesco! Will have to wait until Friday evening with some TOTP to indulge, though. Some people disapprove of that kind of thing on a Wednesday morning with a school run later.

@travisbl.bsky.social Well done Everton - the hoodoo continues! Writing was on the wall after that Mateta miss. Oh well. A roast and some mild boozing will sort me out 🍻

@matthew-wright.bsky.social How on Earth do you put up with people like Pat on your LBC show?! Yuk. (Up the Palace btw!)

Celebrating a Palace win with my first Oktoberfest beer from the Lidl briefcase of booze. Cheers all 🍻 #Bskybeer

We’re probably at the stage where we need to treat Reformers in the same way as flat Earthers.

Just a flawless song.

Was unable to resist this DIPA with can packaging like that… Cheers all 🍻 #bskybeer

Slowly getting through as much of the dark stuff as possible… Loving the #GBBF on a weekday

Weighing up a solo trip to the #GBBF tomorrow…

A delightful 6% American IPA at the Old Fishing Shack in Paphos. If you’re ever in the area, do pay a visit before it goes (owner has it up for sale). Cheers all 🍻 #Bskybeer

Obligatory balcony beer. (No stouts available, unfortunately.) #Bskybeer
