@matoswk.bsky.social hepped me to/reminded me of this sick as hell Greg Wilson mix; it opens on an all time faves (Candido's "Jingo") and it's not even the bit that got the biggest cackle out of me; I think it's the part I'm listening to now that "Blind" has segued into the Clash's "Mustapha Dance"

I agree with you though. Can be a lottery and no guarantee that where was good 6 months ago will be good when you go back. We are lucky around the Macc area, a few viable and great indy breweries with solid pubs to support

Interested to know where you mean. In our corner of rural cheshire we’ve had a bit of recent turnover that has mainly been for good. 3 pubs flipped to great cask, 1 gone the other way. +2 swing is good but very fragile seeing how empty the pubs can be

Private Eye had this interesting bit about his Lib Dem days. Probably misses the mark on your objective point though

I’d read cops and robbers to my lad tonight 😢. Ahlbergs are the best, Peepo makes me cry

Ah no, the one on hillgate? There wasn’t much in last time I went in, they gave my lad a toy bus though 🙂
