Another book about pubs - anyone would think I'm obsessed Inns and Taverns of North Shields by Charlie Steel #pubs #NorthSheilds

Assassination, rigged elections, troops on the streets, oppressing dissenting voices, attacking outsiders, control of the media, Tech oligarchs riding roughshod over everything. I really should watch #Babylon5 again. 'When the avalanche has started it's too late for the pebbles to vote' #B5

I huffed a free thinking, free speech absolutist, right wing conspiracy nut because I was belittling his views as part of a vendetta I've had against him since he made me cry 37 years ago The irony of this vendetta conspiracy and that I'm not allowed to voice an opinion is completely lost on him

This should definitely become a thing! 😂🔊🔊🔊 Play it on the streets! Play it from your windows! Play it from your cars! Whenever you see them! ... They all know what it means, and it really gets to them! [SOUND ON 🔊]

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Gonna write some brief troll mitigation tips for you all because like any successful, happy woman on the internet, i’ve had ‘em Tips break down into two main areas: 1. Defensive tactics: how not to make it easy for them 2. Offensive tactics: fuck ‘em up 🧵:

Mrs Beerbore is making me a Sackboy. Can I make an adorable child friendly gaming mascot sinister? Of course I can #Playstation

First day at my new job as a trepanning patient & I’m bored out of my skull

Newcastle is an incredibly cool looking city

I decided to use AI to write some automation tests and gave it very clear instructions on what I wanted and formatting which after the second test it ignored and I've trawled through the code and it is at least 90% bollocks Think I'll stick to letting it find my missing commas

Measure twice Buy once Unless you're me Take a guess Dont check the size on the website Then be stuck with 28kg of fire resistant plaster board, that I'll refuse to throw out and I'll end up leaving it to me grandkids

Belfast Haymarket is expanding it's footprint - the bar on the site of a former shopping arcade is opening a cocktail bar, live music venue and a sports bar. Expect Rockshore, Turkey Teeth and tastefully implemented artificial grass #LiveLaughLoathe

it's real support from actual racists

My favourite pic of the Red Arrows from Tynemouth Priory this afternoon. #GNR

Annual pilgrimage to the #Portrush Beer Festival confirmed Hopefully I'll get the chance to pop into the #Lacada taproom when I'm there

I bloody love 80/- it's tasty brown beer flavoured beer.

Me trying to go for a quiet pint

I like to start my day off on a positive note, by reading linkedin and being thankful that I'm not a twat.

A jury of my peers? TWELVE murderers?!

Failed miserably once again, One photo

Right gonna try this influencing thing again by going round a few pubs along the coast , take some photos and enthusiastically gush about the pubs. Which to be fair isn't going to be difficult because the route includes The Steam Boat, Enigma, The Seven Stars and The Dog and Rabbit

Assemble, the sister café/bar of Heaton’s House, opens at 3 Old Eldon Square on 28th August. www.instagram.com/assemble_ncl...

Today we say farewell to Buttons the Guinea pig. Taken too soon

My disappointment at The Blue Bell was salved by a dander up to Luckies. Great beer and an absolutely mint Bluegrass performer.

We don’t like milkshake IPAs because they start off seeming a bit sweet but basically harmless fun, like Ted Lasso, then as you work your way through they become so cloyingly deliberately saccharine that you despise every second and hate yourself for ever liking it in the first place, like Ted Lasso

I regularly drank in Jesmond Vales The Blue Bell - squat against the hill, two roomed low ceilinged thick walls and cosy. Reminiscent of The Lowlights. 15 years ago they refurbed it into an open plan Hungry Horse looking pub I popped in yesterday to see if it had improved - it hadn't

A new Heaton Micropub - first announced back in August 2024 - the Trewhitt Road boozer has finally been granted planning permission with work starting in January 2026. You can follow the journey from a Home to a pub here #pub #Heaton #Newcastle

Last year I managed to get my hands on a Bernie Carol ' #Newcastle and #Tyneside #pub crawl' poster from 2001. It was wrecked. stained,ripped and with significant yellowing, so I decided to tidy it up Finally decided to get it enlarged and printed on glossy paper Looks pretty good

PEEL IT BACK 2025 NORTH AMERICAN LEG AUGUST 17TH • ST. PAUL, MN “CLOSER” (LIVE FROM B-STAGE) SEE YOU TONIGHT CHICAGO. youtube.com/shorts/rEQ89...

I used to go out to work with my 'Rentokil-man' Da and had access to places the public never saw. One autumn morning, 35 years ago, we dandered around Stormont - the then mothballed parliament building - and had a cuppa in Stormont Castle I hadn't been back until last week*

Things you don't need, but you gotta have #AsYouCommand #Soundwave #Decepticons

Every day I go on #LinkedIn, and every day it motivates me not to be the twat who attends IT conferences to take photos of PowerPoint slides.

Year of The (Cat) Snake - West Coast DIPA. Whereas this was bloody lovely dry as sticks, crisp and surprisingly sweet.. bate it down me in 5 minutes.

Hanami - Cherry Blossom Mild Ale. Not a fan, tastes like an old people's home ( Floral, TCP, mouldy grass)

Finally moved all scattered beer collection into The Shed. Turns out I have 76 beers from my Fellowship of the Beer sub to get through. Started with this You Ripa! - Red Rye IPA 8% #Beer #Pubs #SteamMachine

According to 'I Love North Shields' FB page work has started on restoring The Magnesia Bank for it to re-opening as a boozer. During its glory days - The Maggy Bank had cracking beer and excellent Sunday dinners In the years running up to its closure it was - for want of a better term - shit

According to The Lochside Facebook page High Heaton boozer is closing for 'a little while'. No clear indication of why it's closing or when it will be re-opening. The Lochside website seems to point towards it now being a 'Punch' ran boozer rather than a Black Rose pub

Voice control is shit if you have a Belfast accent 'Opin Parrpoint' 'I'm Sorry you do not have Pro-Paint installed on your device'

I'm crap at 'influencing' - 4* photos in The Crown - 1 in The Morning Star - 1 in The Deers Head - 2 outside The Sunflower - 3* in Orisha/Voodoo - 2 of a bin on Fountain street - 6 of the inside of my pocket *My daughter insisted I take them again because she thought she looked 'Derpy'

Briefly the highest beer bore sticker in the UK. I removed it straight after i took the photo because I'm not a hallion.

To summarise my school record of achievement - average at everything - mostly not a twat - will probably do alright at stuff

Off to Belfast on Thursday - gonna try and be a proper travel/beer influencer and be overly excitable about some mediocre pubs.

In the August 1993 issue of Super Play they reported that the #Nintendo #SNES CD add-on, developed with #Sony, had been scrapped because the market wasn’t ready. The rest, as they say, is history.

I don't like Glam, Death or speed they are all
