Poo, Spew, Richer Than You, Cuntface, Dribble, Twat.

This is fun, but it has BBC Newsnight, LBC, Rory Stewart, Emily Maitliss and Ian Dunt under "British Progressive Voices". So now I'm wondering if those Brazillian furries are even furries.

Visiting 52 new pubs 08/52 3 Tanners Bank - North Shields - I was pretty drunk by this point, so take everything I say with a pinch of salt - Deceptively big two roomed bar - the Rum Old Fashioned was dead on, the Negroni not so much - I was the oldest person in there #Pubs #Newcastle #NorthShields

Changed my CV email address to include my full name, when recruiters confirm it back to me they all say 'Luff' and I can't be arsed correcting them. Starting to think its more hassle than it's worth and should have just kept it as B1gFatkox69 at freeserve

Apparently Heatons The Hussar and it's sister venue in Sunderland ,The Ivy House have both been acquired by Punch Taverns. #Newcastle #Heaton #Sunderland

Ten 10 Bar and Bistro has opened on Newcastles Heaton Road, I think it's next door to The Last Resort. The question is can I just pop in for a pint or is it food led ? #Newcastle #Heaton

Looks like the former Riverside - or SEA if you're an oldie - on Newcastle's Quayside has a license application for a venue called 'The River God' #Newcastle #pubs

North Shields - Lowlights It's just a lovely proper pub #NorthShields #Pubs

Pub news: Camerons Brewery has put Head of Steam Newcastle up for sale (Info via Propel)

The fight to liberalise the NI licensing laws continues

Newcastles Point Blank has closed. The bar/shooting venue opened in The Gate - which is a mass grave of 'fun' 'concept' bars Worry not! it will reopen with a new name and a cutting edge concept of VIP areas, Chillaxed Sundays and Ibiza style club nights that have proved so successful in the past

My favourite thing about IT is the meaningful plain English error messages '~~~Fgp$/interloper) failed. (+-&/0008:+-&£;") Spam box sand flange compost unicorn error to sauage shed keg ' Bung the error into google ' common error when cringe cement factory is missing it's sheep canopy'

This Saturday I'm going to try and visit 10... Yes 10 new pubs. The only problem is I have to walk past the Enigma Tap and Seven Stars to get to them So I imagine it might be no new pubs but plenty of nice beer

The excellent Mosaic Tap is on the move.. Taking over the old Prohibition Bar on Pink Lane #Newcastle #Pub

I've been diagnosed with low vitamin D which as a ginger (allergic to the sun) and a Goth(scared of the sun) is not really surprising.

Coming soon! CAMRA the movie 😬

West Moors The George Stephenson has changed hands - Again And is closed - Again And is being refurbished - Again And will reopen - Again With a focus on sport and live entertainment - Again And is closed - Again

I had a dream I was a stand up comic... My entire set involved me talking about Databases and spreadsheets. I didn't really excel at it

Printworks is reopening

A lot of noise from some pubs in NI and Hospitality Ulster around cost pressures. The same people who have stifled competition and have had their price fixing cartel protected by some shady backroom deal Fuck them.

Botomless Carling? For only £15 at The Wink. Despite The Wink, Stack and The Scrogg being a quick dander from my old flat I never dared venture in.

Another daily reminder that I am bloody ancient. Front 242s Tyranny For You was released 35 years ago

The Bridge Hotel - #Newcastle For the last 30+ years you know exactly what you're getting when you walk through the door, good beer in traditional surroundings

It's a soft awl night in #Gateshead

Just once I would like a Belfast influencer to actually dislike something

I hate cryptic social-media announcements for bar openings. “The heart of Newcastle”, which in marketing terms could mean anywhere between Felling and Alnwick So if you fancy working somewhere in an NE postcode, feel free to send them a CV with none of your details on it and see how they like it

Sign the petition to save The Marine Bar in #Whitehead Please take a moment to share it around

The Orange Spunk trumpet has promised not to use military force to take Greenland , we could all breathe a sigh of relief if he wasn't a compulsive liar who changes his mind every couple of hours. ... Anyway - Beers lush

According to The Chronic - The Grainger Tavern has reopened

Seems the app I use to schedule posts across social media channels is being temperamental. Hope you enjoy reading the same post a few times Seems the app I use to schedule posts across social media channels is being tempera.....

Some pubs in the North East are now taking a stance on AI and won’t share or display any artwork featuring generative AI (including brewery pump clips). (Posted via @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social + shared by Mean Eyed Cat in Newcastle. Artwork is by @drewmillward.bsky.social)

I keep reading Tryanuary as Tyranny.. can't think why.

Country & Coyote is due to open in January and promises to be “ #Newcastle’s first Coyote bar” I’ve no idea what that means, other than maybe Simien Jackals will have to take their business elsewhere Thanks to cryptic social media posts, I have no idea where it is, or how I can avoid it

The Bridge Tavern in #Newcastle makes an appearance in this week's @2000ad.bsky.social
