NEW @otherworldbrewing1.bsky.social Tiresias oak aged Belgian quad. 10% abv. £9/44cl This arrived just before it all got crazy on Christmas Eve and kind of got lost in the activity - (which is a shame since it's the best thing I drank over the holiday)

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Finally caught up with the Pluribus finale. A great ending to a great show - but I really need to know whether they used a real goat or a cgi double for the opening scene.

I don't want to poop on everyone's party: But can we please treat funny videos of robots kicking idiots in the balls with a modicum of scepticism. ?

Hogmanay hours for Leith Walk

Alasdair Sim Scrooge, but the window is shut and he's wearing a "SICKOS" shirt. Sorry, it's all I've got and I'm too busy to waste any time doing better. Merry Christmas.
