And Tiny Tim, who did not die, because

And Tiny Term, who could NOT be bargained with, couldn’t be reasoned with, didn’t feel pity or remorse or fear, absolutely did not stop, ever, until you were dead.

Just wanted to get this in early (as is traditional).

The treble is still on but we've got some points to make up in the league

It's A Wonderful Secret (2003)

Tonight's #notbeerbods was fuelled by Europa Conference light disappointment and Clausthaler Original, which feels like a beer but has a distracting chemical taste up front, so as almost-there as the football #bskybeer

For anyone worried AI will replace all of us. Courtesy of Gemini for the prompt “create an infographic of all the World Series winners since 1986” I dare you to find 10 things that are right.

A "kick racists out of Palace" banner id held up in the away end #CPFC

An early #notbeerbods before the evening gets busy. Changing Times Clockwork is a worthy Guinness alternative even in Dublin, smooth and very drinkable, and the Palace Bar is a very apt spot for a beer right now

Taking my @deserterblog.bsky.social Stories Dublin-style. It's true what they say, books really do taste better in Dublin. No! Wait, it's Guinness they say that about. Both seem true

20 point deduction and ban Bloom from football forever. And then salt the turf and make Lewis Dunk do 1000 hours community service. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Advent beer 4 is also a #notbeerbods beer. Jump/Ship Jackstaff IPA is fruity and decent tasting but a bit too flat. And the habanero hot sauce? Hot.

In April 1993 both D:Ream and Sting appeared on Top Of The Pops. D:Ream singer Peter Cunnah asked the former Police frontman if he'd like to stroke his springer spaniel, which he'd brought to the studio for emotional support, but Sting would only pet setters.

Advent day 2 - Nirvana AF IPA, which isn't bad but has whatever gives me dishwater vibes, and Tropical Thunder hot sauce, which I think I need to start upping the content of when cooking so I get a proper hit

It's advent calendar time! So here's Advent Day 1's haul (2 calendars, not one weird combo one) - NuWave Mood Enhancing AF Hazy Pale and a basic hot chili sauce, a gentle opener to the month

To begin with today, happy 117th anniversary to this entirely reasonable cat

#notbeerbods is CANCELLED while I drink whisky to blot out the defeat to Strasbourg. Oh OK, I had some Harvey's down the pub. But I haven't enjoyed it. Oh you know I have, it's SUSSEX Best. But the football ruined my enjoyment.

If #Arsenal best #Bayern this evening, one lucky person to RT this will win one of our sexy calendars: tufac.bigcartel.com/product/tufa...

This is incredible

It's gone nippy so let's break out the #notbeerbods stouts! Tartarus Plague Doctor is a maple pecan stout, although TBH I'm not getting a lot of maple or pecan, but a good whack of roast

One for the kids

Seriously, fuck Co-op (The beer is a very nice malty lager with some fruity red ale notes)

Probably from Burgess Hill

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

#notbeerbods is tonight powered by Stewart Lee and a can of Harvey's Best, which isn't as good as a good cask pull but isn't bad. And the beer is decent too. See? I can do jokes but I choose not to.

The mask used by Michael Myers in the film Halloween is of Captain Kirk. They also used some clothes from Star trek in that film, Will Patton wore a Nimoy shirt and Eiza Gonzalez Shatner pants.

This was going to be a Halloween #notbeerbods and then I forgot about it, so happy Friday instead! Rivington X Makemake Evil Dead has huge bags of red fruit to give it that just-bled look, and is as gluggable as any smoothie

New York just elected @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, who offers real hope, over billionaire funded opponents. In May, Sussex & Brighton will face a similar choice between real hope and real change with a @greenparty.org.uk mayor or a big money backed Reform mayor with no real plan for the future.

WoooOOOOOooooo! It's a spooky #notbeerbods Halloween Eve so I've gone dark and mysterious with New Bristol Brewery's Super Deluxe Stout, a rich mix of brown sugar, cream, vanilla and roasty goodness

#CPFC are the first club to beat another club three times, in three competitions, at three different venues in one season before the end of October. History makers.

Ismaila Sarr's double has put Crystal Palace 2-0 up at Anfield. It's now seven goals in his last nine games against Liverpool.
