Nice. Ordered food and beer at the bar and the bill was 31€. I offered the barman a drink too and he said no thanks but for the gesture he knocked a 5€ off the bill. Top peopling! He's a lovely guy and Reload Gaming Bar is a cool place. Lots of card games, board games, PC games & consoles for free.

There's an art exhibition in the Le Halle aux Draps just under the main tower.

Never got bored of seeing the Beffroi de Douai.

Still warm enough to sit outside with a nice cold Tripel Karmeliet #BskyBeer

This is the best way to fight fascism. Fascists understand violence, and know how to respond to that… But they don’t understand mockery. Like, they want to be like “Portland is a war zone,” sooo hard, but it’s just a bunch of people in inflatable frog suits, lol

@rachael-p.bsky.social thank you for liking my post. I have issues with your bio though. Catless catlady? Catless? Get a cat! Get many cats! Unless of coutse there is a reason why you can't but that's none of my business. Get a cat!

Oh. My. God. I'm moist.

The more I see them the more I want one. Two hours free parking in our town too. #CitroënAmi

Managed a few words of Polish today for one of our delivery drivers. He beamed a big smile and gave me a beer. Having it tonight but still have to work tomorrow morning. Tomorrow night I'll have a few more I reckon. #BskyBeer

Oops. Something has just fizzled out. Sorry.

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

Got stressed. Got pissed. Now have to go home and cook. Bollocks. Two more days at work too. Fml.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Pretty, huh?

It's that time of year again!!

I agree, the trouble is it infringes people's freedom of belief. Arguably religions also prey on people's naivety and vulnerability, by telling people their loved one is happy in heaven and looking down on them, and they should go to church and pray.

Clairvoyants and psychics should be banned. It's pure predatory behaviour from people who target vulnerable people using cheap parlour tricks that have been thoroughly debunked countless times. Charlatans the lot of them.

Ah, Mr Balkoni Tumbelov, what brings you here today?

Après la gay-panic, la cis-trouille.

Harvey Price time then. In 2016, I had an ill fated stint as the Social Media Producer on Loose Women on ITV. It was a disaster, I should never have applied for the job, I certainly shouldn’t have been given it. I could do the actual job standing on my head, but the politics of the place…woof.

Good evening from Douai.

Sin City. UK rating: 18+ US rating: R (parental guidance for under 17s). French rating: 12

I bought Sin City at the braderie today for 3€. It's R rated in the US, and 18 in the UK I believe. This is France though so it's a 12 😆

Goodnight you lovely Blue Meanies* *Lovlies.

A bit of Creedence Clearwater Revival before bed. Yes.

No thank you.

Just popping by in The Love Bus - beep! Beep! All aboard! We have the best snacks and I've been baking.

Yes, but what does her husband do? 😉

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of September!

You're a lovely bunch.

Yes, that'll work.

I love my Kisbee scooter but I've been thinking about micro electric cars for the winter. I'm really interested in the Citroën Ami but I've also just discovered the Microlino. The Microlino is way too expensive but oh my god, it's bloody lovely. #EV

Absolutely loving it.

Bienvenue Chez les Ch'Tis.

these people are embarrassing! they should be embarrassed, I am embarrassed for them and I hate them! frank castle would be embarrassed and he's a fictional character!

I will again say that my favourite way of telling someone to fuck off in French (often chanted to opposition crowds at football games) is rentre chez toi, ta mère a fait des gaufres. It means "go back home, your mother made you waffles"
