Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Nothing special but doing the trick
Arrowroot? Things got fancy since my boys were small.
I don't think I'd hate that either.
Undeniably
What does it say about me that I couldn't be happier with my Christmas gifts and that those gifts were primarily quality knitwear and Scotch whisky?
It's a real problem.
A golden retriever looking longingly at a glass of whiskey and ginger.
My dog has a drink problem. (In truth she just wants the ice from the glass)
A bottle of Arran Scotch
Nice dram for a quiet evening. Spicey cask strength. Needs a drop of water.
My dog. Being needy.
My dog has some personal space issues
I was amazed to hear that Jeremy Brett trained himself out of a rhoticism to perform the perfect diction he became famous for in his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.
Pint of 12 days porter
Not a pint of Guinness at Wetherspoons
Who had €4.95 in the price of a pint of Guinness lottery at 'Spoons?
I recall now. Enjoy!
Forgive my ignorance, but why do you undertake this pilgrimage? I feel I knew why at some point in the past.
Bernese/golden retriever mix puppy
New cuteness level unlocked. I present to you Apollo, my friend's Bernese mountain dog/golden retriever mix puppy. He'll definitely grow into that name.
660ml bottle of Staropramen
These 660ml bottles are quite satisfying. Big draft from the glass and then top that bad boy right back up again.
Dublin docks at sunrise
Seems there are some benefits to being up early for a my son's hurling match.
Well, that's a different matter!
I've taken that bus home. It is indeed a long and convoluted tour of sunny Swords and it's environs.
I'd rather yours...
Leaping into the afternoon.
I'm way ahead of you. Brooklyn Pulp Art is helping. Switch of venue though.
Please stop. There are any number of promontories I can hurl myself from around here.
I don't want to live in a world like that. Beer was once one of the old reliables.
True. There are others available. Your understanding of beer geopolitics far exceeds mine.
Glass of Kwak rouge
Turns out 'rouge' means cherries in Kwak speak. I anticipated a darker malt version of their classic. Not complaining. Bit at 8% abv it needs some respect.
Beer mat from Au Bureau, pub in Nice, France.
Can confirm.
Kwak's work around for the elimination of their wooden trug. Can't say I saw too many half litre capacity trugs, though.
Wrasslers replacement? High praise indeed! Where did you buy it?
