And you probably have...

I can think of worse places to be trapped.

Wide-eyed and legless...

How appropriate :)

New one for me, too...

I watched this series recently - it's one of those where you want the next episode straight away.

I have seen HSB pump clips on bars in the recent-ish past but yes, they are a rarity. My boycotting of ales from Fuller's has prevented me from sampling the ones I have seen. There aren't many pubs in London that shy away from stocking DB or London Pride. Give me Ringwood, Hogs Back or Ruddles :)

I'm not the world's greatest fan of DB but can't decry its popularity. I remember when Fuller's took over Gale's there were presentations where they undertook to keep the brewery open, not change anything etc. Closed it within about a year and moved production of the profitable brands to Chiswick.

I was gifted it shortly after publication and read all over 4 days. Fascinating then and now.

Never seen him and Rick Astley in the same room....

Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday to be marked by BBC with special programmes The corporation will look back on the veteran wildlife broadcaster's career for his birthday in May.

Rightly so:

If it helps, I use Mint. Stable and light on resources. I'm very much a Linux novice but have found this easier to get to grips with than other variants...

Day 59 in #WatfordGeneral Hit a real low last Sunday and almost did the unthinkable. This last week has been really, really hard to navigate, one week on I'm wondering what the bloody point is? Not really any further forward with diagnosis or treatment. I'm running out of fight.

I had no idea, thanks.

I didn't know it existed until just now. I wonder why the two versions.

Just heard a version of Caribbean Queen called European Queen, still Billy Ocean. This was being played on German radio.

Rediscovered a Dr. Hope CD, having a mellowed time listening to it.

Got out of hospital yesterday after 28 days. Now to navigate the long road to recovery.

Being kept in until at least Monday

A false alarm. Maybe tomorrow.

Rumour has it that I might get let out tomorrow.

Been in #WatfordGeneralHospital since Wednesday. The staff are brilliant but the behaviour of some patients leaves a lot to be desired.

Yes, x4. Went FTTP 3 years ago but have been VoIP for at least a decade.

I've not checked, but could it have been re-recorded for impending stereo?

Would it help if it was renamed "Drinker's Elbow"?

One thing I will take away from RomΓ’nia with me is their word for β€˜Push’ - somehow this seems so much more descriptive.

From now onwards I shall be impinging doors outwards.

I urge you all to do the same.

Unless it opens inwards & then you’d look like an idiot.

Good afternoon. πŸ’…πŸΌ

I've been wanting to watch "A Taste Of Honey" for decades. I can now strike it from the list.
