I'm not sure there's actually any difference between the regular and this one. Not that I've tried the regular one since I first saw it many years ago. I'll not be trying the AF one

I actually just took this picture about 15 minutes before seeing this post. Probably about a quarter of a century old. Might dust it down and stick it in the fridge. Almost certainly undrinkable. But I'll do the sniff test anyway and see

Well Fired from Loch Leven - Rauch Pale Ale. Very pleasant and in good condition at One Canon in Edinburgh. Lovely little pub with a top beer selection

Another regular v alcohol free blind tasting today with Tegernsee Hell. Unlike the Augustiner one I did a few weeks ago, this was quite easy, and I was very confident in choosing between them.

Hadn't actually heard of zebra striping until reading a blog post today. And then about half an hour later I see another reference to it.

There is very little progress at the Crooked House, unfortunately, but it seemed prudent to remind everyone of it. Nearly three years on and we are still waiting for action.

Piwna Stopa, Poznan 🇵🇱 4th visit. I'm still in love with this bar, one of *the* best pubs in continental Europe. Not only does it tick boxes, it excels in so many ways that can't feature on a Bluesky post. Not really altered since 2015 and 2024 visits - and thank heavens for that ❤️🍻👍

The German SPD (social democrats), greens and Die Linke (leftist party) are leaving X in a coordinated action. The Green leadership is even deactivating their accounts.
Was lange währt, wird endlich gut:
SPD, Grüne und Linke verlassen gemeinsam die Plattform X - mit den Partei- und Fraktionsaccounts.
Dazu legen bei den Grünen auch die jeweiligen Vorstände ihre Accounts still.
Das ist es, was es gebraucht hat, um X in den totalen Relevanzverlust zu schicken.

A dozen sign-holders have shown up outside Woolwich Crown Court today.
This is in response to the Met’s draconian restrictions on yesterday’s peaceful (and totally lawful) vigil outside Woolwich Crown Court, where two sign-holders were unlawfully arrested.

Quite right, get off your lazy arse and go get your own food. You're not creating any sort of positive employment
Human trafficking complaint filed against Uber Eats and Deliveroo in France. Good.
Everyone who uses those slave drivers for "convenience" is complicit in their exploitation of vulnerable people. So don't.
