Pot, kettle, black. And from such a statesman.

‘Coming Up’ criminally underrated as both a song and video - a template for much 80s electro pop musically but the Ron Mael impression is priceless and the lead vocal is pure, over-the-top, fringe quivering Bryan Ferry. #mccartney at the #bbc

"I remember as a child in South Wales swimming in sewage" Conservative MP Damian Green says water pollution from sewage dumping has always been an issue, but it used to be perceived as more acceptable #Peston

Perhaps #thearchers scriptwriter has read #redsaucebrownsauce as the delicious sounding crappit heid was discussed as a Scottish delicacy last week Felicity Cloake

Looking at the BBC TV coverage of #glastonbury this is possibly the most ridiculously untrue statement ever made in the⁦⁦⁦The Guardian⁩

Wish Barcelona passport queues had “EU plus remain voters”. “Others plus leave voters”. Seems more reasonable.

Interesting about the ultradian rhythm - I’ve often thought that 90 minutes is a limit for attention (films, length of theatre performance before an interval, etc), plus its subdivisions (45 mins is the length of a symphony or LP). theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Michael Clarke @ATJbeer Thanks Michael. Well done to Aylesbury & High Wycombe Camra.

My article in Good Beer Hunting about the pubs and breweries of #happyvalley - also known as #hebdenbridge - has been published today. Thanks to Vocation Brewery littlevalleyale and #foxandgoose for their help and #seacemerson for the brilliant photos goodbeerhunting.com/blog/2023/11/3…

A couple of weeks ago we welcomed writer Michael Clarke to the brewery. Michael was investigating the pubs and breweries of Hebden Bridge for a piece in Good Beer Hunting. It was great to be involved and you can read his article here. buff.ly/3uStEzy

Early 1980s Camden. A young singer is found unconscious through poisoning in her squat by her manager. Over a weekend he desperately tries to discover who was responsible - and why - in a race to save her and also discovering revelations about his own past #JWMeetYourMatch

Excellent cask beer tasting session from Des de Moor 🏳️‍🌈 He’s a superb speaker technically and hugely knowledgeable on cask beer. I also went on cask ale safari with him at last year’s #GBBF. The book is superb too (as are many of the recent @CAMRABooks publications).

What’s the literary reference?

Many thanks to all at Beer Writers and Good Beer Hunting for this amazing recognition. I’m currently in a very happy valley indeed.
