2026-10-26T13:55:04Z

Commercial beer breweries should have to stop brewing when there are hosepipe bans. It takes 8-10 pints of water to make each pint of beer. That's too much waste for shitty commercial beers. Drink water, tea, or coffee until we have rain again.

2026-10-24T07:55:05Z

Folk music represents the best culture of Great Britain. It's not "my place is better than your place", it's "I've got a song about a great place I love" and "let's all have a jam down the pub". It transcends our home nation borders and is delightful.
