“A distinctly British approach to artificial intelligence”

I am in The Pub™. You have 65 minutes to play whatever nonsense you would like, to people you have never met, before tonight's live act hits the stage. Go wild!

Would it be bad for me to say the app is called NSM Play, and the venue is the Derby Tup, Chesterfield? I'm sure nobody will pay 50p a go to play silly tunes to all who are present! 🤣

Oh great. I'd moved onto another pub and Droney McCuntface has now shown up here.

Current status: being bored shitless by a bunch of tickers droning on about beer festivals, pricing, getting "gen" and their lists of ticked beers. I wouldn't mind so much, but I am sat on the other side the pub and I can still hear their whining from 25 yards away.

As I never made it over to Dublin and am now back in (not quite) Yorkshire, it is befitting that I have a Yorkshire stout on hand to commiserate my failed trip! untp.beer/DMqaO

Despite best endeavours, the weather has certainly written off my weekend plans. Ferries off both today and tomorrow because of the storms. I suppose I'll just enjoy the time off work and stick the match on the TV later.

Unbelievably, my leave request for this weekend has been granted. One more!

For possibly the final time in this guise…hold me now!

Absolutely raging! Dropped my cap on the Luas and not noticed until it's gone off. (Ordered half a dozen more off eBay. No YCC rose on them though, but I'll survive)

Guess which idiot didn't check what they were working on Thursday before booking an early morning flight on Friday? Hint:

Lunch is buggered as the mince for the bolognese has gone manky. Time to break the emergency pizza out the freezer, I suppose!

Next in our continuing series of 'Strange Coloured Liquids That Claim To Be Beer'…Australian ice cream sour. It was rather good, actually. untp.beer/lN8Am

HELL YEAH! The pub has installed a jukebox, which is also app operated. I can inflict my niche musical tastes on my fellow patrons without getting up and making it obvious that it's me who is putting random shit on the tannoy!

Relevant newspaper article for this particular moment in time…of the week!

What with it being unseasonably warm today, this probably wasn’t that mad an idea after all.

That's the car's air con all re-gassed and working again. Just in time for winter!

Against my better judgement, I’m off out to Newcastle for the day. I’ve even forked out for a first class upgrade, purely for the pleasure of watching everyone trudge down past the carriage towards scum class.

Breakfast service has arrived: bacon roll and coffee, both seemingly heated using a nuclear reactor in the galley.

Sheffield vittles. (Yes, I am aware KI is now brewed in Bakewell. I don't care. The crisps probably come outwith the city too, I wouldn't be surprised.)

Sure thing, kid. If your dad is really a millionaire, I'm sure he'd find you something better to do than hang around on a railway station in your Sports Direct trakkies on a wet Wednesday evening.

Nothing says "Welcome to Huddersfield" as well as a rook tearing the head off a dead pigeon, in the middle of the platform, just as the train rolls into the station.

I know I have previously stated that novelty beers are often disappointing. However, this one is pleasant enough. To be fair, it was on clearance and I needed one item to trigger a "buy beer, get bonus points" supermarket offer I had outstanding! #beer #bskybeer untp.beer/dc97de4aff

It is showering heavily in Amsterdam. I'll wait it out here. I have bought a coat, but still…
