One thing we didn't anticipate when we started supplying Icons bar at Edinburgh Airport was that our glassware would *constantly* be getting nicked by pilots.

While this is an old article, we told Shadow Doge about ScotGov wasting an enormous amount of public money by giving to a brewery who spent it on a forest that died and they never got back to us so 🤷

Look we may not be the sharpest bulbs in the drawer but we are at least careful not to extensively document all our crimes.

Quick question, how much do C&C have to own before a brand doesn’t qualify as indie?
Waitrose have thrown their weight behind a campaign to promote beer from genuine independent breweries, with a new ‘Indie Beer’ section on Waitrose.com and planned in-store promotions beertoday.co.uk/2026/02/02/w... #beer #beernews #indiebeer #beersales

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Just get Copilot to write the quiz then ask all the other ones the questions. Done.

Look we know the odds on this are long but just imagine if Elon Musk was on his wee spaceship to Mars and it went wrong and crashed into that vampire one who thinks he's going to live forever. Just imagine.

It's beginning to feel like handing the world to the techbros wasn't a great idea.
Hello. Are there any Google Business experts around? Google's extremely clever AI has decided to claim we have a pub quiz on tonight (we don't, it's tomorrow) and there's no obvious way to remove it (e.g. Posts, Events). Google's extremely clever AI assistant is no help either.

Cheers, but unfortunately not. We can add a post with the actual quiz details (tomorrow night, quizfans) but the AI one doesn't seem to appear anywhere editable.

The good news is that when AI makes us all redundant we'll all be able to get jobs fixing the problems it's caused because it's an utterly useless piece of shit technology created by soulless morons for no obvious reason.

Anyway, it's great that we're burning down the planet and (slightly less importantly) wasting our weekends trying to fix issues caused by this extremely great technology that's really useful and that we all asked for.

I’m heading to Scotland in March and Bluesky has given me 2 things to do just this morning - try some pochle (see below) and try @pilotbeer.co.uk’s Vessel restaurant in Edinburgh.
Apples, sourced from gardens around Edinburgh, magicked into a truly Scottish eau de vie. This week's story is about making new friends, pubs, and pochle, a spirit named after a tradition.
