Know there is a German word for the glasses of beer, but for the life of me, I can't remember it
December 19, 2025 at 4:02 PM
What you do see here is people walking around with glasses of beer, which I have never seen in Edinburgh

First thoughts was that the Birmingham Christmas Market was a bit crap compared to Edinburgh. However get up to the city hall square & it seems okay.

All right going downstairs.
Just going up, I can't do. Not 3 flights
December 19, 2025 at 3:47 PM
On 3rd floor. Don't like using lifts, but think might have too.
Can't or don't like going up stairs nowadays

Spoons Hotel in Birmingham. Seems good. Couldn't hear what she said when I checked in, so hope I didn't miss anything important. Have had food and a couple of ciders.
Quick butchers at the German Christmas Market they have here now.

Sitting on the train up to Birmingham. Got stressed out as trains up to London were cancelled and running late. Worried I would miss my booked train. Made it okay after a nervous breakdown and a heart attack.

My god ,Celtic. Wilfred Nancy is going to get slaughtered. If he thought it was bad last week. He's seen nothing yet. Too lose 3 games on the trot. One being a cup final against St. Mirren, which they would expect to win on their sleep

If you were a Leeds or a Brentford fan, you would be expecting/hoping to get something from this game
