That's cool, apologies to Matthew for forgetting the third musketeer amongst your beer drinking trio.

Niceeeee....

Enjoy your beers Keef, looks like you are well stocked up for Christmas, hopefully Carl has enough beers in stock as well.

They look fantastic 😍

Yeah Loz has enjoyed it but she's got ten of her beers in the fridge as you don't always fancy a large strong Impy Stout. You could mix it up a bit with Mrs P some chocolate, marzipan, wine, fancy nuts, thinking about it Loz would have quite liked marzipan and smoked nuts mmhhhh..🤔 next year.

Yeah same here but only the once, between Christmas and New Year a few years ago, sadly the last time we saw Max 😢 but we had a lovely evening chatting with him.

Cheers Florian, it was very pleasant 🍻

I think that I've heard of her, is she a CBeebies character? Looks like a Rosie and Jim thing but anyway I have heard of her

Ah okay, sorry, easy mistake to make.

The Jesters Hat?

A Mock Tudor Brewers Fayre on the edge of a new housing estate and your drinking a Madri having just ordered a Classic Cottage Pie.

This game is too easy 🤣

In some respects I think the phrase fits nicely but in many others sadly not. It's something I heard more in the UK than I've ever heard here. Tbf to the locals I'm not convinced they would wholeheartedly recognise this slogan across a good many sectors

Sadly I think not they're super keen to return to sender & almost glee in telling me return procedure cannot be halted.

I'll tell you what I think the issue is, it appears I'm on that absolute periphery of that despatch location, over 2 hours, the driver simply has no interest in making the drop.

I’m furious. They now claim they tried to contact me on 3 occasions — complete lies. No attempt was made. Same thing a couple of years ago: they falsely said I refused a damaged parcel. I complained and it was delivered intact the next day.

Due a beer parcel delivery gift from good friends at Kykao brewery, Patras, Greece, FedEx last Thurs', in all day no delivery, email now Mon' in all day no deliver, email will deliver Tues (yesterday), I msg them to deliver Thurs or leave with neighbour, they now tell me it's wet & undeliverable 😡

That looks like a great night 🍻

Here's ours (me and my wife Loz) I think had Tidal left it until the end of December, then Tortoise - Touch, and also Call Super: A Rhythm Protects One might have been in there as they've been played to depth the last couple of weeks. With honourable mentions to Anna von Hausswolff & Just Mustard

Heidi Berry - North shore train, yeah okay, she's probably one of the lesser known artists on that album but I bought her album on the back of listening to North Shore Train a fab' song.

I've got that one as well, agree with you it's a great compilation 👍🏼

Colder now after the very warm spell in early Dec', but it’s dry. Even here on the edge of the Alps in Salzburg, & throughout train journey from Munich to Salzburg, there’s almost no snow on the ground. The garage near where we live said it could be first snow-free xmas in our area for 15 years.
