Think C4 turned your idea into Sotonians favourite new TV show

I’m in Brighton this week. Anything goes.

Can we expect staggered resignations and statements like ā€œwell, pap - he’s principled, but just a cuntā€? :lou_sunglasses:

You’ll just need to face facts, papster, you’re not leader material.

Beavertown’s core range does indeed piss all over Brewpuppy’s. Smog Rocket and Holy Cowbell in particular. Shame they don’t make as many imperial stouts.

Also if you like Bloody 'Ell, fill your boots before it sells out everywhere. No cans left down here as it’s a seasonal brew.

Beavertown was started by Robert Plant’s son Logan (and no, he didn’t have any help from daddy), which is kinda neat.

I was at a surprise party last night for ms pap’s twin aunties, both turning 60. Much effort was made, including flights from Dubai, DJs, food, balloons, banners and suchlike.

It was at a cricket club, so I ducked out of the setup to (ahem) ā€œlook for guestsā€. Caught a bit of the cricket, which seemed largely to consist of the fielding team trying to claim LBW on every fucking ball. It worked though, the bastards.

Had a few beers, nowt much in the way of quality, but enough to make me feel like I’d had enough by half eleven. Got a taxi home, went to bed. God, I’m getting old.

Giving the Bombay Sapphire/Fever Tree Tonic combo a going over this evening.

Cunts.

Bournemouth 100 sportive tomorrow

No beer for me…well may a glass of wine or two…say half a bottle…in fact probably a bit more than that…I’m fucked

I have some beers for tonight. They shall be consumed, but not to an extent where I am overly inebriated. It has been a pretty good week. Most on here know what a stubborn fucker I am. I tend to do what I’m told a bit more at work (doing what you’re told is good for keeping jobs, I’ve found) but my heckles are raised when someone abuses the word ā€œimpossibleā€.

Been working on some code to shuttle things seamlessly in and out of various environments. It ain’t easy in our place. Without going into too much detail, we have a lot of them. There are a lot of different techs involved in the solution.

There’s one bit that I was told had to stay static, because ā€œthat’s the way it worksā€. I’m not an expert at the tech (SSIS, geeks) but I look into it, and it’s essentially text files. There are about nine things that we had to actually change in each set of files to do everything we need. ā€œEr, how about we just create templates and fill it with whatever shit we need?ā€, I ask.

Anyways, finished that. Works like a fucking champ and super happy with it. It wasn’t a technically hard thing - just no-one else in the org has the idea, probs 'cos they’re all using visual designers and I’m the sort of twat who likes a rummage in a text file.

The devil is in the details, the code is in the repository and the first fucking beer I drink tonight is going to go down like an Ewok in a stormtroopers only bar.

Me, just now and so lovely put by the Bletchmeister. Sky has been really quiet all week, there’s that sporting thing in Brazil going on I guess. The football league kicks off tomorrow though and nothing from sky.

Me in a bar in Mellieha after a busy day on the beach with Mrs C_S and teenage mutants, both of which are currently skinning me alive playing 5 card stud…whatever that is, not that I care at the moment… hic. :blush:

What you on about? fulham v Newcastle is on ss1 now. Hilariously Fulham are 1-0 up at half-time. Free header from a corner.
