Does look really good mind. Made this again tonight - it's worth a repost for being simple yet bloody nice:

No, it's a Paddy Power special, 4/1. Might get better elsewhere but I was too lazy to head to Oddschecker. Aye, and he's obviously a big occasion sprinter. I'd say the 100m is more of an achilles heel for him, hence the extra lay as a bit of insurance. And I'm a massive athletics fan so frankly if he proves me wrong and decimates the field in a ridiculous time then I won't mind losing the cash anyway. Well, much.

Sneaky £25 on Yohan Blake to win both the 100m and 200m at the Olympics (plus a further £25 laying Bolt in the 100m).

Two thumbs up for the Biscuit Factory after a smashing lunch there yesterday. Utterly gorgeous pork belly. (See, Fisty, don't say I never pay you any compliments. The food was canny too)

Some of them are a bit

And, primarily, #3 photograph it as if it's worth sharing. I might submit it to http://ratemypoo.com/

COME ON TIMS!

Can't remember if this has been posted before elsewhere, but it's a heck of a tale: http://www.utsalumni.org/news/how-one-man-escaped-from-a-north-korean-prison-camp-3549/

Someone in WH Smith isn't a fan.

Murderer.

Had never really investigated The The, other than his/their occasional forays into chartland back when I was a TOTP aficionado. Gave "Dusk" a Spotify spin last night and I'll definitely be back for more.

Tom Waits is the daddy. But John Darnielle (Mountain Goats) runs him close.

Worked my way through a duty-free bottle of Jura Diurach's Own (with a friend!) over four nights on holiday. Very, very nice indeed. Easy drinking. http://www.aspiringgentleman.com/scotch/scotch-reviews/isle-of-jura-diurachs-own-16-years/

Aww, that's just brilliant.

I'm a traditionalist. If it's not pear then it's not Kopparberg, no matter how much they try to besmirch the brand with such variants.

The obvious pun machine was obstructed by several days of holiday. Normal service will now be resumed.

If that's what you need to make it taste like pear cider, there's something very wrong in your brewing process somewhere.

No need to be rude, it was an honest question

Just got back from four days on, in and around the Swiss end of Lake Maggiore. Lovely part of the world and not a bad place to kick back with a beer and just relax (if you can ignore the Swissness of it all).

Still in the spare room at my parents' place, still basically working. Not entirely sure why (on either count).

Magnificent

I was in Lincoln for the first time the other weekend, thought it seemed really quite nice. But aye, I can see how you'd grow out of it.

Been better - just been woken by a text telling me that my flight's been cancelled. They've rebooked me but it means losing the first daytime of a four-day holiday. Oh well. Must think happy thoughts about the wine at the other end.

Oh, I don't know... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl7UpnEh7H4

I really need to get some image editing software that isn't from 1998.
