Hello. Back from expedition to Birmingham city centre with the granddaughters. Turns out that the allure of a David Bowie tribute act in Victoria Square didn't match that of shopping at Claire's in the Bullring. So instead of listening to the local gospel choir we went on a shopping spree of overpriced plastic tat. After Claire's I was introduced to Smiggle, the inside of which resembles the aftermath of an explosion at a glittery unicorn factory. Now, I will admit that when I was the granddaughter's primary school age and our local department store opened a whole section dedicated to Hello Kitty themed school supplies and stationery, I was all over it. But that stuff was quality in comparison. Her mother and I imposed a cooldown period on the older granddaughter who was taken in with some kind of fluffy backpack in lurid colours, supposedly a bargain at £28 instead of £35. (It worked and she never mentioned the hideous thing again.) The Lizard Jubbly was everywhere (younger granddaughter was being a good republican and refused the offer of a stupid paper crown, attagirl), including the Bull of the Bullring which was wearing a crown and a royal purple and ermine cloak. Illustration of this fine example of jubilee bull:  We stopped at Five Guys to try out their milkshakes. The rest of the family all went for Lotus Biscoff flavour (reportedly good but the biscuit chunks were apparently clogging up the straw) while I opted for strawberry in the hope that it wouldn't be so sweet that I had to join Tids in the pursuit of dental work. I kept looking for any right wing fringe politicians to lob my drink at but clearly they've learnt to stay away. Four stars. I returned home in great need of a cold drink which I found in the shape of some Strongbow rosé cider. Clearly designed to get the ladies both refreshed and burping, would recommend. It paired nicely with a chicken pakora flatbread sandwich with a bit of mayo and crunchy mini cucumbers. |

amipal there, keeping quiet about his new sweet content. What's he trying to hide? amipal, keeping quiet about your new sweet content. What are you trying to hide? This you mean? youtu.be/J8aJVSy_Py0Frankly, I’m a little embarrassed. Almost 50 minutes long! I had to do numerous clear-outs of my hard disk to actually have enough room to edit this. Awful scenes. |

Taking fucking ages for a Battlefield V game to load. Two mins waiting on enough players. FFS. Having to bring up the server list like it's 2005 and join a game with space.

It was then put to her that that bottle had also come from Smiggle. Kind of defeats the purpose of not having single use plastic bottles. |

 This was the type of drinks bottle I carried around my neck on many school excursions/walking holidays. Mine was bright yellow with a red top (which doubles as a receptacle) and bearing the scant remains of some kind of decoration (black cat with white paws, I think). I do not remember a time when that decoration wasn't worn off. Filled with tea or apple juice, giving each beverage the taste of plastic and old tea and apple juice because it was difficult to clean. Also your number one source of black mould. Every child had one like that, but I think it might be a German thing? |

1 Blue bols and red lemonade
2 cloudy beer and raw egg*
3 vodka and lucozade
4 pink gin
5 red lemonade shandy
Bubbling under various absinthe concoctions, gin and gin and gin and tonic
* the egg did not filter barrier the beer**
** there may be scurrilous allegations I caused the beer to be cloudy and added the egg in a drunkenly b misguided attempt to rectify the error. I would like to confirm there is no truth to them.
Blue bols and red lemonade goes a weird colour. It also amused the bar staff. It's actually a fairly bland drink.
Red lemonade shandy looks really odd as well.

I think it would be a straightforward task to get him to try a cloudy craft beer shandy with coloured lemonade added to it.
