All of it. I have no Brexit worries.
Well I have €25 in cash which will be worth more than a lottery win soon.
4 German quaffing beers*. I had more...
Grimbergen case
Afflighem case
3 Chimay Rouge
3 Chimany Blanc
3 Chimay Bleu
Petrus (beer not wine)
Another dozen or so big bottles (Vieux Lille, Popperinge, St Landelin etc) A mix of Belgian and French blonde biere de degustation.
And some cheap red. Mostly Rhone stuff.
The trip has barely cost anything as if I bought equivalent wine and beer here it would cost a bloody fortune. The Chimay is about 1/3 price it is here.
Except it might encourage me to drink more.
* I already have some Paulaner bought cheapish in Waitrose.
Not as cheap as Netto though 8 0.5l bottles for less than €5. I would have bought the store out except it didn't have any parking and I'd probably not have been popular with the alkies drinking outside it.

Oh and some Pelforth.
This makes it sound like I am a raging alkie.
Nothing could be further from the truth. I am mostly a placid and happy drunk.

I didn't even really go for the booze.
I mean I did, but it was secondary. Something to take advantage of while there.
I wanted to go before Brexit. My own little go fuck yourselves to the leaver shitheads. I know none of them will be aware* of it but it is the thought that counts.

Sekiro is not here.
This is disappointing.
I was told on Friday it had been delivered. I had tried to delay delivery until today, but it was not possible.
Most likely my neighbour has it. I was back a bit late to ask.
If not I will send all my empties to Yodel. Postage unpaid.

Twitter mate. Great for that sort of shit. Though I frequently wish to smash my phone.
Games. Not really. Bit of inventory/loadout management and took advantage of the last day of 25% off ps+.
TV. None, though I've the 2nd episode of the new Billions for the next train.
OTTM.
Fuck Brexit. Fuck it and fuck everyone who voted for it. England is no longer an empire you wankers.

Quiet in here this morning.
Games: no.
OTTM: no.
Stadia: still don't like the sound of it. I live in some godforsaken rural backwater, so I assume I'd be too far from a Google data centre for a good experience.

TV: Watched the rest of Triple Frontier which was good overall and the new American Gods, which was boring. I have also picked up One Punch Man again on Netflix for the train and it remains absolutely brilliant.
Food: Steak sandwiches for dinner:
Booze: Leftover bottles of stella from the weekend.
Games: None <sobs>
OTTM: Working from home today.
Thought of the day: They should do a spin-off of American Gods called Yorkshire Gods where the old gods like Geoffrey Boycott and Sean Bean battle against the young upstarts like Gareth Gates and Harry Maguire.

Ganes - Sekiro. Top banana. Spent about 20 minutes fighting the same boss over and over and then got annoyed and stopped.
OTTM - Partridge - decent
I've got a presentation to the bored this lunch time, followed by a Skype call and a 4pm meeting so I can't sneak off early. What a world. Fortunately from Thursday its wiggling from home for the next few months, so I may finally get a chance to beat Dr Big Bollocks in Sekiro.

Aachen
I liked it. It was a smaller city than I expected.
I was out near the ring road but it was less than a 5 minute stroll to the centre.
It was nice and warm on Friday as well. I was able to sit outside a pub til nearly 9pm just wearing a shirt.
Saturday was not so nice. Sitting outside a pub was not tempting in the slightest.
I did go a nice brewpub, but it was more a restaurant than a pub. Also it was too hot. They had low level lights above every table giving out a fearsome heat
I very much liked the cathedral. Though I couldn't help but notice they seemed to have got overexcited on towers, spires and domes and forgotten about the nave entirely.
The treasury was pretty spectacular as well.
Lille
I have been to Lille before several times. It is the best.
I sat in the square and drank overpriced beer. Just one, as though a second was tempting so was the prospect of not sitting in a very cold wind.
It was lovely in the sun. Junelike. Less Junelike in the shade when the wind blew.

I watched the Sony Direct. FNAF, Iron Man, Norman's Sky, you name it, it's all coming out in VR. Not Mortal Kombat, though. Yet. They've got to work a bit on the format. They are clearly copying the Nintendo Direct idea without understanding why Nintendo uses hosts and has bookends - start with something that gets everyone hyped and end with something that raises the roof. |

Ganes: More Luigi's Mansion. Too much for my right hand, apparently, which hurts quite a bit today. I hate having to constantly hoover up all the mice in the corridors.
OTTM: I remember some tourists in Germany expressing their surprise in a supermarket that the beer was cheaper than bottled water. Well, it's a staple.

I'm struggling with the thought of Sheep sitting outside in just a shirt.
A very powerful and erotic image.

Morning Bellends
Games! AC Odd - bit more story, took down a cultist on a boat. By ramming into it and shooting it full of arrows. Great stuff. Tried out a big axe, and I’m a massive fan, especially when the backswing damages people too, clear fights in minutes.
