I have just taken delivery of a 10L box of cask-conditioned IPA, best before 1 May 2020.
Lockdown is looking up.

It is possible they have to widen the A429 before they can deliver it all to me. I did buy 5L of Ghost Ship Last night. Just to tide me over. I also have loads of bottles. Not all of them empties. |

I wonder what happened to the dog? Today my copy of Trials of Mana is supposed to be delivered by one of Jeff's minions. Watch this space to find out whether I can get away from Tom Nook's grasping personality for long enough to play a different game. I've should got that coming today too. I also have the original SNES version I haven't even touched yet... Did you try the demo? Seen a lot of neigh sayers bashing it but I thought it was really good - the combat is fast enough that it doesn't get in the way, but still fun. I made the rookie mistake of buying ACNH on disk so I might actually have to remove it from my switch for ToM, which has been a real barrier to playing anything but AC recently. It just arrived! I was saved from the AC staying in the Switch for the next 5 years conundrum by the virus when the delivery of the physical copy fell through. I haven't had time for the demo but I'm happy to support this kind of late localisation with a new coat of paint. Maybe Nintendo will have another think and do the same with Mother 3. I've come across a very critical German review (they ended up giving it a 60 out of 100, whatever that means) but the very lively comment section largely disagreed with this and was casting aspersions on the reviewer's abilities. One can either view it as a classic or as hopelessly out of date. I'm sure I'll have fun with it (once The Nookman lets me go). |

Horses' hooves don't have sufficient dexterity to play a game like Trials of Mana, so you don't want to listen to what they say. You mean he needs to stop putting the cartridge before the horse? |

Proboards advert telling us to learn proper handwashing. Obviously they realise this is supposed to be a gaming forum.
Games you say:
Wee bit of AC.NH.
The Aaron Keener mission in TD2. Seemed too easy then the end was pretty hard.
And now lots more content. FFS.
I installed a hooky copy of GTAV on my pc. Deliberately so I can't go online.
Was like putting on a pair of comfy jeans. I never finished the story mode so this might let me without being tempted.

My neighbour started playing his bagpipes 20 minutes ago and I've just ordered 48 cans off the Brewdog website. I'm no psychologist, but I suspect there is a link.

Before I finished posting that I had a nice chat with the jukebox neighbour as I'm sitting outside (the child is playing in the drive talking to the we girl two doors up) Some lovely racist chat about the Roma in Govanhill. Smashing stuff. Also how they aren't social isolating. So when your daughter/granddaughter are round visiting and you all sit together in the garden...
It's really hot out btw.

Is this a common occurrence in Scotland? The bagpipes I mean, obviously the purchase of large amounts of alcohol is standard practice. |

My cousin plays them too, also one of my kid's pals. It's offered as a music option at the local high school. But really it's a worldwide phenomenon: when I was in Rome we got talking to some of the pipe band who;d been playing at the rugby match, and it turned out they were all Italian. |

Afternoon 'box. Missed most of yesterday's post-my post chat. Thanks for the, erm, sweet bike advice Kane, I think. The lesson I'll take away from that is not leave it unattended anywhere but in the office secure bike store. If I have a job and office to go back to when this epidemic ends. Summer lightning - that's a Ringwood Brewery one, no? Used to spend a lot of time down that way on account of my first fiancee's parents living in Rogate, nr Petersfield. God I miss that part of the world, great pubs, quiet lovely countryside, oh and the fact her parents were seriously wealthy which meant I pretty much drank and ate out for free the whole time we were together.
Ganes: More FFVII remake last night. I am now in the shiniest floored building in videogame history. Shinra Towers may be a hive of scum and villainy, but boy do they know how to interior design  OTTM: My local chippy stiffed me on the chicken kebab last night, the bastards. Luckily I ordered a large chips, and still have a lot of chips left to go with curry and rice tonight. Three bottles of Elvis Juice to see me through to tomorrow when the real weekend drinking starts (around midday).
One hour to go today, although will end up doing some on Sunday most likely as am a bit behind on this week's tasks due to dealing with other people's incompetence.
Have a good weekend all, don't drink too much.

I've been wiggling my way through a box of vegan wine, I know some of you are that way inclined (Destry?), and I can thoroughly recommend these people: www.veganwinebox.co.ukunfortunately unlike their name they don't sell boxes of wine, but you can get a crate of 6 bottles for about 50 squid. Thats 50 pounds worth of wine by my calculations, whereas if you bought a 5 pound bottle you'd only have 5 pounds worth of wine. Massive savings. |

Summer Lightning is Hop Back Brewery on the southern edge of Salisbury. It's not Ringwood, but not far away.
I have been to their brewery. It is nice. If you like terrible industrial units. It was not a tour. I simply turned up to buy large quantities on spec.
Summer Lightning is one of my all time favourite beers. When I was looking to see what was available for delivery I checked on them.
I do like Ringwood 49er
There are a lot of good beers in that part of the country.
God I am so thirsty.

Morning. Yesterday was Thursday. Thursday is now grocery delivery day for the foreseeable future. The groceries were delivered. Praise be. Two packets of Pane Pugliese, known in our household as "the Italian toasting bread" were missing from the order, but that doesn't faze me, for I have also been supporting the Scottish oatcake industry. As long as we have something to put cheese on we are okay. And as long as we have cheese, obviously. OTTM: this morning I read how the President of the United States of America has suggested one should try injecting disinfectants. A new take on the "drink bleach" internet staple? If I had some bread I could have had a toasted chees sarnie for lunch, if I had some cheese. Fortunately I had both.
Drinking disinfectant. If it is 90% or 60% ethanol it shouldn't be that bad for you. Apart from the blindness and liver failure. Water it down and it will be fine depending on what the other 20-50% of the contents are. If they include Methanol add milk to preserve your optic nerve. If it is surfactants, you'll probably be ok, but might not enjoy the drink much. I wouldn't recommend injecting disinfectant directly into your bloodstream. |

I've got 8 cans of Punk IPA coming with the Tesco delivery tomorrow, and I've just ordered 24 pints of IPA from a local brewery. I've also signed up for Beer52.
Beer is best.

Go whole hog, make/buy a 70% gin, add tonic (with extra ground up hydroxychloroquine), finish with a bit of lemon CIF, sit in the garden awaiting UV light and start huffing ozone? Also straight ethanol or diluted ethanol just doesn't taste good, find a strong flavoured mixer. |

My Dad used to pour petrol on Pharoah ant-hills, I remember them coming up from under the ground on-mass and expiring. I learnt a valuable lesson that day. En-masse It’s French. Your welcome I meant mass, not en-masse. You rude cunt. |
