The Weekend Beer & Music Thread

Was accused of preaching on here a few days ago and I’m still fuming so have a bit of this:

I know how you feel. Coincidentally, I was accused of something on here the other day as well. In fact a whole thread was started about it and I'm still upset about it.
Classic song though.

Just a little word about this. Etiquette and meaning are often lost on written media. People say, "you wouldn't say that to me face to face" and that's true, we are not face to face. But what is also true is that meanings that we convey in conversation through intonation, physicality and expression are lost in this media. So a comment made to someone's face with a knowing wink or a smile can read on a written media as aggressive and belligerent when this is not the intention. Oh and often the best reaction to someone trying to p!ss on your chips is to simply smile at them. Scares the fkk out of them.

But most importantly, this...

You've killed the thread Muttley. You're a very naughty dog. Get back in your basket and think about what you've done. No treats for you tonight.
 
Finally back off the wagon so catching up with some Thornbridge beer club selections before a weekend in Halifax/Hebden (y)

Meanwhile, this has just arrived on vinyl and will be getting a first spin shortly...

Make sure you have a few in the 3 Pigeons in Halifax. Top pub!
 
Bit late to the weekend drinking as I was working last night , but a couple of pre-match pints with @shaun71 , a great win - and lots more beers tonight 🍻🍻🍻🍻
HIC...!!
Afternoon folks, hope it's been a good week for all. Three points against Watford last week were very welcome, especially after the disappointment of the Mackem game. Great performance and a well deserved three points plus the subsequent additions of both Dan Barlaser and Aaron Ramsay should hopefully help us stay very much in the play off picture at least for the rest of the season. Three points at home to Blackpool tomorrow would be a great way to cement ourselves in there.

Anyhoooo... It's the weekend or just about anyway, so get us started I can recommend a fantastic local porter if you're into that stuff. It's a very, very nice drink and on the rare occasion I see it on tap I always indulge in a pint. I give you the very lovely Ouseburn Porter.

As we're playing Blackpool tomorrow I thought I'd stick a track from The Cure on to get us underway given that Robert Smith was born there. For a double whammy, it's Friday and I'm in love (with Michael Carrick, but don't tell the Mrs!!!)

Happy weekend folks.

Mrs WG has some Gingerbread gin that she got as a gift recently and so I think we're going to try a little tipple of that.

However, spirit drinking is generally alien to me and so what is the best way to have these flavoured gins? Mixed with lemonade? Cheers.
