Even in the UK we aren't safe from Trump supporters. One in the bar today, telling me how great Trump is and he should take over the UK. Fuck me dead. As a woman, and a feminist, I wanted to shout fuck no. As a businesswoman who needs the customer I had to bite my tongue. Eugh. They walk among us.

I've just taught the teen how to batch cook. I'm hoping it encourages them to eat what they've cooked instead of their safe foods of noodles, pasta, and chicken strips. They've discovered garlic and five spice smells nice. Fingers crossed.

On behalf of all publicans If you walk into a pub, and it's not very busy, please, for the love of god, don't remark on it or make a joke of it. We know it's quiet We wish it wasn't So we don't need you to point it out to us. We can see

Is it just my 16 year old who quotes Monty Python in Aldi?

Erm, Vinted, wtf?

I am so fucked off with some people Our pub isn't seen as posh enough for our area by the council and some old duffers. We keep a meticulously clean bar and cellar Had one in, minute through the door he is tutting about our decor. Buys a pint. Waits for husband to go upstairs

I really do need to put a coffee machine in the pub It would save me shit loads and I could sell coffee too. Then I could buy more coffee for me! #publife #landlady

Keep spreading the word, folks! BlueSky can be another tool to beat the bad guys… and we need to use everything we possibly can. ✊👊

My teen and I have a great way of taking the piss out the Catholic family on their dad's side's attitude to their being a lesbian. We went for a coffee this morning after an appointment and I posted "coffee date with my fave lesbian" tagging their dad. So they will now see it on their timeline

This year in June, the Husband and I have been together 25 years. So we are having a party Name of party on the invite? "How did we get here without offing each other?" Appropriate I feel

@bbcbreakfast.bsky.social my 17 year old shops secondhand but also shops things from my wardrobe that I kept from my teens! It's now cool to say "I got it from my mum", especially my old top shop t-shirts and 80s jumpers that were secondhand when I wore them. Quality lasts.

I'm not sure if bringing Take That to Vinyl Club is going to cause me to be chucked out 😂 Someone did bring Chas and Dave last time so I might be OK Also I host it in my pub so I think they will have to be polite

The traffic outside our pub is mental cos a nearby road is closed Couldn't help but put this in the window... #publife #InaPub #Landlady #UKPubs

I can't be alone in thinking we need a new terrorism definition/category: terrorism against women and girls?

The more I read about the Southport killer, the angrier I get. His parents are guilty in this as well, by way of ignorance. Another case of agencies too scared to act. And who was the taxi driver that drove him to the hall despite his father's apparent pleading not to? He's accountable too

Question to Chinese people on here- If I decorated my pub for Chinese New Year when our town centre is having a big celebration, would that be seen as inappropriate or fine? Thanks

I should be in bed according to my GP but I'm bloody working again until 11.30pm at least. I'm going to complain to my manager *Realises I am the manager **Bollocks

Getting the delivery in this weather- sooo cold even with t-shirt, jumper, scarf and big wool coat on with jeans and thick socks and boots. Everything is iced over

It's that cold I just walked to Aldi and back (about a 2 minute walk if that) and it's taken my breath away Literally took me a minute to be able to speak to the head of the art club when I got back. Jesus. #ColdSnap #UKWeather #Winter

This is the sort of shit pubs and owners are up against. Thanks Santander- you can talk about savings when you got done for ripping off people's inheritances

When did Gloria Hunniford start resembling Skeletor?

What I would like to know regards Sara Sharifs dad getting stabbed with a tuna can lid is has anyone checked the lids OK?

Is anyone taking bets on how long of a dramatic pause Geldof will do if they perform Mondays? I reckon at least a minute 30

OK so who decided to make themselves so hungover that even the thought of food makes them heave, forgetting the pub is open from 12-4pm today and it needed a 2 hour clean up from dinner/drinks last night? Me. That would be me Eugh

Going to a very good friend's funeral today. Started the year with a funeral and ending it with one too, they never get easier do they? We are all keeping in mind that he had been suffering for quite some time as that's now stopped but goodness we all miss him.

I love how unserious my pubs darts team are. Bunch of hilarious fuckers the lot of them. They win loads (they're currently winning now) but they have a laugh I do love a Tuesday home match.

D'you know, if everyone linked to the pub industry just did the stuff they're meant to do the first time, my life would be so much easier.

May have just downed a glass of wine That's better. *It was a miss-pour. And needed It's been a long week this week

I hope, but don't believe they will, vote in the Assisted Dying bill. Surely it's better than the abhorrent Liverpool Care Pathway, that withdraws everything and lets the patient die a slow death without getting their opinion on it or that of their relatives?

America, can we borrow Thanksgiving? I know we have Bonfire Night but Thanksgiving is like a mini Pre-Christmas. We already stole Halloween enthusiasm from you guys.

I'm quite sad about the demise of "the other place". I joined it in early 2008 and had some excellent debates and conversations. Started my blog there. Found DJs there. Ah well. Hopefully we can keep this place tidy for long enough

Well, this is nice isn't it?
