D Thank you Vlad. And sorry for calling you. Do you want to come and play golf with me?
V No, we go bareback horse riding in Urals. And bring you daughter.
D Bye Vlad. Vlad? I guess you’ve hung up now.

V OK, so what do I get?
D What will it take to stop?
V Simple, I get Ukraine, you get Zelensky. Da?
D But I don’t want him here, maybe he can go to Mexico.
V OK, settled. You tell him you have Peace Plan. Deal?

D Gee, I hadn’t thought about that. They’d look great with the Nobel then everyone would know what a great guy I am.
V So Ukraine, what have you said to that fool Zelensky?
D Nothing, I don’t want to bother him before we can agree how to stop the war.
D What will it take to stop?

D Well, I want the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war. I said I’d do it and people keep asking when. And that Obama got a Nobel so I want one.
V I can give you Order of Lenin and Order of Putin, Obama does not have them.

V Hmm, I didn’t think you were ordering Burger. What you want to give me?
D It’s about Ukraine. I think the fighting should stop.
V Yes? So what do I get?
D We need peace, I want it to end.
V Why? Your military making plenty money from your treasury? What do you really want.

I'm concerned about my status. Born in Manchester, grew up in Derbyshire and lived in West Yorkshire for 53 years (also married to a Yorkshire girl) and I don't plan on leaving.

Good news, especially that they also get the rights to Brew Jennings beers again. Hope that Snecklifter and the Mild reappear.

I'm OK with standard Eurostar but I usually choose 1st class for Leeds to Kings Cross return for my trips.

Got any Battenberg cake? That might work. But please don't put it in any beer.

At Bradford University in 1970 I joined VOMIT; the Voluntary Organisation for the Mass Invasion of Taverns, we were dedicated cask ale drinkers.

Why didn't I read before posting? Both, not bothered!

Sadly there are no perfect competitions, CAMRA & SIBA bothered have their faults. Pay to be in means those with deeper pockets, or those playing the odds to win something can hope to make the investment pay.

I've judged alongside qualified judges, some are very good, but I've come across a few who try to lead a table towards their judgement of a beer. That's just not acceptable.
comment in response to

I've judged at quite a few competitions, never taken any of the recognised qualifications, but 55 years of drinking experience and an inquisitive mind has seen me through. Did a very short session on off flavours at Tetleys many years ago which clarified some things.

2001 & 2018 Rose de Gambrinus. I've had to seriously thin out my cellar after moving house and downsizing, no more cellar! Drank all my Fullers collection before moving and no just trying to keep a much smaller selection. Still have another of the 2001 (375ml).

I've only been to a handful of football matches, it's not my thing, but I think the last game may have been in 68 or 69 and Law, Best, Charlton & Kidd were in the team. Best was the one who impressed me as he seemed to move without being seen

I was seriously hoping that confectionary flavoured beers, aka Pastry Stouts would be crawling into a corner and withering away

I remember going to the launch at The Grove, Rich & Stu were so upbeat and enthusiastic. They held a couple of really nice festivals, but everything seemed to go sour after the takeover.

No, no, no, hear the man out, Elon is entitled to his opinions but he doesn't know that Nige owns the Reform company until Elon coughs up to buy him out.

We don't touch those beers anymore. Thankfully the 'redundant' players set up Lakes Brew in Kendal, I was up there a few weeks back and Alex Brodie turned up.

I remember dialling 154 to get the Test Match score. As it was a free service we used to keep up to date with the score at work.

Another one I'll miss as it now coincides with our usual holiday date
