Bimbling down the auld Corpse Road with a view to a pint or two...
Love a good walk, pubs, music, beer, art, cider, Leicester Tigers RFC, the Sooty Show.
Occasionally packin’ a 1953 FED-1 Camera

- Are we at the point now where UK FC should consider bringing in some talented management from Spain or Germany if it wants to stay in the Premiership?
- Seconded…
- Day of the Hawks begins with the non-essential Zones (Flicknife, 1983), a mixed bag of early 80’s demos and live stuff. Sound quality a bit muddy, and the Hayle track is terrible, but there’s a decent Moorcock track and this is the classic Levitation lineup with Huw Lloyd Langton… #Vinyl #ProgSky
- The Meat They’re Sure To Eeeeeat…
- Reposted by MarkTHREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent cattle I have met on walks. You will find the captions for the photos in the alt text.
- Wave goodbye to those nail-biting 5 minute Scrum resets guys…
- Today’s ear worm, another classic from Syd Dale.

- To be fair, with the total absence of public facilities in urban areas, ‘Pissing in the Street’ shouldn’t really be an offence. Whereas ‘Shitting on the Government’… deserves everything he gets.
- So Mandy jumped before he was pushed…
- Wasted a few minutes in a record shop today. Straight to the Jazz, mostly cheap compilations, trad/dixieland, stuff I’ve got or don’t want. Just the one album looked good, reasonable condition, wound the phone up for a listen, yes, very good. Flipped the sleeve over, £75… left shop, went to pub.
- Tonights ‘Pubs in Pictures’ is The Balloon Tavern, a Watneys house which features in a 1966 film starring David Mason ‘The Deadly Affair’, latterly a Bruce’s brewpub called The Ferret & Firkin In A Balloon Up The Creek Without A Paddle, now a gastro pub called the Lots Road.
- Jeremy Vine desperate to close down this question to his chum Andrea. We already know Jenkyns is a national embarrassment, but Vine seems keen to claim her crown…
- Today’s mini-Walkies, as mapped by OS Benchmarks. #BenchmarkMonday
- The auld Murphy’s, has returned to The Vaults in Uppingham, which is fine… Feeling my age today, yes it’s fuckin’ cold out, but other than Don Paddys, which was toasty, I don’t think I’ve felt properly warm all day…
- Struck (very pale) gold in Don Paddy’s… @oakhamales.bsky.social Pendulum UK Pale Ale.
- Seems to me that what we know about Mandelson is absolutely ‘nothing’ compared to what Mandelson knows. How else do we explain Mandelson…
- Planning: “It’s absolutely essential and totally non-negotiable that you respect the integrity of this conservation area by maintaining Reed Thatch to the front elevation of your Grade II listed building” Owner: “What about the back?” Planning: Anything but corrugated iron mate…
- Unexpected second Bass of the day (it’s everywhere now!) at the Lord Nelson in Oakham. Nice pint too…
