My birthday SUB beer tap has arrived and is set up, awaiting my ale to arrive next week but got Heineken to start with. Will have to do. Also had our twelve week scan today, expecting in November. A good day. 

Congratulations on the expecting front, and congratulations on buying a SUB beer tap. I must confess that I had to look up the later to see what it was. It looks like a useful bit of kit. I've seen the prices of how much they cost, but how much do the cartridge type things of beer cost? Is it economical?

Thank you very much Yog. Don’t think I would’ve bought it myself previously but am missing a pub pint, my partner got it me for my birthday. The prices of the kegs vary, cheapest seems to be about 8 quid and some go over the 20 mark. They’re only 2L so you get barely four pints out of them. There is a way to ‘hack’ them apparently but I’ll stick to doing it legitimately for now. Will give my verdict later on. 
Has anyone got any SUB tips?

There's a video here which shows you how to refill the torps with home brew. I haven't watched it but the system may work for refilling with your own choice of beer. Possibly worth a watch as £5 a pint isn't a cheap home alternative. Hope it's of use;

G & T's this end, with a smoke and a line beforehand as kind of 'stabiliser'. 

I know I’m a bit late to reply here (been a bit busy at work recently) but I like the cut of your jib sir. The strategy of ‘a line to level you out’ has been suggested to me before. Now no comment on whether I partake but from the carnage that ensues around me after I see this strategy being tested I’d say this method needs work! 🤣

It wasn't exactly pre-planned but I ended up starting the day at 9am with a Bucks Fizz. This has since been added to when my neighbour passed me a joint to smoke. 

I hadn't thought about getting totally spannered today, but I fear it's about to happen. 

Ho hum!

Where on earth do you live for a neighbour to pass a joint before midday?!

I've been very regimented in lockdown. Only drunk Fri to Sun every week then had four days off. This is the first Monday in about a month where I've not felt like the below video - that I could just start getting drunk and it wouldn't really matter (got furloughed early doors).

You even tease us with views of places you aren’t ... in that case ... here’s mine

Took that photo in Jersey A few weeks after returning from Glastonbury last year. Lovely beers and ciders! Had planned to do the same this year. That plan has sadly disappeared down the crapper!😒

Heaven.

Seriously though, I live in a quaint English town called Bridgnorth. One which is perfectly divided by the River Severn. 

 

One of my mates moved there a couple of years ago....I’m meant to be visiting him later this year 😊

Hello gooner 1990,

I only moved here a few years ago myself. If you do get to get here then give me a shout if you want and we can hook up for a beer. Or don't bother. Whatever suits you really, as i'll be here anyway! :)

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
