Flag-flying protocol in the UK dictates that the Union Flag is flown from government buildings on "flag days" - such as Queen's official birthday, royal births, and the like.

Now that Belfast City Council have decided to honour the tradition of the United Kingdom, what then is the problem with these arseholes in Norn Iron?

If they don't like it, why don't they just fuck off and become members of their own country rather than ours?

They already are members of their own country, the UK. Are you suggesting we just divest ourselves of troublesome provinces, like Yorkshire for example?

HMV about to call in the administrators

(I love twitter, found this out from following Ed Simons (of The Chemical Brothers) who's tweeting with the hashtag #hmvmemories rather than actually bothering to read the news )

Oh no!

Beer to be cut in strength.

Oh hang on, panic over -

"We can confirm that we are in the process of advising customers about the decision to lower the ABV content of John Smith's Extra Smooth from 3.8% to 3.6% on all draught and canned product delivered from February 2013.

"The move to 3.6% ABV is designed to bring John Smith's Extra Smooth in line with competitor smooth ales that already sit at or below this alcoholic strength.

"Extensive research conducted with John Smith's retailers and consumers consistently confirmed that a 0.2% reduction in ABV does not compromise on the taste and quality that has made the brand the UK's most popular ale and we are confident that John Smith's Extra Smooth will continue to lead the ale category going forward."

Hurrah! Quality of nitrofroth not compromised as nation rejoices!

The latest update on UKB's favourite American multi-billionaire tycoon, property magnate, luxury resort developer, and new-style King Knut*

* As students of history will of course already know, Knut was trying to prove to a sycophantic court he couldn't control the sea and the tides, not impose his will against them.

Der Grumpmeister and I were in the Byron yestereve, and the great man commented on the non-appearance of Abbeydale "Moonshine" on the bar.

"They've put the price up and are too expensive."

[According to our sources they are not the only customers of said brewery to comment upon this, and alter their order accordingly (i.e. cancel it).]

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

So.

Blockbuster have called in the administrators too.

If Deloittte end up thinking the task of rescuing the company is beyond them, will they issue a press release stating, "We haven't a clue what to do."?

Would've worked better with right lyrics -

If Deloittte end up thinking the task of rescuing the company is beyond them, will they issue a press release stating, "We just haven't got a clue what to do"?

Mining - or old mines giving up more to the point.. Most of Doncaster and surrounding area is subsiding - except for (interesting factoid alert) Donny Cathedral, that they were not allowed to mine under..

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

"Donny Cathedral"?

Do you mean St George's?




[A trawl of the internet for that photograph did indeed reveal it's known as "the Minster and Parish Church of St George". But only from 2004, so it doesn't count.* What madness is that?]
