Mikkeller Japanese Rice Lager This is most agreeable. A nice, clean, crisp and rather palatable lager.

I thought Budapest was overrated. There are some nice old buildings but the pubs and restaurants just seemed tacky. Szimpla Kert, the famous ruin pub, was a big disappointment. The walls were covered in graffiti from various Eastern European football hooligan mobs, the beer was pish and they were playing really bad techno music at a reasonable volume so as not to disturb the neighbours. The place was packed out with English stag and hen parties. It's just a tourist trap and nothing like the counter-cultural hub that it may have been at one time. Antwerp in Belgium is underrated. A beautiful city with good food and beer but less of a "touristy" feel than other places. Tel Aviv is another underrated destination. Good beaches, wild nightlife and the Bauhaus architecture in the centre is interesting.

The Breeders - Pod 1990 release by the "supergroup" led by Kim Deal of The Pixies and Tanya Donnelly of Throwing Muses. An excellent album. Lo-fi production and dark and often highly sexualized lyrics. A pretty intense album.

I love a currywurst. Another tip for a tasty and inexpensive meal that is very "Berlin" is to visit a butcher shop. Many of them have tables and chairs outside and you can get huge portions of hearty stews or goulash for a few euros. The Domke Fleischerei on Warschauer Straße is pretty good.

Band für Afrika was the German version of Band Aid, and it somehow managed to be even more shite...

Scars - Author Author An excellent album by a largely forgotten Edinburgh band. Dark lyrics and some great guitar work. An early 80s post-punk classic.

Nice wee blast of Japanese hard-core punk...

Me too. I have red/green deficiency and while the shirt may appear bright pink to others to me it just looks like a dull off-white colour. The bright sunlight yesterday didn't help.

Decent day out aside from the result. The Old Inn is a decent pub. I thought the Mo played well but we never really looked liked scoring. I was completely bewildered that we were wearing those pale pink shirts against a team that wear white. I'm amazed that was allowed. There was a couple of occasions when both teams gave up possession, presumably because the shirts were too close a colour. There were also a couple of dubious refereeing decisions too. We were denied a corner right at the end. I'm convinced that was because of the shirts Why were we not in our blue shirts today?

Nah, Dunfermline are gonna get put firmly in their plaice today.

^^^ Stone Roses Blur or DJ Krush?

I was surprised by that too. I didn't even know that we had a red away kit...

I've just booked my ticket. Never been to Dunfermline before, so it'll be good to tick another ground off the list. I fancy taking a stroll around the Abbey before grabbing a bite to eat. My research suggests that The Old Inn is nearby and does decent food. Has anyone any better suggestions for a pre-match feast?

Often the case with these guys. Terry Hall did a DJ set in Dundee a few weeks ago. The venue was full of aging mods and skinheads in Fred Perry and Doc Martins all expecting a set of two tone and ska. Hall was completely oblivious to the crowd and just played loads of shite 90s chart music like Groove is in the Heart and Here Comes The Hotstepper. It was both embarrassing and hilarious at the same time. The ska crowd were fucking fuming. Speaking of Dundee, here's the city's greatest reggae band...

The word of the day is.... unfuckinglucky https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/04/alex-jones-defamation-trial-verdict-sandy-hook

Death Watch Under The Skin The Debt Collector Orphans Slow West I'm also gonna give a shout out to Just a Boy's Game, I'm not sure if it counts as a film or just a TV play.

Plenty of great stuff came out of the 90s indie scene.... unfortunately so did a load of absolute shite.

ITV4 showed that episode a few months ago with all the racist language cut out.

Article 4 of the ECHR states that compulsory military service is not a breach of human rights.
