The thing is, there has always been implicit queuing in pubs. Not an actual visible queue, but everyone waiting to be served at the bar knows who should be next, and where they are in the "queue"...
Typically insightful piece by @andrewmale.bsky.social Twelve of Brian Wilson’s greatest songs – from surf to psychedelia and beyond www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...
Sneaky cross-posting from the "other site"....
Not one for giving cultural tips, but I can really recommend catching up with William Boyd (yesterday) and Stephen Mangan (a few weeks back) on #desertislandiscs And both picked the same luxury... 🎹
Devon day 2.. fine weekend. Now back in London Town.

David Niven's birthday, is it? Time once more for The Greatest Picture Ever Taken, then.
Walk to Blackpool Sands, Devon, and back to Dartmouth..
Embarrassing memories of a Christmas Eve a few years back at my Uncle Phil & Auntie Jane's. "Help yourself to a drink", etc. So, as Phil was telling my brother about "the nice bottle of Chablis" he was saving for Boxing Day, I was in the kitchen, well, you can guess the rest...
Early morning view from Kingswear, Devon, Dartmouth across the River Dart, Britannia Royal Naval College on the hill, top right. Weekend with my brother, old mate Tony (his house). Walk later to Blackpool Sands (no, not in Lancashire..), lunch, walk back, curry this evening. Splendid.
Had enough of stacking pigs? Drop penguins into the sea instead.

Connections players might possibly hoot at this as much as I did (I dunno who made it but props to them)
I have been stuck in the mud twice, my husband has fallen in once & also lost his glasses overboard, & I got bitten by monsters.
We're having a lovely holiday, that's what mum says. First we could not get the gas cooker to work then we couldn't start the car. Now mum's lost her barcley cards in the barcley machine. I dread to thing whats going to happen next. I most go now. Bye. Becky
Gladiator 2 tomorrow at Clapham Picturehouse! I know it's going to be nonsense... but what the hell..
With Norman, my friend's rather excitable Norfolk terrier puppy...
