I've got a couple of earthenware pint mugs - they are very handy for homebrew. Not sure how different beer tastes out of them, but they don't get greasy fingerprints on them and they keep it cooler for longer.

My stepdad got into homebrew in the 1990s and I remember going down into the cellar and pouring endless pints of foul elixir from a giant receptacle

It used to be the Wetherspoons in Cambridge that claimed that title. I think it was called the Regal. It used to be a cinema, and was on several levels. IIRC.

I love the way Urban75 threads always keep right on point with the topic at hand and don't meander off like the River Amazon.

There'll be a test on the formation of Ox-bow lakes next time (remember to bring your coloured pencils as diagrams must be included).I love the way Urban75 threads always keep right on point with the topic at hand and don't meander off like the River Amazon.

Oh yes I remember ox bow lakes from Geography GCSE. I was really bad at the subject and sat at the back of the class daydreaming about girls. When I did the project on the River Wey in Guildford I made up all the results but don't tell anyone and I won't either

We only ever went on one Geography trip to go up on Crundale Downs to looks at some solifluxion (???) things. It was great; our teacher broke off the key in the ignition of the minibus, so we had hours just pissing around like loons on top of the downs on one of those summer evenings that really only exist in your youth.

On a school coach to an away match, I still remember the teacher standing up and shouting "Geography class - excellent example of an ox-bow lake coming up on the left".
Everyone was like "and?".
These days, I find that sort of thing really interesting and wish I'd done geography at A level and then Uni.

That's a pretty close result in the end.
Galloway looks to have done better that I expected/hoped.

Would be very interesting to know where those Galloway votes would have gone if he was not standing.

Fuck starmer and everyone who looks like him.

Yeah, it's not impossible that had Galloway not stood, the Tories would have won.

That is my gut feeling, that Galloway acted as a point of discontent probably taking some votes from both parties but overall more potential Con, or at least anti-Lab, voters.
But it is supposition

Sky was trying their best to spin this as a wonderful success for Starmer. A majority of 323 should be the last nail in his coffin.

50 votes for Jayda Fransen tho 
You might be right but something’s really weird if he’s taken bites from the Tories (though something’s really weird that he gets large number of votes at all).

He’s done the Tories a big favour; Starmer stays put.

This proves, Labour can win byelections (just) when Keith keeps a low profile.
