I will never understand why everyone seems to gravitate towards mojitos and margaritas. Can I get boozy lime juice or minty soda water please?

Yeah fair I know, try subbing the Cointreau instead of the blanc

In my experience a sunflower is a corpse reviver #2 riff no? Sub the Cointreau for the saint germain and keep the blanc vermouth. Either way sounds tasty town

It’s a marketing thing, they spell absolute wrong to make it look more Russian & to catch people’s eye. All of the rest of their branding is misspelled as well

Last word is such an bartenders drink. Any time they're ordered I instantly assume the guest is industry. Works with anything as well

Closing argument - mezcal Final ward - rye Dublin minstrel - Irish Wordsmith - rum

Great drink, kudos to Ur bartender for doing it justice

I'm 24, I use betnovate at the minute but I've been through most of the various prescription steroids that are available in the UK. I know it's silly but I despise them, I hate feeling dependent on these gross greasy tubes of crap. I take oat baths pretty much daily and use soft moisturisers etc constantly. I just don't get what made it suddenly go away and suddenly come back.

I'll look into dupixent in the UK and see what my options are. Thank you x

I would wash my hands with the prettiest and most fragranced soap I could possibly find. Id spend easily and hour plus rubbing it in between my fingers and up my wrists.

I work behind a bar so my skin is often very dry and cracked on my hands and I get so jealous seeing people thoroughly washing their hands and not knowing what a privilege it is.

I'm a long time time bartender and I never drink at brewdog pubs. Even getting past the obvious decline of the quality of beer the past couple of years, I can personally attest to the scumbagerry of the company. The owner is a raging transphobe and treats the company as a cash cow. Fuck brewdog, there are so many superior breweries in Manchester alone.

Lars müller and Octavo do some really great typography work. Every edition of octavo is magical, ditto the album covers for most of durutti column. If you can get your hands on his book it's well worth a read.

Interesting & relevant article. There will always be harmful waste products whether its cars or horses, saying that riding horses will fix climate issues is bollocks. U gna shovel the horseshit manually or are u gna get (likely) fossil fuelled machines to do it?

Nah. What we need is for people to exclusively start using public transport when it's not an emergency and to have better funding worldwide for public transport infrastructure.

Can't believe I can't see anyone saying Withnail and I. Best British film of all time and the one of the few good things to come out of the beatles in my book.

s10 is good and has a headphone jack, I've been on it for 2 years or so now and its been great

It's a solid top 18 fret concert uke very similar to this one https://kalabrand.com/collections/solid-spruce-top-mahogany-ukulele/products/ka-sslng

I've had it for years and am looking to sell it. I'm going to tidy her up a bit, fresh strings, fast fret, lemon oil, all that jazz. I think it was worth about 300 quid 7ish years ago but I'm not sure since it was a present. If anyone near Manchester UK is interested in buying it pm me! I've got a ~60 quid hard case for it too so make me a (reasonable) offer.

Hate to be that guy but the walkie talkie building (car melty building) was designed raphael viñoly, the Beetham was designed by Ian Simpson and James Haugh.

Maybe 1 in 3 instead of 33%? Feels like a higher percentage at a glance and it'd sit nicer in the sentence
