I honestly haven't got a clue. I’ve never tried that. But probably not.

If it no-longer applies then why do pubs keeping saying it does?

Seriously, what’s going on with the pint-glass situation? Why can’t it be the ’80s again for just one quiet evening? Who’s lamping who with a pint-handle? Who even does that?

You can't trust the Vile to do anything that you want them to do.

No-one joining me for a mug-handled pint of Heineken, no? No-one?

…ahhh, that’s something that’s always happened in locals I’ve known…but they’re more village pubs…?…and maybe it’s not so much that, that’s a thing in town pubs etc…regulars take in their own glass or tankard etc and it’s kept in the bar…like taking your coffee mug to work for coffee breaks, I guess……

Sounds like I’ll have to get Suffolk-interior pub-hopping, then.

Any pub selling Budvar should be doing it in these glasses



The old style ale ones occasionally get used in my village pub but I don't see many of them elsewhere

But I do like Whiskey, Cider, and Rum.

Yeah. Exactly.

Everything is so sanitised these days it’s a joke. It started in 2007 but at this point even bar staff perpetuate BS (in this case about old-style pint glasses being more dangerous). Not being trusted with a glass mug all-of a sudden really is such a big deal.

standard glass sizes are easier to pour, store and wash in the machine. Pubs do everything based on efficiency, it's not difficult to see why everything is standardised

It never used to be just about efficiency, and it’s not just efficiency that’s resulted in them not serving people with glass-mugs anymore. There’s a wack argument out there that they’re inherently dangerous and that blokes get fighting easier with them than with regular pint glasses.

People conflating introversion with being highly sensitive. For every delicate, anime-like INFP figure renowned for sensitivity there’s a cold, characteristically insensitive, cuttingly antisocial INTJ (and a moderately well-rounded INFJ with a knack for human psychology and solitude but also reasonable amounts of external stimulation caught in the middle to boot). The extreme poles of hyper-sensitivity and coldness can be mutually present in the same person, or it might be one or the other. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t like to say too much about just-plain social introversion and extroversion without referencing broader personality frameworks (like MBTI), because the meaning for both is too subjective and vague and you could be talking about two completely different kinds of people. One’s a stereotypical chess-maverick or egoistical mastermind with a penchant for conspiracy-theories, the other’s an accommodating and well-wishing but ‘stick to the sidelines’ kind of calm person who prefers to socialise quietly and in moderation and the other’s the sensitive, delicate, cuddly poet or counsellor who’s part of the “are we trying to code HSP as female/sensitive male autism (as-opposed to the stereotypical male-dominated ASD) or are we inherently not pathologising this and seeing it as its own distinct personality which overlaps onto introversion without fail” squad. And so-on. Outer social demeanour is just one side to a personality. Few people are ever just quiet or just loud.

This British habit of forever whinging and moaning about the present moment and looking back on the past with rose-tinted nostalgia even though at the time they were saying it was the worst ever and doing the exact same thing. On a broader global landscape 2018 (minus all this non-binary nonsense going into overdrive) was like a gem in the rough of a very bad decade for news and politics and even that had huge problems. Complaining about the present moment and using convenient landmarks (9/11, 2008 credit-crunch, increasing immigration being an excuse to fuel disgusting xenophobia, Brexit, ISIS, Covid) as the point when things went wrong is just such bad vibes. And the U.K. is just full of bad vibes as it is.

Also. This stupid guy narrating Psych2Go now. Amanda Silvera is a prominent, characteristically sootning voice behind Psych2Go and she can lift even the crappiest of videos to something worth listening to. Without her vocals there’s barely any point watching the channel. I don’t mind the other female narrators but the bottom line is we want Silvera and that’s that. If she’s not in it at all anymore then Psych2Go might as well get cancelled. It’s basically a hub for over-sexualisation and teenage crushes now anyway and even Silvera’s vocals couldn’t save some of that garb.
