Today — Friday 7 August 2026
Happy Friday. You made it.
Foggy start, burning off by 10am. Top of 13°C, a good one for an outdoor pint once the sun's out.
Friday means the quiz. Also: a run of new release films worth the ticket price, the Raiders' away game moved venues, and one very silly comedy night in Dickson.
