I present to you the supercomputer user who recently tried to store a
whole genome in a shell variable.
It didn't go the way he'd hoped.

No link, this was just an internal support ticket.

There's always the Fountain. I gather they may have even gotten rid of the
darkroom.

One bit of pleasing railway news is that the Dutch national rail operator
lost the Scotrail franchise due to being even worse at the job than the
likes of WorstGroup etc, so the odds of them cancelling the train out of
spite and stranding you in the arse end of nowhere would have been
significantly reduced.

They're not actually all that rare, just that the venues catering to
children tend to be rather more visible. Look for a bear pub, and you've
probably found a decent pint. Bears don't tend to go in for tiny drinks
which are 50% sugar and 50% umbrellas.
See also Irish pubs which Irish people go to as opposed to one plastered in
green crap and screens full of football. So that'd be a vote for the Anchor
Digbeth except I don't think they have a beer garden.
ISTR that the Fountain usually has three or four Real Ales on, although it's
been at least a decade since my last visit.

Some of us would be pleased to know that one can find a well-ordering
of gay men who like beer with respect to how ugly they are.

Given that you drink C-Stoff, this would be the uneasy balance between it
putting hairs on your chest, and it scorching them right off again when you
spill some down your front.
