Pull up a Wicker armchair and join us for a watery brew at The Arse, or The Forge and Wicker, or The Golden Shower, or whatever we've settled on as the name of this hellish pub. A fitting a retreat after a puzzle described initially by Jon as "definately an easy one," that descended into confusion, public urination and serial village murder. Everything that could be misunderstood, was, and everything that couldn't was as well. Topics of discussion include the traditional Spanish abduction of naughty Dutch children via Steamboat, why Beer definately should be served with chocolate, the human te ..read more

You are in a state of crisis, the puzzle pieces before you make no sense. No answers come to you, no logic pervades, no inspiration. What do you do? Well if this episode is anything to go by, you pee on it. And then expectantly ask the GM whether that "does anything." With teams like these, who needs enemies.   This episode features Annekoos, Ben and Jon.   Special thanks this episode to Lena Orsa, for the Epic Cinematic Music that Jon glorifies amateurism to at the top of the show ..read more

Join Annekoos, Bailey, Mike and Aled as they sip their overpriced tipples in The Garrick Club, Jon's natural home. We kick off by discussing the great injustices of Jon's previous room (chief among them that he inadvertently told them not to bother taking notes). Topics of digression then include Overengineered Light Switches, Corporate Flunkies, The Rise of Clickbait Journalism, The Capabilities of The Scorpion and The Death Of Self. Standard night at the pub, then ..read more
