excellent trolling, well done.

There are complete idiots at every level of football, it’s a bit like life in that respect.

I’m used to seeing lots of AFC Wimbo fans in there, which is usually a good thing.

Perhaps The Hole is better today but as a man in middle age now, I have no real inclination to put in the research on my increasingly fewer trips back to my native Smoke.

Two other groups of people who meet in the HITW:

1. South Bank Centre conspirators, knowing they can safely talk about their bosses who will be drinking at the HITW’s aspirational twin, the Archduke.

2. Members of Earl Brutus who organise an irregular pop quiz there called The Electrical Circus. Expect questions on David Bowie and Focus.

ANYWAY what I said was: Medieval Madness pinball = TICK VG

I walked past this pub pretty much every day after I first moved to London on my way to and from work (I lived in Elephant & Castle up the road) and it always intrigued me; I had thought it was just the small front room. When I eventually visited it years later it did seem like something of a ‘local pub’ for a transient and ever-changing population such as central London’s, friendly enough but anonymous. Its charms are as hidden away as the pub itself seems to be, but it definitely has charms.

Reader, I was one of them. But was correctly referred to as a Sinisterine. It is also the place where you told me, with considerable glee, that Jenn is nothing like me.
