Every time I do a Pop-Eye (and it has been a while) I learn something new. This time I have become increasingly sure that despite the idea that this is a rundown of the most popular records in the country, the top three are a bit of an anomaly becaus[…]

Under New Management! One thing we haven’t really talked a whole lot about here on the Publog is the tricky art of being a landlord. We can bang on about the decor and beers on tap all we like, but in the end it is the management who really giv[…]

The other new pub to visit on the Euston Hexagon after the (yet again visited at the weeked for ruin) Dun-A-Ri was The Boot. The Boot from the outside is a quaint little place just off of Judd Street. Painted green, with darkish windows and a cute al[…]

META-POPEYE – Not a Popeye at all therefore (though its nice to see Eminem at number one, he’s done well the scrappy lil’ fighter). Since Mark Goodier left the Radio One Chart rundown we have had a selection of guest presenters from[…]
