As a precursor to the Pumpkin Publog Pub Of The Year competition which will be in June/July we have a slightly more disgraceful competition to air first. Now I am not a big pool player (those who know me will confirm that I am not a big anything) bu[…]

Pub carpets – don’t worry this isn’t turning into a pub version of Changing Rooms – merely observations one what makes a decent carpet in a pub. As noted below in discussion of The Ring, there is something comforting about a t[…]

Over on Pop Matters, a well written and argued piece on why NWA are the second most influential band in history. The whole piece is perhaps too overblown as if Shan Fowler really does not think anyone is going to agree with him. I was halfway there w[…]
