Low Res Viewpub is an awful idea
Read post

Low Res Viewpub is an awful idea, but not all the pubs involved are as hideous as John suggests. Well The Hendon in Hendon is – but any pub named after the town it is in must always be viewed upon with suspicion. Is their only claim to fame tha[…]

I am not aware of any other showers in pubs
Read post

I am not aware of any other showers in pubs – and I have to admit the temptation would get too much on a hot day in July for a wee sprinkle on the head (that does not read very well. It reads like it could take place in any pub toilet). However[…]

Sorry about the lack of action round here
Read post

Sorry about the lack of action round here, but quite obviously our excuse is we were in the pub. And what pubs. Over the next week you will be regaled with tales about men with hats, another pub deadly sin and some South London boozers. But first a c[…]

Top Of The Pops relaunch.

Top Of The Pops relaunch. Of course ver Pops (I refuse to call it TOTP as the fashion has had it since five years ago) has had more relaunches than the Ark Royal – and this news is merely news by its lack of newsworthiness. The important facto[…]

SUPER FURRY ANIMALS – Mwng
A couple of weeks ago someone posted a question about the SFA in a classic or dud kind of way on I Love Music. I was a bit late to respond and be part of the dialogue – but coming across their last album on cass[…]

They’re Grrrrr-eat.

They’re Grrrrr-eat. Sorry, it has just been brought to my attention that Tony the Tiger’s secret formula for the frosting on Frosties is not all that secret at all. It is sugar. Sorry if I confused anyone there. I have also been told that[…]
