Putting The Miles Into The Pub 365 Challenge.
*Written in 2018* Grab a cuppa before proceeding. There could be a word count looming. So with the adultness of a mortgage looming, I thought I’d have one last go at the visiting 365 pubs in 365 days challenge before the cheap rate for the first 2 years expired. With 771 pubs from the first…
The Pub 366 Challenge Actual Blog.
*This was written in 2016. Some pubs mentioned may be long gone.* Back in 2010 I was in a taxi with a good friend Sarah who told me and my mate Woza about The Pub 365 Challenge that she was undertaking. The idea was to visit 365 pubs in the same number of days and…
Dull Match, Decent Evening.
It was a lazy start to last Saturday. I’d risen late having been up after midnight watching The Traitors final on I-Player after getting home from Josh’s. I was too lethargic to even bother paying attention to my breakfast and ended up with over cooked eggs and bacon. The wholemeal wrap that they were going…
Brave The Shave, Brave The Rain.
Lazy start to last Sunday. Danny Wallace on Radio X was blasting out, which was an absolute treat. I don’t normally get to listen to him as I’m usually at the gym at this time of the week, but I’m currently having a break whilst the “go to the gym only in January” brigade get…
Bit Of Brekkie, Bit Of Curry.
My New Year resolution is to lose weight. Well I say that, I’ve been trying the last couple of months. To use boxing analogies, I’m currently Middleweight and have been dangling just above Light Middleweight (Super Welterweight for my American readers) for a while, so my aim is to drop down to that level. However,…
White Star Line Cruise To A Great Show.
It was Friday January 2nd. Back at work. I’d already had 3 days back after Christmas but it’s the first work day of the new year that jars with me a bit. January, and nothing to look forward to. Coupled in with an overnight sprinkling of snow and ice and there wasn’t a spring in…
Reasons For Admission To Walsall Wood.
Greetings. It’s been a while. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my month off from blogging but let’s get back to it. Did I do any of the other writing I was going to do whilst this was on hiatus? Of course not. Oh well. Last Saturday local band Reasons For Admission were playing at the recently reopened…
33 Years Of Lost Walsall Pubs.
Last year Craig and I were strolling into town and he asked how many pubs I’ve visited in my life. Well there is 1200 odd just on the 3 pub challenges that I’ve done, then I mentioned some of the local ones that closed before I started the pub challenges. So here is a list…
Gun Shots And Curry.
Friends of mine will happily testify that I am partial to sending out a random message. Sometimes I receive them like recently when Swill got in touch, admitting it was random but asking if I wanted to join him at a gun firing place in Leamore. I agreed straight away throwing in asking if I…
Eastleigh, On The Road To Wembley?
Last Sunday my beloved Walsall FC had our first round F.A Cup tie away at Eastleigh. A team I don’t believe that we have played before, who are currently mid table in The Conference, the top tier of non league and the division one step below us. Cup shock was written all over this hence…
