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…
Just 2 Reviews For your Delectation.
The Fingerpost – Norton Road, Pelsall. Reviewed 26/10/25. It was payday weekend, I was on the seated leg press in the gym and getting peckish. I decided to go and have a Sunday dinner and thought I’d give The Fingerpost a whirl as I hear the ongoing bridge work outside is being a pain in…
Walsall Food Reviews Again, Via The Number 10.
These reviews all come within walking distance of the number 10 bus. Thought it would be nice to have a bit of structure to one of these articles. Possibly the only structure I’ll get in my life anytime soon. Casa Gurkha – 125 High Street, Brownhills. Reviewed 30/09/25. I had an unplanned daysaver, sold to…
My Delayed Arrival For Delayed Response.
There was much to do last Saturday, culminating on the night with a trip to Tamworth to see my mate Sean’s band perform. I had missions first though. Bloxwich and back to Cool Hog the pork scratchings shop as they now do hot pork baps, and it was epic. Then Tesco. First up was to…
New Spoons On Monday.
Monday, September 29th, Craig and myself were both off work and we arranged to go to Kenilworth to tick off the new JD Wetherspoons pub there which opened in July. At Walsall Railway Station I asked for a return to Tile Hill, requesting the return for the next day. For the second visit to Craig’s…
320 Miles For A Coffee Shop & 2 Pubs.
My alarm went off at 5.50 am last Saturday. 20 minutes later than when the seagulls in Blackpool had woken me a fortnight earlier and at least this time it was on my terms but it was still early for a day off. I had to be up and about though. I recently discovered how…
Here We Go Again. Another 4 Walsall Food Reviews.
Been a bit peckish of late so I’ve done 4 more not exactly informative Walsall food reviews. Regards – 47 Anchor Road, Aldridge. Reviewed 24/07/25 Me and my mate John were talking curry one night and he mentioned this place. He is something of a regular whereas I thought I’d been once many moons ago…
Oh I Do Like To Be Soaked Beside The Seaside.
My first thought last Saturday was ‘those seagulls can fuck off.’ It was justified. It was 5.30 and they’d just woken me up. I was next woken at 7.30 by the woman in the room next door who I think was walking around in steel reinforced stilettos. Sod it, it was time to continue working…
