New Moon On Monday.

As I may have mentioned occasionally, my favourite Duran Duran song is New Moon On Monday. When Walsall played Crawley away in October my mate and owner of the superb Eclipse Records in The Crossing At St Paul’s by the bus station in Walsall, the mega cool Pete Holland checked into a pub there called…

A Gusty Good Day In Walsall.

On March 28th, Blackpool Jane made a pilgrimage down to Walsall so a catch and a wander had to be done. Strolling into town and yet again I had strange thoughts in my head. This time I was pondering if the band Texas ever played in said state and I wondered what the biggest country…

Walsall Brekkie, Brunch And Dinner.

Happy Easter Sunday. I’d grab your Mini Eggs Easter Egg and grab a cuppa, then settle down and read another 3 of my Walsall food reviews. Youngs Cafe, 120 The Green, Darlaston, WS10 8JP. Reviewed 14/02/26. Valentines Day didn’t get off to a great start. I slipped on ice, flying off my doorstep and landing…

Back To The Future…Via Marylebone.

I’ve never seen a show in London. In truth I’ve not seen many in the West Midlands either having come into the theatre life at a late stage. It never bothered me, the London thing per se and it wasn’t on my bucket list, but then I started to get adverts for Back To The…

Spice Up Your Life In Walsall.

I like curry. I may have eluded to this in the past, but I certainly didn’t inherit this from my parents. So it was time to get out there and get some more curry house reviews and spicy goodness, under my belt. Here are 3 excellent curry house visits. Laboni, 10 Anchor Road, Aldridge, WS9…

Fawlty Towers Or Was It Flowery Twats?

You’ve got to love Fawlty Towers haven’t you? Loved the tv show and inherited the VHS box set from my parents. When I heard there was a stage show, I wanted in. I mentioned it to my colleague Carole who said she was going to see it that Saturday afternoon, having bought the tickets a…

You Can Be My Unlucky Star.

Last Saturday didn’t really go to plan. I had wanted to go The Registry for breakfast as it was its last day opening before it closed for just under a fortnight for a change in management company. However I had exciting sausages from Asda (“exceptional” bacon & maple syrup pork sausages – not sure how…

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…
