To everyone in Staffordshire, please take the time to real the article below and then get in touch with the Flag Institute and ask them to think again before including the Staffordshire county council coat of arms design to their register of county flags.
The great Darjeeling debarcle
I was about to start writing a post about The Great Escape Festival, but as I was writing I kinda got into a bit of a rant about tea. So I’ve chopped and changed it about a bit. Great Escape to follow, I promise. Lets begin at the beginning. It was a Thursday, it was […]
Note to self: Remember, you do have a blog!
I know what you are thinking, “Holy crap, this blog has been dormant for so long I thought you were dead!”. Well no, I’m just a crap blogger. I often can’t think of anything useful or interesting to write and when I can think of something, well… I’m just too lazy to turn the laptop […]
YouTube pranks
I known I haven’t written much lately, but to be honest I havent had anything to say and, as my mother always told me, “if you can’t say anything useful, then don’t say anything at all”. I really still don’t have anything to say, but I have found this video being banded around the internet. […]
My new years resolution
Another year ends and I find myself looking at everyone’s wrap up of the year which has been. Many taking the opportunity to join in with the Golden Pint awards. I thought about doing the same but when I went through the categories I realised just how crap I’ve been this year. I mean best foreign beer, looking back I […]
I want to go out
This is a post of self pity and loathing. No beer talk, just ranting, raving and rambling. A month or two ago I saw somewhere online that there was going to be a gathering of like minded people who all enjoyed good beer. Organised by Simon of CAMRGB and a few others, people were going to meet in […]

My job sends me all over the country. Now you would have thought that this would mean that I would be able to visit loads of different pubs, with all there different beers to try and I would be busy keeping this blog fresh with new and exciting beers to try. As you can tell, […]
A good investment
I thought I’d take a few minutes to share a recent email that I received about making good investments. I know it sounds dull but trust me, you’ll like this… If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have £49.00 today. If you had purchased £1,000 of shares […]
A god awful mistake
Walking from coast to coast is something that I have been looking forward to for some time now. For years me and my friends have sat down the pub, slightly drunk, with the promises of “Yeah, yeah, definitely next year”. Next year comes and goes and the same promise is made again in the hopes that […]
What I got for Christmas…
This is my first ever post from my new favourite toy, my new phone. Anyone who knows me at all will know that I really like my gadgets and6 “boys toys”, they’ll also probably note that I’m a tight git who saves his money for the important things, like beer and cider. So it was […]
