If in doubt, offend everyone. Works for Si.
On the Sunday I headed to Hudders to Meet the Southworths, a film that would undoubtedly star De Niro if he hadn’t been shot by Joker.
Gritty Hudders
Two nights at Ivy Green, £28 a night and John Smith Smooth for £2.40. The red-faced Old Boy told me the Landlord was raking it in at £2.40, the Landlady glared.
“Enjoy your trip” said the red-faced local as I missed a step and fell into the Public. Wags (as opposed to WAGS).
20 minutes later I was admiring Harold.
Which was unfortunate, since I was meant to be at the Grove, where assorted Yanks and Mudges and Luke were already 5 pints to the wind.
One of the Huddersfield legends, but what’s happened here?
BrewDog signage, garish green pub name, what’s going on ?
Not a lot.
Still the premier beer house.
Far too much choice. What’s wrong with Just Bass?
In fact, I make that n-n-n-n-n-19.
Nineteen. I chose a Fallen. At random, as I was feeling sad for Scotland having inexplicably listened to their brave Rugby World Cup exit on the way up.
Scotland and brave World Cup exits go together like BRAPA and weak bladder control.
Despite a horror show of a glass, possibly five sided, the beer was top notch.
Dick perused my Beer Guide. BUT DIDN’T NICK IT.
I spoke too loudly.
No dogs licked me.
It was A GOOD START.

They’re Simon’s teeth. Hate to feel he’s not got something to moan about.
By law 75% of posts must feature Stafford Paul.

Both of those comments made me laugh out loud

I have seen more of Paul than Mrs RM, recently. I’ll leave it there.
No, actually, I’ve seen more of Mrs RM in hotels and pubs in exotic towns than at home.

LAF,
Yes, my shirt, or rather one of my shirts, in two of the pictures – but NOT my teeth as I would need to smile and that’s not going to happen .

I am waiting for a picture of false teeth attached to a pint glass 😄

I mean, you get annoyed when they’ve got even 4 or 5 beers on. I’m surprised the sight of 19 didn’t have you pounding your fist and shouting to the heavens! 😉

To me, two is as bad as nineteen!
There’s a few pubs in the country, perhaps 50, that can justify that sort of range and the Grove is definitely one of them.

If those teeth were near the Kings Head they might have been lost by one of the “mature ladies” after imbibing more Gold Label than usual on a Friday night.
