So many songs with eight (8) in the title, and I choose A Tribe Called Quest.
Yes, it’s started.
Yesterday saw a nine hour journey from the Chung Hwa to a four poster bed in Kingussie accessed by a secret code, a journey beset with disasters such as a detour through Grantham, flooded motorway in Coatbridge, and Mrs RM playing M People.
Baa Baa Toure expects four poster beds all the time now.
Slightly less grand, Wick brings you down to earth after a glorious run through Sutherland this morning.
But at least it’s got the world’s shortest street (it’s a con).
It won’t have a Spoons much longer, it closes on Sunday leaving Wick bereft of bargain Tennents and bacon baps.
The staff offered no clue as to the future, but they leave a cheery Spoons offering a very decent Portobello (3) in the absence of Doom Bar,
and a characteristically on message note about our Queen.
You can rely on Tim Martin to reflect the mood of the nation.
What have BrewDog said ?
Anyhow, the last eight (8).

Greetings from the Spoons in Hawick, which is heaving and the beer is excellent, to the point that they’ve just run out.

The 80/ was awful when I was in Hawick the other month, but I loved the town. You should be in Rousay tomorrow.

Belhaven 80/- was all they had left but it was on cracking form.

Martin I feel a little cursed that I’m on the road just as you reach the triumphant conquering moment, and doing a poor job following along as the final pubs fall.
Hats off to you slaying the mighty GBG— it really is a monumental achievement, and I don’t want to miss a moment of it!

Your support means the world to me.
