In case you wondered, yes I am intent on getting more posts out of Wolves than Richard. Beaten on quality, but never on quantity. I could have put these bonus photos on Facebook, but of course then my personal data would be sold to the Russian organisation trying to get us to vote “YES” to… Continue reading ROUNDING UP THE WOLVES WONDERS

WOLVES – IT ENDS WITH A CURRY…
Unlike the hardened Professional Drinkers on the Beer and Pubs Forum (note the pre-eminence of the “Beer“), I can’t do a whole day drinking from 10am to 10pm, and by dusk it was time for a curry and bed. The trip into the centre takes you past some great art, both new and more traditional.… Continue reading WOLVES – IT ENDS WITH A CURRY…
“THE DOOG”, THE DOOLEYS AND DRAUGHT MILD
For five points, name the player on the floor (above) being skimmed by Derek Dougan, hero of our next Wolves pub. Pub Curmudgeon knows a thing or two about Heritage pubs, and after the Banks’s tour we headed for one, across what can charitably be called “Salt of the earth Wolverhampton”.

The one from Tonbridge with Mrs RM and Paul Bailey doing karaoke in the Man of Kent is in there, somewhere. But the evidence from Wolverhampton last… Continue reading PULLING UP TREES IN WOLVES
BURTON’S DOG – BLACK COUNTRY REDEMPTION
I’ve been a bit critical of Black Country Ales pubs on here recently. Their pubs in Halesowen, Worcester, Leicester and even the Welly in Brum seemed to have far too many beers on for their trade. In fact, whenever I see someone defend them,they always start “It’s a great pub, they always have a… Continue reading BURTON’S DOG – BLACK COUNTRY REDEMPTION
HOORAY ! HOORAY ! IT’S A STOURBRIDGE HOLIDAY
Some people use pub cats to attract your attention; I’m sticking to weird Boney M references. And of course, the lure of Stourbridge. This was a Friday night beer and curry with Dereham’s top toper Charles. I think Mrs RM was “smashing the system” or something that night. We missed her. We chose a Friday… Continue reading HOORAY !
