Oh no, scary new music that’s not 50/70 year old blokes still playing their ’90s/’70s hits ! Don’t worry, there’ll be another pub post along in a minute. I finished an epic Wednesday in London, NOT in the Parcel Yard but just behind it at Lafayette, a new basement venue tucked into the flashy new… Continue reading MATILDA MANN MANIA

ANOTHER INADVISABLE ESB AT THE PARCEL YARD
We headed back along Oxford Street into Fitzrovia and back to King’s Cross, cheered by an afternoon of London discovery, ticking and culture. London’s main shopping street seems to consist entirely of “Candy” stores. But there’s beauty, everywhere. Amorino ices on Goodge Street was a joy, too. I reckon James deserved 3 scoops after letting… Continue reading ANOTHER INADVISABLE ESB AT THE PARCEL YARD
THAT UNWISE FINAL PINT OF ESB IN THE PARCEL YARD

The last day before Lockdown 2, with no idea how long it might last, and whether there’d actually be any pubs to return to. Disastrously, I’d allowed young BRAPA to score more GBG ticks than me in… Continue reading A LAST HURRAH
QUEUEING FOR BEER
You might on occasion think this blog is a bit obsessed with BRAPA, and of course you’d be right. Laughing at Simon’s “antics” has either added or taken 3 years to/from my life, and his lack of litigation awareness means I can nick whole words without fear of being sued. And that obsession clearly runs… Continue reading QUEUEING FOR BEER
SCOTTISH STORES, KING’S CROSS
I don’t make the train journey to Kings Cross anything like I used to have to, so I really appreciate a more leisurely exploration of ever-changing WC1. My pre-journey drink always used to be the Chinese tea in Chop Chop Noodles across the road, as Craft Islington and the Queen’s Head were a few minutes too far.… Continue reading SCOTTISH STORES, KING’S CROSS
