Greetings from the luxury of my suite at the Days Inn, Michaelwood Services. Us pub tickers know how to live. Rubbish WiFi, the biggest issue of the age, but I did get this; BRAPA stays in Premier Inns, being flush, and I think Duncan sleeps in his car so he can afford the £16.70 half… Continue reading BOYS DON’T CRY (£18.60 / PINT REMIX)
