On Sunday night I proved what a big softy I am by not only letting Matt have my ticket to see top popsters Loathe, but also driving him and Emma back across the Snake Pass at 23:00 because the trains from Sheffield end early, it being levelling up and all. With James joining the Loathers… Continue reading TOO MUCH TOO YOUNG

FEELING FESTIVE AT THE STAG’S HEAD
Sheffield has made Time Out’s list of “city breaks you must do before the next variant” or whatever. Clearly this simply reflects my own move a year ago, and if I move again in 2022 you can expect Carluke to make that list. Sheffield scores highly on green space (see below), shuffleboard bars and crumbling… Continue reading FEELING FESTIVE AT THE STAG’S HEAD
FELIZ NAVIDAD (AND A BELGIAN BLUE)
On Wednesday I swallowed half a tooth. Not only is that expensive, my immediate thought was “I’m going to choke to death and miss the next lockdown“. “HELP !” I called to Mrs RM, trying to bring up the tooth (sorry if you’re eating your tea). “Shhh. I’m working” said Mrs RM. Luckily my dentist… Continue reading FELIZ NAVIDAD (AND A BELGIAN BLUE)
£6.34 ! HOW DO THEY DO IT ?
The buses in Sheffield are pretty smooth, at least compared to the Isle of Wight. I might use them again when the Hungry Horse at Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre gets in the Guide. Back in town, Sheffield Hatter abandoned me in Castle Square. Will has boycotted Spoons, presumably because their low pricing puts at risk… Continue reading £6.34 ! HOW DO THEY DO IT ?
“Would You Like Me To Tie Your Shoelaces Up For You ?”
Last Thursday I still had no Beer Guide, but I did know some of the entries because a nice chap (let’s call him Teddie Misthut to preserve his anonymity) had told me and copied a few pages on the Dark Web. Most strikingly, we have a new entry in east Sheffield. Who even knew Sheffield… Continue reading “Would You Like Me To Tie Your Shoelaces Up For You ?”
TO THE MOORS
When we look back critically at our first year in The North next month we’ll balance the progress on the hedge and the calories lost walking up Whitehouse Lane against progress on the hedge and a failure to get to grips with the Peak District on our doorstep. Well, the Peak will always be there,… Continue reading TO THE MOORS
ANTIQUE SHOPPING IN HEELEY
The Privileged Few get their advance copy of the new Good Beer Guide (2022) in the next week, and the whole process of GBG ticking starts afresh. My Ticking Year (£25.99 via Amazon) will come to an end when the Guide is officially released on 12 November (ideal Christmas present for your niece) and the… Continue reading ANTIQUE SHOPPING IN HEELEY
SHEFFIELD’S PUB HERITAGE
The problem with Sheffield, if you’re a pub ticker, is that it’s easy to be distracted from The True Path (ONLY visit new GBG pubs, don’t get distracted by revisits and beer festivals and keg pubs). We’re getting a few visitors now from backwaters such as Cambridge and Dereham and Hook, and they all expect… Continue reading SHEFFIELD’S PUB HERITAGE
ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT REACHES THE QUESTIONABLE CAFE BARS
Sheffield doesn’t rest on its laurels. Another month, another new bar opening to follow Heist and Perch this summer. More options for the ever increasing number of undergraduates flooding into the city’s new build student residences, I guess. Mrs RM actually finds out about these new openings before me, or at least she did before… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT REACHES THE QUESTIONABLE CAFE BARS
IN DA CLUB (ECCLESALL ROAD)
I’m making decent progress towards the GBG, a dozen new ticks a week is typical, but I keep being distracted by Sheffield. And after a mucked up attempt to complete Sheffield with BRAPA this month, in which I left Simon in the care of more experienced Pub Men, I was feeling miffed I’d missed the… Continue reading IN DA CLUB (ECCLESALL ROAD)
