Back to this week’s pubs and, at last, the Blind Monkey, technically HOME on my maps. Here’s a video of my epic WALK TO EVERY PUB IN SHEFFIELD No. 12 – Blind Monkey Exactly 60 seconds. Told ya. It was Bank Holiday Monday, and despite my presence IT WAS POURING. Just as well Mrs RM… Continue reading DRINKING IN THE RAIN

ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT WALKS ROUND THE CORNER
I know you’re desperate to hear my views on the European Super League this morning. Tough. Who cares ? I don’t. Read Life After Football; he knows best. Based on the poll on Blue Moon, a whopping 5% of City fans think it’s a great idea, which is good enough for me. Throw in a… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT WALKS ROUND THE CORNER
“The cask all went on Day 1 !”
April 13th. Day 2 of the Great (Semi) Reopening. Oh, and “EVERY PUB IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT – No. 1“. We stayed local. When we arrived in Sheffield back before Christmas, the Walkley Cottage looked like this; Now, new landlord installed in time for the 12th, the scaffolding has gone, but my dodgy photography (I… Continue reading “The cask all went on Day 1 !”
BOLE HILL
Loads of positive things to tell you about Britain’s First City, but I’ll need a while to compose that post, so here’s an art shot to commemorate Nearly Bass Day or whatever it is. The beer is Raspberry Blonde from Little Critters, beautifully left behind my bins by the Gardeners Rest, but can you identify… Continue reading BOLE HILL
IN THE SPRING, BECOMES THE ROSE
Enough “Guess the Pub” for today, time for some Bette Midler. Hard to believe this classic sold less copies than Spizz Energi’s “Where’s Captain Kirk” when it was released at the end of ’79, but then we Brits failed to see the merit of a number of overblown soppy epics. Did you know that “Lost… Continue reading IN THE SPRING, BECOMES THE ROSE
“Are there many pubs near you, then ?”
This blogpost may be useful to the many millions of Londoners currently fleeing for the safe harbours of The North. I was one of you once. “Pray God to survive one more weekAh, but are they happy?You’d be surprised… between the bed and the booze and the shoesThey suffer least who suffer what they choose“… Continue reading “Are there many pubs near you, then ?”
ARTISANAL IN S6
Mrs RM has joined the Wonderful Walkley Facebook page. Not much about pubs on it, so far. Not even many reminiscences about The Rose House, the only pub on South Street, Walkley’s main drag. I can’t wait to get in here and see whether they’ve got Bass on (SPOILER : **) With the Rose, and… Continue reading ARTISANAL IN S6
HIT THE NORTH
Last night we said farewell to Waterbeach, after 20 flat years, and headed to Walkley in Sheffield. I’d like to say it was a fond Farewell, but Tier 2 doesn’t allow you to pop in the Sun for a swift 2 pints, so the Chung Wa had to do. Britain’s finest Chinese. Here’s proof we… Continue reading HIT THE NORTH
