Yes

Oh there is a taproom very close though.

Don’t know if there is a Gary-approved style pub near. Although there is a flipping Michelin starred ‘pub’ a bus ride away.

Also noticed stones donated by Arsenal include ones from the Hill Woods and Bracewell Smiths plus Bob Kennedy did his first public speech at Clubland at 13yrs old. For somewhere I walked past idly yesterday, I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole today.

Clubland Not far from where I live is Clubland. No, I don’t mean the Ministry of Sound, but that is pretty close by too. Maybe the historians among you are already making connections. The church is wh…

Walked past this place, The Clubland Methodist Church, in Walworth yesterday. Surprised to read that not only did Michael Caine take his first steps into acting here but it was also built from the donations of various luminaries including Bertie Mee of Arsenal.

Some old school Arsenal spotted on the Old Kent Road.

Dead pub - St Brides Tavern, Bridewell Place EC4.

Don’t think they’ve got a jukebox alas. Actually can’t recall if they had anything audio wise. Christ, Jaipur is heady stuff.

Pub one for them.

The fabulous Lord Nelson, Old Kent Rd. Load of people in starting the Monopoly board pub crawl.

The Wild Swan, Fetter Lane. New Thronbridge brewery pub. Outside isn’t much to look at but the inside is terrific and they’ve got all their amazing casks plus a great array of lagers on. Jaipur set me back £6.60.

The Hoop & Grapes, near Fleet Street. New Shepard Neame pub in the city.

To the pub!

Secrets and Lies - The Final Touch - BBC Sounds Twin brothers, both professional footballers, torn apart by secrets and lies.

Not touching this muck either.

A hungover Sunday watching flicks; Weapons, massively overhyped and fell apart in the 3rd act. Caught Stealing, mostly shite. Blue Moon, loved.

Kings Head for the Old Farm Derby then hit the Maid for some £5 pints. A few decent drops in there.

The Blue Maid in Borough High Street is today celebrating the first anniversary of its reopening. Draught beers will be £5 all day, including a special edition ‘Maid of Borough’ Birthday Pale Ale from UnBarred Brewery of Brighton (+ free beer if you turn up in a mermaid costume)

You can also get Carling Black Label down there for a bit of a retro retread.

Charlie's Angels (1977)

Charlie's Angels (2000)

We are now further away in time from Charlie's Angels than Charlie's Angels was from Charlie's Angels when they made Charlie's Angels.

I’ve seen it across two or three programmes on the idiot box recently which entirely constitutes a sweeping trend across television.

Alright alright, the Billy Joel songs in TV shows were mildly fun in the mildly fun The Boys a while ago but now everyone is at it. I’m pro-Joel but someone does something cool, everyone then kicks that poor dead horse into luncheon meat.
