Brighton’s Resident’s Top 100:

(Fingers crossed that this long link works.)
(Edit – it seems to.)

Lenny Law has seen fit to mention the Portsmouth perception of the Prince:

Single: “Mouldy Old Dough” – Lieutenant Pigeon
Album: “American Pie” – Don Mclean
CD: Possibly(?) “Flaunt the Imperfection” – China Crisis
Gig: Duke Ellington and his Orchestra – Hammersmith Odeon 1967/8?

I had three with my (gastro-)pub lunch on Sunday. This time last year this would have caused problems for the rest of the day, particularly during the two and half hour journey home from the dowager aardvarkess’s […]

Mine is an arctophile – that needs plenty of shelving too. That probably uses more space than our collection of CDs (predominantly mine).

All sorts of opinions are available about Jamie Oliver but this quote (which I heard him make on TV) still makes me smile:

“My wife loves rabbit, she’s had it lots of times – she thinks it’s chicken.”

Point of order . . .
Beards and Harveys never merged. During the second world war Beards became a pub owning company and outsouced (before that was a thing) the brewing of ‘their’ beers to Harveys.

Eventualy […]

Announced on RadMac too!

Long ago I quaffed the odd pint of Hull Brewery Mild – very enjoyable.

I really ought to try the Harvey’s version.

Are your sure about Cointreau?

Unfortunately I’m quite fond of it. A more discerning friend tried to switch me to Grand Marnier – either is fine.

The Kray twins were held there briefly.
(According to a recentish docusoap.)

My current VW has a DSG gearbox and the Auto-hold feature and for some reason my experience is different to yours. When the car is stopped in traffic the engine stops and parking brake is automatically engaged. No […]

Long ago (1994?) I used the Swansea – Cork ferry to get across Eire for a week of hill walking.

At that time the vessel in use had started out serving routes in Aegean. In some parts this still showed in the […]

Minor correction – Over the weekend I recalled that my day trip to Eigg was from Arisaig.

I’ve not done the crossing to Armadale but I expect that it can’t avoid being scenic (unless the clagg is down). However I have been from Mallaig to Eigg and back on a glorious sunny day and that was great, as was […]

I think that the architecture is such that everything goes into the Blog.

I also guess that I’m not alone in using the Blog page as my landing pad when I drop in on the AW. For myself, and any others like me, […]

Fort William you say?

I’ve never heard of a ferry sailing from Fort Bill and I’ve been there often enough.

Perhaps you meant Mallaig?

You have to go through Fort William to get there, it’s a bit of a trek […]

Mention of a ferry brings this to my mind:

(Partly because I heard about someone somewhere who heard “fairy” and not “ferry”.)

Am I missing something here?

They’re there and they’re even on offer!

Also the “North British” Booths:

That’s verging on not-boring.

How will/did the dogs react to the activities of the sweep?

How strong is the chilli ketchup?
