Don't fall for his trick to make it easier to do the GBG, he'll be calling for a ban on pubs selling DoomBar from the Beer Guide.<br /><br />Beer Guide is what it is, as long as anyone welcome without membership/fee/meal it's quality that counts. Not sure what Simon got counts as a welcome though.retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-14072558282232133362016-05-31T21:35:56.659+01:002016-05-31T21:35:56.659+01:00Probably a slightly short pint, but let's blam...Probably a slightly short pint, but let's blame Cookie anyway.retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-16892693180367548582016-05-30T08:08:29.563+01:002016-05-30T08:08:29.563+01:00Totally agreed - should be pubs only.

The brewery section is now a waste of space and should be scrapped or hived off into a separate publication (which nobody would buy).<br /><br />Arguably it should be called "CAMRA's Best of British Real Ale Pubs", but that doesn't exactly trip off the tongue.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-12731312590487611762016-05-29T23:42:49.539+01:002016-05-29T23:42:49.539+01:00I know a "Scunny Honey" (great song by t...I know a "Scunny Honey" (great song by the Geoffrey Oi!Cotts, cricket themed punk, check them out) so I'll ask her next time I see her what her views on Penistone lads are.

Hang her!<br /><br />Whilst there is no rhyme, with a very gentle modification (turning it's not into it isn't) I have manager to have your rhyming attempt into quite a catchy chant.<br /><br />I remember Legs bounding about the Charlotte Despard chasing after a tennis ball. I'm with Mudge here, he may only have three legs but he isn't mobility impaired. I hope the mutt is a contender for pet of the year.<br /><br />I have been disappointed by the lack of trauma accessing clubs recently and it pleases me that there are still some akin to Fort Knox. When I first saw them in the GBG all those years ago this is the sort of thing I thought would happen every time.<br /><br />The GBG is a Good Beer Guide. If a club serves good beer, it should be included in the publication. In my opinion, the same also applies to Bury restaurants, off licences with cask ale and market stalls.<br /><br />Mudge, the idea of interbreeding of Scunts and people from Penistone terrifies me. If I have nightmares tonight, barring them featuring Ahmed Elmohamedy again, I shall hold you responsible.<br /><br />Dagger for DuncanTom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-79482803969284941022016-05-26T14:38:48.261+01:002016-05-26T14:38:48.261+01:00I though this couldn't get any better then you...I though this couldn't get any better then you introduce Scunthorpe Mudge ! is this a reference to an earlier post, or a personal reflection ?retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-92038636053570641802016-05-26T09:30:50.061+01:002016-05-26T09:30:50.061+01:00Reminded me of going for a dump in a Railway mans ...Reminded me of going for a dump in a Railway mans club near an unmanned train station.
