Your Dad gave it 10, and with a heavy heart I'm afraid I can only manage to give it 6. Lack of blackcurrant forces a heavy deduction on an otherwise excellent pub. If you take the blackcurrant out of some of the worse performers last season, I might have ended up giving a 1 or 2, so it still isn't a bad score.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-43582631849859192022015-08-10T14:24:41.444+01:002015-08-10T14:24:41.444+01:00Hi Dad, I think it was more a case of 'asking ...Hi Dad, I think it was more a case of 'asking with your eyes' as you looked perplexed by the total lack of hand pumps, with everything in barrells on the back wall. <br /><br />I'd like to see Jarrod given a chance but we never risk youth enough as Tom says, we are good at ruining them too!Si 'BRAPA' Everitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291680772889990384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-65139883188055917692015-08-07T17:34:07.844+01:002015-08-07T17:34:07.844+01:00I don't remember asking where the beer was, bu...I don't remember asking where the beer was, but it might have been the lack of pumps and what not on the bar.

I also, however, have a very low opinion on Hull City Association Football Club (Tigers) Limited's ability to bring on and nurture young talent. The closest I have seen us come in coming on 20 years of supporting the club now is Mike Edwards and Mark Greaves, the former was released far too early and had (or has, I think he might still be going at Notts) a very successful career, and Greavsie was signed from Brigg so doesn't count. I thought it might happen under Nige with one/two/all of Mark Cullen, Jamie Devitt and Will Atkinson, but then the mad Doctor made Nige run away, sacked Barmby and gave Senor Brucenoni a virtually blank chequebook, thus seeing said youngsters tossed aside. I see no reason to think that we will do the right thing by young Jarrod, or indeed by any of his fine colleagues whom we saw on Saturday.<br /><br />I think you mentioned your Silkstone Common friends shortly after I got the shack tick, quite possibly when I was saying what I thought of the locality. Why don't you arrange to meet up with them on a Tuesday night in Penistone, then take them to Thurlstone?<br /><br />Do you need anything in Lytham or St. Annes for Blackpool? I would suggest Preston, but we're going there anyway, unless you want to go out of the box twice. What about Knott End, the opposite ferry terminal to Fleetwood?<br /><br />For some reason, when scrolling down, I glanced over your "unsurprisingly painful cross country journey" and immediately connected voyagers to Oxford United, in that they're both shit and they smell of shit. I don't know why I haven't thought of that before.<br /><br />Enjoy Denby, it is a cracking shack tick, fine viaduct. If I remember slightly, couple of different ways out of the single platformed shack, one of which is an uneven lane down to the main round.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-58107552536211710982015-08-05T17:12:17.172+01:002015-08-05T17:12:17.172+01:00Hi Tom, on train to Denby Dale and whilst I always...Hi Tom, on train to Denby Dale and whilst I always take your ideas seriously, the Penistone pub doesn't open til 7pm and not prepared to be out too late.

Which, by the way, feature an extended Witherspoons beer garden, something I didn't think possible, or indeed desirable. It features traffic cones and some plastic ,fencing designed to segregate building works.<br /><br />I have to say that I enjoyed your perplexed response to the group of three's cranking in the front coach. Whilst HSTs, particularly of the re-engined variety, aren't particularly my cup of tea, I do partake in such activity when behind a half decent loco. <br /><br />Might I suggest combining Upper Denby with Penistone? That is what I did with my Denby Dale and Penistone (and Silkstone Common, Wombwell and Dodworth) shack ticks, they are just opposite sides of the border. And doing both on Wednesday night. Your original schedule was far too conservative for the month. I hereby certify that your 8 tasks have been satisfactorily completed.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.com
