If you become the first to officially declare completion and get a gold bust of R.Protz at the CAMRA National Beer Event in Maidenhead next year, I'll be at the front applauding with happy tears in my eyes.<br /><br />I think Tom is determined to get the photo to Nicole, but watch this space just in case, you are first reserve. Royal Children had the shell of what could be a good pub, but it wasn't exactly 'on form' last Wednesday!

I can only look on in awe.<br /><br />Yes, perhaps it was fate Nicole found the GBG, and the sequence of events culminating in a little prize for her, to prove to her we aren't all 'dicks'. (She's probably right in 80% of cases though, but don't tell anyone I said that!)<br /><br />Oh yes, I think Eddie will be happily influenced - hopefully meeting his old mate Bernard Ev will be enough and we can end up calling the shots!

In particular, note that your last free Grand Central north is retimed to leave Kings Cross at 18:08. The first Grand Central south doesn't get to Kings Cross until 11:21.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963891586230251906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-78260502830028879672019-10-31T22:02:14.605+00:002019-10-31T22:02:14.605+00:00Are you implying that Si isn't a lunatic, Matt...Are you implying that Si isn't a lunatic, Matthew?Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963891586230251906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-25493110426791821782019-10-31T21:24:31.575+00:002019-10-31T21:24:31.575+00:0053 is brilliant work, Si.

Royal Children was a GBG regular 20 years ago, thought it was good when I popped in last year.<br /><br />Can I have the photo of Tom if Nicole doesn't deserve it.

Congrats on the 53rd BRAPA pub of the month-- when you approach the "2 new pubs per day" average you have surely joined the circle of All Time Legends.<br /><br />In a funny way the "lost and then found GBG" became a kind of inspirational BRAPA sequence of events, not that I'm hoping for you to lose it again! At the very least, I feel certain Nicole has modified her views, deciding that not absolutely everyone who drinks beer is a dick. ;)<br /><br />I do like the idea of pointing things "in a BRAPerly direction." I look forward to reading about how you succeeded in doing just that!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945111032393179632noreply@blogger.com
