"<br /><br />Blimey. One sometimes forget that landlords have lives outside of just the pub itself.<br /><br />"and soon the afore mentioned daughter Tiva comes over to say hello, gives Colin a good curious stare, and introducing him to her Tiger, which doesn't really have a name."<br /><br />Maybe he's famous enough to just go with Tiger; ya know, like Madonna or Prince or the like. ;)<br /><br />"and when I comment I'm particularly fond of the Tiger because I am a Hull City fan, he tells me where it all went wrong for us."<br /><br />Oof! And you had to smile politely while he pontificated. :)<br /><br />"and I wish them all the best for the future cos they deserve it."<br /><br />Sigh. Wishing that for all you lot over there.<br /><br />"which would be a really handy place to pop a GBG pub (just saying for future reference, thanks). "<br /><br />Never hurts to drop a hint.<br /><br />"I immediately felt guilty enough to give him a tip he scarcely deserved."<br /><br />Yikes! You really need one of those barriers between you and the driver at times.<br /><br />"they had a doggy themed area called the 'dog house' "<br /><br />Crikey. Even I would push a pun that far.<br /><br />"Absolutely brilliant"<br /><br />At least they're honest. <br /><br />"Eyes suggest that demonic 5th pub of the day experience isn't far away"<br /><br />LOL, too true!<br /><br />"Where is a plant pot when you need one eh?"<br /><br />Blimey. I just realised; they're all dying since no one's at the pub getting duff beer!<br /><br />" I'd not even realised Ghost Ship could be classed as a spooky beer."<br /><br />Tsk, tsk.<br /><br />"The heat coming off the radiator positively radiated. Guess that's why they call them that."<br /><br />(slow golf clap)<br /><br />"some had Hallowe'en fancy dress on"<br /><br />Any dressed up from Rocky Horror?<br /><br />"yep, yep, lockdown confirmed. Another drink? We'd better"<br /><br />Sigh. Bloody wankers.<br />(not them what said it, of course!)<br /><br />"Sure the staff recognise me."<br /><br />No comment. :)<br /><br />"Colin donned his devil horns and hit the limited edition JalapeƱo Mini Cheddars"<br /><br />With the reddish horns and his green ensemble he looks quite Christmasy.<br /><br />"Join me on Monday evening for part one of a three part pre-Lockdown special. "<br /><br />Just make sure to label the parts this time. ;)<br /><br />CheersRusstovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-79731797340205147462020-11-20T21:05:15.079+00:002020-11-20T21:05:15.079+00:00Wonderful photos, uplifting and poignant.Wonderful photos, uplifting and poignant.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104772948340037150noreply@blogger.com
