Jee thanks JD Laughing out loud

re Eclipse - We were at a grassy place in Plymouth, on some (not all that high) cliffs near the sea. THere were some rides & a big screen up - which we were glad of as it was totally clouded over. We drove down the night before & slept in the car.

Re: New members to the website - say hello here :-)

the Magpie & Crown now has a temporary landlord. A pleasant chap, but his idea of a good pint is Courage Directors!

However he is keeping some draught ales, mainly from Twickenham http://www.twickenham-fine-ales.co.uk/ The Belgian bottles have gone and it's all looking rather sad.

No luck on a permanent landlord, maybe the owners will come to their senses. In the meantime, serious beer drinkers will just go elsewhere and not come back. It's a very sad state of affairs.

So where would you recommend? I've been round most of the Brentford pubs & the Magpie (as was) was the only real choice. The Brewary Tap is decent but only has Fullers (though there are ususally 4 of them).

& I hear the bar billiards has dissapeared too Sad Any idea where it went? I'd have given it a good home

No, but you haven't seen the size of his backside.
Funny that the eclipse should be mentioned at the same time. The two are not unrelated.
