Braving Micklegate (sort of)

Pub number 43: Montey's Rock Cafe

"It's a bit loud isn't it?"
"What?"
"I said IT'S A BIT LOUD ISN'T IT?"
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"IT'S A BIT LOUD ISN'T IT????!!!"
"I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU. SHALL WE GO? IT'S A BIT LOUD."


Pub number 44: Priory

Although the rules of the pub crawl don't state that we're only allowed to have one drink in each pub, it is something that we've been making a habit of. So it made a nice change to stay in the same place for more than half an hour.

The pub itself was quite a pleasant surprise, an oasis of calm amongst the maelstrom of paralytic hen parties and staggering students that is Micklegate. Most of us had been here in the past, but none of us for a while. Decent beer, interesting cocktails and a good selection of tunes on the jukebox made for a good night.

Lynne was sick, but I'm not allowed to post that picture...!

Normal Services Will Be Resumed... Eventually

Well it seems that the blog will be quiet for the next few weeks, not because we're arguing about whose turn it is to post (there's no need - it's Paul's turn), but because we're all so damn busy:

Paul and I are in the middle of a weekends-in-October tour of the UK (St Helens, Manchester, Birmingham, Lichfield, Reading...), Lynne is on the African Leg of her own small world tour, and Neil's having a nose job (or something to that effect) which will render him out of action for a few days. And lets face it -James' attendence is intermittent at best.

Maybe we'll take a moment to comment on the pubs in Birmingham, and we should probably definitely comment on the pubs in Reading since we will all be there, visiting guest pub crawler, Comedy Jo.

Whatever happens over the next few weeks, don't worry about us, we'll be back crawiling along within the city wall limits in no time.
