West Cheshire Beer Festival July 21
Posted by Mike Chapple on July 23, 2007 10:48 AM
Something near to a minor miracle occurred last Saturday
That thingy that’s hot and yellow reappeared.
Now what’s it called?
Ah yes, the sun.

Rose and Crown, Bebington, July 14
Posted by Mike Chapple on July 16, 2007 5:42 PM
Yours truly needed cheering up this week.
The monsoon rains had soaked through the shoes causing a severe case of trenchfoot and further aggravating a pickled onion-sized bunion on the right foot.
So, caught between the weather on the outside and hopping around the windowless neon prison of Castle Greyskull on the inside, the craving to escape somewhere more welcoming - with good company and a pint thrown in - reached breaking point.

It's no smoke! July 7
Posted by Mike Chapple on July 9, 2007 11:05 AM
The golden age of Viz Comic may be over.
But in its heyday it came up with some magnificently innovative and downright offensive slogans for their T-shirts and posters.
The favourite though, by a quick half, was the picture of a sozzled smoker, a fag between leering lips and with pint in hand, declaring: “Doctors say, stay in the pink with ciggies in drink.”

The Admiral, Rock Ferry. June 30
Posted by Mike Chapple on July 3, 2007 12:59 PM
A sleeping giant in a forgotten land.
That’s The Admiral a marvellous pub brimming with maritime history.
It looks out over the Mersey amid the leafy tumbledown splendour of Rock Park and adjacent to the old pier served the residents of this once well to do area.
Duuuur, hence the name Rock Ferry.
