My thoughts on Beer during this month of Weather
mb01 2024 Unplugged
Low quality, drunk and sober comments on mb01 2024 in Portishead.
20240107 mb01 Day 02 Wrap
All you can eat Full English to beat the cold weather. Strangely no frost. Then onto The Posset Cup, where someone had superglued a 10p to my table. I seem to have developed a taste for Doombar. Extra Nectar points at Sainsbury’s, things then back to The Siren’s calling. Drinking LocAle. Nothing Else Matters.
Superglued 10p
Strangely no frost but it was dark, chilly and with a hint of damp before my Premier Inn Full English. A 10p was superglued to the table in The Posset Cup.
Back to The Siren’s Calling. Drinking all Local Ales with some winners in cans. Nippy out. Guy playing Guitar. Nothing Else Matters.
20240106 mb01 Day 01 Wrap
The car was frosted up, so it was two hot water bottles on the dash and de-icing fluid everywhere else. The journey to the M4 was following a driver even slower than me. No frost in Portishead and Spoons was Coffee and Guest Ales. The Siren’s Calling was all Bristol and Belgian Ales. Chips from next door as well. A cold Beano but a quality Beano.
Belgian and Bristol
Looking out of the window and seeing all the parked cars frosted up. Two hot water bottles on the dash, half an hour better I left. No frost in Portishead and three guest ales in The Posset Cup.
It was a bit sunny. The Siren’s Calling was all Belgian and Bristol Ales. Rather expensive chips from next door as well. Tech support and Red Sky at night. Good 2024 times.
20240106 Prelude mb01 Portishead January 24
Minus 0.8c and a frosty start. Double hot water bottle on the dash and plenty of deicing fluid on the windscreen. A slow, even for Wales, journey to the M4. Sometimes, you follow really slow drivers. A nice, gentle drive from there in and it was just getting light as I arrived in Portishead. No frost either.
The Posset Cup to start and the afternoon in The Siren Calling. Wall to wall podcasts.
