Pre Beano Beano
When you are going on a Beano, #mb17 by the way. You can’t just go, you need training. That’s where the Malcolm Uphill #Caerphilly comes in. By the way, not all ciders are cider. Some are Festive Ales.
Early Parcel Truncation
A Yellow Rain warning. The Emergency Pre Christmas Haircut and settle into The Malcolm Uphill. And then a text. My parcel for Monday was coming today. And that’s your lot.

Strange GMT Feeling Beano
Yellow rain warning, Yellow wind warning and sodden in the Malcolm Uphill. England lost in the Rugby, I got on the Penarth Flyer in the Sun. Head of Steam and Beelzebubs and the rain was back. Dorothy’s chip and it was rush to The City Arms to avoid getting sodden again. Early return home and there was minor flooding in Wood Street #Cardiff
GMT Weather and Purdah
GMT arrives with two days of frost and then two days of a cutting North Wind. The upside bug has been fixed, apple updates, an election and Untappd supporter #SaturdayWrap
Stillage Fest
A sign of old age no doubt but it was just Caerphilly on the last day of my leave. It was also the first day of the Wetherspoon’s Autumn Real Ale Festival. The Malcolm Uphill has all 40 Ales and six on Stillage. Good times.
Replacement Can Half Saturday
The Indian Summer has gone, it’s getting dark in the mornings and the rain, well the rain, it doesn’t stop. Also as it’s the end of the month, times are getting hard. So it’s only a half day in Caerphilly and an emergency Autumn haircut. The replacement for the Sixpoint cans have arrived in Wetherspoons. One from BrewDog and the other from Oakham Ales. They are not bad but I preferred the Sixpoint Ales. It was a Cloud Burst day and I was home for One.
A week of Buggy Software and Weather Warnings
Saturday Wrap – 28 September 2019
The Indian Summer has ended and it’s been a week of wind, rain and weather warnings. A sweet Pixel 3a Android 10 upgrade. Buggy Android, Windows, iOS and iPadOS software this week and why software companies should concentrate more on quality than quantity of software. The Rugby World Cup 2019 and it’s effect on Pubs and beer. Live from The Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly #SaturdayWrap
Lolffest7 – 03 August 2019
There is something about Lolffest or in this case Lolffest7. It’s a roughly quarterly beer festival at Bragdy Twt Lol, on the Treforest Industrial Estate in South Wales. Bragdy is Welsh for Brewery so if you are an English speaker, so of the spellings may look unusual.
Then of course my local Spoons, The excellent Malcolm Uphill in Caerphilly. Got to do a bit of prep of Lolffest doesn’t start until 12:00
It’s only about a 20 minute bus ride to The Treforest Industrial Estate. Get off at The Pottery. Go down the road between The Pottery and The QED Centre, cross the bridge and it’s 200m on the left hand side.
Take a photo of the nut they said. I had no idea it was Aluminium.
Getting there early gets you the pick of the seats, or in this case casks. Of course I ended up in the corner.
The fridge magnets are bottle openers too. Two Quid to you Guvnor. Pretty Fly For A Magpie was the pick of the Fine Ales. The oversize glass is a winner too.
Hoppy, fruity and refreshing.
It did however rain on the way home. The Great British Summer of course.
