mb04 2026 Unplugged
Badly lit, poor sound. June 2026 3 nights in Bristol. Picture in Picture and settling on iMovie. The only thing that didn’t happen was the Full English on the last day in The Knights Templar.

Beers Of The Beano – Tuesday 09 June 2026
Quality Rolls and Crisps
October 2021. The last time I was in Bristol. Why did it take me so long to return? It has been a great day. New pubs, cheese and onion rolls, spring onion crisps, beef and onion crisps, and Three UK providing great bandwidth. What a cracking day.
20211021 – mb05 Day 01 Wrap
A refurbished Class 158, Temple Meads is now a huge Bike Park, PIA problems, Commercial Room Stillage, Semi Summer at LHG and another T-shirt.
Dream Team–Thursday Night Updates
Superior Stillage
You know when it rains when it isn’t forecast, however it had stopped by the time I got to Newport. Mind you the cold had arrived. The train arrived on time although it was only a two coach Class 158 but it was nicely refurbished. Bags dropped efficiently at the Ibis. Coffee in the Knights Templar and PIA needed to be uninstalled again.
The Commercial Rooms had all Autumn Festival Ales on still and there was not a dud out of the seven I had. The Shift Manager was great and it turns out she was from Aber.
Moved on to The Left Handed Giant Brewpub. Got weak and bought a T-shirt. Great place but needs faster WiFi. Quality start to #mb05.
