What happened on the third day of mb05 2026
Start the day with a Spoons breakfast and extra butter. Go to Liverpool Street where my Oyster card fails. Upstairs which is cooler now opens at 11:00. Hot walk to the Crosse Keys. Table 135 upstairs with cooling Marble. Slightly better WiFi and the adequate ThreeUK. Tom has an accent. Fighter pilots and wonderful calculators. A virtual Pub crawl.

What happened on the second day of mb05 2026
Hats off to the Comfort Cooling in The Premier Inn and the WiFi is non too shabby too. What a great Spoons the Sun Wharf is. Mr B arrived. Football and Beer. GPS doesn’t always work well in the City. More Beer, More Pubs and Borough Market. Nearly became a Doctor and a hot tube back.
20260707 mb05 Day 01 Wrap
An early train that ends up going backwards from Bristol Parkway. Always use Google Maps not your Spidey Sense. Easy to miss Premier Inn and the Spoons around the corner bar does not open until 10:00. The Crosse Keys is huge, has portable aircon units but only Cloud WiFi. The Bear In Paddington meets 90% of my Beanoing needs. I got to The Premier Inn and immediately feel asleep. Climate Climate no doubt.

Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 20 June 2026
Cinnamon and Full English
A Saturday morning Full English for the first time in ages in the Malcolm Uphill at table 30, my coal mine booth. Then I moved on to the Lock-Up bottle shop, but it was closed. It did eventually open up; however, no video because of lots of loud music in the background, and I didn’t want a takedown.
In the afternoon, the Project in Caerphilly. A Welsh cake, lots of Fine Ales, wonderful air conditioning, and Cinnamon. Who’d have thought? Lots of Cinnamon.
