Networks Just Don’t Work

WiFi won’t connect, VPN drops, Ultimate WiFi isn’t and only just 5G signal. It’s the last day of #mb10. There’s a fresh cask of Cowcatcher on at the Regal and it’s drinking well. The Turks Head has cheese and onion rolls everyday of the week. I need more pubs like this. Installing the Pixel 6a security updates in The Pelican. Tech, beer and travel.

Up, Bath, go back to bed, things, go back to bed again. Who knows? Late start and there are Squirrels everywhere. Port Stout in The Regal, where the three planes have gone. It’s only King Kong left now. Lots of Politics going on. The first time I have seen 5G Tesco (O2) and it’s in the centre of Gloucester.  The Turks Head, cash only but a winner. No WiFi, great Land Lady. Faster WiFi and a great selection of Fine Ales, then it’s @thepelicanglos for you. Vodafone and Three to merge?

Squirrel Politics Monday

So either the cold is back or maybe it’s a hangover, I’m going with both. So, it was a late start and there were Squirrels everywhere. The Regal has lost its three planes, so it’s just King Kong left. Politics Monday and the 45% tax rate is to remain. The Regal really is good at keeping cask ale. The Turks Head, a great Land Lady and cask ales. Even faster WiFi in The Pelican and still a great selection of Fine Ales.

Sunday morning in Spoons, watching the world go by and catching up on things. All day brunch. A gentle end to OktoberfestGloucester 2022. A Winter Beer Festival in February? Premiere Elements 2023 woes. The cold is back.

The Last Day and Maybe February

It may be raining back home but it’s cool, calm and dry in Gloucester, well at least for now.  Watching the world go by in The Lord High Constable Of England. And the Sunday is much quieter and for me much better. A February Winter? Who knows?  Salt appears. 

Oktoberfest in October

Tech Beer Beanos often mean that even when you get up early you are running late. Faster upload speeds would help here. The Saturday Wrap from The High Constable Of England with for the first time, additional lighting. Brewhouse and Kitchen for 10:00 only to discover that the bar doesn’t open until 11:00. Nice Coffee though.  So, running out of Festbiere and truncated video due to live music and and similar. Packed out on a Saturday afternoon.

The Hat, the Gentle Mist, The Severn Pea Souper and The Firm Alarm evacuation on arrival. Cheaper Costa Meal Deal and a morning in The Lord High Constable of England. A QR, A Glass, A Geography Lesson then a HotDog with Sauerkraut. These and poor weather are what Mini Beanos are all about. Very Good Times. 

The First Hat Wearing Since 2019

The first Gloucester Oktoberfest since 2019 and the hat is back in action. Apart from the peasouper on the Severn Bridge there were pretty patches of mist on the way to Gloucester. Someone, blow drying their hair set the Fire Alarm off at Premier Inn Gloucester Quays. Costa Coffee and The Lord High Constable of England for the Prelude. It rained, the Internet went down in Warehouse 4 but I had a positive attitude and genuine Okoberfest Biers. Back tomorrow and Sunday for more, also I had Chips and Sauerkraut.

The months finally catch up with the mb numbers, well at least from the second day. Back to The Gloucester Brewery Oktoberfest for the first time since 2019 and yes I will be taking my hat. Three days of Festing then two days in The Pelican and yes lots of Tech. Late in, a blow dry hair fire alarm start.
