mb05 2025 Unplugged
Badly lit, poor sound. The morning and evening updates on mb05 in Gloucester. I nearly missed one when Apple’s WWDC was on bit I got it back in the end.
20250610 mb05 Day 03 Wrap
Sometimes, eve taking it easy takes it out of you. However, the quality Beanoing must continue and what a find The Thirsty Pine is. Brought to you by the same people behind The Siren’s Calling. A must return if there ever was one. Bye Bye mb05, you were a corker.
Beers Of The Beano - Tuesday 10 June 2025
Time to move on to The Craft Beer cans in The Lord High Constable of England. More thoughts on WWDC 2025 and a Piney Bar.
20250609 mb05 Day 02 Wrap
A day when Costa Customer service gets puts behind process. Videoing a Gorilla not people. Turks Head closed and a wonderful afternoon in the Pelican. WWDC was interesting, the iPad changes stood out but Oh! what a reality distortion field.
Beers Of The Beano - Monday 09 June 2025
Costa, customers are more important than chairs. The video is of Gorillas. Thge Turks Head is not open on a Monday and The Pelican is The UK’s Wiinner.
20250608 mb05 Day 01 Wrap
A sunny but fresh start to mb05, leaving Bedwas just before 06:00. There was a surprising amount of traffic all on of the rounds. Checked the car in at the Premier Inn and had a little explore before The Lord High Constable of England opened. The LHCoE really needs to let it’s Cask Ales rest more before they are served. Still the beers were good though. Sainsbury’s for an Apple Gift Card (Overcast renewal) and sandwiches. Extra Nectar points on the app. Five Guys for a double burger and lots of chips at a very high price.
The Hop Kettle next, where they have really good staff and Fine Ales but still no WiFi. A free half of Cask Ale on their savings card and then off to check in at the Premier Inn. Ground floor room with poor radio reception and it seems now that you can only get WiFi by the day.
Beers Of The Beano - Sunday 08 June 2025
In non video news, the earbuds I lost, I found in the car. A sunny but blowy day. The Lord High Constable of England could do with letting it’s Cask Ales rest longer. A free Cask Ale in the Hop Kettle due the their savings scheme. Lots of WWDC Podcasts and sarnies from Sainsbury’s.
