    Clare did the quiz at The Britannia last night. They drew but lost in the tie break. Not sure of the full details but doesn't sound like the deserved to get that far, they couldn't come up with the first name of Frankenstein, so plumped for Henry. And freakishly got it marked correct, as the name Henry was used in the film. No-one knows why the name was changed from Victor (in the book), it is a mystery of monstrous proportions.

    The Incredible Hulk's real name was also fouled up in the same way. Though this did not form part of last night's quiz.

    The sausage and mash was very nice apparently. GBP6 per head, including your food. Might well see you there on some future Wednesday...

  • Chambers - ST Patricks Day

    Work birthday outing on Friday night, so glad they'd picked Escondido, it was great. Then a couple of pints in Gate 28 and I could feel I was getting a bit too squiffy, so I called it a night early, didn't want to make a lasting impression on my first night out with new colleagues. I tried to go home, I really did, but then I bumped into a friend on the way so went back to The Ship and had a very nice evening. I think.

    Yesterday was great also, I went shopping and bought an antique, then went to Chambers for out St Patricks night do. The band were only OK, not really Irish enough, and definitely didn't play enough of the good songs, but we had a great time anyway, lots more beer.

    On the subject of beer, I drank my homebrew, no-one was very impressed with it though, and also my CAMRA membership turned up.

    I nearly forgot to post this, hope your St Patrick's day was good:

  • Dover Town Hall (Maison Dieu) (Biggin Street, Dover, Kent) Dover Winter Ales Festival

    Picked up the local CAMRA 'zine in The Britannia on Wednesday. As well as reminding me (too late) that it's Dover Winter Ales festival at Dover Town Hall this weekend (was great when I have been previously, though no fun queueing to get in in this weather), I learned more... Unfined Beer sounds like a great concept, I could enjoy beer with a clear vegan conscience - cloudy cider is great, so why not traditional cloudy ale? See moorbeer.co.uk for more details.

    Also the new owners of Vasa are Henry and Jude from the Three Mariners and they are considering offering a real ale in there, lawks! That would be great. Can't see them getting enough customers in there to get through a barrel of ale in time, even if every single one of them ordered it right now. Went in over christmas and it was very quiet. Still best of luck to you. If you get one in let me know and I will pop down

  • Britannia Inn (26 Horn Street, Seabrook, Near) Quiz and dinner

    Clare did the quiz at The Britannia last night. They drew but lost in the tie break. Not sure of the full details but doesn't sound like the deserved to get that far, they couldn't come up with the first name of Frankenstein, so plumped for Henry. And freakishly got it marked correct, as the name Henry was used in the film. No-one knows why the name was changed from Victor (in the book), it is a mystery of monstrous proportions.

    The Incredible Hulk's real name was also fouled up in the same way. Though this did not form part of last night's quiz.

    The sausage and mash was very nice apparently. GBP6 per head, including your food. Might well see you there on some future Wednesday...
