Well for those that are up for the race, the Gun goes off at the Plough at One O'Clock but you should be there a good bit before hand to get your drinks sorted. It's a Pint and a shot of your choosing to be downed at both Plough and Clockhouse. Hopefully our support staff will be able to arrange to have our Clockhouse drinks waiting at the finish line.


Keep on Running

Whatever blows yer kilt up Sean, I for one will be taking this very seriously indeed and bringing my running shoes. Myself and Help Ma Boab are going to try and make the EDF drinks, so hopefully get to meet a few of you in friendly social circumstances, before it all gets competitive :)-D
C'mon Sean, be serious. The idea is that you go to the Plough for the pint and shot - let the serious ones speed off whilst you slowly sup the beer. Then stroll down Barry Road, (or catch the bus if it's raining) and join the mad runners for a easy-going pint at the Clock where you can talk about how your race tactics went tits-up. They'll be knackered and spluttering - you'll be mellow and smelling fresh as a daisy.

Having played Mr MacGabhan at pool I can confirm he is of a rather competitive ilk and will no doubt be appearing in full running gear accompanied by motivational coaches and physios.


I shall be doing the whole thing in evening wear. Are martinis eligible as shots?

I can be competitive - Marmora Man and ???? would even be proud of me! - but I don't know about this one. I'l ltreat this year as a test-run methinks...


(the thought of pelting down Barry Rd only to tumble over a car pulling out of Uplands Rd would be scary - IF I hadn't been doing something similar in GTA IV every night for a fortnight now)

Looking forward to seeing Carnell in correct evening dress, Sean (I just typed Swan, is there something unconscious going on there?) in go-faster stripes and Citizen fooling 'em all with his don't-care attitude before whipping past to the finishing post.


BaldEagle, surely your wings give you something of an advantage?

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
