Down In Kingston Town
A fairly quiet week last week, which is probably what I needed after my week of touring. The pub count went up from 362 to 397 with the four Thea gigs. The Saturday after the Pips saw myself see Saints get upset by an above par performance from QPR. Another howler from the keeper Davies, and hopefully the young polish guy we bought last year will soon be fit to replace him.
Monday I went to the New Inn to see a 3-3 thriller between Watford and Fulham. Think a draw was a fair result but really was a good game. Then a few quiet nights before doing a crawl of Kingston on Friday. We started in the Kingston Tup and followed this by the ridiculously named Honest Cabbage which used to be the Six Bells. We then headed to O'Neills stopping at the Crickerters. All the pubs we went to had live music from a band in the Tup to an acoustic duo in the Cabbage, karoke in the Crickerters and one guy and a guitar in O'Neills. All of which were very good especially the karoke version of I Wanna Be Sedated.
Stayed in Saturday for the lacklustre England game and then watched the film 'Wrong Turn' a horror film starring Eliza Dushku. It was ok but not much plot to it. Guy breaks down in the sticks with another family and mutated humans want to kill them.
Sunday I bought the Tru Calling box set also stars Eliza Dushku. I only managed to see three quarters of the first series and the box has the six episodes of series two before it was cancelled which haven't been shown so hopefully should be good. From memory the first episodes I saw were excellent.
Not much planned this week. May go to the New Inn or somewhere for England Wednesday and am off to Leicester Saturday where there are some fantastic pubs. The Rutland And Derby Arms last time I was there had around 20 different lagers on draught so should be a good day out.
