I'm curious as to how you acquired such detailed knowledge as you don't frequent the pubs.Radostanradical said:
COME ON NOW, There are lots of people who desire nothing more than eating a steak so dense light bends around it or a roast that would make a homeless person at christmas say "nah your alright, ill see what KFC throws in bins later".Croydon said:

I’ve not been - but my mate is a big fan.ElfsborgAddick said:I'm hearing good reports of the new Wetherspoons at London Bridge station, can anybody confirm.Apparantly, given the area and a station spoons being not as cheap as in the high street, it is reasonably priced.Not least because he thinks it will piss off the moany old bag in the Shipwrights.
Only been in The Shipwrights about twice but thought it was a great boozer, although will swerve it now as it has a spoons as a neighbour.
Also you undersetimate the value of a show with your drink, where else would you be able to see a a family of 14 all decked out in their finest Sport's Direct tracksuits with 12 kids who all have names that are a variation on "Kenzie, Kenzo, Dane etc", stare at ipads whilst their parents polish off their 4th WKDs at 1.45pm on a tuesday afternoon. Whilst some would prefer to pay £1 or 2 more a pint to have a more sophisticated experience surrounded by fellow intellectuals to discuss current events, politics and the latest developments in the STEM field. No judgement though guys.3 -

clive said:The fact that the developers submitted plans in the first place - which would include only two kitchens for a potential 36 people - speaks volumes about the state we're in. I’m not saying HMOs don’t have their place, but the number of properties that have gone that way over the past 15+ years is astonishing.
I think the regs should state that every apartment must be completely self-contained, with a shower room, WC, food prep area, and also a communal space to give tenants some sense of pride in what they’re renting. It might also go some way towards rooting out the rogues who bodge up these sometimes historic buildings.
Not sure of the current state of affairs, but my old local in Gravesend, The Peacock, had fallen into disrepair while the owner was trying to get permission for an HMO through.2 -
In Rio atm.
Flamengo are at home on Saturday and looking as a sell out so Botafogo is the get out option.
In the meantime it's great to be back in a pub for a long time.
@Radostanradical would love this place.....

Wetherspoons is to open its first pub in mainland Europe to quench the thirst of Brits abroad.
Plans have been announced for a boozer at Alicante airport to cater for holidaymakers flocking to the Spanish hotspot and the wider Costa Blanca.
The pub, to be called Castell de Santa Bàrbera, will open in January next year and trade seven days a week, from 6am to 9pm. It will have nearly 1,000 square foot of customer space on one level, together with an external terrace with customer seating.
Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin said: “ We are very much looking forward to opening our first overseas pub. We believe it will be popular with people travelling home from Alicante Airport. We aim to open a number of pubs overseas in the coming months and years, including those at airports.”
Around 90% of what will be on menu will be the same as other Wetherspoon pubs, including fish and chips and an English fry-up but there will be a few local dishes, such as garlic prawn dishes and Spanish omelette.
When it comes to beer, it will serve Guinness, Stella Artois, local Spanish brews. One area where it will differ is on the floor, where the pub won’t have a specially designed carpet and instead will be piled.
It could be the first of a number of Spoons abroad, after founder and chairman Tim Martin previously said it made sense to have offshoots in Benidorm and Majorca.
