Goose, Kings Heath, Birmingham

Shabby cheapo boozer which attracts the absolute dregs of Brummie society. But today they're all at Wembley. Huzzah!

Hare and Hounds, Kings Heath, Birmingham

Used to be a good locals' boozer, also popular with passing trade from the High Street. Today it caters for hipster twats who like showing their underpants.

Redwood Farm, Catbrain, Bristol

I suppose an unremarkable new pub is better than a good closed one. And I just like the fact that I'm in a place called Catbrain.

Golden Lion, Bishopston, Bristol

Always seems to have a plethora of flyers and 'zines which suggest it's down with the scene. It's not. Whenever I drink here I leave wondering why I bothered.

Anchor, Bishopston, Bristol

Normally a big football pub, but tonight they're showing the rugby when the Scottish play-off is on. Possibly an important rugby game - I don't follow it. Nor Scottish football.

Royal Oak, Horfield, Bristol

Eat football, drink football, watch football, eat nice food, drink local ale/cider and watch football again.

Tinto Lounge, Horfield, Bristol

Not the sort of place you'd come to for a piss-up with the lads; a self-proclaimed "café bar" (and who am I to argue?), whose menu sits between pub-grub and gastropub.

Queen Vic, Horfield, Bristol

Tatty but likeable Rovers pub with friendly gaffer and locals. Job done.

Wellington, Horfield, Bristol

Newly opened after a refurb. Still the same good ale but gone are the nice little alcoves and Victorian screens along with most of its character. Don't like it.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Thanks fans (all one of you, Barcelona's Singing Organ-Grinder).
