Iāve just been poured out of a Black Cab after a pub crawl around Liverpool City centre. Havent done this since the start of the pandemic, met up with a couple of old friends and had a right good go. Met at 4 pm at the Irish pub opposite Central Station, where a superb Christy Moore type guitarist/vocalist was absolutely nailing it. A few pubs later we ended up in Matthew St, had a couple in The Grapes, where the Beatles used to go for a couple of liveners before nipping across the road to The Cavern. There is a bench in the corner of the bar with the four Beatles names on plaques above where they allegedly used to sit. Nobody ever sits there, just the occasional Japanese or American tourist for a selfie. Ended up in The Cavern which is one of my all time favourite places in the world. Hadnāt been in there since the year before Covid hit when I saw an acoustic set by Paul Weller, (just superb). I spent a very happy hour, as I always do in there, walking around gazing at the memorabilia on the walls, the old posters, band line ups who have trod the boards there from the sixties up to the present day, from The Swinging Blue Jeans to Adele. John Lennonās guitar, Gilmoreās guitar, very rare photos from the live performances back in the day, the walls are a history lesson for those of us who get off on this stuff. I have to say that it did cross my mind whilst wandering around perusing it all that Lord Slowlane would have been excellent company, I would have enjoyed that. We ended up in a Liverpool institution called The Slaughterhouse, spitting distance from the Cavern, a great pub who specialise in open mike comedy, the guvnor is a very old mate of mine, who again I hadnāt seen for the best part of three years, who was clearly made up to see me, as I was him. It was busy, but even though by this time we were a tad over refreshed and wobbly we were ushered to the seats in the box with the best view in the house, (sorry Phil), where we sat through possibly the most unfunny comedy routine Iāve ever seen since the best manās speech at my wedding. It was a lady comic, and it was just awful, we lasted about 20 minutes, finished our pints, made our excuses and slunk off. My old mate, (who had booked her), gave me a hug and whispered in my ear, āfuck me lad, I was told she was good, sheās fucking emptying the placeā. I made a few sympathetic noises but we both ended up laughing. Which was more than the audience was!
Cheers mate, perhaps weāll do it one day.
I was 14 when The Beatles made it big. We used to serenade the girls during Art classes with our Beetle medleys. 
Disgusting. Singing at the nude models while they posed, Iām shocked. 
Did you have a Beatles wig and Cuban heeled boots?
No wig but I did have Cuban Heeled Chelsea Boots. 
I bought them at the Co-op in Lymington for 42/6d so they werenāt rubbish.
No such luck mate although a glimpse of navy blue gym knickers used to get us goingā¦fnar fnar.
Likewise I had a pair of Cuban heels, although we werenāt allowed to wear them to school, the headmaster banned them along with long hair. I also had a collarless Beatle jacket, remember them? They were all the rage. And loon pants, advertised in the Melody Maker, assorted colours at 21 shillings a pair. I used to strut down Canterbury high street in my Cuban heels, Beatle jacket and bright yellow loon pants, thinking I was the dogās bollocks. Sadly in reality I must have looked a right prick!
Hell we werenāt allowed long hair at school in the early/mid '60s with threat of suspension. I was constantly warned when my hair touched my blazer collar.
We had a music teacher who thought he was very liberal when allowing us to bring in our latest single to play at the end of the lesson. I bought āNot Fade Awayā by The Stones to be played at the height of the media āLock Up Your Daughtersā phase.
He picked it up between two fingers saying, āIām going to pay this, but I think you should know, I think these people are evilā. 
I was a fuckinā hero, guaranteeing a succession of Stones singles over the following year. 
How do you eat Welsh cheese??
Caerphilly!!
Ffs
Thatās my favourite. Good in bottle too. Have you tried it?
Not yetā¦
Iām not a hoppy beer person so Iām the wrong person to ask.
Is alright, I wouldnāt race to drink it thoughā¦
Fair enough. They do a wide selection. Darwinās Origin is less hoppy. Their black range is constantly changing and includes just about everything, inuding an 8% stout.
Btw, a bit cruel posting this when Iām having a dry week. 
I did dip into their Black Range during lockdown and I enjoyed it muchly
