Along with Michelle, Tina, Alannis, Geoff, Pete and Jim we descended on the Staple Hill Oak for the traditional Thursday night curry. I started off with a Three Castles Heritage 4.2%. An amber ale with a thin head and likewise the lacing. But tasty. After ordering and devouring a bowl of Thai Noodles with chicken breast I tried a pint of Celt Golden 4.2%. Another amber beer with a medium head and good lacing. Tasty and enjoyable. Next to grace our palates was a pint of Tunnel Vision 4.2% from the Box Steam Brewery. A beer with a thin head, good lacing and a slight bitter taste. Yummy. It was noted, among the Old Gits, that no one had had a good rant. This started Michelle off with a belting rant about rude bus drivers. Several tales were related concerning the nationality, rudeness and general ignorance of some of Bristol's bus drivers. This led to a few other rants and the evening ended on a high note. Home and to bed with a silly grin on my face and a head full of pleasant memories.
Friday evening will see us at the Jade Palace to help Old Git Duncan celebrate his 53rd birthday.
It seems that there may be gathering of the Old Gits at the Love Food Spring Festival. I am looking forward to this as there are a few good pubs around that area.
