These days it is very rare to find me with a bird on my arm. Mainly because i'm fat, old, grey haired and ugly.

This is about the best bird I can get to come anywhere near me.

After weeks of fanny-ing about trying to decide what to do with it, I've finally redesigned the Shrewsbury Arms website. (Redesigned is far too strong a term, as I just used Thingamablog to bosh the thing together, just like all my sites these days. Hell, if it works, go with it!)

Oh go on, click here!

Here comes another hastily put togother video. This time its a version of the Cheers title sequence, but featuring the folks from The Shrewsbury Arms in Stafford.

Cobbled together by myself, with photographs supplied by Alf Jackson, and some old ones from the Staffordshire Past Track website. Gary Cartwright gave my the idea for this last week, and frankly I'm amazed that I could be bothered to get it done, considering i'm such a lazy oaf.

"Theme from Cheers (Where Everybody Knows Your Name)". Words and Music by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo. Performed by Gary Portnoy. Earthtone Recording, Inc.

Once again i've designed something, but for a change its been for someone else, and its become real.

I present the Beer Clip for the Shrewsbury Arms.

So its time to do a review of something.

Imagine that you smoke, and that you're now exiled to standing in the street outside the pub whenever you want a fag. Great. And it gets better. You can't throw you dog end into the gutter anymore, as that is littering. What you need is some device that you can bung the smouldering dog-ends into, and save them until you can find a handy bin.

Sounds like you need a Butt Pouch.

This handy little pocket sized thingy is lined with foil to conduct heat away from the errant embers and cool them down. It also seals nearly airtight, thus depriving the nub of the needed oxygen.

Marvellous. Where can you get one? Well, either you friendly local boozer is giving them away, or try www.buttsandgum.com.

Oh, and if you're feeling particularly pikey, you can save the dogs and re-roll them later.

After nearly a year of idleness, procrastination, forgetfulness and down right lack of inspiration, I've finally managed to get round to bodging up the long promised Shrewsbury Arms website. No longer will www.shrewsbury-arms.co.uk direct you to a pisspoor myspace page (which will be deleted very soon).

Now you can revel in the poorly designed equivalent of a spanner in the gas turbine of the internet that is The Shrewsbury Arms Website. Christ, with a hard sell like that, I should go in to advertising.

I'd like to go into advertising, but only if armed with a machine gun.... Anyway, click on the nice picture of the nice pub...
