Dreadful, I thought Shiny brewery were doing a decent job with it the last couple of years. You should have bought it! Not sure what’s happening with the PV either, it seems to have had a string of temporary managers and is shut half the time. Maybe buy that...

McRainy Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 A couple of summers ago, waiting for my car to be MOTed. I ended up getting totally fubared on FUBAR and had to walk home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely be dead by now if I'd gone down that path. Thankfully FUBAR means something very different to me these days (most of the time).

I’m not sure if Kim still provides the beers. It seemed to be Batemans last time I went in. I do remember hearing a runour a couple of years ago that he had lost interest and was dicking them about.

Ugh Koreans don't know how to run traditional English Boozers, that's probably part of the problem then. Can he cook though? The whole Matlock area is crying out for a decent Chinese. I have to drive 20mins to Belper if we want a Chinese takeaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockholmRam Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The cycle ride along Tissington trail from Ashbourne to Hartington is well worth an afternoon out. Both lovely places. In Staffs but straddling Peak District is the view from the top of Weaver Hills above Ellastone. You can see 5 counties from up there and two very decent pubs for grub close by. Duncombe Arms in Ellastone and The Tavern at Denstone. Stay the hell away from Matlock mate. It has gone downhill and parking is a mare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Eyam has historical interest (the plague) and it's not too far from Foolow gliding centre (if it's still there). If you're into running, there's a cracking half marathon at Eyam, but you've got to love hills, steep, long and plenty of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine isn't good enough for me. I want to be able to taste the sewers of Sanlitun when I get a takeaway. What invasion? Is there gossip there?

She picked a bad position on Firs Parade. If Matlock Town council had any sense they'd bulldoze that hideous street and start again. But Matlock town council are intent on making Matlock as soulless as possible and they're doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
