On a hot evening in August 2018, Tim took us back to Tottenham Court Road, only this time we headed south down Charing Cross Road.
We started out at the Royal George, conveniently close to Tottenham Court Road station, just just down a side street. I've seen it many times but never been in; it's fair to say the building lacks kerb appeal and has in recent years borne the brunt of being next door to the extensive Crossrail construction site, but it was in fact pretty pleasant inside, plenty of light and fresh air coming in, and a small but decent range of beer on the bar. In the fridge they even had Big Drop Brewing's Pale Ale and Stout; these are decent craft low alcohol beers, and went down well to start with on a hot evening – I must be getting responsible in my old age! Fear not, there is also a good range of cask, keg and bottled beers too, and sometimes a tap takeover.
So, once assembled, we came back out past the construction site, where once the Astoria stood, and before that the Crosse & Blackwell building, and headed into Charing Cross Road proper. We paused at the entrance to the old St Martin's College of Art, where Jarvis Cocker famously met a girl from Greece in the iconic Britpop anthem Common People, and continued into the Montagu Pike. Originally a Moon Under Water when I first frequented it in the 90s, this Wetherspoons was formerly a cinema, and then a home for the Marquee Club. The original Marquee a few streets away played host to a Who's Who of late 20th Century music, and this venue was opened by Kiss.
After a quick round here we left the morning drinkers' favourite and headed out the back exit to Greek Street, named after a 1677 Greek church (now long gone), and described by a police inspector in 1906 as "the worst street in the West End of London, some of the vilest reptiles in London live there or frequent it". By the 60s it was at the heart of London's creative quarter, and just next to the Montagu Pike was Peter Cook's Establishment Club, a ground-breaking satirical comedy venue.
Where Greek Street meets Old Compton Street sits the Three Greyhounds, its name harking back to the days when Soho was a rural hunting ground. This is a fairly small Nicholson's pub, but has plenty of room for al-fresco drinking outside, where you can watch the crowds wandering past, together with the traffic that the City of Westminster inexplicably insists on allowing to dominate the thronged streets of Soho.
A few doors down the street lies the Spice of Life, Hertfordshire brewer McMullans's London outlet, which has been very nicely modernised and has a wide range of their ales on the bar, and a large area of street outside to stand and drink while the sun goes down. The pub was originally called the George, first opening in 1686, though the current building is late Victorian.
Directly across from the Spice of Life lies another venerable pub, the Cambridge, first opened as the King's Arms in 1744, but was again last rebuilt by the Victorians. This is another Nicholson's pub, pretty small inside but retaining a lot of character, not least with its highly decorative ceiling. Some good ales on, and as all Nicholsons pubs, St Peter's Without in the fridge for those looking to pace themselves – particularly handy during this heatwave, it was hot out there!
Across the street we paused outside 84 Charing Cross Road, site of the famous bookshop recalled in Helene Hanff's wonderful book chronicling her correspondence with shop worker Frank Doel, now part of McDonald's. Well worth picking up the book if you haven't read it – used copies are available from just 1p on Amazon, or better still pick one up from a real book shop, ideally one of the few remaining ones on Charing Cross Road!
After a few minutes admiring the architecture of Cambridge Circus, especially the lovely facade of the Palace Theatre, which is easy to miss if rushing through as I normally am, we headed to the newest pub in the area (at the time of writing!), a new branch of the BrewDog empire. Although it was inevitably pretty busy with tourists, and may therefore not be the fastest place to get served if the people in front of you have no idea what to order, the range of beers was extensive (over 20 on draft), and the live version of Dead Pony Club, which I hadn't had before, was excellent. While BrewDog focusses on keg beers, the live Dead Pony is very close to a real ale and well worth trying. It's a big venue and there was plenty of room even late on on a Friday despite its central location.
And so to the final business of the evening; after a short vote, the BrewDog Seven Dials was voted the Pub of the Crawl. Congratulations!
Fitzrovia to Euston22/10/2017 at 14:18 | Posted in Crawls | 1 Comment

On a mild November evening Dave led us around some lesser visited pubs in Fitzrovia and a final farewell to an old favourite.
We assembled in The Hope, next to Pollock's Toy Museum. For a busy Friday night we didn't have to wait too long to be served. It is a smallish pub – or ale and pie house according to signage. We can't vouch for the pies, but the Adnams Mosaic Pale Ale was very nice. There was space inside but we opted to stand outside as the weather wasn't too chilly and none of us were particularly interested in the American football game being shown.
It was a short walk to our next stop, the appropriately named Fitzrovia, a Greene King establishment. We managed to get a table in this cosy pub. The ale selection was limited, the usual Greene King IPA and London Glory was on offer though pleasingly there was also Starry Night which most of us went for. As we walked out on to Goodge Street we paused to note a minor piece of trivia: that the tube station of the same name was not in fact on Goodge Street itself. More interesting was the street's reputation in the 1960s for illicit substances.
A few minutes to the west we found ourselves in The King & Queen on Foley Street, a lovely corner pub with a real old fashioned feel – wood panelling, thick carpets and plenty of pictures of kings and queen (unsurprisingly) – though not so old fashioned as to actually still serve Watney's Red Barrel. They had a good selection of beers on five hand pumps, Marston's 61 Deep Pale Ale being a nice session ale. We again chose to stand outside and enjoy the weather.
Heading along Howland Street we stopped outside the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre to appreciate the overhead décor and the window displays about the workings of the brain (not impaired by our visit to three pubs, of course) before reaching The Carpenter's Arms which has a small room downstairs and an upstairs terrace.
The latter was full so we again took our drinks – the very sessionable Yulu Loose Leaf Pale Ale was a popular choice – out on to the quiet street corner to learn some hotly debated (and badly guessed) trivia about the nearby BT Tower. Most memorable amongst the facts was that the circular design was intended to withstand a nuclear attack and that for decades the building was covered by the Official Secrets Act, meaning it was technically an offence to reveal the location of this 191 metre high tower…
We then moved on to The Marlborough Arms, another corner pub and another Greene King pub though with a wider beer selection than usual. We settled around a table towards one corner of this spacious pub, concluding that despite its size it still felt cosy and traditional.
Our next stop came after a 10 minute stroll towards Euston to the much loved Bree Louise on Coburg Street. This visit was tinged with sadness as it will shortly be demolished to make way for the HS2 rail link. The good news is that the landlord is
looking to relocate so hopefully we can return to its new premises soon. Amongst the large range on offer, the Bree Louise 4.2% session pale ale was a good choice.
Our final pub of the evening was The Resting Hare, which in contrast to the other places we'd drunk in this evening was very modern. The range of beer was good, including some less commonly seen on tap such as Kernel's Table Beer (very tasty yet light in alcohol) and Beavertown Neck Oil (though in fairness we'd also seen that at the Marlborough Arms).
And after some discussion we also decided that it was pub of the crawl. Congratulations to The Resting Hare!
10th Anniversary crawl around Marylebone18/12/2016 at 10:54 | Posted in Crawls | Leave a comment

In November 2016 the crawl celebrated its 10th anniversary, and Phil marked the occasion by retracing (almost) the route of the very first crawl back in 2006.
We met at the Masons Arms, close to Regent Street, which was pretty busy with the whole 'Black Friday' thing in full swing in the West End. The pub was busy too, and very warm, and perhaps would be better visited at a time other than 6 in the evening on Black Friday! It's a fairly small and cosy Greene King pub with the familiar GK ales on tap (including one badged for this establishment).
After a little background info on the history of Mayfair, we headed next to the Iron Duke, a Fullers pub selling their standard beers plus the odd guest, with a nice Cascadian pale ale on offer when we visited.
As we left we heard a brief history of the River Tyburn, one of London's lost rivers, which flows beneath the street and whose course we would roughly follow for the evening.
We continued past the neighbouring former homes of Jimi Hendrix and George Handel, marked by blue plaques and now subject of a small museum, to the Spread Eagle. This is a fairly standard West End Taylor Walker pub, busy with some decent ales (such as Old Hooky) but nothing too exciting.
We crossed a very busy Oxford Street and past the showroom of Steinway pianos, to the Cock & Lion, visited on the first crawl a decade ago, where we found a very handy table in the nicely appointed upstairs room, with some interesting old cricket and football pictures on the walls.
A short stroll up Marylebone Lane brought us to the Coach Makers, which was also visited on the first crawl but which was then called the O'Conor Don, and has since been nicely refurbished, and upped its beer range to include more interesting ales such as Canberra, Lubricant and Truman's Zephyr.
Outside the pub, Phil surprised us all with a set of T-shirts commemorating the 1o years of these crawls, which was a lovely gesture.
We next moved onto the inspiration for the crawls, the Golden Eagle. When Phil first found the Golden Eagle, and its piano singalongs, he thought he should bring people here, and find new pubs – and so the crawls were born. The singalong is still going strong, although is perhaps a victim of its own success – it was rammed when we called in, although perhaps that was the 'Black Friday' effect. It's certainly worth visiting, but perhaps try the Tuesday or Thursday if you want to be able to enjoy it without the crowds.
A few minutes north and we reached the King's Head, where a lovely 'then and now' map on the wall highlighted our route along the River Tyburn, both as it would have looked about three centuries ago when the area was still rural, and how it looks today; pretty different, to be sure, but with a few constants, including the path of Marylebone Lane which still follows the river.
The Pub of the Crawl has to be the one which inspired 10 years of crawling… the home of the piano singalong, the Golden Eagle. Congratulations!
Leicester Square27/08/2016 at 20:55 | Posted in Crawls | Leave a comment

On a very warm evening in August, Tim took us on a short crawl around Leicester Square, in the heart of London's tourist West End.
We started out at the London Beer House, a fairly new craft beer joint at the top of the Royal Opera Arcade, off Haymarket. The pub is the beer outlet of Pall Mall Fine Wine, a little further down the arcade, which opened in 1818 and is the world's oldest enclosed shopping arcade. It's also home to the Stephen Wiltshire Gallery, an incredibly talented autistic artist who came to fame as a child.
The pub itself is small, but benefits from plenty of room to sit or stand in the arcade or street. As for the beers, there were 9 craft beers on keg, and a wide selection of bottles and cans in the fridge. We had a mixture of beers from Time & Tide and Two Tribes breweries, which were all very tasty, although I should note that prices are above average (a two-thirds glass goes for about the going rate for a pint in an average pub) – although the quality is very high.
We walked next via Haymarket – once a hay market for the village of Charing before London extended this far – to the Tom Cribb, a small corner Shepherd Neame pub offering standard Shep ales and strangely incongruous music. Tom was a boxer, and the pub retains some interesting boxing artefacts on its walls.
A short walk via the Swiss Glockenspiel, just in time to catch the hourly chimes, took us to the Imperial, a pretty standard central London Taylor Walker pub. Fortunately we were able to bag a table out front to enjoy the summer's evening before retracing our last steps to Leicester Square, and past the site of Thurston's Hall, an early snooker and billiards venue, to the Moon Under Water.
This large Wetherspoon has been a West End feature since the 1990s, and although it was busy there was room inside, we were able to find a table near the bar, where we had a George Orwell-themed quiz about the attributes of his favourite pub, the mythical Moon Under Water, after which this pub is named.
Another short walk – the pubs come thick and fast around here! – and we came to the Brewmaster, sitting atop Leicester Square tube station. This was the first time I'd been in here, though I'd admired the refit from the outside and wanted to check it out. Greene King have done a very nice job refurbishing this and turning it into something which looks a lot like a modern craft beer bar, which is obviously the market they're trying to tap into.
Sadly they haven't followed through with the beer or staffing; there were only four handpumps, two of them GK standards IPA and and Abbott. The only slightly interesting one was from Brentwood Brewery, which we all ordered. These were all poured one-handed by someone who's clearly never been taught how to pull a pint of beer properly. Worse still, as soon as we tasted it, it was very apparent that the beer was on the turn, with a distinct vinegar taste.
Very poor Greene King, very poor indeed – and this is how you serve our national drink to visitors??
We left soon for the final stop, the Porcupine, pausing on the way to admire the Wisden tiling in the terracotta tiles above the tube station, marking their former offices. The Porcupine is a Nicholson's pub, where we mainly went for the ever reliable Tim Taylor's Landlord.
Finally we got to discussing the Pub of the Crawl, which is often quite a lengthy process, but not tonight; the London Beer House won unanimously. Congratulations!
Crowns and Chairmen10/01/2016 at 09:27 | Posted in Crawls | Leave a comment

For the end of 2015, Tim planned a pub name-themed walk rather than our usual neighbourhood themes, in a walk stretching from St James's Park to Soho.
The evening started out, as it often does, with some stomach-lining at the excellent Regency Café, scene of many a film and TV moment, and incredibly for a greasy spoon café, voted London's 5th best restaurant. The first official stop was the Two Chairmen, on Dartmouth Street, a pub I walk past virtually every morning but rarely visit. It's a small and busy pub, at least it is busy during the post-work rush, tucked away on a lovely quiet backstreet in the heart of Westminster. Although it was the end of November it was mild enough that we were able to escape the crowds and drink outside in the street.
Just a few metres from the pub lie the Cockpit Steps, bringing us down to Birdcage Walk and into the gaslit St James's Park. We crossed the park and its lake and got a brief history of the park, including the bizarre coterie of animals that were kept here under James I, including crocodiles! Heading out of the park we crossed the Mall, passed St James's Palace and Marlborough House, and into St James proper, and on to the next pub, the Blue Posts. This is another Taylor Walker pub, but unlike the previous venue, this one is almost brand new, the block it sits on having been recently rebuilt, but fortunately with the pub reinstated on this corner. This new version is smarter than the old incarnation of the pub, and is bright, airy and busy.
Next, we followed London's traditional centre of gentlemen's shirts and other high-end tailoring Jermyn Street, to the Three Crowns. This was pretty busy, though fortunately much deeper than it is wide, and we found some space to stand down the side of the pub, though it was too busy to linger in comfort.
So we fairly quickly drank up and left, heading via Vine Street, of Monopoly fame, and across Regent Street, into Soho for the Crown, on the appropriately named Brewer Street. Like the previous pub, this was very busy indeed in the bar area and wouldn't have been much fun, if it hadn't been for some very fortuitous timing which allowed us a whole table towards the rear, next to the bookshelf with some interesting beer tomes on it.
Heading north across Golden Square, we came to Kingly Street, visited previously, and headed for the Blue Posts. This is a busy (again!) corner pub in the Greene King family, but again we were lucky and managed to grab a table upstairs.
Back across Soho now and past some lovely Christmas lights and the huge murals on Broadwick Street, to The Blue Posts. Yes, it's another Blue Posts, complete with a 'The' this time, and for a change for the West End it has avoided becoming branded by a brewery/chain/pubco and still has a very traditional feel, complete with sticky carpets and small (but perfectly fine) choice of ales.
A short walk further east, including passage along Meard Street with its unusual sign on the door formerly belonging to Sebastian Horsley, brought us to the final stop of the night. If the theme of the walk hadn't been clear enough already, The Crown and Two Chairmen perfectly ended the crawl, bringing together the clutch of Crown and Chairmen-themed pubs.
So, to the pub of the crawl, and the beer of the crawl…
Not influenced by the venue of the vote I'm sure, as it stood out as a great, lively place with good beers on, The Crown and Two Chairmen was voted the Pub of the Crawl – congratulations! They also supplied the Beer of the Crawl – Billabong, a lovely Aussie Pale Ale from Tiny Rebel!
Fitzrovia revisited07/10/2015 at 19:47 | Posted in Crawls | Leave a comment
Tags: Fitzrovia, pub crawl, W1
In September 2015, Artie took us back to Fitzrovia for a tour of some pubs largely missed on previous excursions in the area.
Several people were missing or running late tonight so just three of us met at the Smugglers Tavern on Warren Street for the first drink. I've been past this place a few times but this was my first visit inside, and I was pleasantly surprised; despite the narrow frontage, the pub is larger inside than I expected. The bar is small and only had a couple of ales on, but they were good Cornish ales from Tribute – wonder if that's a deliberate link to the smuggling reference in the pub's name? Either way, they were good and we were lucky to nab a table outside despite the large number of people enjoying a sunny evening in the street outside.
Next we headed south towards the BT Tower and the Tower Tavern, presumably named after is skyscraping near neighbour. This 60s pub doesn't have the kerb appeal of an older pub, but I was again pleasantly surprised inside; the pub was spacious, had efficient staff, and several good beers on; we tried the My Generation and Sadlers One Stop Hop, both were good. On leaving we saw a Banksy on the wall opposite, protected now by a perspex sheet to hopefully keep it there for some time.
Next stop, we were welcomed aboard The Ship, which was yet another surprise, as it seems not to have changed in 30 years (in a good way – if it ain't broke, etc.). There was a Cornish slant to the beers here too, with some distinctly average Doom Bar but some delicious Atlantic.
The next stop, the Crown and Sceptre, was a more modern gastropub, very large and very busy, though with enough room at the back to find a table to drink our very decent ales including Ilkely's Rosa Ostara made with rose petals, and Wood's rugby world cup special Tight Head.
Like the Ship, the next stop, the King's Arms, is another traditional non-gastroed pub, part of the McMullan empire and a refreshingly normal pub just a few minutes from Oxford Street.
A few short steps away lies the next stop, the Green Man, another smallish corner pub, a little more in the modern gastro style, which is evidently working for it, because it was rather too busy when we arrived, and a bit of a struggle to find space to stand without being bumped into the whole time by people passing (and all the more difficult for those amongst us clinging onto a 1 kg tin of Milo for dear life…). I'd certainly go back to the Green Man, but hopefully when it's not quite so busy.
A slightly longer walk now to the Newman Arms, an older pub than most on this walk, dating from 1730 and rumoured to be the model for the "prole's pub" in George Orwell's 1984. There is a Cornish theme to the food and drinks, with some nice beers fro the Tintagel brewery.
We were thwarted in our final target for the evening, which was already closing by the time we arrived, so we headed instead for the still-serving One Tun, a part of the Young's empire and serving its usual beers.
As ever, the last job of the evening is to choose a Pub of the Crawl. This month we thought that the Crown and Sceptre deserved the honour; congratulations!
Edgware Road01/11/2014 at 13:26 | Posted in Crawls | Leave a comment

As the dark evenings of Autumn 2014 arrived, Artie took us for a crawl around the Edgware Road area.
We met at the Portman, formerly the Masons Arms, close to Marble Arch. It is now a gastropub, retaining some decent ales on its central bar including Timothy Taylor's Landlord as well as a much lesser-spotted Havercake Ale. We stood outside watching the world, or at least a small but wealthy part of it, go by. It is a strikingly urban if genteel scene, with fairly narrow streets in a grid pattern, so I take the pub's description of itself being in "Portman Village" with a large pinch of salt!
Once Phil had customarily joined us at the end of the first beer, we headed west, across Edgware Road for the first time, past the police guarding Tony Blair's house, to the Duke of Kendal. This triangular pub forms the wedge between two roads, and is a traditional pub, with a small dining area on the Connaught Road side. The beers were decent but unexceptional, Greene King standard fare.
We soon left by the Kendal Street door (except for one who went to the wrong street) and headed back towards and across Edgware Road to the next duke, this time the Duke of York on Harrowby Street. This also had just some standard GK ales on, and was a bit lacking in atmosphere for a Friday night.
That couldn't be said of the next pitstop, the Lord Wargrave, formerly the Wargrave Arms but now a modern pub, specialising in whisky, with a choice of around 200 from around the world. The beer selection it pretty special too, with a wide range of ales as well as some interesting craft keg beers, including the tasty Hackney Hopster from London Fields. The formula is obviously working, the place was certainly pulling in the punters compared with the previous couple of places, and was very lively.
Around the corner we paused for Phil to tell us about the Cato Street Conspiracy, an 1820 plot to assassinate the British cabinet, which was broken up when the conspirators were arrested in this alleyway.
Just across the street now for the Windsor Castle, an oldie but a goodie, visited on a previous occasion but worth the return, as this pub is a classic old London pub, full of memorabilia, especially royal stuff, to attract visitors but nevertheless retaining its traditional pub atmosphere. The beers were traditional too, and we had a nice mixture of 6X, Bombardier and Broadside.
Just across the road lies the Larrick, which was fairly empty by this time of the evening. The Bombardier Burning Gold slipped down nicely but we had to move swiftly on to the next and final venue to get another in before closing time.
The Thornbury Castle, just off the busy Euston Road, had the best ale range of the evening, and between us we drank a wide range of ales including Westerham's General Wolfe, ELB Pale Ale, Rebellion Photo Finish and others – very impressive, and a high note to end the evening, though West Berkshire's ISIS Pilsner was an unfortunate choice of name to pick this year.
Finally, it was time for the Pub of the Crawl debate, which was finely balanced this time with a three-way tie! However, there can only be one winner, so after a hearty debate and second vote, the Windsor Castle was declared the winner. Congratulations!
Marylebone revisited23/08/2014 at 12:05 | Posted in Crawls | 1 Comment
Tags: london, Marylebone, Mews pub, NW1, pub crawl, W1, Westminster
It was time for Alan to take the lead in August 2014, with a return visit to the Marylebone area.
We gathered outside the front of the Beehive, a mid-terrace pub tucked just off Baker Street. There was a smallish-range of beers, with Loddon's Gravesend Shrimper the only ale on offer; I enjoyed it but without a paler ale on offer some took advantage of the Meantime beers on tap, including their tasty London Pale Ale.
Next up, the Barley Mow, a cracking heritage pub, which I think has somehow managed to fall between the cracks of previous local crawls. It is famous – and indeed listed on CAMRA's National Inventory of Pub Interiors – on account of its unique drinking boxes, small compartments adjacent to the bar allowing for very discreet liaisons while still being alongside the bar to order fresh drinks. On this occasion, arriving as we were on a Friday evening, the boxes were unsurprisingly already taken, but we took our delicious beers – all Dark Star Golden Gate – to the back room, where Dimo proceeded to reveal a surprising talent for hustling people at chess.
A short walk down Manchester Street brought us to the Tudor Rose, a fairly old-school pub which has so far definitely escaped the gastropub trend, still offering such 1970s delights as spam fritter burgers! The ale was good enough if a bit unadventurous, with Pride, Rev James and Adnams on cask.
We called next at the Gunmakers, overlooking the car park-cum-farmers market behind Marylebone High Street. This is an attractive pub, with some interesting ales on offer, including a couple of offerings from London Fields brewery, their IPA, and Love Not War, which seemed appropriate given the current strife in the Middle East.
Continuing east, we skipped a possible venue on the High Street as it seemed pretty rammed, and arrived at a pub with the opposite problem, the Dover Castle, which was pretty deserted by the time we arrived. As with most Sam Smiths pubs, it's a great place, in this case a little mews pub which was frequented by the Who 'back in the day' when they used a recording studio opposite.
Not far away lies the Stag's Head, a nice little corner pub below an art deco building, which we sat outside while we enjoyed some Tring Side Pocket.
From here, we headed back towards the tube, and the Albany, opposite Great Portland Street. We visited this recently and it's still a lovely pub, and I love it's modest self-declared as 'one of the best pubs in Great Portland Street'!
But which pub deserves to be the Pub of the Crawl this time?
As ever a lively debate was had to pick the winner, but in the end the wonderful unique interior won it for the Barley Mow, congratulations!
Great Portland Street to Euston05/04/2014 at 18:32 | Posted in Crawls | 2 Comments

Dimo was back in the lead for April 2014, with a crawl along the northern edge of central London from Great Portland Street to Euston.
We met at the Green Man opposite Great Portland Street tube station, a pub I haven't been in since 1994, and now a Taylor Walker branded venue. It is fairly large and had a few ales on offer, a couple of standards and a couple of interesting guest ales. Very tempted to try the Shoreditch Triangle IPA but at 6% that was a bit much to start a long session with so we largely went for the rugby themed Old Hooker (cue lots of hooker double entendres). It is a handy meeting point but nothing special, and was rather too full of loud people knocking back some post-work beers. The large but fairly dark interior (only the front has any windows) would be difficult to imbue with much character.
Almost next door though, the Albany – which rather modestly describes itself as 'one of the best pubs in Great Portland Street' – was much more bright and open, with large windows on two sides and a gastropub feel. Quite a different crowd in here too, much younger, trendy beards pretty much compulsory. Good rotating selection of ales, of which we mainly went for Windsor & Eton's Knights of the Garter, with a couple of Doom Bars thrown in.
Crossing north now and heading away from the busy Euston Road, the next pitstop was the Queens Head & Artichoke, a smallish wood-panelled Victorian corner pub. Its pedigree is much older though, originally being a 'ramshackle old tavern' which was one of a number of old pubs pulled down when Regent's Park was built, and relocated onto this site in 1811 (and later rebuilt again). Though it was small and quite busy inside, we were able to enjoy the beginning of spring at an outside table.
A few minutes walk to the east and down an unpromising-looking alley we found the Square Tavern, a Young's pub tucked away on the ground floor of a 1970/1980s development. Although they handily stocked London Drinker magazine, the ale range was poor when we visited, there were a couple of ales off and only Eagle IPA on offer. The clientele seemed to consist largely of local office workers celebrating the end of the working week. It wasn't too busy when we visited, but there was a large courtyard/square outside to spill into if it is busy.
A couple of minutes away on Drummond Street (north London's best street for a curry) we came to the Crown & Anchor, very nice and well decorated with subtle pop art, and a great selection of ales on the bar; we had a mixture of Ilkley's Mary Jane, Woodforde's Flagondry, George Gale's Spring Sprinter, and Adnams' new Mosaic Pale Ale. All of these were good but the Mosaic Pale Ale was the best beer of the night, with a beautiful aroma.
Around the corner lies the Exmouth Arms; it broke poor Dimo's heart when he learnt that we had been here once before, on a crawl which predates this website and isn't fully recorded! This is a traditional pub with friendly bar staff, fairly quiet by the time we arrived, and we whiled away our time losing money on the quiz machine.
The final (and longest) stop of the evening was the Bree Louise, a well known and well respected pub which not only has several good ales on draught, but also several racked in casks for ultimate quality. The wooden cask 6X wasn't a hit, but the others were great, and the landlord (ex Harlequins player Craig Douglas) was very chatty and joined us for a pint. We stayed here for a second final round, and before we left were kindly given some free beer to take away from Brains's experimental craft brewery.
The final business of the evening (apart from grabbing a burger in the station and catching the last tube!) was voting for the Pub of the Crawl. There was a close vote but in the end the wonderful Bree Louise took the honour, congratulations!
Piccadilly Circus17/01/2014 at 19:16 | Posted in Crawls | Leave a comment
Tags: london, Piccadilly, pub crawl, Soho, W1, Westminster
Having ended 2013 with a walk around Oxford Circus, we started 2014 with a walk around nearby Piccadilly Circus and the fringes of Soho, led by Tim.
The meeting point tonight was the Glassblower, a Taylor Walker branded pub just to the north of Piccadilly Circus. The pub is -, forming the corner of Glasshouse and Brewer Streets, and was unsurprisingly fairly busy. Rumours of a discount for CAMRA members turned out to be false unfortunately, and the 6X ran out as we got to it, but the Landlord and Trumans Runner were both perfectly decent.
A short walk along the appropriately named Brewer Street brought us to the Crown, a Nicholsons pub and much as you'd expect from a Nicholsons, a traditional interior in good order and some decent ales on tap, and quite a throng around the bar on a Friday evening. The surprise ale was Fullers Steel, a limited edition collaboration brew between Fullers and Sheffield's Steel City Brewing (motto: "Craft beer from the Grim North"), a very drinkable pale ale, which we were able to enjoy in reasonable peace towards the rear of the pub.
A very short walk now down to the Queens Head, a free house tucked under the Piccadilly Theatre. This is a small pub and just a stone's throw from Piccadilly Circus, yet we still managed to get a table to enjoy our lovely pints of Moncada Notting Hill Blonde, possibly we were lucky in doing this crawl around a busy area just when half the population is de-toxing after Christmas and New Year. Genuinely surprising to find such a decent, normal pub so close to the epicentre of the West End tourist economy.
We went back down Sherwood Street, which used to be a fairly depressing backstreet still sadly typical of this part of central London but has recently been pedestrianised and completely transformed, to the central pivot of the crawl and indeed probably the epicentre of the West End, Piccadilly Circus, where Tim regaled us with assorted trivia which I can't relay here in sufficient detail to compete with Wikipedia, but suffice to say it's an interesting place!
We soon arrived at the St James Tavern, "the best managed pub of 2013", as proclaimed by a banner out the front of its prime position on a corner of Shaftesbury Avenue as it leads into Soho. Despite this prime location and apparent high management standards, it wasn't at all busy for a Friday night, suggesting all is not well. Once past the bouncer on the door – not a good sign – we had a pick of tables to choose from, but the same choice didn't extend to the beers, with just two on offer – Firkin Good and Adnams Gunhill. Sadly neither were actually much good, though in this they did at least match the atmosphere. With almost everybody else being a tourist and the pub winning a national award, I don't know what message the industry is trying to send about British pubs and beers but they need to stop it. Incidentally they didn't make up the award, I googled it – incredible.
On a much lighter note, just a little further up Great Windmill Street, we came to the Lyric. This small Victorian corner pub has been recently relaunched as a craft beer pub, with six handpumps and ten keg taps, all offering decent beers. My Crack of Dawn from South East London's own Late Knights was lovely, meanwhile a couple of the others went for the Williams Bros Alloa 80/ and pronounced it "amazing" – high praise indeed. All this, and room to stand next to the fire. Very nice place, best enjoyed, I imagine, by day, when there are fewer people around to fill the place up.
Back to the bright lights of Shaftesbury Avenue now, passing the fringes of Chinatown at Wardour Street and into Rupert Street, to arrive at the back entrance of the Blue Posts, another of which we visited on our last crawl. However unlike the beer fail in the last pub of the same name, in this one we had a mixture of Woodfords Wherry, Summer Lightning, and Tim Taylor's Landlord – between us, that is, not in the same glass – at a table in the upstairs room.
Our arrival at our next and final pub was interesting, a row was going on outside the entrance which involved a drunk woman shouting "shut up you slaaaag!" Appropriately enough this was the Comedy Pub. As far as we could tell the scene at the entrance wasn't some sort of immersive improv act, although as the name implies, the venue does host comedy gigs. We were there for the beer though, and we went for Rev James, Doom Bar and Resolution. The ground floor bar was large and not unlike many lively central London pubs, though a trip to the loos in the basement level revealed more of a club area, but unsurprisingly we stuck it out upstairs until last orders.
The final business of the evening was agreeing on the Pub of the Crawl. On account of its excellent beers and atmosphere, we agreed that the Lyceum was a very fitting winner, congratulations!

Sutherland plans New York move
24 star KIEFER SUTHERLAND is planning to move to New York City, so he can be closer to his journalist girlfriend.
The actor's relationship with Allure magazine style director Siobhan Bonnouvrier is blossoming, and he is growing tired of jetting between his California home and her Manhattan base.
And Sutherland admits a move is inevitable - and he can't wait to live in such a 'sexy' city.
He tells Men's Vogue magazine, "There's a sexiness to the people here that's extraordinary. Everybody's full of purpose. No-one's just f**king around."

Lizi was great to work with! Purchasing a home can be an overwhelming process but she explained every step. She is knowledgeable of the area and able to recommend developments that might fit your desires. She was always quick to respond, had a flexible schedule and found answers to all my questions. Lizi has even been helpful after closing by connecting me with movers, contractors, and other services. If you need a responsive realtor, Lizi is it!Blake, June 2017
I have to say going into this I really had no idea what I was doing but after that first day of looking at properties I got a good idea of what I was looking for and the area I wanted to be in. Lynn, Keely, and Lizi were all very helpful in this process and answered all of my questions I had. I would recommend them to anyone!
Mandy and Ralph, August 2016
Highly Recommend
Excellent in every way! Couldn't ask for any better, true professional!Brian D., May 2016
Lynn was extremely helpful in helping us sell our home, including guiding us in upgrades that needed to be done before we went on the market. Lynn and her team as very responsive to questions we had, and I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house in the Charlotte area.Aaron & Jessica, 4/25/16
Dear Lynn, thank you so much for helping us to find our dream home in Charlotte. You are wonderful.
Lynn did an amazing job selling our home! She is a true profession
Lynn did an amazing job selling our home! She is a true profession
My wife and I worked closely with Joyce Burgess to find our first home. She was so profession
Lynn is very knowledgeable and pragmatic in her approach to listing and selling a property. She was very knowledgeable about my community, and made the entire process as seamless as possible. Kudos to Lynn and her team for a job well done!P. Senior, September 7th, 2015
Lynn is very knowledgeable and great to work with! She always responded to us in a timely manner and made the process of buying our home easy and seamless for us. This is the second time my husband has used her to buy a home and we would highly recommend her to anyone needing an agent!Mistykowalski, September 29, 2015 Matthews, NC
Lynn was amazingly helpful in my hunt for a new place. This was my first time buying a place. I started my search with 3+ realtors but finished up with only Lynn. This was due to several reasons, her responsiveness, her understanding of the market, her constant help and guidance and I always felt she had my best interest at heart. She worked with me as I figured out exactly what I was looking for and was ALWAYS patient with me. Once she found me my place to move in she was able to provide suggestions for upgrades/fixes. She also put me in touch with a list of contractors that could help. Lynn was just amazing. I would highly recommend her and I know for a fact I will look for her help in the futureUser10281309, September 4, 2014
We sold twice and purchased once with Lynn. One home sold within 3 days with 2 offers, and the other home sold within 6 days; mind you we sold in a slow market. All 3 transactions went perfectly smooth with Lynn staying on top of every detail. Her professionalism and knowledge are unmatched making her a pleasure to deal with!
I met Lynn through a referral from a friend. She came by, looked over the area, and made several suggestions as to what to do to bring my place up to date to make it presentable for sale. Lynn very casually made these suggestions without any pressure of signing up with her. She pulled no punches as to what I needed to do to sell my place, as this was a time in which the housing market had dropped drastically.
We were in the market for our first home and Lynn and her team came through for us. Our expectations were extremely high as we were looking for a certain house in a specific area. She was very patient with us as it took almost nine months until we found what we wanted. In that time however, she was not only proactive in searching the market for what we were after, but also treated any request we had to look at a property with the upmost urgency. If you choose her she will definitely go above and beyond.
Lynn and her team are incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional. She went above and beyond my expectations in selling my home during a down market. I highly recommend her.
Lizi went beyond the norm to make sure our buying experience went smoothly and sanely.(Buying a home can be rather insane at times.) She made a concerted effort to provide for us contractors, loan professionals, and her vast knowledge of the ins and outs of real estate laws so we could get the best home. She is easy and fun to talk with and has a very positive attitude toward life.

We have worked with a few realtors in the past and our experience was below our expectations. Lynn Burnett is by far the best realtor we have worked with and we trust her completely. Not only did she sell our house quickly (this was our 2nd attempt) but she helped us to purchase our dream home. We took her advice in the house preparation and negotiation process and everything worked seamlessly. Moving forward, we will always use her for all of our buying/selling needsGeoffrey & Margeaux, April 2017
- Local knowledge,
Lizi was absolutely awesome. She made the home buying process very easy on me and I would recommend her to family and friends without hesitation. She was always willing chat to clarify any questions I had and worked her schedule around mine.Sam, February 2017
Highly Likely to Recommend
This is the second time my wife and I have used Lynn and Keely. They are a great team that made both our first buy and our first sell a great experience. They always looked out for our interest first and always gave us honest, clear and knowledgeable answers and advice. We are definitely promoters and would recommend them to anyone, anytime!Kevin & Janice, August 2016

Highly Likely To Recommend
Lynn was great about responding quickly, late in the evening, and on weekends; all of which were convenient for my wife and I. There were some communication problems during closing between the agency and closing agent, but I believe that was as much the fault of the lender as anyone.Steve & Nicole, March 2016
It is always such a pleasure to work with you. Thank you for your support and expertise in our home buying and selling adventures. You and your team have continued to exceed our expectations. We can't thank you enough!!
Thank you to Lynn and Keely! We are looking forward to moving in. We appreciate your professionalism and expertise. This home will be well worth the wait. J and L R.
Lynn and her team were knowledgeable, thorough and extremely responsive. I am happy to recommend her to anyone buying or selling a property.D. Kiser, August 5th, 2015

My family and I cannot recommend Lynn highly enough. Thanks to her diligence and preparatio
We met Lynn while she was at an open house for another client. We started visiting with her about our search for a new home that was about to begin. She eagerly agreed to show us houses the next day. She continued to be available, very knowledgeable how neighborhoods were, and also sent us emails daily of new houses on the market. When we decided to purchase a home, she was excellent in showing us and helping us in every step along the way.
We were very happy with Lynn representing us for the sale of our home. She is very knowledgeable, efficient with our time and realistic in her expectation of the market. We will recommend her to our friends.Dena & Troy Brown, July 30th, 2015
Lynn Burnett is a wonderful asset, whether you are selling or buying, SHE is tops in her field! Moreover, Lynn sold our house in record time during the slowest period and found us the best deal! We referred Lynn to many friends with outstanding results.Fencie, April 17, 2014
Lynn is a great agent. She knows the local market and has great communication skills and follow through. She made the selling of our house easy and smooth. I would highly recommend her if you are looking to sell or buy.
My husband and I were house shopping on our own, going on open houses or calling selling agents to look at a house, etc. We saw about 10 houses and came across her at a house that we were interested in. She was willing to get someone out to get a quote on a repair at that house, gave us a vision for the backyard, and tried to have us picture ourselves there. She was the only agent that actually called us back to ask for feedback on the house she was listing. Though, we did not like the house, we liked that she followed up and her go-getter personality. We decided that we wanted her to represent us on buying a home. Lynn is an excellent agent. She is very patient and listens your needs. Lynn never makes you feel like you are wasting her time or pressure you to buy something that you don't love. Lynn will get you the best price for you and will steer you in the right direction. She was even more than helpful after the sale. I call her for referrals for painters, contractors, etc. If I was to ever sell or buy another home, we definitely would use Lynn. You will have a great and positive experience!
A good friend of ours recommended Lynn due to the success they had recently with the sale of two residences. Lynn came to our home and shared with us her market knowledge and experience with getting our house ready to sale. The upgrades and repairs seemed an overwhelming task being that my husband and I both worked full time. Lynn took care of so much for us, she had a group of contractors that took care of all the work we needed. Our house showed about 26 times the first week and before the week was over and we had two offers and got our asking price.
I highly recommend Lynn. She helped me purchase my first home and and investment property in the same year, and was extremely patient in both instances. Lynn's patience and priority of putting her clients best interest in mind resulted in my first home buying experience far exceeding my expectations as far as value is concerned.

'Business as usual' for Taoiseach Enda Kenny as he prepares to hand over reins
Outgoing Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said it is business as usual for the country as he started his last day in the job.
Mr Kenny is expected to formally announce his resignation as leader of the Republic's minority government later today after six years in the role.
The veteran Fine Gael politician is to host a cabinet meeting for the final time in Government Buildings in Dublin before he takes to the Dail parliament for a valedictory address.
On his way into work Mr Kenny spoke of the privilege of leading the country.
"While it might be a milestone for me personally, in the context of the country that's irrelevant," he said.
"So, it's business as usual, we have many challenges up ahead, but I'm proud and privileged I've been able to serve as Taoiseach all these years."
Mr Kenny resigned as Fine Gael leader in May to make way for his successor.
Although long-awaited, the transition of power has been relatively smooth with Leo Varadkar securing resounding support in a leadership contest, including huge backing among his parliamentary colleagues.
He was confirmed as the new Fine Gael leader in the Mansion House in Dublin on June 2.
Mr Varadkar, Ireland's first openly gay cabinet minister and the son of an Indian doctor, will be nominated as taoiseach in the Dail on Wednesday before he travels to meet President Michael D Higgins in Aras an Uachtarain where he will be given his seal of office.
Speculation is in full swing over who he will retain and appoint to his first cabinet.
Questions centre over whether he will keep his rival for the job, Simon Coveney, in a senior and high profile ministry and whether he will demote Simon Harris, Minister for Health and one of Mr Coveney's most prominent supporters.
Eoghan Murphy, who had a junior ministry in the Department of Finance and ran Mr Varadkar's leadership campaign, is one of those being touted for a promotion to the senior ranks.
Others vying for a cabinet seat include Joe McHugh and Michael Ring, both representing rural constituencies in Donegal and Mayo respectively.
An appointment there would ease concerns that Mr Varadkar's focus is seen as too urban.
Elsewhere questions remain over whether some of the old guard will retain ministries including Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan and Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald.
Mr Varadkar will head a minority government with the backing of the Independent Alliance, two Independent TDs and a confidence and supply agreement with the main opposition party Fianna Fail.

Antes de tudo nós gostaríamos de te dar um abraço de boas vindas por se juntar a nossa comunidade. Deixe-nos fazer uma breve explicação sobre algumas coisas antes de você começar sua jornada.
O Tutorial
Antes de você começar a joga osu!, é recomendado que você jogue o tutorial primeiro (Peter Lambert - osu! tutorial). Depois de baixar e instalar osu!, abra-o pela primeira vez e ele deve atualizar-se automaticamente (através do "osume!"). Quando o jogo começar, haverá um botão enorme do osu! no meio. Apenas clique nele duas vezes e escolha modo "solo". Você pode facilmente procurar por um beatmap na lista ao digitar algumas de suas informações, mas o que você está procurando é o "Tutorial". O beatmap vai te ensinar sobre os fundamentos de jogabilidade do modo principal de osu! como Hit-circles, Sliders and Spinners. As técnicas especiais de jogabilidade, você aprenderá jogando, já que não podem ser ensinadas com palavras. Os beatmaps vinculados ao osu! podem te ajudar.
Observação: Se por alguma razão você não possuir o tutorial, você pode baixa-lo aqui. Depois de jogar o tutorial você está pronto para baixar beatmaps diferentes!
|The translations for this article are poorly done or incomplete! (Fix/Complete it!)
Como começar a jogar suas musicas favoritas!
- Full explanation: Beatmaps
Passo 1 - Ache sua musica!
Oque é um "beatmap" você deve se perguntar. Como em qualquer outro jogo, que existem "níveis"ou "mapas", no Osu!, não é diferente, "Beatmaps" são exatamente oque você acha que são, "níveis/mapas" com "ritmos". Achar "beatmaps" de musicas é muito simples! Você pode achar todos os "Beatmaps" postados por outras pessoas neste link here. Você pode procurar por qualquer coisa relacionada a sua musica como: o nome da musica, o nome do artista, o nome do álbum e até mesmo qualquer tipo de gênero! Como por exemplo tente procurar "Coldplay - Don't Let It Break Your Heart"
Step 2 - Download it!
If there is an approved beatmap version of the song you are looking for, you should find it in the result pages. However don't be upset if your song isn't there! There are hundreds of beatmaps being submitted and reviewed so your song might be on its way! Please do not post requests for beatmaps you'd want, most mappers will map the songs they love, not what you love, but that might be a hint for you to start your own mapping career!
Once on the beatmap's page, there should be a giant "Download Beatmap" button (you have to be signed in first, otherwise, a yellow button will direct you to sign-in).
Note: It doesn't matter where you save the file as long as you can find it once the download is finished. Also, you can choose to directly open it but will force your osu! to start-up if it's not activated.
Step 3 - Load it up with osu!
Once your download has finished, you should simply be able to open the beatmap .osz file. If for some reason that doesn't suit you, you might want to hold & drag the file into the osu! window.
Step 4 - Play for fun or compete with other players!
Once opened, osu! should start-up (and probably update). To start browsing your beatmap library, just click the massive osu! circle in the middle, click "Play", "Solo". Your new beatmap (along with the tutorial) should be listed there. Choose the difficulty you want to play and you're off to become an osu! player! You may also play "Multi" instead of "Solo" where players will compete in live games. You can also be part of the fun.
There we go! Now you're ready to play osu! and find your favorite songs. If you're having any issues, feel free to ask for help in the forums or in-game (press F8 to open chat window, under #osu).
Modos de Jogo
So what exactly is the "Solo" game mode? Basically, this is the game mode that can be played both offline and online by yourself. This game mode has no limits, you can play any map you have, use any Game Modifiers (sometimes called "score modifiers") you want, pause the game when your hand gets too sore, and restart it when ever you feel that your score or accuracy is too low. You can also check out the Local or Online leaderboard and see the results or watch the replays simply by clicking their tab. You can press "F2" to save a replay externally so you can enjoy the replay without the hassle of searching for it.
- Full explanation: PT:Multi
If you feel a bit lonely playing alone in "Solo" mode, you can always join the multiplayer lobby. The minimum requirement to enter the multiplayer lobby is only an osu! account logged into the game with a decent Internet connection. To gain access, press the "Multi" button. There, you will see heaps of rooms ranging from "Easy" to "Insane" levels. Playing in multiplayer is a really good way to make new friends and compare your skill with other players. Once you join a room, you will probably have to download the beatmap chosen by the host. Click on "Click here to download this map" (should be on the right side, in painfully red tab), and your web browser should open up the selected beatmap's listing page. Just click on the big "Download Beatmap" button (you need to sign in first though) and open the .osz file as soon as the download finishes! Don't worry if you think your download is too slow, most hosts will wait for your download to finish and they will ask you for the percentage of the download. Don't be shy and tell them! If you feel it may take a long while, you can also tell them to play without you (Host has a special command for it, Force Start Game). The multiplayer gameplay is slightly different from solo, as you will not be able to pause the game and mods are limited for players other than Host (Host have full privilege and can give permission by enabling "Free Mods"). The most unique feature about Multiplay is Tag Co-Op (or Team Co-Op for team type) and Team VS. Also, you can see your opponents/team-mates' scores as you play, creating an intense atmosphere as you try to secure the top spot.
This may look like a simple game of clicking circles and holding sliders, but it can get really intense and serious! Here's a few things you should know about osu! rank system.
The player's level only represents the total amount of score the player has gained on ranked or approved maps, regardless of finishing the beatmap or setting a new score. In short, relative experience of the player in the game. However, unlike other games (read: MMO games) you might of played, osu! does NOT give any advantages to any players whatsoever. A naturally gifted level 10 player can potentially beat a level 100 player (this means that all the level says is that the level 100 player spent more time playing beatmaps online). Also, keep in mind that you get higher scores when you get higher combos (hitting notes without missing any in a row).
Pontos de Performance
- Full explanation: PT:Performance Points
Performance Points are basically points used to measure the player's competitiveness. The more points you get, the better the rank you have comparing relatively among other online players. There are a lot of different calculations involved to count everyone's points, but keep one thing in mind; you may get pp when you reach a high rank in any ranked map. In most cases, to reach a considerable top rank, you will need to full-combo a song (don't miss a single note) to get the highest score (from the combo multiplier). A player with 99% accuracy that missed one note somewhere in the middle of the song can be outscored by a player with 80% accuracy who didn't miss a single note. The score deviation (eg: 3.8 mil vs 5.0 mil) will be pretty obvious when the song is long (3 ~ 5 mins). However, you might have to apply some difficulty increasing score modifiers (like HR,HD) to get an even higher score!
- Full explanation: Accuracy
This measurement is the average accuracy among all the ranked scores the player played. It is split into two types, player's overall and pp's accuracy. In your player tab in-game, the accuracy shown is pp's accuracy. For player's overall, you may have to visit the "Online Results" after you played a beatmap online or refer to your own forum page. In osu!, accuracy measures not only your aim, but the timing as well, so it is important to tap the notes perfectly to the beat. Pay extra attention to the approach circles!
- Full explanation: Achievements
Achievements are little badges on one's profile which indicate that someone has accomplished an exceptional goal. Achievements' badge can be unlocked in various ways such as playing a lot or hitting a certain combo count in one beatmap. When you fulfilled the criteria, you will receive a badge at "Online Results" and your account's personal achievement tab. However, the meat of it is the hidden mission, Hush-Hush, where the criteria is not known and it is up to us to figure it out on how to get it. They are pretty hard to get but it is fulfilling when you managed to achieved it by yourself.
Note: Achievement badges can only be unlocked online based on your current account logged-in.
- Explicação completa: PT:Chat Console
Knowing the basics on how the Chat Console works is important to those who are interested into making new friends in our friendly environment. It's also important to understand how to use it in case someone messages you (unlikely to happen unless you are well-known), telling you tips or asking for help themselves. There is a button to open up the chat on the bottom right of the screen but it's way quicker to just press F8 on your keyboard. You will have a few tabs like "#osu!", "#announce", "#userlog" or if you're in a conversation with someone, you'll see their name as a separate tab. Navigating through the tabs is extremely easy, just press on the tab and type your message then press "ENTER" to send the message to the opened tab. Regardless, please do not spam (continuously sending short messages into the chat) as doing so will automatically mute your account for a few minutes and your "hard-work" removed from the chat. You can press "F9" to open the user list (called Extended Chat Console) connected to the server, and you can apply filter to narrow down your search.
Those are the basics, don't be shy to ask for help in-game or in forums, also the osu!wiki is here to help understand the game more.
Beatmapping (Edição)
- Full explanation: Beatmapping
osu! offers an opportunity to any player to create their own beatmaps. If you think you're creative and passionate about learning, you may start mapping your own songs. To start, simply access the "Edit" mode and drag your song's .mp3 file onto the editor. Press "F5" to refresh the song list and you should find a blank map with your song name in it. However, beatmapping is a very complicated process which requires a bit of dedication, and thus it will not be covered on this page. The best way to learn is to try it out yourself. You may read useful guides to get you started with mapping right here. Also, "Edit" mode can also be useful to take a closer look at any beatmap so you can see whats up with that part where you always fail! Also try to avoid editing ranked maps because they will automatically revert to being unranked (locally only of course) and you will not be able to earn pp/accuracy from it until you update the map again.
Here are a few resources to help you start your journey:-

- Beatmap Packs - Get pre-packaged collections of beatmaps based around a common theme.

My ISP has been having a spot o' bother with BT, resulting in no broadband connection chez Poole since 4pm yesterday. Back now though! This forum over at the excellent ADSL Guide UK website helped enormously: special thanks to Mark at Pipex for keeping everyone in the picture!
Moving on, I've liked Bookworm for some time now — I linked to it in a past blog entry too. Anyway, I now discover that the offline versions of the Popcap games were ported to OS X by none other than The Omnigroup. Good for them!

Saturday, November 1, 2014 from 11am-2pm, Family Foot & Ankle Specialists will be hosting their annual Candy Buy Back.
Each year we host our Candy Buy Back where we invite anyone with leftover Halloween Candy to come into the office and trade their candy for some cold hard cash. Children and adults alike come in to trade their left over candy for cash, $1 per pound.
People have decided to trade in their candy for money for many reasons. Maybe there is a peanut allergy in the house, maybe you bought a little too much this year and didn't have too many kids ringing the bell. Sometimes parents "encourage" their kids to turn over half their candy in exchange for cash.
With the rise of childhood diabetes and childhood obesity, many parents and their children understand that binge eating candy may not be the smartest thing to do. Teaching children young that there is a time to indulge and how much is too much can help to lead them into a healthy teen and adult.
In addition to the Candy Buy Back.... we will be hosting our FIRST ANNUAL FALL FESTIVAL! One of our own, amazing patients will be here to teach women a lesson on self defense, there will be games for people of all ages, and a crazy, fun raffle. It's all free and will be fun for people of all ages! We hope to see you here!

you shouldnt care what adults are doing even if what they are doing increases their risk of cancer. now, if what they are doing increases your risk of cancer, then i would say get involved.
A comprehensive Health Canada monograph on marijuana concluded that while there are many cellular and molecular studies that provide strong evidence that inhaled marijuana is carcinogenic, the epidemiologic evidence of a link between marijuana use and cancer is still inconclusive.[13]
Subjects who regularly inhale cannabis smoke possess no greater risk of contracting lung cancer than do those who consume it occasionally or not at all, according to data published online ahead of print in the International Journal of Cancer.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Perry District Curriculum
The curriculum standards are implemented in many schools across Georgia. Developed by education experts, teachers and parents, the intention of the CCGPS is to make learning rigorous and relevant and applicable through problem-based teaching. Students are provided with skills, content and knowledge to be college and career ready. Informational technical texts and increasing text complexity are used in core subjects to increase students cross-disciplinary literacy skills.
By seventh and eighth graders apply their prior knowledge of story or literary elements to the study of poetry and its use of imagery. Students learn to write essays that are properly organized and grammatically correct. Eighth graders learn to define and recognize themes in literature. Parent resources are available at the district website with links to help in further understanding what your child is learning at every grade level.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.
Work with our Perry tutors to help your student succeed! Contact our Academic Directors Today at 1-877-545-7737.
Keeping Informed: Recent Perry Educational News
- Go Fish Education Center - The Go Fish Education Center is THE place to learn or improve a new hobby. Developed with the intention to educate and engage, the center shares how, when, what and where to fish among the over 12,000 miles of waterways within the state. The Center is part of a state-wide initiative on encouraging the sport of fishing and doing it correctly and safely.

- Georgia Teacher of the Year Finalist from HCS - A congratulations to Amanda Miliner, a fourth grade elementary school teacher in Houston County, was recognized as the 2013-2014 Georgia Teacher of the Year. Nominated with over 150 teacher candidates across the state, Ms. Miliner became one of ten finalists for the honorable award. She will make appearances around the state, conducting professional development and supporting public school teachers as she shares her experience and knowledge.
- Georgia National Fair - For ten days in October, Perry becomes home to visitors as they make their way to the Georgia National Fair. Carnival rides, horse and livestock shows, competitions and activities can be seen and watched all across the Fairgrounds. Not only can visitors watch but also learn about agriculture and animals as skilled hosts encourage participation during the activities. A number of rides and food choices will excite children and families even more. The Georgia National Fair is an event that should be on your calendar every year.
Chalk Talk: Starting Early
It's never too early to instill work skills into your child's activities. Teaching and learning in the classroom integrates skills necessary for work, even in the elementary grades. Children already use skills such as asking questions, responding to a question or an adult's comment or explaining something to someone. Take Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. Although not the intention to only make money, these organizations encourage and engage their "scouts" to participate in working situations. Skills such as responsibility, organization, management, approaching and "making a sale," even ambition are part of selling Girl Scout cookies or the Boy Scout's popcorn campaign. Your child can learn those same skills outside of the classroom as well: through a lemonade stand, washing cars, walking the neighbor's pet or mowing yards. With your help, your child will learn "how to work" and the professional and personal skills needed to get and keep work. Choosing an activity they like will help this learning moment; children and teens won't even know they're learning and applying skills they'll need when they are much older.
