I used to like this statue, there was an exhibition of the sculptors work, Raymond Mason, on at the Art Gallery at the time. You could walk into the middle of this one and get the feel of marching Forward as it was called. Or you just eat your chips in there, or set fire to it.

Arrived at the airport about 14:10 and 40 minutes later I was in departures. The security queue does look enormous but it moves quickly.

Yes, it’s a nightmare. On the plus side the bastards have had such a hostile reception they might not come back here again:
Ministers clash with police over conference protests

Venue of Ozzy Osbourne's first gig to be restored after lying derelict

A bit of good news as far as live music in Brum goes. I've been in there many a time but never to a live gig. Early punk gigs were mainly in Barbarellas or Rebecca's. The Crown sort of became the place to be with the later punks, the GBH & Exploited bunch and had a bad rep for trouble.
I do remember going in there when the Super Prix was on and I think the all day opening hours had just come into force, it was very lively.

The pub has been derelict for a number of years despite having decades of rich musical history within its walls

I know the Birmingham Music Archive guy was pushing for something to be done about it, I used to go there to Henry's Blues House back in the day

I hadn't heard of the website but I've just looked at the website and FB page - looks very interesting.

He was my line manager at work. I didn’t even know he was the guy behind Brumpic.

I didn’t realise he worked for us until I saw some tweets from colleagues and when I saw his bio I realised he was probably your boss and immediately thought f you. I seen you’ve posted elsewhere about it but didn’t want to interfere with your processing of it.
I hope you’re ok. No doubt work will put something out to pay tribute and it will be a tough time for your team. Thoughts are with you and the rest of your team. Reach out if you need to.

Was Dave’s funeral today. Was… emotional. Then had to come straight into work to manage a large public lecture based on the theme of happiness.
I think he’d have found that funny

Well done though. Must have been a tough day to get through but yeah, I bet the irony afforded a wry smile.

That's a really good review of what's on there. I might be nipping over in the week for a stroll around.

Mid range, independent, bookable tables and not too far of a walk from the electric.
Cuisine wise fairy open apart from not into curry for lunch. Another idea was Franco manca but that looks like turn up only.
Perhaps I should chance it but my friend is travelling in so I want to reduce the stress. Will keep Isaacs booked for time being. Have you been beesonthewhatnow ?
