bob's ramblings

Since the GBBF is once again not running and I'm still not ready for indoor spaces which are not our house its time for another addition of bob's good beer festival.

This year I intend to take it at a better pace so that I don't have the repercussions I did last year (turn up and you can ask about them). Therefore I intend to do only 8 hours a day with plenty of time for food and stuff.

The timetable is currently (all times in BST):

• 2021-08-10 - 13:00-17:00 and then 19:00-23:00
• 2021-08-11 - 13:00-17:00 and then 19:00-23:00
• 2021-08-12 - 13:00-17:00 and then 19:00-23:00

I may spend the lunchtime sessions on alcohol free beer or I may not.

If you would like to drink some of the beer I will be drinking I bought the following cases.

• Going to Petersham. Mainly to meet up with people in the Dysart Arms


• Shouting at co-workers. I got a touch angry during a live deployment on wednesday.


• Drinking! Two days of supping tasty beer at the gbbf. The st austell black prince was the only thing to really stand out. The gunpowder mild was pretty good as well.


• Eating pig! I probably had far too many pork scratchings at the gbbf. Although there was a disturbing lack of hairy ones. I also had a 20 inch bratwurst.


• Staying at home! I couldnt face another day at the gbbf on friday and the weather didnt look too good so didnt go to croydon for the surrey match at whitgift. Instead listened to a fantastic england batting collapse. just like bad old days. ahh the memories.


• Blogging! I actually wrote a technical blog post after over a year. signed apt repos if you like that sort thing. also in a meta kind of way this post.
