I was going through some old emails and found the below. It seems a shame to waste it...
A cracking night out I thought - my Highworth 10 round-up for those that couldn’t make it, or can’t remember it.
The Rose & Crown – The Kylie clan gathered while Leeds gave Spurs the run-around and the bewhiskered landlord laid the table for the Burns’ night supper, the smells of which drifted in from the nearby kitchen
The Jesmond – We learnt who enjoys gardening, that the British public have a terrible taste in music (Barbie Girl 15th biggest-selling single) and that Dave Beasant was on the bench the last time England were in a World Cup semi-final
The Goldfinger – Surprise pub of the night for me. Expanding table, Stu’s Play Your Cards Right and discussing the calibre of England’s World Cup Finals victims
The Plough – a welcome for Mark and Darts victories to me and Cookie
The Globe – Kev’s top World Brands quiz (Derrick Newman at 31) and Stu’s second card game which didn’t live up to the first
The Saracens – Dismissing social networking websites as 20th century communication tools and PG’s ‘person or place’ quiz crashing and burning.
The King and Queen – Premier League top scorers list discussed, memory fading now.
The Fox – Didn’t Stu say we needed to finish here because it was Highworth’s top pub now? So why were we the only people in there? And why did Stu talk to the bar-staff and leave us to talk to each other and play draughts?
Rafus – A very good curry to finish things off. Even if we had to pay for the ‘pizza naan’ and we needed sunglasses to look at Stu’s dinner!
We should do the Highworth 10 every year!
