  Well i missed Friday, due to a heavy afternoon session on the beer after work. Hurray for cheap larger that gets you hammered in record time, along with some real ale stuff that i had, the sort of beer that is drank by men with beards.
Anyway my rant is about pubs, not ya normal friendly boozer that is welcoming and a good laugh, but the clicky little back street pub where strangers are not welcome. We've all been there and you break the cardinal rule of sitting in "Berts seat", even though he aint in the pub, nobody is allowed to sit in his seat, and unless you were born in that bloody street and lived there for sixty years your not a regular. Man i hate pubs like that, and they are always run by a complete arrogant wanker, who thinks he is an expert on everything, and can talk to anyone in any manner he feels like as he's the landlord. A classic example of this was the ex landlord of The Hornblower, a knob called Ken Bates, but enough on him.
And the other thing about these pubs is the fact that when you walk in, a stranger you get that silence. ALL conversation stops for a good ten minutes. Then it all starts up again, leaving you on your own. Deep fucking joy, and i have noticed how zenophobic these pubs are, god help anyone who's an ethnic minority who walks in there. Right that's my bile vented. Bit about Newport in Gwent. Sights to see... The clock in John Frost Square. A massive piece of waste to put in bluntly. It opens up on the hour, and is a total embarresment to the town, sorry CITY. The war memorial in John Frost Square is also an insult. I lump of rock. I kid you not, what an insult to the troops. I wonder who though that idea up, must of took them hours! Hay lets remember all the brave troops who fought in the war, and put a rock in John Frost Square.
The Wave. This is on the waterfront, that is being developed at the moment. Basicly this is a red thing, with a trangular flag thing stuck in the middle. It was illuminated once, but kids have smashed all the lights that were set in the ground. A classic waste of money. The Pig. Yes we have a statue of a pig! Outside the indoor market, the only thing i can say about it, is at least the kids like it..
