"Goode's Daze out"

 

At Long Last

 

At long last, The Calder in Brighouse has finally got round to putting hand pumps on the bar. I am not sure which beers are going to be dispensed, but it is welcome news nonetheless.

The sportsman, near the railway bridge in Huddersfield is closed at present, but will be opening soon as a real ale pub.

The Old Gits called in at the city vaults in Bradford town centre and consumed pints of excellent Golden Pippin, before going to The Shoulder of Mutton in Kirkgate. This is a very busy Sam Smith’s pub, where The Old Brewery Bitter was on top form and at a great price.

Before my family got a television set (why is it set when there’s only one), I was an avid radio listener. My favourite shows were comedy such as Rays A Laugh with Ted Ray and Kitty Bluett, Meet the Huggets, starring Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison, and Jimmy Jewell and Ben Warriss in ‘Up The Pole.’

Some programmes took the step from radio to television but didn’t make the transfer successfully. Shows like Educating Archie with Peter Brough (whoever heard of a radio ventriloquist, he may as well have been a radio juggler). Another show that failed on T.V was The Clitheroe Kid starring Jimmy Clithero. He sounded good on radio as a cheeky young lad, but on the Tele he came across as a wizened old man.

I still listen to radio, particularly BBC7 which features Kenneth Horne in Round the Horne and Beyond our Ken, Tony Hancock in Hancock’s Half Hour, The Goon Show, The Navy Lark and many more.

My neighbour Tommy came home from work and said to his wife “What the hell did you put in my sandwiches this morning? - it was awful” “It was crab paste”, replied his wife. “Crab paste”? retorted Tommy. “How long have you had it”? “I only got it yesterday” she answered, “it was buy two get one free at Boot’s chemist.”

A man walks into a chemist shop and asks for some viagra tablets. The chemist asks if he was a prescription. “No” replies the man, “but here’s a photo of my wife”

The first Festivale Beer fest. At The Old Ship in Brighouse got off to a fantastic start with Twenty Four beers on the bar, all on hand pumps and cellar.
