The pub was a traditional one with a bar and a Rovers Return style snug, though modern features included a free to use X Box for those who feel the need to go to the pub to get their FIFA 15 fix.
It was a good pub selection from Jack who was ensuring that he was taking on board plenty of fluids due to the fact that he was suffering from a nasty bout of fresher's flu, an illness I must admit I'd only recently heard of though I resisted the urge to purchase a Michael Jackson style mask !!
I need to ensure that in the future any handwritten notes I make about pub visits are more legible, I have had a real job deciphering what I had to drink at The Roebuck, after much head scratching and some internet research I have realised that it was WSB (Wood Street Brewery) Golden Larch which was fine but very cloudy, I can only assume that it was nearing the bottom of the barrel, it had the appearance of an early morning in Beijing !!
Several coffee breaks at my work's annual conference, coupled with a few post conference pints meant that my bladder seal had now well and truly gone. My concern for my train journey home was not whether the buffet car was adequately stocked with cold cans of wife beater, it was infact the worry that the train's lavatory was not working. If it wasn't I'd got fifty two minutes of leg crossing ahead of me !!
Jack is a well adjusted individual, I quickly discovered not only does he have a clear career path mapped out once he finishes his studies, his two years in Sheffield have not diluted his love for Birmingham City or his hatred of ast*n v*lla. Dad Dave is seemingly a positive role model !!
Time was ticking on so there was just time for one more pub before I caught my train home though to be honest we'd probably got longer had I not firstly got the need for another toilet visit, and secondly gone the wrong way on my way out ending up in the pub's beer garden !! D'oh !!
