Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 01/02/2025I also love the two leather bucket chairs at the small table in The Colmore that is situated right at the end of the long main room as it looks back straight down through the pub for peak people watching. 110
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 01/02/2025There is a small shelf that wraps around a pillar in The Wellington right opposite the bar and sitting at a stool there with a pint of Oakham Citra at 11am is one of my favourite spots. 210
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I had a second can of it last night and I think it genuinely is a decent blend of the two with characteristics of both coming through in a pretty balanced way. 010
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 18/01/2025A fitting game for his first game back for up at your place. Should get a good reception from both sets of supporters. 110
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Was very tempted but given I'm easing myself back in went for a 4%er from Helmsley Brewing and bloody nice it was. 000
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 17/01/2025A cracker of a pub. Wouldn't expect anything less from Thornbridge. Cheers! Only a quick stop straight from work myself and then I'm off to Blackheath. 000
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Hahaha I only drink clear beers from cask now don't you know. 110
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Seriously, though, my dry spell from Boxing Day is over today and it's been the easiest one yet. Not sure if I will do it again next year or not, we will see. Looking forward to a pint though now, I must say. 120
Reposted by Johnny RudgeYour boy, Rob Edwards @robedwards90.bsky.social · 16/01/2025If anyone has access to loads of money, Johnny and I want to make a motion picture that will invoke so much working class consciousness and bring the Black Country to the world. 011
Reposted by Johnny RudgeYour boy, Rob Edwards @robedwards90.bsky.social · 16/01/2025'Rouse ye, Women' (2027) - a film about the 1910 Cradley Heath Chainmaker's Strike. Directed by Johnny Rudge. Casting by Rob Edwards. A Boy Quest Production. 121
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Together we will create a movie that will invoke so much working class consciousness. 110
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I can one hundred percent see her as a 20th Century chainmaker. You've got a job as my casting director. 110
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Beamish never went away in Cork. The Rebel County need to get moving although I suspect it's probably been acquired by some detestable multinational now. 100
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 16/01/2025If Murphy's starts appearing places on the bar or in small pack I will be absolutely buying a tonne of it for nostalgia reasons alone. The Old Man used to always have four cans of this in the fridge when I was growing up. 220
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 16/01/2025My heart yearns for his return. My head understands it will end in a tarnished legacy. 010
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 14/01/2025JR's Birmingham City Centre Pub Tour #2: The Queen's Head. A Davenport's Brewery pub that opened on the site of the old 'Jekyll and Hyde's gin bar after the brewery closed The Bulls Head, another city centre pub it owned (which I much preferred personally) on Bishopsgate Street. 010
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Good morning. This morning's coffee brewing was soundtracked by Kaleidoscope World by The Chills. 010
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Throwing my weight behind a visual reveal of the Früh umbrella aka 'The Great Investment' 120
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Been on the list for a long old time but finally got round to it. Pour over coffee (a Kenyan micro lot bean I'm currently still dialling in - an expensive hobby I certainly didn't fucking need) and an hour until I have to do anything. Let's get stuck in. 120
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 11/01/2025The 1910 Women Chainmakers Strike in Cradley. The cast would mainly be made up of black country women since it is tough to trust actors with the dialect. If Saoirse Ronan could manage it (she obviously could) she would be a shoo-in. 100
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Just read these on the bus home for the weekend and it's all bloody brilliant, mate. 100
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Please enjoy the first edition of exteriors of pubs I walk past when strolling around town on my way to work or on my lunch break. JR's Birmingham City Centre Pub Tour #1: The Old Contemptibles. 140
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 10/01/2025I had never done it, not out of malice but just hadn't made it part of my process of posting pictures (laziness I guess), but reading Ray's breakdown on its importance from his post in November '23 has prompted me to set the alt text requirement on here to ensure it does become habit so thank you! 110
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 10/01/2025To misquote Tom Green in his Subway Mo key Hour Special: "Why don't you have anything to drink? Choose mild, making you better feeling." 000
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 10/01/2025It's not something I foresaw for myself either but I've been going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. 010
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Heard a couple of songs of his that I quite dug. Worth investigating his catalogue? 100
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Yeah, a nice shoegazey indie country vibe. Spun On A Dime is the pick of the tracks for me but I like them all. 100
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 10/01/2025First time in a while I've really been into a pretty unknown band. Can't stop listening to this EP - Midwestern Seance by Dream Jar: open.spotify.com/album/12vrsY...open.spotify.comMidwestern SeanceDream Jar · EP · 2024 · 6 songs 110
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 09/01/2025This is absolutely tremendous. Thank you very much, mate 🫡 010
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Haven't been to Manchester for a year or so so putting it out here in the hope of some recommendations for lovely places to scran if possible? Nothing super fancy, just somewhere nice for my sister in law and her two mates to eat some good food. 201
Johnny Rudge @johnnyrudge.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Haha we are trying to ween her off parties completely already because they're just such a pain. 000
