Florence
If upon hearing I’ve returned from three nights in Florence you were to ask me: “How many paintings of the Baby Jesus did you gawp at?” Or: “How many marbled penises did you fondle?” I’d be forced to shout, “NONE,” at you. I’d then explain that instead of queuing up to stumble, chin-strokingly, around art […]
Adam’s – Birmingham
A couple of months ago I got married, I know, this player finally packed up his playing boots and said goodbye to the circus. I’d like to take this moment to apologise to all the disappointed women out there. Sorry. Due to the wedding taking place on a Saturday, I arranged to finish work on […]

Folium – Birmingham

Two good, two bad – January 2018
I’ve done a fair bit of eating and drinking over the past few months but frankly, haven’t been bothered to blog about it – I can only apologise. Please, for the love of Christ, forgive me. It’s not really fair to compare the four places I’m about to write about, but then when did I ever […]
Roux at the Landau – Review
The FoodieBoys needed to up their game. Sure, we know the street food scene like the back of our heavily stamped hands (they sometimes stamp your hand) but it was time for a bit of fine dining. With us not being wealthy men (yet! If you’d like to give us money, let us know and […]
