The Bus Pass Bandit has been keeping a low profile lately but normal service looks like gradually being resumed with this sampling of Second City staging posts...
The Bandit returns to Birmingham and meets his co-conspirators in the Woodman, a pub recently reopened next to ongoing work on HS2 in Eastside.
Sitting comfortably in the Woodman's Smoke Room with a fruity pint of Titanic Plum Porter.
Next stop is the Eagle and Ball, a Birmingham City University student pub with illustrations from the old Polytechnic 'Polygon' magazine on display.
The Bandit recalls reading these publications during his own days as a student.
Half a Guinness and a complimentary bag of crisps will do nicely here.
We have to negotiate a construction site on our way to the next pint, but at least this warning sign seemed to be aware of our intentions!!
The Sacks of Potatoes in Gosta Green is another student pub, this time on the Aston University campus.
The Lilley's Rum Cider is an unexpected (but rather tasty) offering.
Our final stop is the Gunmakers Arms, taphouse for the Two Towers Brewery.
And a taste of their Hockley Gold to finish.
