Reviewing milestone

[Strongers]

Well done to Alan Winfield for reaching the 2000 pubs reviewed milestone. :cheers::notworthy::cheers:

[hondo]

551

[Quinno]

Out of curiosity, following on from my thread about the pub with most reviewers reviews by aggregate, I noticed that a number of us are heading towards a 1000 - I'm about 100 off and MrB is around 50 away.

I won't tell the life insurance people if you don't...:cheers:

[RogerB]

Oh, that sort of milestone. Yes, well done - a sterling effort.

I saw the thread title and thought someone was requesting details of milestones in pub reviews. As it happens there is one outside one of my local pubs telling me it's 15 miles to London. And then there's the London Stone and... I'll get my coat.

[ROBCamra]

I'll get my coat.

Anorak is it? :evilgrin:

[Al 10000]

Thanks for that Strongers,

I have been busy over the last week sorting more negatives out and putting them onto disc then add to my pub list after which i add them to PG.

Lots of London pubs coming up as i visited over 900 in London between 2004 and 2010.

[Pubsignman]

Great stuff Al - I guess that means you're one fifth of the way through writing up all your reviews (presuming youve not been in any new pubs since you conceived your username! ;))

Look forward to reading your London reviews.

PSM

Thanks for that Pubsignman,

Yes that was why i called myself Al10000 i did my 10000th pub on 20 March 2010,since then i have been in another 233 new pubs to me things have slowed down since i was made redundent.

Regarding London reviews they wont be up to the standards of the regular London reviewers as i used to go in a pub have a half pint and write in my book if it was good or not so good, and i also listed all the real ales that were on the bar i did'nt take any notice of decor or how many rooms the pub had.

:cheers: Alan

And when i saw the thread i thought it was about reviewing these chaps.

http://www.milestonebrewery.co.uk/

Well done to Al though that is top reviewing. I think i am up to about five.

[Rex_Rattus]

Where I take my hat off to you Alan, is having the foresight back in the 80s to realise that one day you would have somewhere to display all these reviews, and perhaps more importantly, your pub photo gallery for all to see.

[Pubsignman]

Time for this thread to be bumped in order to congratulate RogerB, who becomes the sixth(?) member of the '1000 pubs reviewed' club.

Good work that man. :cheers:

[RogerB]

Thank You PSM. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it.

[aleandhearty]

Time for this thread to be bumped in order to congratulate RogerB, who becomes the sixth(?) member of the '1000 pubs reviewed' club.

Good work that man. :cheers:

Hear, hear. Not only 1000, but a depressingly high standard for the rest of us. :)

[RogerB]

There's currently 581 "works in progress" as well!

[Old Blue]

Time to doff our caps again, I see Rex has recently become the eighth member of the '1000+ reviews' club, and Strongers has just made the 2000.

I really don't know how you do it, chaps, but you have my admiration in bucketfulls (or should that be barrelsfull?).

[Quinno]

Time to doff our caps again, I see Rex has recently become the eighth member of the '1000+ reviews' club

I think the 1000+ list is (in no particular order)

Roger, Rex, Strongers (AKA Steve C), Alan Winfield, Soupy, Quinno :D, JAQPTIO, John McGraw.

Missing anyone else?

[Wittenden]

A ha!-Good to put a name to a name!

[Quinno]

Oh and JAQPTIO is rpadam in old money.

[Farway]

Oh Oh, just spotted on my link

"Pubs Contributed to: 666" :evilgrin:

And I have a mini milestone due,

"picture contributions to 599 other pubs"

I wil have to check through to make sure my 600th pub picture contribution is worthy of it's place, at least photographically, some from Lincoln may be just the ticket as it was lovely sunny day on my visit, blue skies & fluffy white clouds

[Strongers]

I've only really done 1990 unique pubs. I do have 5 more to write up but my plans to visit 5 this afternoon before scurrying home and writing them up to get the 2000 this year were derailed.

[Maldenman]

Yes congratulations indeed to Rex. I set him a challenge to hit 1,000 by New Year some weeks ago, one he achieved with some room to spare. Looks like all those Tuesday night training sessions have paid dividends! :notworthy:

Not trying to be pedantic mate, but I reckon you're already there. As it says 599 OTHER pubs, then including the pub you're looking at makes it 600.

You're right of course, I must not do sums after lunchtime pub visit

Well done to Peter, Al and the rest. Its what makes PuG the best site by far.

A (trivial) question to Admin or anybody - Why does the photo count stop on >5000, but other scores carry on past that to give the exact reading.:confused:

[Galore Admin]

We felt that the number was being used in a manner that was demotivating (which is very much contrary to why they are there) and so we obscured it.

A fairly vague answer, but is pretty much the reason for it. There is no technical (computer) reason that it is done.

[Bucking Fastard]

Congratulations to ROBCamra for reaching the 1,000th pub reviewed milestone.:notworthy:

He joins an elite club,but I just wonder how many he would have clocked up if it wasn't for The Baum ;)

Went past the 1500 barrier last week.:whistle:

[RogerB]

I almost hit the 1000 backlog barrier - not sure if that warrants any praise! Currently on 943! At some point I'm gonna do a blitz of 2 liners using the migration tool just to get them out of the way.

I forgot to say i was also taken to hospital last Wednesday by ambulance with really bad pains in my right chest,this was a form of mild pleurisy,i have had this really bad in the mid 90s,this is a pretty painfull condition to have.

So ive had a crap week and this week seems pretty much the same:mad:

You could come along on my crawl of Peckhan Rye and East Dulwich,which i hope to do at least 21 new pubs for 2014,not sure if you have done any in that area of South East London,if you like batting round pubs regardless of what they are like,then you are very welcome to join me on the 25 January 2014.

Ok maybe another time if i get down London again,i was going down there once or twice a month in the mid 2000s,plus having weekends there with my wife,we knocked out hundreds of new pubs,but this dried up once i was made redundent,i have only been down there three times since then because of my low wage now.

The only thing that would upset me would be to discover that the 1,000th review was about a Greene King pub......like my first.

I have to admit to a bit of a backlog,still not tackled the pubs on the Lancashire side of the Pennine Canals nor Will's excellent selections in Sheffield.Going to Cheltenham this Saturday for another crawl but will still be short of the magic number even when up to date.

Could be very close.

Thanks but it really is just a number to me as is the new pubs visited thread. Contrary to popular belief, at the moment less than half of these are JDWs. I'm more concerned about how I'm going to manage to get to the Wick Spoons without spending two whole days on trains or devoting an entire week on it. I see nobody else has been there yet. It looks like Thurso would be a better place to set up base.

I don't think the Tweed has been the Border (at Berwick anyway) since the days of Henry VIII. The Salmon Leap is of course the most northerly JDW in England.

Edit: I just noticed it's on the closed or closing list so it won't be the most northerly then!

[Aqualung]

Edit: I just noticed it's on the closed or closing list so it won't be the most northerly then!

I knew about that so was on the lookout for any signs but as is often the case there was nothing. I was there on a weekday morning and it seemed no less busy than any other of their outlets at that time of day but the rock bottom guest ale price must say something. Maybe Berwick is too small a town for an outlet that size, although the pub isn't exactly a barn.

I'm a bit late to the party ,but well done Aqualung.Good to see you visiting lots of non 'spoons pubs,but just wondering if you are on a mission to visit all the 'spoons still open ??

I'm a bit late to the party ,but well done Aqualung.Good to see you visiting lots of non 'spoons pubs,but just wondering if you are on a mission to visit all the 'spoons still open ??

Basically yes but I'm not including airport or NEC ones. It's great to visit other pubs and I tend to only do a "Spoons Rampage" in cities or large urban sprawls. With all the closures it requires a huge effort to work out how many I've been to and all I know for sure is it's over 400. My target for the year which is already looking a doddle is to have visited at least one pub for every English County in the JDW directory.

I'd like to know how many words he has typed into this site!

I've got no idea, but it must be a lot. I've always written quite detailed reviews because when I first joined the site there was a discussion on here about how to improve the site's Google ranking. It was suggested that Google takes factors such as word count into account when returning search results, so I figured if I wrote detailed reviews, it might improve PuG's prospects of appearing higher up on Google searches, thus generating more interest in the site. Not sure that's what's happened, but I now seem to be stuck with that style of reviewing!
