442 Pub Milan - New Banner

2008 | Filed Under 4-4-2 Pub | Leave a Comment

Down at my favourite watering hole there is a curious new flag with ‘Four Four Two, Milan’ on it. Although this flag, which can been seen on Facebook, appears to be English - red cross on a white background, not the Union Jack, interestingly enough, it is the flag of Milan.

Sausage evening shots

It was busy:

The Pub

A photo of Chris, a regular, at the 442, with a friend called Valentina:

Yours truly with Chris, although I have to admit that he looks happier to be in Valentina’s company. Can’t imagine why:

The lovely Martina, just one of the charming young ladies who work at the 442. My son thinks Martina is pretty cool, and she very kindly looked after Marty while his dad was talking bangers:

Yep, it was a fun evening.

Good place, good people, good beer, and bangers. What more could an ex-pat in Italy wish for?

Guess where I’ll be this evening?

The sausage saga sizzles on

2007 | Filed Under 4-4-2 Pub, Life in Italy, Milan | Leave a Comment

As I write, two super sausage sourcers, Liz and Claire from Lingo Design, are doing their level best to ensure that good old British bangers wend their way to Milan in time for the launch of the 4-4-2s full English breakfast, theoretically in little more than one week!

Just to confirm that Shane Wilson, the Australian who is the Scottish National Touch Rugby team coach, is now over here. There will be a touch rugby training session tomorrow, the 11th October at 9.05pm in Via Govone, 35, Milan. Afterwards, I guess, everyone will be off down to the 4-4-2 pub! I shall be at the pub around 10ish.

Sausage Crisis!

2007 | Filed Under 4-4-2 Pub | Leave a Comment

My good friends at the 4-4-2 pub in Milan, as I have mentioned before, are about to launch their full English breakfast. The launch is planned for the 28th and 29th of October, 2007. But the 4-4-2 has a problem, a big problem: that is they have no good frozen English sausages to serve up with their inaugural English breakfast. Alessandro the landlord urgently needs a supply of good frozen English sausages.

Tinned haggis.

2007 | Filed Under 4-4-2 Pub | 1 Comment

A long time ago, I remember shocking Italians by telling them that ravioli, macaroni cheese and spaghetti bolognese were all available in tins in the UK. And when I told them that I had had ravioli on toast, I think it confirmed their suspicions that English people were an odd bunch!

Four Four Two

Andy and his two mates have reduced the number of ‘two for the price of one’ beer vouchers by 3 to 27.  Hope you had a good time Andy and Co.  I would have wondered along had not been for the fact that I was down by the seaside.
