S5 E23 Caravan Club

Join us for a hilarious episode of the Loggers Off podcast as we dive into the chaos of tech troubles, Yorkshire pudding debates, and the latest in beer trends! 🍻 In this episode, we tackle everything from Dan's internet woes to Martin's pickleball ranking. Plus, we discuss the resurgence of Dippers in the beer scene and share our thoughts on Halloween traditions.

Join us as we dive into the world of electric vehicles and the rising costs of diesel! 🚗💨 In this episode, we discuss the challenges of transitioning to electric cars, the impact of fuel prices, and the latest innovations in the automotive industry.

 summary In this episode, Dan and Martin catch up after a six-week break, sharing personal stories about recent losses, holidays in Thailand, and their latest beer adventures. They also dive into their thoughts on the new He-Man movie, childhood nostalgia, and the quirks of Thai culture.  

Dan and Martin are back with the pints in hand and the rants fully loaded. This week: Dan's TikTok Shop treadmill saga takes a hilarious turn (two broken treadmills, one very confused delivery driver), before the lads crack open Unbarred Brewery's Little Apple Pie Pastry Sour to see if it lives up to the hype (spoiler: jury's out). Then Martin goes full rant mode on the bizarre rise of jacket potato influencers — Spudman, the Spud Bros, four-hour queues for beans and cheese — and asks the question we're all thinking: what happened to a simple spud?  

Dan and Martin are back with another pint-fuelled ramble. This week: England's World Cup exit (and a proper rant about the tournament's US hosting), FIFA's finest fashion disaster of a bald bloke in trainers, Argentina's dark arts, and Martin's ongoing war with British Gas and the Energy Ombudsman. Then it's onto old faces — awkward reunions, Facebook stalking, mistaken identities, and an airport encounter that definitely wasn't awkward at all (someone's having an affair, and Martin's clocked it). Plus the food chat you've been waiting for: Martin goes full meltdown over overcomplicated sandwiches, the death of the classic meal deal, McDonald's discontinuing all the good stuff, and a 12-rasher Belfast bacon sandwich that took over an hour to arrive. 🍻 On the tasting bench: Unbarred Brewing's Stoutzilla – an Imperial Stout, 10%, made in Brighton. As always — grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the chaos. 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes 💬 Let us know your go-to meal deal combo in the comments 📩 Get in touch — we want to hear your bacon sandwich stories

Martin and Dan are back and going full tangent this week! They kick off exploring quirky sports like Irish road bowling (yes, that's a real thing) before spiralling into a full-blown nostalgia trip through the 90s — what did the decade even smell like? Along the way they swap ridiculous pub stories, pay tribute to music legends like Glen Campbell and Barry Manilow, and get sidetracked by some genuinely bizarre viral internet videos. Expect strong opinions, questionable memories, and the usual chaos. 🎯 In this episode: 🏐 Irish road bowling and other underrated sports 📼 A deep dive into 90s culture and nostalgia 🎤 Music legend chat — Glen Campbell, Barry Manilow & Milli Vanilli 🍺 Classic pub life stories and drinking tales 📱 The weirdest internet videos they've stumbled across 🎙️ Hosts: Martin Bell & Dan Webber Martin's a self-confessed beer nerd taking his lifelong mate Dan on a beer-curious journey — from mass-produced lager into the wonderful world of craft beer. Every episode, Martin picks something a little more complex to test Dan's taste buds. If it lands... "The Lager's Off!"  

Right, settle in with a cold one because this week it's a solo mission through the absolute fever dream that is a Scottish caravan holiday. It's hot as balls, the kids have gone feral, and somehow a pedal boat nearly claims a life. We're recounting the full holiday saga — from an overzealous lifeguard who's clearly watched too much Baywatch, to a genuinely heroic belly flop into Goose Island that nobody asked for. There's Lego, there's a swimming pool full of Scottish children behaving like it's the Wild West, and a very important debate about whether anyone actually wants to see their neighbours half naked in a hot tub (spoiler: no). Along the way we're necking Soutzilla from Unbarred Brewery, going deep on whether the can art lives up to the name, and somehow ending up on a tangent about Ozark, Arrested Development, and what it actually takes to survive as a contestant on Survivor. Cold water swimming gets a mention too, because apparently we're all about "survival skills" this episode, in the loosest possible sense. Grab a Beer, pull up a deckchair, and enjoy the chaos.

The lads are back! This week we're covering a lot of ground — from holiday plans and politics to our questionable home wifi setups and the dream jobs we never landed. Grab a pint and settle in. 🍻 Beer of the Week: We're staying with our brewery tour of Unbarred, and this week we're cracking open Black Rock — a Bourbon-infused stout with some serious depth. Smooth, boozy, and full of character — find out what we thought. 📌 In this episode: Holiday chat and travel plans A dip into politics (brace yourselves) Wifi woes and home broadband horror stories The dream jobs we all secretly wanted Tasting Unbarred's Black Rock Bourbon stout 🎧 New episodes every week — subscribe so you don't miss a pint. 👍 Like, comment, and let us know what you'd want your dream job to be!

Most of us are drowning in boring post and relentless customer service nightmares — so this week we tackle both. Thirty phone calls to British Gas and still no resolution? We've been there, and we'll tell you the law that might just save your wallet. We also dive into ignored parking fines, a mysteriously empty postbox, and a bizarre Latter Day Saints leaflet that had us questioning the end times. Meanwhile, Martin works his way through an 11% barrel-aged chocolate and hazelnut stout that's as dangerous as it is delicious, and Dan weighs up whether Jeremy Clarkson is a national treasure or a complete buffoon — and whether Harry Kane is really as nice as he seems. Pour a pint, tune in, and enjoy the most entertaining take on everyday chaos you'll hear this week.

This week, Dan and Martin crack open another cold one and tackle the big issues. MAMILs in Lycra — why are there so many of them, where did they come from, and who gave them permission to own the road? Then it's a deep dive into the soul-destroying world of parking fines — the dodgy signage, the two-minute overstays, and whether fighting them is ever actually worth it. And finally, British Gas. Oh, British Gas. If you've ever been on hold for 47 minutes only to be told your complaint has been 'escalated', this one's for you. Same pub chat. Zero resolution. Maximum catharsis.
