Does this Pub have a name?
« on: May 25, 2007, 04:54:32 PM »
Well?

The Flying Pig ?  ... as if

The Escapologist ?  ... where have you come from?

The Pink Elephant ?  ... Barman's hangover?

Yes .......... It is called ...... are you ready for this?.....................
THE VIRTUAL PUB  ::)

Which, and you may not be ready for this, is why it says THE VIRTUAL PUB at the top of the home page and, for that matter, every other page. doh:

Well in honour of all our regulars, I think it should be renamed the "Don't Fit Inn"

Trust me ~ a lot of thought and planning went into the name choice. It's a minefield out there, one wrong step and  whacky007

I'm sure  ;). Wearing the pedant's hat for a moment though, I was thrown by the use of the indefinite article in the Barman's welcome message:

The idea of a ?virtual pub? came to mind

Just an innocent query.

Innocent query?... Is that tautology?

There is a pub near here called "Brown Horse". A bit rough. Not "The Brown Horse" mark you, just "Brown Horse". I guess it's the only pub in the country that can't afford a "The"

Maybe there should be a quiz, on quiz night of course, I wouldn't want it to clash with the Morris Dancing on a Thursday or the Young Farmers night on the Friday.

It could be called  something original like  Name the Pub Quiz,
My contribution would be, The Knackers Yard or maybe The Virtual Pub which has a certain ring about it.

And maybe there could be a prize, donated by mine host?

Maybe we could introduce it to our 'Gentle Farrier' to smooth it out a bit?

I was quite liking the idea but then you went and spoilt it all by saying something stupid like ?donated by mine host?.  noooo:

There's nothing so lonesome
   morbid or queer.
Than to stand at the bar
   of a pub with no beer.

I woke up at 3am today with that song going round in my head. I didn't read your post until 0915!  scared2:
