Today I'm happy about......

My cat for once listened to me

Is that the first living creature to listen to you so far this year?

It was probably bright enough not to agree with most of what was said, but it listened.

No matter what you try Merkel will not let you hump her, Putins her babe at the moment and he's going to get a dressing down for daring to suggest in 2 weeks he maybe half way to her place

Yeay Heeey.

Now, not that I've ever sent any of these kind of messages out, but I do believe that this sort of thing goes on.

SuperJohn running my local! Love it.

Is that the Long Pull ?

3 whole weeks refurbishment ... wow. There were some scary looking beggars in there a few weeks ago. I feel you can tell the class of the clientele by whether the women's tattoo's are spelt correctly.

Never heard it called that before. Horwichers of my generation knew it as the 'Flea pit' iirc

That's how I know it HG. Pint tomorrow?
Bobo are you referring to the two ugly bastards sat opposite you in the beer garden?
Also HG, the old Long Pull sign is still up on the back wall, visible from the beer garden but badly faded (like Bobo)

[bobo the clown]

OF... I still struggle as tthere are/were two Bay Horses within about 100 yards. So this IS the Long Pull.

.... & no LE, unattractive as those two were it was the preponderance of Russian shot putter types wearing vests and with more tattoos than Popeye that I meant.

Dating from 1777 this stone built pub is locally known as the long pull. In the lounge pool and darts are played and the Sports TV is popular. Whilst in the cosy, traditional vault there is interesting football memorabilia.

I guess you are not local enough, Harry

It certainly was known as that Monty but in my generation (born 1975) it's referred to as the Flea Pit. I'd never heard the Long Pull thing until having a beer in there with Bobo and his shot putter mates. Then I spotted the old sign on the wall. I'll ask my 70 year neighbour about it, he goes in there a fair bit. I'm just an arriviste from Great Lever so have no idea of the history!

I'm of a slightly earlier generation but I note a number of pubs are known locally as the Long Pull - on the theory (doubtless false) that they gave a slightly larger pint than the competition. I've never been in the Horwich one but I'll visit if I ever reach my hometown again.

I'm still on for it.

[William the White]

That would be great.

Here's an idea - there's a 2.00pm matinee on Sat 18 October.

The Whites are away at Brum (never a tempting fixture for me, though I've done it more than once).

My guess is the play will run at about 2hrs 15mins, inc interval. So follow it with a couple of pints and/or fish n chips at the Olympus.

Any takers?
