Some dodgy old school pub games too though, 'slpat the rat' 'aunt sally' 'tap and spile' or that one where you throw a coin in a box under the dart board maybe?

[StraferJack]

it was the Londoners what got competitive quids, and then some

(Toad in the Hole btw)

And I don't doubt your "3 beats 2" statement for a second - which is why I am not going down that road

[StraferJack]

We wuz robbed - only got given 3 brass coins

I do love this paragraph at then end

"For the last two years the Laughing Fish have won the league, but the game is getting a lot more competitive with teams trying ever harder to improve. Pubs outside the county are also trying to compete, with The Woolpack, Burgess Hill aiming to compete in the near future."

Surprisingly captivating game, especially toward the end of the day. Throw in a High-chair, a thumb sucking rule and it all adds to the glamour.

I'm not so sure. In some ways it is much harder. Just getting out the bloody door becomes a huge challenge.

But you're much more self assured and secure than with the first kid, where everything is new and a bit scary.

But this is rather off topic.

I didn't mean that to sound mean

I love Harveys and old farts

[StraferJack]

oh don't worry, no meanness taken

It's one of the things I like about old dogs, bark is worse than their bite ;-)

Lots of proper grey beards in Lewes. Bobbly jumpers and in summer, various types of brown leather sandals that you've never seen in the shops.

[MrBen]

And thats just SJ.

We certainly will be doing those burgers. A big hearty 8oz beef burger at that. We'll even through in a lettuce leaf to make it all nice and healthy...

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Popping over for a pint shortly. Look forward to seeing the boozer and having a couple pints. 6 x 6

[stress_head]

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Had a couple pints this afo. Enjoyed it. Nice boozer, needs people though dropin in. A good circuit to be had round that way..
