h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You mean that after only 18 months and one week of discussion, we've finally SETTLED ON A NEW NAME?!?

Isn't that a bit hasty?

please, Menz. I need to keep my strength up if I'm going to keep getting shocks like that!

*pours *

Here you go Ormy.

And we haven't settled on a permanent new name, but this one will do for a while. And lets face it I'd been trying on the old one for far too long. Look, I'd even worn holes in the knees.

*flutters eyelashes at Menz*
Soooo, if it doesn't matter what you call it...
*sits on a toadstool playing a fiddle in a pointed fashion of being a Fairy and Fiddle*

Any reference to fiddling with fairies could give passers-by entirely the wrong impression.

The pub sign could be a fairy playing a fiddle to a cat. When the Community Art scheme finally opens its doors, Menza needs to get in there quick with the request.

*sharpens her crayons*

Look, here, the important thing or not, and I think we're all missing it quite frankly is wether or not we can get any of these:



no matter what this pub's called,

and oh, god that's good...

<

that's all i'm >hic< saying...

is the name doesn't really matter >hic< it's the people...

fine people >hic< like yourselves >hic<

so name debate be damned... >hic< lets do some some drinking,

some, >hic< some bonding >hic< some connecting on a personal level,

>hic<

and some drinking.

>hic<

damned hiccups,

thass a good stout....

*laughs*
It's not fiddling with fairies, it's fairies fiddling... musically Oooh a fairy could be sat on a little toadstool playing the fiddle to Kitty, that'd look fun ...and I could play Kylie

Drinking! That's a good idea.

You want to play Kylie? At what?

That fun dancing arcade game? that'd be quiet amusing actually...

Oh btw peregrin wishes to add that he's going to start a campaign to get this renamed the Fairy and Falcon and if this happens he'll fully endorse the place and provide lots of extra funding for more beer and stuff...

Now *that's* clever! No wonder he's President.

I rather liked Fin and Feathers, but hasn't that already been taken?

The Dolphin-Dragon Drink & Dance Hall? (Just think what we could do with the sign for -that- one! ) We could even incorporate a fiddling fairy and feline dancer

*laughs*
I think menza's intent on keeping F&F though he might be swayed with that

And whats clever EV, Peregrin's attempts at bribary? I think this was the first place we met, aaah such memories

I meant that the Fairy & Falcon was clever, but now you mention it, the bribery aspect is quite clever too.

*grins*
yes he's very proud of it, very adament that it should be the new name too
*starts singing "Stand and deliver" due to references to adament*

how about all the things beginning with F take it in turns, so that we retain the F&Fness of the place but still have the temporary-name-ness and the share-and-share-about-ness?
So far we have fairy, feline, fiddle, falcon, fin... any other takers?
We could also get it renamed to suit special occasions, if we wish.
[Friends, food, frolics, festivities]

If F & F it must be, then Firewater and Follies springs to mind.

I know a word beginning with F, but I doubt if you'd be allowed to use it.

*watches as the tone of the conversation descends*

Actually I've toyed with variations on that word but Figured it would go aFoul of the F*in Fiends with the red ink in any Form, so I Forged ahead. :>

*looks innocent*
Freud?

Filibuster! There, I said it.
