Hi Spiff. Jodan says that we can't name the UG Pub the Pig and Slag unless you agree. I hope you take this responsibility seriously, as the wrong decision could call down the Wrath of the Goddess on your head.

So, if you will just tell me that you think it's a grand name,(it is a good name - I'm not asking you to endorse something substandard ), I will pass it along to Jodan and we can open the bar.

Hello there, Hypatia,

thankyou for asking my opinion on this matter, I slipped over to your page and unearthed the thread with Jodan in which he suggested that my 'permission' be sought - but I'm not so sure you really needed to ask me at all.

Go ahead and christen the drinking-hole however you wish, on the sole condition you at least consider getting the drinks in if I were to drop by!

Well, in real terms, perhaps you'd just be kind enough to give me a clue as to where to find the Sow and Slapper... er... no, it's not a porcine permutation at all, is it? it's a metallurgical metaphor - or smelting simile, or something, isn't it?

Ah well...

call it what you will with my blessing, called for or otherwise, and long may she rain. or some-such

i'll see you one of these for that drink, then

I was almost sure you wouldn't be back for a while. That's why I made her get your permission.

But I can admit when I've been out-manuevered. So I'm done.

Call it as you like.

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Spiff. I will personally pour you the beverage of your choice any time you come into the pub.

Jodan, at least you don't have to do something silly this time.

H

so what happened with this pub, then? Anything?

I haven't been 'down pit' for a good while, as you'll have noticed, .

Keep meaning to, but, you know how it is when you stop doing something and aren't quite sure how to get started again?

anyway, this thread is still top of my PS 'message' board, and the title never fails to catch my eye (!), so I thought I'd enquire within.

Hio. The UG Group is still, unfortunately, referred to as the Pig and the Slag.

And the UG is still going.

And so the nightmare continues...
