The Poolie Bunker

.. visit that nice new pub being built on the old baths site at Seaton when it opened, just think she mused, a walk along the front and somewhere nice to pop into for a drink and to take in the sea view, till............... we drove past and she ahd a severe attack of the Hyacinth Buckets. "THEY HAVE TO BE JOKING" ...she squealed ..."THEY'RE GONNA CALL THE NEW PLACE ....THE VOODOO LOUNGE....I wouldn't be seen dead in a place with a name like that".....?

they were gonna call it the Zombie Arms, but the arms tend to fall off after a while so they came up with the Papa Doc Lounge instead.

It's gotta be a wind up... it also describes itself as Hartlepools newest wine bar.....wonder what drinking circuit that's on!

It's probably true, there's Voodoo Lounges all over the country.

The best pub name I've encountered locally is the 'Horn in Hand' in Nottingham city centre. There's also a pub in Notts somewhere called 'The 5 Bells Inn' which makes me think of one of those videos involving one talented woman and lots of men.

...surely it would look like a bunch of plums going down the plughole at the same time.

Ah, but some vessels have several entry/exit point fixings. Think flanges!

I spend my waking hours thinking of little else

I think you've missed an 'n' out.

nah, there's only one 'n' in thinking
