All NEW TA CHUCKS

Can't believe nobody did this while I was away. I had to move down three screens to get into Ta Chucks and the place is all cobwebbed over.

For our newer members, Ta Chucks is a bar run by Cousin Hilda and her whippet. In that chinese vase are the southern fried remains of my very dear friend Lee Culkin the evil macaw and to the left, you can see the film stills from Guy Ritchie's domino-hustler movie, shot in this very bar. Ta Chucks was always the best place to meet and start the nonsense and ouzo consumption of an evening.

It will now be found here, until it drifts down the page and then will be opened up again.

Was that alright Hilda ? And it's good to be back and see some new names.

Well, nice to see all the regulars flooding back to Ta Chucks. Are you in Prague yet Liana ? I have tons of lire coins if anyone is a numis, numismatist...coin collector. And Lake Garda was extremely beautiful - made me wish I could paint.

We consistently beat Wolves, the football team that is. Looks like Andrew is packing them in 'ere. Bad pun. Sorry.

Y'know, we can now do a virtual pub-crawl ! Or better yet - inter-pub contests. I've had a quick shuftie at the Elf and Unicorn and they're a right bunch of Cure-loving, pixie-boot wearing dreamers. We could have them at darts, pool, dominoes, bar bungee - anything you like. Give me Ta Chucks any day, where the sawdust is to soak up the spit not to make the unicorns feel at home. Sorry Ivory, but your wine bar has been taken over by Yuppie Tolkein fans.

We should challenge them to a good old fashioned game of Cleudo! They even serve Ouzo there, The cheek of it!

If we're planning a virtual pub crawl, surely we need a virtual kebab house?

Si, I suspect Professor Petrel, with the alias. Or possibly Colonel Fishbone, with the damp poodle. And nice to see abc nicking my description of Ta Chucks for the front page and daily update. Where's that little c-in-a-circle button when you need it. Hello Emily, didn't know you frequented this sort of dive *coughs* high-class emporium. Watch out for Robert, he has a thing for elfin types.

Hi Andrew, Thought I'd give this place a go 'cos the other bar had a public 'elf warning...(sorry) I confess, it was I that stole your description of Ta Chucks - you summed it up so well (I'm editing the site while Di's on holiday, as well as doing my normal job, so I'm rapidly resorting to the evils of plagiarism!)

Hilda just sms'ed me, and said cheers. Shes been away. *taps nose* Did you see her on your travels Mr. Pack? Ive been hearing rumours about you, young feller-me-lad

I say! Once you get past the cobwebs the place looks delightful! The decorators have done a first-class job since you've been away, Cousin Hilda. Look! Not a single whippet hair on the carpet. Ah… and there's my old armchair with a copies of all the Literary Supplements. And a jar of vitamin supplements. I may need them. I believe we might be paid a visit by that young wolfgirl this evening… *whistles 'Leader of the Pack'*

I did try and suggest to hilda that she took on a new lease opportunity Mr Pack sir, honest I did. But she wouldn't listen.

wolfgirl

A dog? Um, wolves and dogs are not great pals (unless you count those mucky ones who create hybrids, but we don't talk about those in polite wolf society). However, I like a man with the word 'pack' in his name, just as a sheep might like someone with the word 'flock'. Anyway, if dogs are allowed (whippet always sounds to me like an invitation to kinky practices) - can a wol-luf come in?

An american spiritualist once told me to watch out for WHIPPETS. I never believed him...tilnow. Who's is that un-muzzled variety over there? And can they run faster than humans?

thanks for the offer iFB (secretly, I'm loving been able to do this much writing as part of my job - it's great fun) However, if anyone wants to submit some ideas for the front page, I may well end up using them - and it would be great to know what you'd like to see on the front page. Cue another forum...
