I'm a Barbie Girl
OK, so, money's no object, and land and space are complete non-issues. What's the best possible pub you could ever come up with?
Mine?
Fossett's Bar will be located just down the road from Fossett's Farm, Southend on Sea, Essex.
The bar will be tended by the guy who bartends at The Spread Eagle if I can get him away from his pub for ten seconds, but if not I'll settle for the Coyotes from Coyote Ugly.
This bar will sell all kinds of alcoholic drinks at decent prices (pints no more than a pound), with discounts being given to those who have Southend United season tickets. Soft drinks and decent water will also be provided.
In terms of reading material, there's the newspaper the food comes in, the Daily/Evening Echo, or All At Sea. You want to read a different paper/book, bring it with you.
There will be several TVs stationed around the place so that people can watch their sports, even if they do clash (I'm thinking footie, F1, tennis, cricket, and possibly one TV dedicated to Sky Sports News on matchdays for those who just want to know the scores and aren't fussed about the actual game). These will be 24" at least, possibly HD as well.
Jamie Oliver can bloody well do some good by heading up the kitchen staff with proper pub food, none of this fancy-pansy ninny rubish you see on daytime TV cooking shows these days.
Pub quizzes will be hosted on Thursdays by our very own Cricko (as long as he doesn't call me a Barbie Girl again), with a new topic drawn at random afterwards. All non-alcoholic drinks will be half-price for the duration of the event.
Smokers can use the small corner of the beer garden not covered with outdoor seating.
Music will be played as background noise, mainly using BBC Radio 2 and Match Day Radio, unless it's 7 on Saturdays for a Southend home game and 8 on Saturdays for a away game, in which case, Match Day Radio will take over. The same applies for Wednesdays at 7. BBC Essex will also be used, if they ever get round to properly covering Southend games in the future.
Everyone is welcome, unless you are a Colchester United fan, Canvey Island fan, or a West Ham fan. Also, chavs and those who talk like gangstas are not welcome.
Anyone who talks about Big Brother or some other reality TV show (I'm a Celebrity, etc) in any way other than "That blonde off of Big Brother, what's her name, Cheryl? She's hot!" will be evicted. Anyone who talks about the kind of thing you'd find in Heat magizine will be thrown out. Anyone found to be causing trouble or disturbing the peace will be thrown out. Anyone found to be using illegal drugs will be thrown out.
