The Hind and Hiney 
Nah. They’d revere Wayne Rooney. And the’re very British, by which I mean nowhere else could have understood the joke (rapping in a Welsh accent?!) and still made the band successful. Take a look at their last video for a bigger picture.
Ford Cosworths are Ford cars with a Cosworth engine in them, I think. They have better performance than a normal Ford. The car Gorillaman linked to is much too new to be a chav car. It has to be falling apart, yet have alloy wheels, UV underlights and massive speakers with a huge soundsystem to properly qualify.
My neighbour is a beautiful case of chav-ambition. He fitted a huge exhaust to his Peugeot 206. So big that it got rather close to the plastic bumper, which melted. :smack:
Can anyone tell me where the word ‘Chav’ comes from?
Back to the OP… 
My friend Gerry owned a pub in Co. Leitrim called The Poor Scholar. Pretty much reflected how Gerry had spent much of his life!
OK, I give, how the hell dod you pull off that coding?
Yeah, Elmwood, I’m impressed. You didn’t code all of that by hand did you?
Yeah, “Neighbors”, “The Eagle”, “Friends,” “Spartacus”, or “the Man Hole” or “Men’s Room” I assume are for Friends of Dorothy or their female counterparts (friends of Toklas?)
Rose and Thistle, County Cork, Darby’s etc I know will at least have Guinness and Bass and annoying pipe music on Thursdays.
Mercury Lounge, Polka-Dots, The Kitty Kat Klub, Cosmic Club, Space Room, etc will have overpriced beer, including Rainier green death or PBR for 4.50, and spendy cocktails and a bunch of black velvet kitch/ black light/ UFOs and being playing mostly Roxy Music and Dandy Warhols, with college grads who still get carded.
Waterhuis an de Bierkant, Onder de Ooievaar, and the Hopduvel will have good Belgian beers. . .
It appears it’s of Romany origin, although until googling it I’d never heard of this connection and I’ve never heard of anybody criticising it as a racist term (give it time) - http://www.worldwidewords.org/topicalwords/tw-cha2.htm
You just write a little script that takes a string of text and inserts incremental colour tags.
And The Irish Heather was exactly what I expected, (good) as was The Blarney Stone (bad.)
I’m sure we could fall back on the bazillion other names for that particular class of people if they do
The Rules for Irish pubs (my examples are all real pubs).
If named after someone real: usually very good, but full of serious drinkers and men in their 70s. Often a real “local”, and depending on the area, might be a bit rough.
e.g. Carrigans’, M J O’Neill’s, Ryan’s, Grace Neill’s, *Teach ** Tadgh
If named after someone not real, or a famous landmark: usually not good.
e.g. Scruffy Murphy’s, Molly Malone’s, The Blarney Stone, The Kerry Ring etc.
If the reason for the obscure name is lost in the mists of time: usually very good.
e.g. Bruxelles, The Brazen Head, The Bleeding Horse, The Bird Flanagan, The Nancy Hands
If something more cosmopolitan: expect imported beers, variable quality and high prices.
e.g. The Metropolitan, Cafe en Seine, Zanzibar, Lillie’s Bordello, The Capitol Bar, Samsara
The problem is with the more ambiguous names, if a clue to the interior can’t be gained from the exterior, it’s pot luck.
e.g. The Patriot, The Oak, The George Frederick Handel, The Black Lion, The Old Stand
- It’s Irish for “House”, so *Teach * Tadgh is Tadgh’s House and is a common way of naming pubs after the proprietor in Irish-speaking areas.
