RUDOLPH HUCKER IN DECENT EXPOSURE

[Rudolph Hucker 0]

After visiting THE FAT CAT PUB last night and sampling the fine ales and intoxicating atmosphere I was seduced into exposing myself to Fat Barman. It was very theraputic!

I realised I hadn''t been in a ''real'' friendly pub for years. The place was full of conversation and took me back to the days of the ale loving cricket team of my youth. The beer was excellent too.

I know Mr. Rankin has supped a half of shandy there so why not make this pub a place of pilgrimage for posters. It''s good neutral ground to meet at and say: ''Hello! I''m whoever.....''

Ah the Fat Cat... I used to live on Adelaide Street, just a minute''s

walk from it''s door.  Those were good times... I was supposed to

be going there last Friday, but apparently it was rammed to the rafters

so we went elsewhere.

I''d love to take you up on that offer, Rudolph, but today is the day I

leave this fair city for the smog of Manchester! But no doubt I''ll be

back at Christmas after months of student life, absolutely desperate

for a pint of decent beer... [:)]

Do you allow dogs in the pub FBM?  In that case I will venture down there ..............

[Rudolph Hucker 0]

Why not take Nelson too!?

[Fat Barman 0]

Dogs are often better behaved gazza! All we ask is they be kept on a lead and taken outside if they start barking - not too unreasonable. See you soon?

I can see a potential pitfall here. I go into the pub. Say to the bloke behind the bar "Hello Fat Barman" and its the wrong bloke.

Wrong track, Sheded!

Having said I haven''t been in a real pub for ages it is fair to say your local Kathy ''The Kings Arms, Reepham'' is a lovely pub that does an excellent sunday roast.

I lived there ''89-''91 & ''93-''95 no.196 & no.92.Fridays can be busy, Saturdays a bit of a lottery, the rest of the week is normally not uncomfortable. If you can visit during the daytime, you''re laughing! I can be found behind the bar Tueday-Friday 3pm till closing and Saturday midday till midnight - hence listening to radio commentary. I only make about 5 games each year, but I can hear a Neil Adam''s cliche coming from 2 minutes away!

Many a night has been spent enjoying a fine pint of Top Cat, and I thoroughly recommend it to this board.

I do answer to FatBarman - the other guys should know who you mean too! I''d tell you to ask for Chris, but we have three Chrisses (Chrises? Chris''s?) behind the bar. See earlier post for times of work.

I have been known to frequent the aforementioned establishment. I''m in the quiz league in the winter too which is a good laugh.

Fat Cat is a great pub.  Also check out the ''spin off'' which is called The Shed.  If you don''t know it, its situated on Sprowston Road and (i think) is a joint venture between the owners of the Fat Cat and the former Banham cider shed.  Nice place.

The strangest thing of all is; after imbibing a sample of Fat Cat Brews I went home and made passionate love to my wife for three hours whilst completing the Telegraph Crossword and ''tough'' Suduko puzzle; woke up at 5am, went for a two mile swim along the Wensum, ran the length of the Southern Bypass and got home in time to prepare a champagne breakfast for Mrs. H and me.

Tell me Barman, I know some brewers make unsubstantiated claims about the benefits of their products but is this a typical effect of a couple of pints of Top Cat?

Alcafrolics! The whole flamin'' lotta yeh!.........Drunken sots with big fat pitted red hooters - and multiple blown ruddy veins that look like the ''RAC road map of East Suffolk'' spread like spindly spiders legs around yer bloated jowelly cheeks - pudgy nicotine stained digits flickin ash from a cheap rizla rolled fag, with a few strands of cheap baccy contained within - an'' restin'' yer gout ridden feet on the bar foot rail - whilst your more than ample and gargantuan pimple covered lardy backsides, spill and cascade like oversized cheap beanbags over the barstool seat! Frequently breakin'' cabbage an'' sulpher flatulence - as you peruse the days racin form in a well thumbed tacky red top tabloid............You''re all evil an'' disgustin'' individuals - who have to frequent dens of iniquity to socialise with similar sad souls of your hopeless kind, all with traces of blood in your alcohol stream -  all mumblin'' and salivatin'' over the fag burnt and beer sodden bar -an'' communicatin'' in a coarse and vulgar ''pissedperanto'' pidgin ''English'' language - that only those destined for an unworthy an'' wasted liver transplant - and hopefully an eventual meeting with Lucifer will understand! Wasters! Losers! Pickled Sots! An'' yer all smell of nicotine an'' stale wee wee!

The only time I will enter such a disgusting and anti-social establishment - is to wave the ''War Cry'' in front of your piggy eyed and morose craggy faces! Repent! Repent!........Save yourselves! 

Anyway, mine''s a pint of ''Extra Extra industrial strength bleach'' with a triple blue meths chaser - that''s if anyone''s buyin''.......? Although I don''t think I would be welcome........as I am a bit.........Unkempt? Strange? Unusual? Eccentric?.........Ravin'' loonpants?[:|]

Oh, an'' a packet o'' porker scratchin''s for ''Harvey'',  who''s my 6 foot ''invisible'' (unless you drink meths) rabbit - and a very close and trusted personal associate.......Cheers! Salute! Chin! Chin! ;~)

Interestingly the Kings Arms Reepham has replaced the Old Brewery House Reepham as my local when I''m actually home visiting my parents who live in nearby.

I went to Reepham once..........and it was closed.[|-)]

Ah, The Fat Cat......a fine hostelry indeed. Run, if I''m not mistaken by one Mr Colin Keatley who was once the landlord of the Capital Canaries first pub, The New Savoy Tavern, Savoy St, WC2 ( between The Savoy and Waterloo Bridge ). But I digress.....

Rudolph Hucker may have exposed himself to Fat Barman but I have a most revealing black and white exposure of said Mr.Keatley myself. This circa 1975 photo features a resplendent Mr K posing in the doorway of his old pub complete with full head of hair, breathtaking flares and last but not least an upper lip crowned with a moustache very reminiscent of those that regularly appeared in trashy 70''s porn films. 

Unfortunately for the luckless Mr K I do not posses the negative for this Cert 18 shocker ( but I think I know a man who does ).

Information like that''s got to be a few polypins of " Best Anti-Gravity Bitter " don''t you think ?

I don''t see a pitfall at all Kathy, what you are saying is there might be TWO barmen in there.  Are you game for a stroll down there sometime soon    lol

Is Mello always propping up the bar in the Fat Cat FBM  er  Chris.....

[Fat Barman 0]

Not sure if Mello is a regular (or just irregular), he hasn''t made himself known to me. We do have a few who sound like possibles, but not quite the whole banana - Mello is unique! I answer to lots of names - one of my lot always calls me Brian, maybe ''cos of the snail-like way I serve him?
