Very well, I'll accept that baton but keep with the pub theme.

The 'Halal Inn' is a pub in Oldham

Britain has its first booze free Islamic pub. The Halal Inn, formerly the Westwood Inn in Oldham, has a juice bar, snooker tables and darts board - along with a prayer room and a steam room.

(I wish them all the best, but I'll stick to the beer thanks.)

Right that was going to be the question, but I can't find any record of any Halal Inn on Yell or Google, so we'll assume that was a joke or a failed business venture and find another question, still sticking with the pub theme.

OK here we go, Shove Ha'penny, you wouldn't imagine it's a particularly high octane sport, but believe it or not petrol can and does have an application for this old pub game. The question is, just what is petrol used for in Shove Ha'penny?

I've got Seoul but I'm not a soldier, sorry yes, reference to the Olympics, not a Killers song, back on track please JG.

I've got ham, but I'm not a hamster.

Yes it could be used for that purpose in the Beirut version of Shove Ha'penny but I'm looking for a less violent porpoise.

Don't think it is petrol, but they used to oil the boards like they do with cricket bats.

i used to play a lot of shove ha'penny (seriously) in between sessions on my grandads bagatelle and master classes in cribbage ,gin rummy,newmarket and trumps.
i've never heard of petrol being used... or oil

mr sheen used to do a lovely job.

Hmm, my memory is probably wrong. Maybe it was a bit of Mr Sheen.

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 9:49 am

could it be used in polishing the coins?

failing that, how about (ahem) getting tanked up while you play.

How about in cars so that contestants can get to competitions?
