A description for the snug

[stooz]

Hi, I don't know the history or purpose of the snug, but I would like to put a description above the door.
Could I have some suggestions please? maybe a poll could be created of the best?
Should it even be renamed ? is beerpig happy for us to use the name even?

[Clariman]

I didn't frequent it on TMF, so hard for me to comment. But for any new (non-TMF) user coming to the site, a more readily understandable name would make sense to me.

Be part of life's rich tapestry (taken partially from Beerpig's introductory post in his old gaff).

I'd like it to remain as Beerpig's Snug - I'm 99% certain the man himself has posted here a few times
It's like a real pub, but online. Chat about food, drink, sport, music, life in general - but without (hopefully) the bad-tempered exchanges found on more 'serious'/political forums.

Other than when you posted there then!

Something with a slightly wacky name can make places of interest. That's how I ended up at somewhere called The Motley Fool.

Change the description if you like, but please don't change the name.

Yes, leave the name but add a description if you want.
FYI the dictionary definition of a snug: a small, comfortable public room in a pub or inn. Seems pretty understandable to me.

The description from the Landlord himself when he opened The Snug on 23rd October 2007

Greetings fellow fools!

After several years of lurking on various fools boards (and making a nuisence of myself on one or two with o/t posts) TMF have kindly thrown me the keys to my very own place ie Beerpig's Snug!
Absolutely brilliant- especially as I spend several hours a day in a public house what better than to have my own place!
Hurrah!

'Beerpig's Snug' is situated under the dusty brick arches next to the railway station of a small Northern town. I couldn't believe it when the place came up - a real traditional 'snug' type boozer with frosted windows, wooden panelling and a coal fire going in the corner in front of which lies Domino our black labrador.
There's a game of darts going on behind me and several tables are rattling with dominoes. The racing is on TV in the corner and the bar serves three different types of bitter,(including Theakstons and Tetley) one house mild and one Austrailian larger.

We are a situated a long way from the City and no one here knows much about shares or financial matters other, perhaps than the price of a pint. That's right, the 'Snug' is just an old type of pub bar where its customers gather to have a really good drink and sing around the piano and to chat about vitally important topics such as sportsbetting music, horse racing, football, experiences of youth, friends, being crossed in love, adventures and anything and everything to do with lifes rich tapestry! It is also a bar where fools can air problems and ask for advice from the regulars and where smoking is permitted and getting roaring drunk is encouraged subject only to the usual TMF rules about bad taste and swearing too loudly!


Don't go changing the name, please.

Cheers
Slarti

How about "Beerpig's Snug - Light-hearted friendly social conversations - or is that too long?
It'll give newbies a good idea of what it is.

Is Beerpig here on LF? Does anyone know how to contact him? I guess that wording will be his copyright so think we should only use it with permission.

Beerpigs Snug says it all. I hate new landlords trying to be trendy and changing the Red Lion to the Slug and Lettuce etc. Next thing you know they'll only be serving lager, no traditional beer only fizzy, overpriced weasel p***. You'd better shift yourself that's Snorvey's seat that is.

Please don't change!

Snug reminds of snuggle (the frequented form of snug).

Etymology of snug:

1590s, "compact, trim" (of a ship), especially "protected from the weather," perhaps from a Scandinavian source such as Old Norse snoggr "short-haired," Old Swedish snygg, Old Danish snøg "neat, tidy," perhaps from PIE *kes- (1) "to scratch" (see xyster). Sense of "in a state of ease or comfort" first recorded 1620s. Meaning "fit closely" is first found 1838. Expression snug as a bug in a rug attested by 1769; earlier snug as a bee in a box (1706).

I don't think a name change is proposed - we're looking for a strapline*

I quite like that one, perhaps with "and music" ?

[stooz]

As long as n none objects then I'm happy to leave the name. Just a strap line then.. for the new folk to get the jist.
