    The Moorcock Inn

    Right y'are Folks! Back by popular demand (the burning out of my cheapo, Shanghai backstreet, rip off, back engineered, sonic screwdriver and a lick of fresh paint), I give you the new Old Moorcock Inn!





    The first drink is on the house and Wurlitzer jukebox selections are free (for tonight only).

    Phil the (Landlord) Android, is on loan to another Forum, for a few days, so service might seem a bit slacker than usual. The Management offers its apologies for any inconvenience.

      Certainly, Morgan Kane, coming up.

      And please let me pace this little bowl of extraspicy, Japanese effect, salt nibbles in front of you, at no extra cost.

            Ooh, you've redecorated. Hmm, I'm not sure the fin de siècle light fittings quite go with the faux-Kubrickian wallpaper but I like what you've done with the armchairs - very Wellesian.*

            Since the first drink's on the house, a bottle of Dom Pérignon '53 if you'd be so kind. :)

            _For another eternity Allard swam through seas without end, all green and cool and deep, where distorted creatures drifted, sometimes attacking him.
            _And then, at last, he had reached the real world – the world he had created, where he was God and could create or destroy whatever he wished.
            _He was supremely powerful. He told planets to destroy themselves, and they did. He created suns. Beautiful women flocked to be his. Of all men, he was the mightiest. Of all gods, he was the greatest."

              Hmmm. I like the outside very much. For now, I'll take this big, overstuffed chair to curl up in and take in the surroundings, and an Irish Coffee, please. It's only 11AM here I'm still a little groggy...

                There are a variety of bars, reflecting a variety of styles and epochs. There's even an excellent coffee shop.

                So, please, take your ease.

                  Outside is very nice, really. I like it, it remembers me the elizabethan architecture...

                    Now I have to find a picture I took of the oldest tavern in Paris when I was there... 21 years ago. I don't think it was open, or I would have gone inside... the magic of old buildings!

                          I'll take a pint of Shatner's best.

                          I hear tell its described as 'Like drinking the finest, most expensive bottle of wine, in the foulest, most disgusting public lavatory'.
                          Batman: It's a low neighborhood, full of rumpots. They're used to curious sights, which they attribute to alcoholic delusions.

                            Whew. In that case, I'll take a comfy armchair far away from the Shatner's be[a]st. :)

                            Not much of a drinker since I mislike the taste of alcohol, so I'll take a strawberry daiquiri. For me, it's kinda like having dessert....but with this curious effect on my sobriety, a bit hard to describe, wot's this, the ground is coming up to greet me, I wonder if it'll be friends with me--

                              Just a little OT sorry
                              I'd wish say the Madrigal Rose shots are great! Compliments!
