the Pug at the bar

         The Pug at the bar is looking for potential chefs. All those who fancy their cooking should nose on over to 'The Bent Arms' on Lindfield High Street for the 4pm 'Cook Off' on the last Sunday of every month.

Contestants are asked to make one dish – this will be pinned up at the bar one week in advanced and entry is FREE. Win the Trophy! Get your name on 'the Bent rolling pin' – and whoever comes last gets to pick the next 'Cook Off'' dish... (which for those with a twisted sense of humour, is the best prize of all).

Spectators get to try the dishes free of charge after the judges have finished – so if you like nibbling nosh in a warm bar on a wet Sunday afternoon, then this is the place for you.

Last month contestants made a Chocolate Roule with Raspberry comfit – and just to try and confuse the Judges a shop bought version was sneaked in (it came last):

Winners: 1^st Jerry, 2^nd Ursula, 3^rd David.

The Bent Arms is a dog friendly pub, but “dogs are not allowed in the restaurant”, which is precisely where they want to go. . .

So, sod the sunshine, come join us in the Bent on Sunday.

People can learn a lot from dogs, and at the '5 to 7 dog club' those well socialised puppies create a happy pack. Within this group there is no one pack leader, it fluctuates and changes moment to moment and it would be difficult to know which dog could play that role. Apparently, this is the way of things and ‘a long time ago' dogs did try to hold an ‘election’, to try to elect a dog to be their 'Leader', but it never worked out :

“I nominate the Bulldog as our Leader. He’s strong. He can fight,” said one scraggy little Terrier.

“But he can’t run,” said another dog. “what good is a fighter who can’t run? He won’t catch anybody.”

Then another dog got up and said: “I nominate the Greyhound, because he sure can run.”

But the other dogs cried: “Nawwww! He can run all right, but he can’t fight. When he catches up with someone, what happens then? He gets the hell beaten out of him, that’s what! So all he’s good for is running away.”

Then one very ugly little mutt jumped up and shouted: “I nominate that dog as Leader that smells good under his tail..!”

And immediately an equally ugly mutt jumped up and yelped: “I second that motion.”

At once all the dogs started sniffing underneath each other’s tails and a big chorus went up:

“Phew! He doesn’t smell good under his tail.”

“No, no, no... neither does this one.”

“This one sure ain’t no Leader material.”

“No, this one is no good either!”

“Pongo! This isn’t the people choice...”

“Wow! this sure ain’t my candidate!”
 

When you go out for a walk, just watch the dogs. They’re still sniffing under each other’s tails. They are looking for a good Leader, they’ve been looking since the start of time and they still haven’t found one.

The '5 to 7 dog club' is free to join and meets between 5 and 7pm on Lindfield Common most evenings – weather permitting. Please bring a dog, an acceptance of all within the group and a sense of humour.
