Hi and welcome to this, the 242nd edition of Reilly's Pub
There are several reasons for choosing this as a theme for the Pub Mainly it arose from 2 discussions recently held in ther Pub. In one of them, Haylea said that we should have information available about the history and origins of Reilly's, for those who are new to the place.
Then, as I arrived here today, I caught the tail end of a discussion about what we could talk about in here.
So this Pub is dedicated to that purpose. It will be a guide to Reilly's for those who have recently joined the family, and a reminder of our heritage for those that have been around since the cave days of the Pub
Haylea has brought us up to date on which number Pub we have reached and she has also undertaken to delve deep into the archives and bring us an updated Numbers list (more of that later). This will be a major job though so we need to bear with her on this
Another reason for the title is that the number 42 is (according the The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy) the answer to the ultimate question of Life, The Universe and Everything It is now 33 years since the 'Guide' first appeared as a radio series in the UK, and is also the number of years our Lord spent on earth. All of which goes to show you can prove anything with numbers
However, I digress The next post in this thread will be our Constitution. After a couple of posts dedicated to numbers lists, I'll try and post some Pub history, which will (hopefully) help you understand what makes Reilly's the unique and amazing place it is
