In the play 'Waiting For Godot' by Samuel Beckett, two tramps spend the entire play waiting for the arrival of Godot. For the past year the regulars of The Lamb Inn have been awaiting the return of Alan Isaac's alter ego, Homer. As many will know, the talkative little christmas decoration disappeared from his normal spot at the end of the bar nearest the toilets last christmas time and has not been seen since. In a message left on this blog earlier in the year, someone purporting to be Homer claimed that he was on a world tour and would be back at christmas, but the authenticity of the message has not been confirmed. It is said that a substantial reward will be given to anyone returning the little fellow but so far, to no avail.
It is reported that if Homer returns at christmas there will be street parties, wine will flow in the streets and ten naked virgins will dance down Fore Street although the chances of finding ten virgins in Silverton even for the return of Homer seem pretty remote. Whilst expectations of the second coming of Homer are rising daily, let us remember that in 'Waiting For Godot' Godot never actually appears. Lets hope that Homer, if it was indeed he, sticks to his word and is back for christmas.
