Which Came First

The Flea visited the Pillars of Hercules pub in Soho yesterday accompanied by his friends Learo and Robbierto. They went to pay homage to the Mad DJ - actually he's really called DJ Wheeliebag, but he is most definitely a bit mad. He plays every Wednesday in this establishment where he wheels in his home-made contraption which cleverly combines storage space for his records and a built-in turntable, not to mention the lights and the hover-board dolls (must be seen to be believed).

A true entertainer, he plays great obscure old tunes giving each a brief introduction with an interesting fact or two, which makes for a different evening out. The fun doesn't stop there as he runs a couple of quizzes each night and an alternative bingo game with totally random prizes up for grabs, courtesy of some one pound charity shop he frequents. However, don't let the fact that their fiscal value is only one pound put you off as these prizes tend to be quite special.

Last night the boys missed out on the quizzes having come joint top, but submitting their sheet after the winners had got theirs in first (who chose the coveted magnetic fish aquarium prize). However, the bingo game proved more successful and Robbierto went up to claim the philosophical prize. So, what was this thought-provoking prize??? Well, it was a wooden box containing a chicken family comprising father cockerel, mother hen and baby egg, which obviously prompts the age-old chicken/egg conundrum of which came first.
