Quiz Help

[Samdy Gray]

It's a pub name quiz, all to do with pubs in Swindon and the surrounding area. Thought you alcoholics could help me  

The clues are all cryptic, I'm stuck on these:

- A happy sailor

- It's all ears

- Religiously made of thorns

- Our male football team

- A bouncer in a fortress

- It could drop a clanger

- Brown or multi-coloured swimmer

A pint goes to the most helpful person.
