The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the virtual rugby pub - a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

I have done Thomond. Come up to Limerick though and I think you'll find you have some serious competition.

Some of our boys should consider a calendar girls/stade francais tribute calendar for charity. Might be worth advertising with a few of these photos to give the xx chromosome population a bit of a boost at Ravenhill next season.

Yeah if Connacht can do one...so should you!

Also had caviar at that meal. Think the whole meal cost around €700.

That is some Surf n Turf

I used to order my steaks well done because that's how my dad had his. But now I'm a medium-rare man. Just so much more succulent...

These ham and mustard sandwiches are quite disappointing now.

Yeh, I have somewhat spoiled my own lunch as well Luck... we should have been talking about this at dinner time instead.

although since I have band I will be having super quick hot dogs.

I've moved on from well done to medium Lucky, but think that's as far as I can go!

ah man I want the day to speed up so I can go home and set up my new laptop, going to be busy for a while trying to transfer everything over to it from my old one.

What kind of laptop is it, Dreamer?

How are you going to move it all over ?

I've been a medium rare man for years. I was in NZ a few years back and one of the women on the tour was saying she'd had her steak well done the night before. I asked her to try it medium rare. A couple of days alter she did have it medium rare and said she was now converted.

erm, tis a make called Compaq. Couldn't tell you much more then that!

I got really fed up with searching for one, and this one looks decent, had good reviews from customers and was on sale so I bought it. Used the same method of choosing to purchase my old laptop and that's served me well for 6 years so fingers crossed this one does too

Nottins - cd mostly I guess, got loads of my writing saved to disk already so will do it that way. To be fair I've got a load of rubbish on my old lap top that I probably won't move over, it shall be a nice cleansing exercise.

My netbook's a Compaq and I love it!

I shall take that as a good sign then Lucky!

Far quicker to do it via your network. On your old laptop, double click on my computer, right click on your C: drive and then properties, click on the Sharing tab and tick the "share this folder on the nework" box and give it a name (eg. oldlaptop_c) in the box below, then OK everything. On the new laptop click on Network and you should see you old laptop listed along with the shared c: drive. Then just copy and paste files as you would locally. If you have more than one partition on your laptop then just share them as described for your c: drive, but with different names.

Blydi techies. Give me livestock any day.








Cue:

....

I may, or may not attempt that. Me and techonology don't really go that well together so I don't want to risk accidently deleting everything off my hard drive (I've done that before, and my cousin who is brilliant with computers could never figure out how I did it). Doing it by CD or something might be a safer option for me.

I'm fine with my fliptop as long as it works. If it started to play up I wouln't have a clue where to start.

If you just use CTRL-C to copy instead of CTRL-X (cut) and then CTRL-V to paste , then you won't delete anything. Also, both laptops will ask if you are going to delete things.

Meuh,Glas<vache>


Back from the cardiologist,having passed by the cash and carry to pick up 100 litres of beer for in a fortnight's time,and also a third marquee(it hasn't stopped raining here since Kia and Mell left https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-lUBlbJkrQ)

Anyway, I don't know if the doc has taken a dislike to me, but he doesn't want to see me til next year

I may have to do a cardio-rehab session for 3 weeks, but that's up to my GP(who will be at The Bash) to decide.

Nice one Mick!

CD's don't hold that much Dreamer, you may be better off with a memory stick. Do you know how many MB's you want to copy/transfer ?

- brilliant news

Good news, Chef!

Glad you don't have to go back to that doc for another year Mick!

and 100 litres of beer? (and they really need an envy/jealous emoticon on here!)

Nottins - yeah you say that but laptops always spring surprises on me, I don't trust them at all.

Penfro - not too sure really, just going to pick and choose. Tis whether I want to keep all of my Uni work or not. I've got a while to decide though, not going to be getting rid of my old laptop straight away anyway

dreamer,
Being a techno know no, can't you just keep all your uni stuff on your old/outdated/saturated laptop, in a hermetically sealed plastic bag?

100 litres is the draught stuff,there will probably be a few bottles;and then there's the rest.....

'Sticks' are relative inexpensive (plus you've got another form of backup) 8GB for just over £20, let me know if you want me to have a 'butchers' at your lap top to check for you

Also, PM'd you. Was I a naughty boy

Mick - I may very well just do that. Might need some of it for future use though, so going to be a job of just choosing with documents I want moved over


And I so wish I was going to France this year Next year for sure!

Penfro - I've replied and ha! yes you were a bit

Bloody hell Pete, you're paying well over the top for your computer hardware. I got a SanDisk 8GB USB stick for less than £15 around 2 years ago.

Here's a 16GB one: http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=108312

I get them on-line too Notts, but I was just quoting a price from a local shop, for local peple like . Plus I think Dreamer may be reluctant to use the ‘specialist sites’ you use

Just watched "When You're Strange";I was never a morrisonmyth fan, but loved the Doors;amazing to see all this old film footage,where do they get it all from?I always thought that those sort of events were in the collective conscience, but had never been put on film<yikes> I may see ME in one of these things in the future

That's brilliant news about the aul ticker mate

100litres of beer is equally brilliant news

Don't worry about the cardio rehab, Asbo and Hughie are planning to bring a rugby ball. That should do the trick

That's a documentary then is it, Chef? I might have to look around for that.

Hi everyone. Whats new. Hilariously at work today a customer thought my second name had O' in front of it saying "I thought all Irish people second name started with O"

was he an americano stag??

Well I suppose Red O'Stag does have more of an Irish ring to it......

O'Stag, Ulster are at home the weekend of the Australia match if you're still thinking of organising a meet that weekend

Versus Cardiff.

Yes, Cardiff Blues. As they still call themselves! That would be great craic actually, if we can persuade any other posters to join us! An open invitation extended.

What time you home tonight Stag?

I'll be in town around 6pm. Getting bus straight out home then. Free as a bird then. I still have your World Cup game.

I'll pick you up in town. Where do you get dropped off?

Usually around Jurys Inn.

I won’t go unless I’m invited specifically.

Could be a runner though lads. What was the plan, off to Standulsterman’s pub for the game?

Here's the info

Stag,

I'll collect you then so.


I'd like to come to that meet but I'll only be arriving back into England the day before from Turkey.



Anyone else noted that Ireland's game against Scotland is only 12 days away?

Rava, is ging to have a look at the email I sent him and then we should have an idea as to whether or not the Ulster v Ospreylia mini-meet is a runner
