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?

Reset.



As a diver for near 30 years, I am loving this BEEB program.Journey to the Bottom Of The Ocean. But that gobshoite is presenting it. It's such a waste. Wondrous content and an apprentice Jeremy Clarkson - dick, presenting it.

For me, the Deep Blue is like travelling in Deep Space. Jacque Cousteau and Carl Sagan.
But this 2nd-hand car salesman?! Hammond. Dont think so.

BEEB. For shame!

Give me that long-haired, intuitive, intelligent - Scottish bhoy, who presents Coast. Perfect match.

I dived off Monterrey. Bottom drops away into an inner-space.

have had this playing in my head all day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahJ6Kh8klM4&ob=av2n

It's an anagram: WKD & ice = WicKeD. See?

Anyway, nos da.

Ah right ok i gets you! Yeah didn't put the joke down as a countdown just as pure terrible!

I have listened to them all. Thanks everyone. All good music.

Here's one back at you all:

Gibbo,

Just finishing up in work. Very wet. Calgary is still awesome though. Had an amazing steak in the Calgary Tower last night. Expensive, so of course you get what you pay for.

Rev. Where you are sounds fantastic man. Just got a wee bit Maud Lyn(Vera's sister) earlier. Grand now. Love you back, ya big balooba.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Love the place. Pretty west of Canada. Second time here, as I came here four years ago.

Keep smiling pal. The World is a better place when you're all mellow.

See you all later.

Elgar on acid. Superb.

Watching Cities of Gold episodes now (my housemates used to watch it as kids and i'm just the baby learning!!) Going offline so nos da all off to a gig tomorrow night but not drinking

I apologise for bringing politics into the pub, but Ed Balls is an absolute kumquat. Don't trust many politicians, but the ones that look down the camera rather than at the interviewer are decidedly dodgy. In other news I worked up a smoking tan today.

Just imagine how it feels having the tawt as your MP. Interesting that he's still banging the reduce VAT drum. It didn't work when Labour were in charge and got us in this situation.

Evening all!

Dia dhaoibh!

Guten Abend Jeder!

Noswaith dda Stag, you rascal.

Off to a gym. Hopefully wrangle a free pass for a week out of good nature. Need to train anyway, so I'll pay.

Really off now. Try not to miss me too much

Documentary about the fields of athenry on RTE folks.

Seems appropriate somehow... Well represented.

I've had Iris Robinson as an MPp; you've got to feel it doesn't get any lower than that.

Thing is, I could take your 'imagine how it feels having that Kumquat as your MP' and apply it to pretty much every mainstream politician in England.

That makes me glad I'm not English, and annoyed they make the laws for us.

Devolution max!

Can't wait for the rugby season. Was gonna buy a Munster season ticket but don't really have anyone to go with.

Will just buy on them as I need them probably.

Disagree about devolution Notch. There's still far far too much tribalism in Stormont, and I can't see that changing anytime soon. More powers heading here would be an unmitiged disaster at the moment IMO. Look at the footage of the riots and that burning car being aimed at the police. A small minority are a disgrace, that's the sort of thing you'd expect in Libya not here. We need looking after.

Are you having a go at me ?

They are eejits. But they are our eejits.

I just hate being ruled over from overseas tbh.

I'd seriously like to see Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland try and go their own way without the financial support of English taxpayers. I don't think it would be pretty, worse than Greece I suspect.

And I thought you woved me.

Evening all. I'll avoid the politics except to point out that I had Gerry Brownlee as my electorate MP back home. The only good thing about that is that he was no longer failing to teach woodwork to school boys at St Bedes. And now the **** is Minister in charge of rebuilding Chch

To top it off, winning player of the match is no fun when your team loses

Anyways, today is Roger Taylor's birthday. So here's one of his best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLFZzInXAWI

With respect to Scotland and Wales. Do you seriously think that Wales would have free prescriptions and that Scotland would have free university places if it wasn't for English taxpayers ?

Whatever nottins. I'm not getting into it.

I would like the policies enacted in Northern Ireland to be answerable to the NI electorate. That's all I'm saying.

As far as Scotland goes; they've got the oil. They'll do alright.

Outside territorial waters and owned by non-Scottish companies, so that's not a goer.

That was a great documentary. Really got me riled up. So much so that I shouldn't join this conversation!

Watching the clips of THAT game in Croker. Goosepimple stuff, even now.

I'll stop now. Sorry if my views offend people.

It's more the sheer tedium of your views than any inherent offensiveness

Scotland have the oil? England reaped the benefits. Thatcher saw to that. Welsh coal fed the Empire.

Paddies, Taffs and Jocks fought for it. But we're all grown up now aren't we?



Am I speaking out of turn here? Im sooo sorry if I am.



Where's Penfro?

Gibbo, the UK reaped the benefits of the oil and coal. I'm sure some English coal fed the Empire as well. Where's Portnoy ?

Notts, its not just your view. It's you. When you come in here - the level drops. You must know that by now man. You're not that stupid.



Go play English vs Welsh Wars with Welsh Lad Gareth.

Nothing to see here

Ah Gibbo man no need. Not your style at all pal.

The Lady in Red has spoken. Sorry Dreamer. Its just.... I hate a good thing being poisoned. I'll stop.



So...

Not his style and the wrong way to go about. Don't agree on the no need though.
