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?


FYI, the last pub was :

Bob Geldof on Top Gear is very amusing

Ah cider festival followed by punk gig fun!!

Sounds good Prop.

What time's your flight Cari;d'ye get to pass a long first day in Dub?

Cari I'm confused, why aren't you going to the games on Sunday??? Isn't that why your going to Ireland

My flight's not til half four. So I won't be doing much in the evening just heading to the pub quiz

Hughie - it was one of the reasons, but the Dubs aren't playing because they were drawn for next week. I'm going to do the tour of Croker though as they're still doing them this weekend.

Cari,how many more times will you get to see a match live in Croker? It is a rare opportunity,you should go!

Makes no sense to me, your headed over for the football, who knows when you'll get the opportunity to do it again??

Sounds good , keep an eye out for DPD.

Just spent the last half hour or so reading back all those jokes. Some really good one's but some not so really good one's as well .... Penfro!!

Missed the papers this morning. I don't know if I told you but my nephew recently represented Great Britain Under 12 roller hockey team that took part in the American Athletic Junior Olympics. There is a wee piece in the Ballymoney Times, if anyone is interested.

The June referred to is my sister.

Cari, I see you are Dublin bound tomorrow. Sorry I won't make the trip to see you. I hope you have a great time. Oh, and I can recommend the full Irish at chez Mickado. Make sure he includes the sausages though.

I was heading to see the Dubs not just any match. I would've gone to the hurling if the Dubs were playing it this weekend. I chose this weekend because the football team were most likely to get through which they did but the draw just didn't work out. I'll still enjoy my trip, and I will get to see the Dubs one day, just not this Sunday.

Cheers Rava Well done to your nephew too.

I'll second that!! Get the tickets sorted as soon as you get there.

There's football on anyway though and the prices aren't that bad! Enjoy the trip anyway,the tour is supposed to be great.

+1 Is that the correct protocol ?

I've heard it's great fun Thom. Should be a laugh

Nottins +1 is correct although I find it kind of annoying.

Thomond wrote:Nottins +1 is correct although I find it kind of annoying.

Seems everything I do annoys people

TBH I find it annoying as well.

I too think Cari should get a ticket and enjoy the experience. I believe that's the more recognised protocol

Jokes - a dyslexic man walks into a bra...

Other news....I read in the DT that it is the Welsh Eisteiddfod tomorrow. Given it's in Wrexham this year, I doubt many (if any) regs will be in attendance. But if you do go, enjoy. Culture should be part of all of us. I'm so glad that I invested in books about my local area when I moved here. OK it's not a national thing, but I like to have an appreciation of what makes a place what it is.

Nottins,you're grand.

Did someone drop in? Rev,I'll just ignore you like everyone else

Well spotted The Eisteddfod is a great event. There's lots of things going on besides the events in the Maes (the main stage).

Asbo, you dummy. Dragons are going to give you a right tonking.

Thom, that's fine. I am getting used to it

HELLO RISCA WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

Rev ya big hairy bollix, how are you?? Canada treating you ok??

Thanks

Who's this Rev bloke, did he say something ?

He's some annoying soldier,that's all I know Nottins. Cari,inthe words of Mrs.Doyle, Go on! You only live once and Cadogan will be there!

Some Annoying Soldier ?

When I had the interview for Woolworths they asked if I had any planned holidays, I told them I had a 6 week holiday planned in New Zealand the following year and they still employed me and allowed me the time off.

How long did they last after giving you the job?

Me or Chef ? Woolworths weren't founded until 1909. Gibbo or As could have worked for them back then though :-)

To be honest I expected the pedantry to relate to the date of the tour.

Anyway

How do you get two whales in a mini

- over the Severn Bridge.

Errm ? I'm a bottle in, so you're not making much sense

How do you get four elephants in a mini?

- two in the front and two in the back.

Time to vamoose folks (not that I've posted much recently). Enjoy what's left of your evening.

Keep the faith!



Nos whatsits

Glas, those jokes are older than you!

Giggling.

What did the elephant say to the naked man?

- how do you drink through that?

Nite Pub.

Played 9 holes of golf this morning in the baking heat and was thoroughly greased up with sun cream. Played football for an hour this evening in the bucketing rain and got drenched. Gotta love this country.

Cari,

Go to the football. It's not just about going to see teams you support. It's the whole event. Croker is an amazing place to see the GAA. Just do it.

I'm in Dublin now. Five minutes off the bus and I ended up in a long conversation with a very, very drunk man lasting at least an hour. Definitely Dublin then.

Night all

Going to watch Glammy play today courtesy of the Bank. I am to cricket what the prawn sandwiches lot are to the Premiership or the pink cowboy hat brigade are to rugby (well internationals anyway). I feel dirty. I will be sad as I tuck in to the buffet and quaff the complementary wine. It'll have to be done though, no matter how difficult, I hate waste. It's odd, the more I owe them the more fuss the bank seem to make of me.

Bore da pawb

I've just seen Aled Brew walking down my road wheeling a pushchair. Awh!

Enjoy the cricket Glas...should stay dry for it.

Aye, hopefully. I love St Helens. It has character.

Luckless, PM for thou
