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 :

Are you posting this on the right thread ?

Yes. I didn't want to offend anybody.

ha at somepoint Willy I think you're going to guess this right!

Glas - why don't you think Byrne will go to the RWC?

Because Halfpenny can kick long range goals and Stoddart is a better counter attacker.

hmmmm. That sounds too logical for Gatland's thinking Glas to me.

4 new bookshops opening in Ireland What recession?

Don't be silly Nottins. 221 realistic target I think.

Oh look at that.

India got to be a tad disappointed, given that was nearly 100 runs for the last 2 wickets.

Ah I knew Broad and Swann would help England pull through, brilliant.

Can see India overcoming that total fairly easily though.

Can you make a logical case for Byrne? Even using Gatland's logic? I also think that Shane Williams (I can't believe I'm saying this) is number 30, he may even be 31.

Don't be silly Nottins. 221 realistic target I think.

That was a bit uncalled for. Don't pick on Nottins!

Nah, Shane's going, no way he won't make it, he's one of the first names there I reckon.

Byrne is the only "proper" full back. That's how Gats will see it I feel.

Personally I wouldn't take him, but I honestly can't see him not going.

Jimmy you beauty!!!


India 0-1,

Not a great start 0-1

I know nottins, it's super. India still have a very dangrous batting line up though.

At 17:30 it was posted that it was 0-1, I saw the post five minutes later so I decided to switch over and see what was going on.


THEY WERE STILL BOWLING THE SAME FRICKING OVER!!!! AT LEAST SEVEN MINUTES TO BOWL SIX BALLS, ARE THEY FOR SERIOUS??? IT'S BOGGLES MY MIND


I just don't get test cricket

Swanny's gone for a scan on his hand apparently. Doubtful he'll be bowling.

right I've been watching this for fifteen minutes, India have scored ONE that's right ONE run in 15 minutes

What a complete crock of shoite

that's because the English bowling is amazing at the moment Hughie. Brilliant to see.

In fairness I guess losing the first wicket so early will have shocked them. Plus the wicket is playing into the hands of the bowlers rather than batters.

Good evening Pub...just a flying visit on Mickado's lappy which has no J...anyhoo, enjoying myself so far immensly. I didn't get to hook up with my Oz pal cause I couldn't get onto Facebook to read her message on time. Good craic at the quiz last night, and was chuffed our team won I must've walked miles this morning around the city which was cool. Had to come back to the house to shower cause it's been boiling here despite the drizzly weather. Heading back into the city in a bit to meet my hosts.

Ta-ra for now

aye Willy, just heard them say that on the commentary. Hopefully Jimmy and Broad can do the job well enough without him.


Cari - glad you're having a good time!

Cracking days cricket at Trent Bridge. All set up for another tomorrow, England will need a couple of early wickets in the morning to keep things interesting.

Evening all.

Evening all. India on top in the test, despite losing a wicket. The weather looks to better for batting over the next few days.

Summer's coming, but c'mon Jimmy A!!!

In rugby news, I read that Gatland had the Wales squad out on the training field at 5am in Poland . Sorry, but what will that achieve?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14340470

Fact of the day.

Struggle today. Off to Edmonton. Last night madness in Calgary. Work was hard.

Hi all anyway. Just leaving a post to mark.

Howdy Rev.

Wasps barbecue at a mates place in Wycombe tomorrow. . Weather looking good and several barrels of already stiilaged on site.

I'm going to do some tikka chicken kebabs and steak, with or without sticky bbq sauce. Could be a good day.

Evening all!! Just cracked open the beer after gym and driving to bristol!! Best say good night now as it's going to be a long session

5am in Poland =match time in NZ,simple.

Oh to be in Wycombe(Bootlegger?)

Getting prepared for a 60+people birthday meal tomorrow evening(starts at 8 pm our time),no Tri N rugby in the morning,ducks to be de-livered,pigs to be triped etc

hope all is well in Dub,Cari;big kisses to the lads on my part.

Prop, take care,but there again, if you can find a soulmate to take care of you....

Anyway,off to truss a tomato,harass a haricot,confuse a cucumber and mystify 3 boxes of melons

Bisous

Enjoy prop.

Alright

Vandalise those varmint vegetables, why not

The 'legger will get a visit upon arrival tomorrow, rest assured

I don't think anyone will forget that Clermont shirt ...de brightest thing in the pub that day.

Just want to point out, this is a rugby board of you want to talk about test cricket you know where you can go

We'll just forget your Ireland talk during the World Cup will we Hugh?

Ireland U-19s in action against Spain in Euro semi finals. They are losing 4-0. A great acheivment in getting to the tournament,particularly with thier manager. I've only seen few minutes but Spain are a class apart.

In our own little corner of the bar. Ya know, the one opposite the GAA convo

I'm going to say that even though I've watched some 20/20,I had no focking clue what ye were on about,what's all this 0-1 craic?

0 runs, for the loss of 1 batsman

You up for the December Debacle, If it works, I'll do SUA/Sale(respect to Ferrasse ) then hit SWImgerland on Friday pm, be shepherded to at least 3 games,do the Xmas shopping, and fluck off home.

Be great to sup few Yellowhammers in the Culm

Ah right,that suddenly makes a lot more sense. Thanks Dreamer I still can't wrap my head around 5 day cricket,it's insane!

ha it is a bit Thom, but I still love it. Tis proper cricket to me

BTW, , have you done the Yew Tree/Culm,return trip in the dark, and in the DB Whatever.Attari started here, and it has never been bettered.

Mick,seeing as it's christmas shouldn't it be pluck off home? I'll get my coat

Now Thomond, if you notice my post it says "test cricket" which is a complete different game from 20/20, talk about 20/20 all Ye want but leave test cricket at the door thank you

Oh, yeah, back earlier than planned;burnt 3ks of onions whilst placing my stoooooooooopid fingers on a keyboard intsead of slowly adding herbs,spices,and honey.

May be able to pass it off as "WOW" treacle too fait with a glass of sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet grape joooooose

Apologies Hughie,sure it's all the same baiting a ball into the crowd.

YAYJOOODE(?)

This time next week it's gonna be

Man, Hound... I'm coming to live with you. Your beer & BBQ weekends are the biz!

As for de Chef, well... Its all legendary.

Prop, enjoy it mo chara.



Got some fantastic news today. Our closest friend in NL, had her womb removed last week. They discovered cancer. We were all quietly sheeting ourselves and were pretty down. Her hubby rang me earlier, to say that the Doc told him, that it had spread NOWHERE. They got it ALL. You can never be 100% sure but they are very confident they did. She will need monitoring and no chemo-treatment. So far.

Her hubby was in an awful state and we were minding him. Waiting on the possible dreadful news. Im so happy. We have been in bits for the last week or so - waiting on the operation and the results. Dymps is a lovely Cork Lady (my soul-sis) and is married to a Dutch man (Ben) - I love da bones of them. Our kids grew up together here. They took care of us when we came here 25 years ago. Helped us set up and showed us the Way. They are Family. And our Family is safe. Your health is your wealth...



Going up to see her tomorrow. She wants a can of Draught Guinness and my famous Mexican Casserole. FFS! She can bearly eat... the mad cow. Go Dympy! Hard as nails that one. The Gibson Team will kick in now. Nurse MrsG(for the girlie bits and care) and I'll do what Im told, to help out. Cooking, cleaning and shopping job. Hubby is in the middle of a serious contract (kids are 1000's of miles away) and he needs help for a while. With Pleasure - for Our Dympy. Deep Deep Joy... Boy!



Drinks on da House.

Hi all.

Gibbo,You know,we are soooooo happy,love to the missus, and may the force remain with you;all our love man
