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 :

Aye I've done the mile and and a half closing time walk from the Culm to YTH. Navigate along the road by the top of the 9' high hedgerows to keep from falling into a ditch. Meet several startled drivers en route as drunken men are caught unexpectedly in their headlights. Avoid being crushed against a stout tree by a Wisemans milk artic turning left.

It's grand stuff is that walk

Too quick on the finger there.
Gibbo I'm delighted for you, Mrs G and your friends. There is a God you know

Good stuff my Norrie compadre.

Gibbo that's great news about your famile, delighted to hear it

ah that's amazing news Gibbo, so glad your friend is going to be okay

Rev - hope work is less hard for you tomorrow!

Thanks regs. Sorry for blurting, but I had to tell me mates.

Haven't had a drink for a few days... may have one now. Nah, I'll stick to tae. Feel great.

So... who's goin to win the game tomorrow? I have NZ by 17, I think...

Well done Gibbo *firmhandshake*

That's me for today. Going to buy Zwartbles sheep for Miss G tomorrow. They're Dutch and all Gibbo, black with a White blaze, socks and tail tip. Something different so she can tell them apart from Tadcu's Texels.

Thanks of reminding me,norrie brother

You are picking up this predicting well my friend, I also have3 NZ by 17.

Think I went for NZ by 11, not too confident about that really.

Are Texel sheep that special Glas? Funny (peculiar - not haha) I spent the best weekend ever with said couple on Texel. It was 35 degrees and we could have been in the Carribean. No cars, just bikes. Bottles of beer, wine and bad attitudes. I think we near laffed ourselves to death. Glorious.

I am watching the final of the Milk Cup. Youth Football tournament that has been taking place in the North East for almost 30 years. Amazing thing is Manchester Utd youths (U16) are being tanked 4 - 0 by a team fromn Quatar.
Sign of the times.

Gibbo - unfreakingbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rava,I wonder how many of those players are actually from Qatar. Also ROI's team got tonked 5-0 in the Euro U-19 championships to Spain though to be fair.

Or was it Terschelling? It was... Senior moment. Cranberry sauce, Cranberry pate, Cranberry beer, Cranberry wine ...Cranberry feckin everything.

Think I've bothered people with this before,but played V loud, it doesn't hurt

There are more Texel rams used for breeding Butcher's lambs in the UK than any other breed. They can get to heavier weights without getting too fat, which is a problem for the native breeds, especially the females. The meat is lean and tasty.

Anyway Gibbo, I've put a photo on fookbase that may cheer you up.

Nos da.

.Aw sheesh, it takes so long to type stuff on this thing. Nice to hear some good news gibbo

Lost both my parents to de big C (feicen disease ). So many people now do so much good work in that field of medicine. Botham's walks to raise funds for Leukemia for example. Plus all the research done on the back of such funds.

Quatar... Football in 45 degrees? Air-conditioned stadiums... and feckloads of muny.



Hoi Staggy. Mr Rugby.

Lost my connection for a few minutes there. Hound I love you man . Wish I could spendf more time in your company.

Gibbo,I don't know how they're going to do it unless they put it on during the winter. Great to hear news like yours btw.

There was a TV show on Beefy the other night Hound. Showed all his ups and downs. And then - THAT walk. Great stuff. The Big C is not as scary as it used to be, even 10 years ago. So many advances. I lost a few to it too mo chara. Hate the very word... But we are fighting back. Get it diagnosed early and the Force is with you now.



Im breakin me bollix laffing at Miranda on the BEEB. She's great.

Milk Cup Final over Quatar beat Man Utd. 5-1. The rise of African/Middle Eastern Football continues.

Gibbo,I've seen it once or twice it's pretty good. The beeb make some great shows,it's a pity there are only 6 episodes a season compared to USA shows.

mine went the same way,but with the ususal complications;gotta stay together amongst ourselves, so we can talk and relate;Gibbo and Cariadwr got it together,WE are keeping it going.I think that between us, we'll go much further than those systems created to aid and spend ill earned money through charitable orgs.We are enough,already, to create a counter/pro idea force.Federation is the problem,age,racial and intellectual barriers should be non-existent for us.

Feik,Gibbo, get outta my head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky6Nn5DRILY

Fine words even if your choice in music doesn't match mine

Gibbo - the whole thing (the pub) has got way bigger than anyone thought. A big to eveyone for making it happen. A mutual thing occurs when we meet up in real life, despite some of the disagreements that can occur in here.

The Leinster v Sarries, and ACC/HC weekend in Cardiff, plus all the other major and mini meets are testimony to that from a personal perspective. The trust is amazing for an on line forum.

If Mick is still about then this is for his good lady and himself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfr6jmJOGA8. I committed to being with you next weekend and will be delighted to be there.

I should post here more often. But I don't and I can't understand why not.

Maybe someone could PM me.

Just did Portnoy

Gibbo, that is a wonderful story. The happiest times are when we snatch joy from the jaws of despair. Much love

I also very much appreciated your kind text a few days ago.

Ye should all come to Belfast in September- go to Ulster vs Cardiff and then watch Ireland vs Australia the next day in Standulstermans pub. Now that would be some craic, eh?

Looks like you chased everyone away again Notch

Rava, I was thinking more of;

Very good Notch
I'm watching Mumford & Sons on BBC4. A rerun of their Glastonbury gig.

Evening people,

Gibbo, big in lieu of a real one in a few days time. So pleased to hear you've had some good news. Strength and positive thoughts for your friend, she sounds a strong lady, I know you'll both do all you can to supplement that strength. We can't control what happens but maybe, just maybe, we can influence it.

Cleared the place again Rava? All the cool kids are out consuming copious amounts of alcohol to celebrate the fact it's the weekend. Boom!

Mick(TEFC) wrote: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.

Hound and I did the trip back from the Yew Tree with As, had to dodge a huge milk lorry at early O'clock. I was picked up from the station in the David Brown 7

Great to hear the good news Gibbo.

Hello all,

Really tired. Just back from Birr after seeing my grandparents, an old friend who I haven't seen in nearly 2 years and my aunt. Had a really good time with my granddad in particular whose family I learned a lot more about an himself and his work.

Munsty. Hope you've enough energy for tomorrow. Night out is order of business.

Gibbo, good to hear the doctors report - wishing Dymps a full recovery.

nottins - read back (if you haven't done so) re the walk back from the CVI. A novel experience that was. Calmed down by a few single malts upon making it back as I (hazily) recall.

3 real ciders and at least 6 local ales on offer in Asbo's local. A true gem of a village pub. All too many of which are being lost around the country.

A wee rant that last bit, but heartfelt. Heritage - keep as much of it as we can, while we still can

Rava Hows about ya!

Just home to find assassins on the box. Well that be the next hour sorted. Let's watch sly and antonio shoot 7 shades of shoite out of one another.

BBC 3's contribution to a standard friday night? the Geordie finishing school for girls.

Makes one yearn for the days when the tea party take control of the US and implement a worldwide policy of selective breeding.
