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?

Great to hear you had a good trip,no more Cads for the summer though I'm still pretty upset

I have an interesting topic of debate for the evening for you all (good evening by the way!)

Out of the posters on here, who you havent met, who would you like to meet up with for a beer? Top 4 please!

Mine would be:

1. Rugby Dreamer
2. Red Stag
3. Kiwi
4. GreyGh......only joking......Thomond

(please dont take offence if not included - I would like to meet you all!)

Wow,I'm shocked. I promised myself I wouldn't cry. Don't red the comment I posted after KB's on your pledge thread,you will be disappointed.

On ESPN Classic now. England v Soth Africa RWC 2003

I am used to being called a bum after people meet me. So your premptive strike only softens the blow should we meet.

Hobo, sounds a bit too like a 'who are your favourite poster' questions that we got with far too much regularity on v1!! And I never used to feature in any of them, so I'm definitely not playing! Anyhow, i count myself lucky to have met nearly all - only Thom, Stand, Willy, Lucky, Glas, Rev, Cariadwr & Prop to go, I think? There's plenty that don't post in here too that I'd happily supp a pint with

I've had the pleasure of meeting most of the Irish regs in person... and Asbo

I would like to meet some of the Welsh guys; dreamer, Glas, Cari, Penfro. Oh and Kiwi and Hobo... don't want to cop a ban now do I!

Marking fluid

Could start a good bonfire with all this tumbleweed!

Rava - no Tommy unfortunately, but we did leave at the terminal where I met him before, so if he did appear, that would've really freaked me out!

Evening all

Hope everyone is well. No real surprises for me in the players released by England today, interested to see the side selected for Saturday now.

Great win for England in the cricket. This is certainly the best England cricket since I started watching them in the mid 80's.

In other news, here is a YouTube clip of somebody that I work with. Would love to show it to the politicians who sit on the a r s e s in the House of Commons all day deciding that we get paid too much and that we should pay more than the 11% pension contribution that we already do...

Comiserations Thomond. Looked like a cracking match from my seat in the pub...Mr C looked particularly scheksy in HD... Still, not the result we expected and one you'd wanted. I missed the Kerry match earlier as I was wandering about.

HOBO - to answer your question mine would be Asbo, Notch, Thomond, PCPete and MrsP (who lurks I bet )...

Hobo you are definately top of my list

Like As, I have had the great pleasure in meeting most of the regs. Some several times and some will be friends for life. I would hope to meet Willie, Rodders and Stand at some time this season. They are Ulster regs so that should be fairly easy.

Thommond I would love to meet you mate, being a fellow lover of Leeds Utd

Then the one person who I really admire and am dying to meet is LDC Pete. He and I have been communicating for quite a while and both are disappointed Ulster and LI couldn't get it on this year. But our day will come.

I hope I haven't offended anyone by leaving them out - apologies if I have

Flipping hek, Pete, how did he survive that, never mind chase after the moron?

Of those I haven't encountered,it would have to be all;as yet, not a single bad 'friend' although subjectivity does get personal.

Would have been great if a few more of you had cashed in your smile miles, but it looks like at least 11 regs at the Bash(the count is 62 others,with non 606ers from last year atm).The Heat Pit will be given to the newcomers,Kiwi and Hughie,but it''ll be less of a problem than last year(ask Penfro)

Don't forget, the first Sunday in August,and as many days before and after,space is free, food good ,drink plentiful,water scarce:(

Cari,the highlight of the Kerry game was this goal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8ymsQwl20M

Pete,fair dues to that Cop,he was lucky to survive.

AsLongAsBut100ofUs wrote:Flipping hek, Pete, how did he survive that, never mind chase after the moron?

I'm amazed that he got up from that hit.

I hope the caught driver "fell over" a few times.

Someone I used to work with and brother to one of the Leeds fans murdered in Turkey told me about the time his Dad found and apprehended a burglar in his house. He rang the Police to say he'd been burgled but had caught him, but they had better hurry up. The officer asked, "Why ?" To which he replied, "He keeps falling down the stairs"

Being the social tart that I am, I have met everyone from the old 606 Pub and in here... Except Thom and Ona. Really like to meet them. Even if they are from Cork. Im not proud. Breaker would be great craic to meet, Id imagine. We share the same sick sense of humour. And Willy for the same reason...

Few guys outside this Pub Id like to meet and a far better and safer game:

KINGKENNY (RL man)

Cymroglan (Know him online for years)

PJHolyBloke (love his sense of humour)

Hobo (cos he does high-quality training at a very affordable price). Nah, just to say thanks for all this. Where would we be?



Probably a few more, but I'm senile and cant remember. Who are you anyway? Who am I? Why are we here? What goin on FFS ?



I have edited this 4 times.. no more.

Did Penfro do any digging last year, Mick ? I remember him in more of a supervisory/project manager capacity, with Sharpie and me doing the heavy lifting?!

Rava, it will happen my friend, for sure, as Gibbo would say, believe.

AsLongAsBut100ofUs wrote:Flipping hek, Pete, how did he survive that, never mind chase after the moron?

Not just chase, but catch him. No idea, he was battered and bruised but somehow managed to not break anything.


To answer Hobo's question, in no particular order I would like to meet Rava, Stag, Cari, Dreamer and MrsP (although she does not post here). I'd love to meet everyone really, and who knows,hopefully at some point in the future will.

What's the old saying, "there are no such things as strangers, just friends we haven't met yet."

Leave your problems with the missus out of this place

Pete - none of our public services are appreciated as much as they should be, and that video is just one example of many individuals who go above and beyond in their jobs. The only time any public servants get recognition is done so negatively - such as now with regards to their jobs and pensions. Only the most senior civil servants in the public sector get a lot of money for doing very little, but that's not how it's portrayed in the media....I could go on about this all night, but I won't in here.

Thomond - good goal that.

Asbo,I must admitt that I was involved in other logistical affairs,and the only proof I possess is a photo of the Pembro leaning on a spade and quaffing a beer I have calculated that the centre of the pit will be 15 paces from the beer tap.Motivation? Perhaps

He finished it well alright,could be out of the semi though he picked up a knock.

Ah, i know Cari, and the thing is, I don't want recognition and I don't really want any more money and neither do my colleagues, I just want to be left to get on and do my job and not have to worry about whether in the financial year 1012-13 I will actually take home less in my pay packet than I do whilst the cost of living will have risen.

You are right though, this is not the place for such discussions.

Rugby, rugby, rugby, rugby, rugby.

Roll on the weekend and some Anglo-Welsh wummery on the main board!

That's a big fat lie. I told you I wanted you from the off. That Celtic spark. Springtime in Leicester. Long nights in the Dam talkin bollox. You just dont care do you? Test. What was I wearing the 1st night we met?



See? I told you. I HATE men!

Pete - ha yeah! We've got that wummery to look forward to this weekend. I wonder who'll get banned first...

Mick and Asbo

Given that I have well in excess of 30 years supervisory experience in the Construction Industry, if there are any lazy barsteward jobs going then I need to put my name down. Watching Kiwi and Hughie digging and then critisising them would be a pleasure

Surely you'd have to carry out a risk assessment and make sure they are carrying out safe working practices ?

Oh sheet Chef. Elf & Safety Officer is on his way. I hope the electrics are safe this year. And the pit is safe for our Hugbert. Dont want the boy falling in like.



Love you Rav.

Pete

Nottins, I'm actually brushing up on the French equivalent of the Health and Safety Act 1974 as we speak

Oh roysh Pete mate. Its all coming back now... He's an animal is that As. He ruined me for other men.

What's going on now?? What am I digging and not trying to fall into??

Hughie, all will be revealed in the first Bush Tucker Trial

So Chef can cook Kangaroo testicle?

I know what you mean Gibbo, last time I went out with him he turned up in a skirt!!!

I've a doctors note, don't know what for yet. But I promise you whatever it is I've a doctors note for it!!!

I'm a bit dubious about 'ealth and safety people tonight. I got home and saw my flatmate for the 1st time in 10 days (she spent the last week on holiday in Scotland, while I was in Rome prior). She was driving her work car down the M4 last Friday and ran into the back of someone - hardly good work practice


I've met an awful lot of 606ers now (though not as many as Gibbo, then again I'm half his age ). Can't say i regret meeting any of them either (though when Hound, Hughie and Asbo rang me after the SXV final I came close ).

Nice one Kiwi

To put everybodies mind, and libido, to rest, my mate Phil has fixed us with an electronitical system big enuff to dry plums.The only NON problem this years is the sparks.Cependant, could be thundery on Friday, cloudy but dry, 25+ for the weekend, bring a change of shorts

I don't think there is anyone on here I've not met, apart from the already mentioned by gibbo,

But that's only because I'm a Prostitute, well according to Rava anyway

The Cardiff meet was awesome but I regret not being able to spend time with a lot of the people who were there. Just too many and so little time. Great day though, the sun shone

Hughie, behave. You're mine for the weekend though!! Mates rates of course

Got a hornet's nest in the chimney,but have the EXTERMINATOR in tomorrow.

Hope he kills them organically, can make up some yummy skewers

Serious question,for those of the male species concerned.
When you get towards a certain age,let's say 60, have you ever noticed an abundant or increased pilosity?
