The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:58 am

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?

Master of the Universe, starring Dolph Lundgren!

As Cari would say only four more sleeps to go!

It's eight minutes since you posted that question Chef

How long does it take them to google it and reply?

Sorry, but I can't help you - not really my area of expertise

Oh God yeah Chef. Used to be a time when Id shave every day praying for man-hair. Now, I use an industrial Black & Decker strimmer for my ears & nose-hair. I wont even mention arrse-hair. So glad I didnt. guinness

Make sure you ring 1/2 hour before you get there.

Hear Hear. That was the meet that kicked it all off. Penfro,Cari and Kia in de Diff after. Kias' scrumpy-cider set the tone for that game. I remember Portnoy lost his tickets when ye lot went in. We were saying a prayer over an inscribed-stone, laid down for his fav Uncle, who had not long shed his mortal coil. Tears were shed. It was a lovely moment. I also got to meet Tigers Amanda from the Ticket orafice. Gorgeous. Life eh?

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 01 Aug 2011, 10:52 pm

And we thought you missed the kick off because you at the bar Gibbo Wink

Leicester was grand, and so was Portnoy, even if he can come across as a cantankerous old sod on here sometimes. He was a gent that day, and Niamh still has the shirt to prove it.

by KiaRose Mon 01 Aug 2011, 10:56 pm

And I have a Leinster shirt ... from the big HEC meetup

Shall I ever wear it again?

Great meeting that one. Even though Portnoy got us lost going to the pub after the game laughing

He is a lovely Tigers gnome, Pete. I like him. Always did. No matter how much he winds up the rest of the Rugby World.

But of course you will, Kia. At Twickers dahling....

by KiaRose Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:01 pm

Is everyone in here all well - I haven't been around for a few weeks. I spent last week proof-reading a friend's FuD thesis. It has done my head in and I'm not quite finished yet, so haven't even been lurking.

I presume Cari enjoyed her w/e in Dublin.

by KiaRose Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:02 pm

Wasn't planning to go to twickers, Gibbo. Life is getting turned a bit upside down at the moment, no idea what I'll be doing next week, much less next May

You job-hunting?

Wasn't on that one. I was delayed overseas and made it back to Cardiff the following day. The try was from another one.

I don't need telling that people want to meet me, as it's a given. I am awesome and have more stories than Uncle Albert Wink

Anyway, I'm back in the UK. Just got to stay up now writing reports. Good job I'm jetlagged probably.

Stag, does your brother dislike Dragons as much as you?

by KiaRose Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:10 pm

2nd job: Lecturer in haridressing

1st question. No. I'd NEVER miss Leinster in the HC. Never have, never will.

2nd one - Yes. But, Ive been on this roundabout before.

3rd one - Yes. Belgium - hopefully to join the Great Ummm,

Evening all,

Shattered after a long day. Nice to spend time with the little cousin though. Learned some things about him.

by Gibson Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:54 pm

And he about you Munsty. Good stuff. It's spending the time with him that actually matters.He will remember it...

Unfortunately the most I can commit to is one of these Ale

I sometimes read on with a little bit of envy when you guys talk about meet-ups at the HC final or whatever, they sound like a great laugh. The thought of enjoying some great rugby (especially this year!) with some like-minded people and a few beers sounds quality. Thinking about the Heineken Cup final in Twickers this year, maybe I'll see some of you there!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Tue 02 Aug 2011, 5:55 am

Robbo, my bad too, altho I should've simply said 'and everyone else that I've not had te chane to meet yet' instead of trying o remember and be smart about it : doh: ah well, perhaps we can persuade you to hop on the train up to the big smoke for the London meet at the end of Sept? Ale

Usual for me pls? egg

- time for a quick chow down before a run and then work

by Gibson Tue 02 Aug 2011, 6:55 am

Robbo, dont mind im. I love you more... The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub - Page 5 1401235891

I'd forgotten that it had a young Courtney Cox in as well. Very cheesy film but a great way to chill out at the end of the day yesterday.

Morning all cuppa

Morning, Pete. Do you think it's wrong that I didn't feel terribly excited by the cricket yesterday? The whole thing seemed a bit anticlimactic.
