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?

Thom - na, I'll keep it to myself

Just been going through the world cup fixtures trying to work out when I need leave. I'll miss a few of the pool matches unfortunately because they're on during the week and I just wouldn't get that much time off, but hopefully I'll see the bulk of them. I notice a couple of Saturdays where I'll be up all night as well

I need to check which games I'm going to miss. I know I'll be on holiday for Wales v South Africa.

I'm sure you can find a telly with it on in a bar when you're away Lucky.

OH WAIT! We can't discuss rugby in here anymore didn't you know? There's a dictatorship going on apparently...

I hope so, Cari!

Ah yeah, they'll get it somehow. It's a global tournament

LOOK !! Can you all please stop talking about blydi Rugby in here. Anymore and I'll have to report you to Sauron, Dark Lord of Mordor, err Portnoy

Is it OK to talk golf, hurling and cricket though?

Jaysus Cari - don't you know the Eye of Sauron misses nothing

Ospreys,Treviso, Aironi, Leinster, Munster, Blues, Scarlets, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Connacht, Ulster, Dragons - it's almost RABO-time !!

Hound , spent my weekend days out in the garden (raking in the meadow grass) and garage (new workbench constructed), but treated myself in the evenings to the Blackdown Beer Festival - fantastic, good bands, excellent selection of & - Yellowhammer and Branoc are still personal favourites - don't think we'll ever get Hoogues away from the Butcombe tho, he seems addicted

Ha speaking of Rab - oor own Rab Nesbit has walked in...and is totally ON TOPIC!!!

It's all in the vest, Cariadwr!

Asbo - what's that? your beer gut? So I heard...

Is Wales v Namibia worth booking a day off for?

- tried to look at that link ASBO. I get "The category of Alcohol has been blocked by your System Administrator" Do they think I'm going to drink the damn stuff through my monitor or something

Interestingly, it doesn't block this site - LINK

Cari - it kicks off at 07:30 on Monday 26th, so no need to take a day off. You're normally in work by then so you'll have no problems waking up. Meet up with Dreamer for brekkie in a 'Spoons and then get to work about 09:30 - seemples

Just had scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon for breakfast, is that pubby enough ?

Went to see my Dad on Friday, he was in an infection isolation room, but came out of that yesterday. First time I've worn latex gloves and a pinny. He had skin from down the right side of his chest grafted over his left shin after they'd grafted some bone taken from his pelvis into his tibia. He's hoping to be out this week. And then back in sometime in September to work on his hip.

Good idea Penfro!

Suggests it must be a quality control, Penfro?!

Feck nottins that sounds nasty. Whats up with him?

Your breakfast sounded nice though.

Hey where the flip is stag these days? It would be good to get his take on the Ireland game.

RODDERS - Staggy is currently in Malaga on his hols

Ha ha ok Cari thought it was weird he hasn't been around. Lucky for some .

I'm off to the South of France on Thursday but to be honest I'd rather watch the next two Ireland warm ups. Raging I'll miss them ...

roddersm wrote:Feck nottins that sounds nasty. Whats up with him?

He had a bit of an accident over two years ago: Link

roddersm wrote:Your breakfast sounded nice though.

It wasn't bad. Washed down with Earl Grey. Hot

There are worse places to rage than the south of France, Rodders! In any case, surely they'll be showing the return match on French TV?

Feck nottins that sounds bad. He must be due a bit of luck now though.

Rodders - I bet there's an Irish pub somewhere near you that'll have the games on!

Yeah there are, can't complain I suppose. I'll be away from the beaten track so I'm not sure if I'll get a bar to show it. Fingers crossed I will though because I really don't want to miss it .

There's probably an Irish pub in outer Mongolia even!

How the heck did you know that, here it is in downtown Ulaanbatuur!! Jeez, they get everywhere!!

Cari wrote:There's probably an Irish pub in outer Mongolia even!

Yeah but the Guinness isn't the best there I heard .

There's only a couple of cafe bar places and a few Hotels in the village I'll be in but hopefully somewhere will show it if I ask.

Asbo - Indeed they get everywhere. I hear that's why they're trying to find out if people can live on Mars...

Rodders, if you can't watch the match, get a brush, pretend it's a microphone and imagine you're commentating on it. Everyone's a winner. Er, except you, of course.

Yay ticket for the Pirates game sat has turned up! Off to the doctors later too seeing as I can hardly stand up straight...fingers crossed i'll be ok to play thurs!!

All the best at the quacks Prop. Hopefully you'll just need a little bit of physio or something

I was in an Irish bar in Katmandhu once. It was a strange experience. I remember we tried to blag free drinks because we were Irish. It was called Paddy O'Shea's (or something like that) and we kept winding the Nepalise bar man up by asking him where Paddy was and he kept saying "aw he's in the back" .....

It's not that funny a story I suppose but we were only 18/19 so it seemed hilarious at the time....

I'd rather he says just go swimming! Can't cope missing anymore rugby after my injury and ban start of this year!

Personally, I'm not particularly keen on Irish "theme" pubs" :humbug: When we were driven from KL airport to our hotel, the coach guide pointed out where the Irish pub was for some reason.

Big crowds, lots of smoke, free-flowing beer and loud music set the scene for Ulaanbaatar's most popular night spot.

Yeah problem is I'll know the outcome. Ireland will win and Paddy Wallace will be MOTM!

Prop - which was worse...the injury or the ban?

Mickado - Wow! There must be a lot of people in outer Mongolia....I bet half of them are Irish ex-pats

Not sure to be honest, the injury still flares up but the ban was frustrating!!

I'm not either, Nottins. If a pub has developed an 'Irishness' through patronage or through its history, that's great. But otherwise it might as well be a Wetherspoons.

I really don't like Elvis Costello's voice.

What was the ban for ?

Straight red for stamping....7week ban

Lucky - the worst "Irish" pub I visited was the Celtic Pride in Pontypridd. No Guinness, no Bulmers/Magners, no Murphy's ...in fact there was no Irish drinks served at all. The only Irish thing about it was the Shamrock on the door really.

Elvis Costello's done some great songs though.

Ah.

Funnily enough I like them, you jsut take them with a pinch of salt. I tend to avoid the 'Irish' bars where I'm from because theres a fair chance of getting shot in them....

Hi all, how we doing today. Back from a great short holiday in spain.

Jeesus speak of the devil, your antlers must have been burning stag.
