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 Stephen Jones photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

Just sitting at home lamenting the loss of the Rock Star, I was flicking through sky this morn.g and Guns 'n' Roses were on and even though he's an absolute aorsehole (but I suppose you have to be to be a rock star) Axl Rose is the last true rock star the world has had.

The world needs a new rock star

You recording the Tri-Nations Rev?

You rang?

Hughie,TOL doesn't kick the same amount of ball as the rest of out scrum halfs.

Your right T, he licks more than the three of them combined

Hughie,his stats would indicate that he kicks as much or less than all the others. His are just poorly executed. Our only good box kicker is Murray.

Very Rock and Roll Mr Kiwi

Free Willy 3: The Rescue on ITV 2 this morning. Well that's this morning's entertainment sorted!

Glas appreciate the poem. Gibbo I stand by that.

Yeah, got that ta.

Bore da pawb/Good morning all.

I've had the laziest morning, it's been amazing. Just going to do some chores now before popping out to by the for all the rugby. Nerves starting to build slowly for it now.

Bore da pawb / good morning all, just got in from a driving lesson. I'm good, if I do say so myself

Afternoon.
we've got a severe weather warning on here atm;heatwave(night min 24 daytime 35+ for the next three days).Advised not to go outside between 11am and 9pm-thank goodness there's some sport on the TV.

Sounds rough Mick - keep drinking, but non-alcoholic.

Why are blind people allowed to drive cars on the road in Britain?

Just been out unknitting a traffic jam because an idiot cannot read the give way / priority to traffic coming from the other direction sign. Meanwhile a car stops outside our gate - because the cars in fornyt of him have stopped and then more idots from behind decide to overtake him .

Morning, currently part way up a small cliff free climbing and realised I hadn't popped in for a before! Looks like it's going to be another gorgeous day here, just need to find somewhere showing the match!

I'm already up to 1.5 litres,Kia, of which o.25 was not water

I think Blagdon needs

For those who are interested: Scott Williams is on the bench instead of Stephen Jones.

Good aft all. Waiting in Killester for me Norn Iron lover Rava to pick me up. Meeting up with Ulster, Munster and Leinster regs for a few pre-match bevs, then off to watch the game in Cassidys. Nice.

The French are going DOWN today. 15 pts spread min.

Believe.

Chef, sent you an email mon chere. I was away in the wilds of Donegal for a few days. They dont have the inerteweb there. But some stunning scenery. Stayed in a thatched-cottage with its own cove and got in for a swim. I got a from the locals it was that cold. Its beautiful there, but nearest pub was 5 miles away. Malin Head - the furthest place North in Ireland. Lots of in-cottage drinking, eating, hill-walking and meditating was had. Feel renewed.

Willy,
I agree that Leamy (who has not been near half his best of late) may make it for cover alone. But if Jenno plays as well as he has been with SOB and Heaslip in tow... Kidney would have to give him a damn good reason for omitting him. He said places were up for grabs based on performance. I hope de Cute Hoor is not a liar. Just sayin.

Want to see 1F show us he's back as well. Would be a huge bonus if he does and comes through today unscathed. Key player for our chances in NZ.

There are loads of Texels in Donegal Gibbo, loads.

Afternoon All.

Just listening to a bit of Climie Fisher to drown out the DIY going on next door before The Matches

Afternoon all

I've managed to get my arrangemnts sorted to watch all the rugby, so a lazy afternoon in prospect

Which matches are you watching Kiwi...there's some Tri-Nations on at the same time isn't there?

Hoi Cari, Kiwi, Glas. Was a sunny day in ol Dubh Linn but clouding over now. Rav is bringing that Norn Iron rain down with him.

Glas, question. I saw yellow sheep on the hills when out walking. Thought I was tripping. WTF is that all about? So the farmer can spot them in the dark in remote places? Is that their colour after dowsing or are they growing wool for ASM? ? Was one of the weirdest sights Ive ever seen. I will put it on Faceache when I get back.

Stupid try nations kicking off a 4 and gay Chelsea kicking off at 4:45 is leaving it near impossible to find a pub locally that will show the tri nations and Ireland at the same tine

Howya Gibson I saw something on TV once about a farmer who sprayed his sheep in red so he could identify which were his and to stop them getting pinched.

Hughie - haven't you got Sky at home? That might be your best bet?

Well I do know one place but I'm trying to avoid the walkabout

Of course I do, but its Saturday afternoon and i want a feed of pints

Makes them look nice for the shows and sales.

I know, but it seems you'll have to compromise yourself here. Either go to the Walkie or stay home and drink there?

Gibbo,wottcha my luverly.
Already predicted an Irish victory of at least 12.

watching soccer, 'Pool ok for 35 mkins, but the Gunners starting to play;Frimpong is having a great game.

It is now 38 degrees in the shade.

Cari, Wales game at 2.30, SA vs NZ at 4.00, then Ireland later

Hiya Gibbo, Glas, Hughie, Mick

Rather you than me in that heat

Ah that's good then Kiwi - you get to see them all

Kiwi, where are you? RAIN!!!!?

OMG. Mickado has a ticket for the game for me! I get to see Jenno play for his country. Man, I could crush a grape! I love that boy.

Hoi Chef. Miss your face ma belle. Im coming down your way in the next few months. Dunno when yet. We'll talk when I get back. I need a French man-cuddle.

Mick, soggy old London. Mutter mutter.

County Clapham it is for me

COME ON WALES!!!! I'm excited...even though it's a warm up match

Glad you found a pub Hughie

Great work on the ticket Mickado/Gibbo Enjoy the matches all. May your teams do you proud

watching aresnal in the rain; now that is COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Only one watching the rugby in the rugby clubhouse it seems! On the coke too after a big session last night.

Gibbo, who's this jenno kid, sounds like a one trip pony

Lyd, coke's ok, but mind the nostrils<sniff>

Don't worry chef I've got my handkerchief

Easier with a straw, but times change

ALL - has Myp2p been removed? Or is it down? I'm not sure if it's just my system...

Awh that big Argie fella's getting all emotional in the anthems. They're a passionate lot.

Martyn Williams looked like Wayne Rooney coming out of the tunnel

With or without the hair transplant?

Cari, their front page is down. You can get through by googling their forum though.

Ah phew! That's OK Kiwi, I don't need it now, but I was worried it had been removed!

Less than 10 mins and the first mention of "Numbers !"
