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?

Yup yup.

My former partner used that phrase a lot, it got on my nerves. If I'd have known what it meant I'd have flipped with her.

Thanks Dreamer but that might be one of the ones that... ...differs...from Glas!

Glas that's filthy.

Notch from the previous pub you should know by now almost everything I say is sarcastic. Highest form of wit.

How was the Ireland v westies game. Strikes me that Paddy's 4 from 6 conversions is better than what he usually gets for us.

CBB on now!

Cachu means you have been pulling faces at the door of the smallest room in the house,

4 from 7, he missed a penalty from the halfway line. I don't know I didn't see it. Sounds like Ireland ran away with it in the last quarter- Connacht industrious but no cutting edge. Will have to wait for the highlights.

McFadden, Murphy and Murray were all obviously playing their hearts out to get on that plane. Their names were mentioned a lot.

Yr iach a gach yn y bore bach,
Yr afiach a gach yn yr hwyr.
Yr afiach a gach dim ond tamaid bach,
Ond yr iach a gach yn llwyr!

ha, most probably! Doesn't help if mutations have been used either, coz even the dictionary is useless then. It confuses me greatly too sometimes.

Glas - tranlsation please!

The healthy defecate early in the morning
The sick do it in the evening
The sick defecate slightly
But the healthy do it mightily

Diolch Glas.

Gach wasn't coming up as a word and neither was Cach (that is only part of a word!), although it did in the end mean what I thought


Anyhoo I'm off to watch Torchwood properly

Anyone heard that Wallace is a doubt for saturday. Thats why Jennings was pulled from the team today?

It is reassuring to know it's not just me that doesn't understand then.

Although I might have been able to live without that translation!

Torchwood properly Doctorr Who pro reply

Yep. We were talking about it earlier. Ronan played 7 tonight and Jennings looks all set to be in the 22. Gutted for Wallace. Hope he makes it back sooner rather than later. He hasn't had any rugby before the squad is announced if he does sit this one out.

Yeah i am gutted for Wallace. If he doesnt make it do you think we will see Ferris, SOB and Heaslip from the start or will Jennings parachute straight in?

Yes, it's nowhere near as poetic. Much is lost in translation.

It is a maxim for life however - the way you 'move' says a lot about your health.

I don't think they'll want to take any risks with Ferris. I think he'll get 30 mins max.

Gibbo,we ain't called the Rebel county for nothing biy! Tom Barry was one of the key guys in getting the British out of Ireland. Apparently his guerilla warfare tactics were used by Middle Eastern countries in later conflicts.

George Hook was talking about Wallace on Saturday evening. Hinting that if he didn't feature for this match there was an unknown problem. Perhaps this is an underlying strain that he's aggrevated. I've always had a feeling Hook knows more than he let's on.

He could hardly know less, Willy

Now it wouldn't be hard to know more than what he appears to. Blind pigs... acorns...

I believe this is a new problem.

Badum bum pish.

That's supposed to be the sound of drums after a humorous remark.

Flicked on to CBB by accident (promise) Katona's on the vino already. Gotta feel for those kids.

Did anybody mention Cliff Richards then

Yes we need a badaboom psht smiley.

Channel 5 is going for controversy and sexual tension methinks.

Sally Bercow! Ffs!

Sally Bercow?! Now call me old fashioned but I don't think that's right.
All for the rights of individuals blah blah blah but that ain't right. Puts her husband in an incredibly awkward position. He'll benthe laughing stock of parliament.

Agreed. Even if I feel slightly more middle aged than five minutes ago.

Bercow is a disgrace

I can't believe you guys are watching it!

Torchwood was amazing.

Neither can I.

Missed the start of torchwood, so I'll catch up on the iplayer laters. 3 episodes to go. Excited!

I've never watched it before, but I was interested to see whether Five would turn it into a bonkfest.*



* for purely intellectual reasons, obviously

Jedward!

Jedward going in now. When do they release the man eating tigers and venomous snakes?

I can't believe you're watching it But they really are two of the least talented tawts I've ever seen.

Why?

I can't believe it either. But it's entertaining enough.

I don't understand the question, Would you like to explain it in words of more than one syllable ?

Are you asking why they are tawts or why he called them tawts?

Why they are tawts.

MBTGOG wrote:Why they are tawts.

Annoying.
No talent.
Stupid haircuts.
Stupid voices.
Stupid clothes.
Z list.
etc.

I'm sure they are nice lads at heart, but it does seem to all intents and purposes that it would be hard to be stuck in an elevator with them to be fair.

Evening all

MrsP - if you are still around can you say what are the consequences of having an achilles tendon removed? A friend of mine has just had this done today ...

It's a long story and I won't bore you, but just wondering will she have to re-learn how to walk?

Yet they've never done anything bad to anyone? They might be annoying but don't you think tawts is a bit harsh?

It's ADHD in stereo. I was brought up not to mock the afflicted. But their affliction grinds it's groin in your face.

I would like to have the tawts bank account.

Would you? It's in euros.

So what ? No.
