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 collage of great modern open-side flanker pictures on the bar. We've got Dusatoir, Jennings, Pocock, Brussow and McCaw up, all in action "pilfering pill". Graffiti's a banning offence

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

For me Scotland and Fiji games are just not going to happen, sorry! That's going to have to be provided by the ITV Player and/or highlights. I'm also working tomorrow from 9.30 so may miss a large part of the England game. Maybe not. Depends on how busy it is.

well they lost a lot of points in Wally Staggy I mean, he would've won it hands down on his own...still, Tommy's there this weekend, so I'll have a squiz at him in his disco shirt....and replacing Chilli doesn't help either....I know it's tactical thing....

Dreamer - I'll see how I do if I manage to stay up for Scotland and set the alarm for France. I'm going to be very tired for the next few weeks...

Check it out.

Aye Cari that's what my plan is going to be I think. There's just so much rugby going on, I hate to miss any of it!

Notch - will do.

Ooo I've also just remembered, I need to see if I can make any changes to my fantasy Pro12 team. I had a shocker of a first week, must do better this time round.

Ive to be in work for 06:30 in the morning, what to do tonight............

Hughie - you've got Sky+? I'd just do that....unless you fancy staying up all night (not recommended!).

ha maybe you should just go to sleep now, wake up for the early hours rugby, then get a power nap in before work...

Or just Sky+ it like Cari suggests

I'm not too bothered, Cari. There's four of us in our office, the other three have been invited, but I wouldn't want to go even if I was invited. But it might be nice if they invited me all the same.

Why didn't they invite you?

You need to ask your managers if you can shift your working hours from GMT to New Zealand time. Then its just a simple matter of disciplining the body clock!

That's the point Lucky - let you decide if you want to go or not, being asked would've at least, been polite. I think it's just rude that you don't even get asked if you'd be interested.

Munsty and PCPete are currently first and second on 606's Sportsguru world cup jobby. well done!

Stag, I honestly think it's because I'm not seen as worthy of inviting. After all, all I do is run the office, answer the phone, take care of ordering supplies, make sure there's enough fuel in the yard, type up everyone else's scrawled notes and make spreadsheets for clients, while they're out on site.

But like the Murphy's, I'm not bitter

Ah flock it, the World Cup comes but once a quarter, power through!!!!!

Hughie - get some Red Bull down you, and you'll be grand

Luckless, my advice is to go to the bloody thing this year. That'll show em and you may have some fun along the way.



Im gonna go to watch Limerick FC play tonight - do my part for local Irish soccer.

We had an end of season bash last year which was good, but I was invited to that. I don't really want to have to ask when it probably hasn't crossed their mind to invite me.

Maybe they haven't invited me because they know I'm on here all the time...

Nah forget that Luckless. Say it to them in a casual way. "I hear we're having a work do?", "What date is Xmas party etc".



Why should you miss out

That does seem a bit harsh they haven't asked you Lucky.

Tis a bit opposite at work with me, the social workers always invite us admin staff to work lunches during the day or farwell lunches for staff members, hasn't crossed their mind though that we can never go as we have to man the phones and field all their calls for them. They're always surprised when the admin staff can't make it

Remember Bees Roux, the Saffer prop accused of killing a policeman? The case has concluded. Found guilty of culpable homicide, pays the widow 750000 Rand and a five-year suspended sentence.

You should probably direct comments at that article...

I'm not fussed on going, Stag. Really not. I'm happy not to go.

ooo channel hopping and S4C are showing a repeat of NZ v Tonga. Perffaith. (perfect)

Do all the social workers drive to the party in a 2cv

Thats cool so Lucky. What do you do actually?

I'm office administrator for the Newport depot of a construction company, Stag. It's not very exciting and it doesn't pay well, but I'm grateful for a job in the current climate and my colleagues are a good bunch. Apart from their rampant bigotry, of course.

I have to say, you've done well for yourself with your job!

Nah Cymro they just walk to the nearest pub/cafe for a nice 2hr lunch, while me and the other poor admin staff are stuck at our desks. To be fair to them though, they very rarely get the chance to actually take lunch breaks, so guess the odd extended one once in a while isn't so bad

Exactly any job is worth having. I HATED my last job so so much but was glad to have it. Yea I was lucky to get this. It felt strange to point out my 606 contributions to a potential employer A risky move but it paid off.



So yes if you ever want to head to a top class match or take a team on tour you know where to find me.

Hi again all.

Lucky, that is terrible but it is definately their loss!

Mrs P, it's like Ronnie Corbett said in that sketch about class: I know my place!

You should bring in some really sad looking decorations and a cracker on the day and say you are having your own Christmas party!

I might do that!

Office politics suck. I've had some sheet in some places, but it's made me tougher I think. And perhaps somewhat cynical...

Anyhoo... I killed a sock today. Instant karma's gonna get me...

I feel sorry for the other sock of the pair. How are you going to break the news to it?

And wear the party hat all day while looking dejected.

Who says women are manipulative eh?

Well I'll have to put that one down Lucky. A sock on its own is of little use...

I keep typing and sending messages and then walking away from the puter only to discover ages later that they didn't send because something else had been posted in the meanwhile.

Still not quite used to this site yet.

Either that or I'm stupid.

Or both.

I still do that all the time as well MrsP!

That's easily resolved...wait for the confirmation of posting. Only takes a few seconds

Smart Alex!

I also keep pressing the wee "send" button at the bottom of the page because that was were the "next page" button was on the old 606.

It's hard to adapt at my age. New things confuse me!

Think how difficult it must be for poor Gibson and Asbo!

Where do all the Odd Socks come from? And where do their mates go? Its one of Lifes great mysteries.

I peg em together and they still feck off.

I don't know Gibbo. Maybe socks are like some marriages...they just can't stay together even if they look good

Stag,unfortanately Longford won't do their part for you. I suspect you will end up like MrsP was in today's match! Watch out for Joe Gambele,brilliant player,Denis"The Behanator" Behan will grab some goals. Both are on ridiculously high wages too.

Oooops!

Everything with an electric-plug at the end of it confuses you!

Except an iron. Which is fair enuf.

Stag,
Good man. Your Country's League needs you.

I like the Welsh word for ironing it sounds like "Smoothee-oh"

I have one word to say to you Mr Gibson.

Airport.



Off to feed the shoal.

Later.

I had to see it pal. I loved George Best! He just didnt travel as much as he should have. Went to all the wrong places like. He'd never been to de Dam... And not on Sleazy-Jet.


Love you...
