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 current hookers pictures on the bar. We've got Tincu, Ledesma, Ford, Best, Thompson and Bennett all in action. Graffiti's a banning offence

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

We have GOD on our side for our trip to Connacht, thanks to our injuries. Geraint O'Driscoll has been brought into our squad. Ash Smith and Wayne Evans seem fit too, so our backs crisis isn't so bad. Adam Hughes and Mike Poole are injured though. Still not expecting anything from Galway again though.

Anyway, leave you lot to it I think. Might go for a little drive to ease my boredom for a bit.

Tell that to Ummm, Rev. He' s texting me every time they win. And I'm expecting a happy text this weekend. I'm dreading us playing Connacht in the state we are in now. It will be a heavy-breathing phone call. I know im. He's like that.

De basterd.

Hoi Prop, hows you me darlin?

Go for it Hughie, I think that's a great idea

Say hello to ummm, for me Gibbo. I miss that man's humour and stories

Swanny I rated your song choice. Yours also Gibbo.

Hughie's biggest musical influence? Not Lennon. Not Gallagher. Not Clapton. Not Hendrix.

Sharpey.

Isin't Life grand sometimes?

I love this Pub and what's happened out of it. Its actually mad. In a nice way.

You know something I have missed you all .

Evening all

Sorry about the song choice, watched this with my littlies on Saturday evening. Disney still got the magic after all these years.

Wow, cleared the joint.

Nite all

Pete. I love you man. Really. A man smiling,caring for and minding 4 girls, is truly a real man in my book. XXxxx.
And I love that song. You sentimental tart.

Hughie, drop me a PM or post in here if you want any specific advice on guitars, what to look for when buying a guitar, whats good, whats bad etc.

The first thing I would say is; don't buy your guitar from E-Bay. You should ALWAYS play a guitar before you buy it.

See what I mean? People minding each other.


All the politics, all the religion, all the racial differences, all the varying rugby colours - mean nothing.

It don't Mean a Thing if it ain't got that Swing.

Believe.

Same as a woman

Try before you buy.







I'm gonna get sheet for that one.

True that. It's a lot like a woman. You can spend some time together, get to know each other before you make a commitment... or you can order from a dodgy website. Guess which one works out better?

That said, I will contradict myself in that I know a musician who is selling her guitar right now (she's mainly a singer) and she's trustworthy enough. So I could put you in touch.

I should have added...

Subject to terms and conditions. Special exclusions may apply.





I reckon I'm really for it now!!

Gonna be keeping an eye on your provinces future this weekend Notch. I'll be touch judging the Munster U18 v Ulster U18.

OK. I'm confused like a little bhoy now. Can you tune a woman?

Tried it. They tried it. Doesn't work.

I know, lets just sing the same song - in a different pitch and phhok the differ. It would save 1000's of years trying to change it.

Just a suggestion mind.

Don't you get arrested for tuning a woman?

And quite right to for the record.

Rhino!

Good question man. No. I didn't get arrested perse. This woman was a Dutch copper. She had her own handcuffs. Independent. I'll probably love her forever, for the hiding she gave me.

Saved me 300 guilders. Fair play.

Did Amsterdam corrupt Gibbo? Or vice versa?

I know you think Im joking. But Im not.

She beat me black an blue. For free. Stunning experience.

Notch, I was looking on eBay and there is a lad selling loads of guitars, but he has his shop in London so I might just get it from him, just playing with ideas really at the minute.


I can play a few cords already just from messing about on buddys guitars and ill just teach myself the rest. I do have manky fingers though that don't like to bend in certain waya so iy might just scupper me haha

Denmark Street, London. Go there.

First place I visited when I went to London as a tourist after hearing about it for years, reading about it in guitar magazines etc. Didn't disappoint! Used to be recording studios and rehearsal studios- its always been associated with music. Now there are loads of guitar shops and screeds of listings for London bands looking for personnel. 95% are no doubt really bad, but still...

You live in London- whats your excuse?

That said, I've obviously never bought anything from a shop there so I can't comment on value for money.

Nice one. Tell me if any of the Schools players impress, but it's a bit young for the Academy boys to feature.

This is the single most amazing thing I've read;

http://www.whas11.com/home/Girl-with-no-vagina-becomes-pregnant-How-83447222.html

Even if its completely and utterly untrue it remains amazing.

Up and at 'em this morning, no rest for the truly wicked. Will grab a on the go now, but leave the till later when I've woken up a bit more and can properly enjoy the experience!

All Ireland winning captain Bryan Cullen has joined the Leinster academy as a fitness coach. Class!

Think I'll have a scrambled asbo when I get back to the house! Quite liking these early starts, should be in at 8.30 for breakfast!!

Morning folks

Munsty,

Talk to her about how pretty/intellegent/lovely some other girl is?

It depends on how often you have to see this girl and how determinedly she is persuing you.

Harsh but effective.

NOOOOOO! that will just steel her resolve!

Try this:

1 start conversation

2 tell her how much you love her, want to marry her and have her babies

3 burst into tears and say you have been very stressed recently, take a tablet out if your pocket with a shaky hand, Woody Allen style, then talk about the last time you were sectioned.

4 fart, pick your nose and eat it and scratch your bum.

5 tell her you want her to meet your sister and would she mind if she watched/joined in

If she's still around by then marry her.

Oh and Munsty! Tell her you prefer men

That doesn't work.

Cymroglan wrote:MBTGOG don't tell her you are not interested but at the same time don't give her the impression you are either.
Put yourself in her shoes treat her like you would like to be treated above all don't BS her but I don't think you are the sort to do that anyway.

Or the classic, cop off with her mate, you know the one who told you she fancies you in the first place.

Bore da pawb / good morning all. A for me please, and a glass of whatever the newly-returned Rava wants when he comes in today

I'll be touch judging the Munster U18...

Durty barstad! Let me know if you need my card.

ITV are predicting an Ireland-New Zealand final

I personally think it will be a France-New Zealand final!

Jasus anyone watching the build for this game???


Itv have just run through everything and their general opinion is Ireland v NZ for the final.


MY GOD IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER

Cannot wait for this match; Tonga vs Japan. The Japanese have had the hoodoo over Tonga but the islanders have a point to prove!

Notch, what type of guitar do you play?

I’ve a bog standard Takamine G-series with a big crack in the veneer and a half a bottle of baileys staining the inside, it still sounds nice though. A good session guitar. And I’ve a 12 string Freshman that my familiars got me for my 21st, really nice but I don’t play it that often, rips the fingers off me!

I have a bog-standard Fender American Stratocaster (from their factory in California). FYI, the hierarchy of Strats is California (Custom Built to order), Japan/America, Mexico.

There is much debate about whether American or Japanese Strats are better. Both have their advocates.

My acoustic guitar is a Parkwood electroacoustic with a cut off.

Morning all.

Didn't quite make it into work in time for kick off in Tonga v Japan, but should be an enjoyable next hour, assuming the kicks in - I foolishly got lost in a book last night so a tad tired today.

This is the same model as my Parkwood;

Spoiler:

Has a rosewood fingerboard and a spruce top. My strat has a maple fingerboard and neck.

My guitar is a basic Hohner acoustic, the first and only acoustic I've owned. I had an Epiphone SG for a while years ago. I have a Japanese Fender Jazz bass but I haven't played it for years.

Those Japanese Fender Jazz Basses are class wee instruments!

This is a cracking game.

Ah yes, my mate has a Japanese strat. It’s very nice.
Haven’t played much electric guitar since I sold mine to go to America on a J1, kinda worth it, but I do miss it. it was only an epiphone (SG imitation) but I loved it, thought I was Kelly Jones!

Mine was cherry red, really nice. But I had to sell it. For crack.
