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 props' pictures on the bar. We've got Castrogiovanni, Beast, the Franks brothers, Mas, Tonga'uiha, Roncero, Cian Healey (as demanded by Hughie), Stevens, Murray, Mike Ross, Adam Jones and Steenkamp all in action. Graffiti's a banning offence

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

oh do tell. when did he have his strop? what was it about?

Haven't seen Gibbo on lately. well I haven't been on much either. I understand he is a night owl with it though.

how is he keeping?

he due over for any games soon does anyone know?

What strop was that, Munsty?

Gibbo's in now and then, Micky - more's the pity.

haha. good stuff. .Luck. I must drop him a text or something at some stage..

For Cymro if he's about: tickets are now on sale for the boxing day match between Scarlets and Ospreys.

Micky Tikka! Gibbo was in the other night - wouldn't shut up. Must've been on the sauce...

How's you anyway? You're like The Scarlet Pimpernel these days.

Dreamer - you still up for going to the Liberty to the West Wales derby in November?

What's a Scarlet Pimpernel? I am guessing someone that doesn't come in too often?

Yeh I am good Cari, the band took up all my summer and now work needs attention for a couple of weeks to get me back on track and then I will be grand./

I have said before though as I don't have a laptop at home, I won't overly get to post much in the evenings unless the mobile version gets released (Which looks like never) and therefore can't use it on the ipad or iphone to any great success like with bbc 606

It's a little, delicate flower that is very difficult to find.

Elusive.

Just like you!

The Scarlet Pimpernel was basically a very elusive bloke that everyone was looking for and they couldn't find him Glad you're well anyway, nice to see you.

It's a shame about the mobile version - a few people have the same problem. Hope they can sort it soon.

I like mrs p's answer better

Awh Sorry Flower I was thinking of the story of The Scarlet Pimpernel, I'm not into gardening much so I'm rubbish with plant and flower names.

I've just had an email saying 'We miss you on Twitter!' Why does it matter to them how often I 'tweet?'

I'm really not fussed on Twitter. Maybe I'm still not using it properly or something.

Nice to know you're wanted Lucky.

I don't use Twitter at all. It doesn't sound like something I'd get much enjoyment or use out of really.

I'm not a fan, Cari. You get to read what the people you follow have written, but it's very rare that they say anything interesting or worthwhile. When it comes to 'famous' people, anything interesting they put on Twitter will get into the wider media anyway.

With apologies to the other nations represented in the pub, this is for the Irish Regs (and Cari, because Tommy is featured quite a bit )

I love how many variant spellings of 'Contepomi' there are on this thread!

Contempommy....what's he got to do with the referee?

Cheers for that vid Rava...it's good.

This article is fairly interesting; but the last sentence made me laugh out loud:

Love it Gibbo.

That's classic

Just watching the Wales game here, Jenkins try was something special!

Good one

Aye it was like 2005 all over again!

Some good ones on there though. Scott Williams had a good introduction to the world cup anyway.

Is there anywhere I can see the tries from this morning? Highlights programme or anything?

Total mismatch then.

Notch - can you access the ITV iPlayer? They've got a highlights programme on there?

http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=275683

Just settling in to watch the Wales match again now. My flatmate who doesn't particularly like rugby has been raving about Jenks' try so can't wait to see it.

Cari - aye yeah should still be on for the O's v Scarlets, don't think I've too many plans for Nov yet. Tis around the 5th yeah?

Thankyou Cari

I'll have to watch that later.

Dreamer - I'll have a look at tickets next week I think it's beginning of November. Hopefully tickets will be on sale at some point soon.

Notch - there's also Scrum V's world cup special at 10:35pm on BBC 1 Wales if you can get it.

the whole match might be on the S4C website Notch as well later on, or even now. Not sure if that'll work for you though.

Cari - aye I'd expect tickets would be on sale pretty soon for it

It works all over the UK dreamer. I'm not sure I want to sit and watch the whole game though, because I've got some reading to do and want to get to the gym as well.

Then to that I'd say, forget the gym and just watch the first 20 mins, skip the rest of the first half then watch all the 2nd half. That's where all the tries are anyway

Oh yeah Notch, the first half was a bit wobbly. Good Namibian intercept though!

Dreamer - just checked, it is Saturday 5th of November (wooo Bommy Night!) and it's a late kick off - 6:30pm. Is that OK?

I don't know, obviously there's such a big gulf of class between the two teams it would be better to watch the period where Namibia were in the game! I'm a bit sick of one-sided games, but I'd like to see the tries in any event. Except the Ireland-Russia match, that was ok. How weird I should think that!

Maybe I'll just watch it later on tonight. I'm exhausted really, I think all these early World Cup mornings are adding up. Good first day getting to know all the other guys on the MA programme before the serious business starts!

Oh I forgot it was your first day back at uni. I assume it all went well though?

Staying up all Saturday night definitely caught up with me. I'm back in work tomorrow as well.

Yeah, well it was all just Induction stuff. My classes start tomorrow, from this point on I have classes and the seminars and concerts begin again, as well as auditions! I spent most of today trying to get to know everyone else on the course. They all seem really nice though, so thats great. Going to hopefully get some reading done tonight.

that sounds fine Cari, might ask a friend of mine if she wants to come along too if that's okay. Only problem is that she works shifts, mainly on the weekends which is a bummer but she loves her rugby so will be great if she can come along too.

And 6:30 isn't so late, loads of trains between the Diff and Swansea so should all be good

That's cool Dreamer - the more the merrier...even if she is a Turk supporter I bet! I wonder if Penfro's back then? Perhaps he'll come along too if he is.

yeah that's around the Dragons v Blues match as well isn't it? think he mentioned something about that anyways. Would be great to go do both I reckon, two Welsh Derby's in one weekend hopefully! Depending when the Drags' match is on anyways.

Ha she's a Turk and also a bit of a Blues fan coz she went to uni in the Diff, loves rugby though, she was the one who watched the Wales v Samoa game with me at half 4, all our other friends thought we were crazy.

Munster, you chopper. I think my strop was pretty fair, despite it being a misunderstanding. Don't know why you brought it up for. I hope Huggy rips that spare ticket up in your face.

Dreamer, Dragons v Blues is the Friday.

Speaking today at the Labour Party Conference a teenage boy surprisingly stole the show, and even more surprisingly none of the plasma screens.

I am hilarious.

Evening all

Had to come home from work early tonight as wife and 1 child throwing up. All I need is to pick up a bug of some sort!

That bug is doing the rounds the wife being a school teacher brings home every germ thats the flavour of the month with the kids.

Rev - a nice one, glad it's on a Friday, reckon I'll try and go to both then.

That sounds like a good weekend then Dreamer.

I won't be able to go to the Friday one, but I can't wait to see the O's. Hopefully Tommy will be playing

You want me there Rev. I knows it. Love you!

Won our game tonight. Much improved performance from last week. My fitness was better. Miss a few good chances. Hit the side net, missed by about 2 inches and hit the bar. Hope I will break the duck next week but if we keep winning then I don't mind. Did get an assist though.

Munsty,goal and an assist of the bench on Saturday for me. I was atrocious in my first match of the day though. I'm a real super sub.

Yeah it was the day I hoped for Dreamer, as I'm off to Wembley for that Four Nations rugby league the next day.

I am off to Chepstow races a week Saturday too. First time at the races. Tres excited.

Ah you can read me like a book Munster. Glad your football went alright.
