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?

Stag and Mick - I don't agree with being able to buy privileges. If they play well, enough people will walk up to see them to keep them afloat. If they thought more about how to attract the walk up fan instead of pandering to the season ticket types they may actually make some money.

But isn't that like the incentives banks have to attract new customers while neglecting the loyal customer who's been banking with them all their life?

I agree, I'm noticing this a bit. Not in a wummy way. More like a young Portnoy

Oh good grief....we don't need another one!

I don't agree with being able to buy privileges

You've never met Nelson Mandela have you?

I do. I'd pay for a date with Tommy Bowe if I had the money!

Afternoon all, hope everyone's well

Stunner of a day here in the Diff.

Anyone know what the final score was in the rugby earlier?

Cari - I hear two glasses and Tommy is literally ANYONES. Just make sure you slip a certain something into the drink. I find its more effective

Dreamer - I got back into Fire & Ice. I'm nearly halfway through Book 3. Im amazed how much I like them.

I think all of us do.

It’s kind of how capitalism works, and how you’re able to use the money that you earn to buy goods and/or services.

Dreamer it was 25 - 9 to Georgia.

Staggy - I would prefer him conscious...

Coincidentally, I'm listening to a discussion on the radio now about good capitalism and bad capitalism....

Good capitalism - I get the money

Bad capitalism - everyone else gets the money

Cari - doilch

Stag - ah excellent! let me know what you think of the end of book 3. I think they're a brilliant series, although for me book 4 wasn't as good as the others.

One man's privilege is another man's ........ COMPLETE

Here, has everyone seen this story about the All Blacks might have to pull out of the next world cup? That could be awkward if they won this one:

Ah ASBO is here: he'll settle this.

Asbo - which is a better ticketing module? Encourage Season Tickets or encourage on the day ticket sales.

Staggy - don't ask him to referee an arguement he's Scottish!

Mickado wrote:£155?

So that covers 11 Pro12 games and 3 HC games?

14 games at 155 notes = £11

You want people who walk up to the gates to pay a tenner for a ticket? That’s madness, they’d lose all their STH’s!
Season Tickets are a god send to a club, it allows them to forecast their yearly earnings better and not live fist to mouth financially.

17 games probably. 2 LV and at least 1 friendly.

Genuinely one of my favourite 606 comments.

Fair enough Rev, but they really are throwaway games. In the Leinster season ticket you get admission to all the A games for free. That’s just a bonus though, it’s a side note to the competitive games, I’m sure with the O’s season ticket it’s the same.

Yeah they are throwaway games right enough. Just highlighting the value really.

I don't see why season ticket holders shouldn't pay less than walk up people. In fact if the Dragons offered tickets for a fiver, I'd be rather put out given that I've lumped out £160 for my ST.

Just had to laugh...someone on the radio was complaining about youngsters today going to gigs taking drugs, drinking....and then he ended with "...and some of them don't even clean their shoes!" Kids today, eh? Terrible! Dirty shoes! take 'em off!

I will? Both would be good?

Could start an argument with myself!

Exactly, you made a committment to the Dragons and have guaranteed that they will have money coming in. You've made things easier for Dragons and should be rewarded.

I made no such committment to Munster and it makes sense to me that I should therefore pay more and maybe next season when I have more time I may consider a season ticket.

Youngsters go to gigs now? Despicable behaviour!

Lucky - that's my bad typing he wasn't against kids going to gigs, it was the fact (in his view) that they drink and take drugs at gigs....and didn't clean their shoes

Nothing like a nice scoop of Schweddy Balls!

I saw that Mickado....can't say it sounds attractive, but I would find it fun asking for it in a shop

When I was in the first year of comprehensive we went on a school trip to France to stay with pupils of the Breton school we were twinned with*. On the morning we were due to head off to Portsmouth for the ferry I woke up to find that my mum had cleaned my daps and they were beautifully white. At the time it was deeply uncool to have spotlessly clean trainers. I was gutted, but I felt a bit better when I got to school and discovered that my friend's mum had done exactly the same with his trainers.

* I know it should be 'with which we were twinned,' but that sounds quite noncy.

I would have recitified that on the way to school Luckless, a quick stamp with one foot on the other after walking through a feild does wonders for the scuffed up look.

I was too busy crying to think of that...

Hi folks.

Glas is just waiting for a Government grant on Welsh season tickets...

Afternoon woss occurrin'?

They took away my season ticket at Agen on Friday cos the code bar couldn't be read,and as yet the gatestewards haven't got back to me about it;gonna make a phone call!!

In the meantime,wonderful weather, the Indian has arrived,
"don't it always seem to go, you don't know what you've got til it's gone...."

That's not what I want to hear, Chef - this season's (delayed) Dragons season tickets are going to be bar code ones!

Beautiful weather here, too.

Just had the ticket office;"I don't understand,we have had problems, but yours is the only card that has been kept"

Is this because I was wearing my jersey?

Working hard Cari, but just ending my lunch break.

No live rugby for me this weekend. Ealing are at Wharfedale (Yorks), and Wasps are even further away in Geordieland...on frikkin Sunday

So that's our two furthest away games being back to back weekends, and both games on Sunday. Cheers PRL

Afternoon people,

Glorious day here as well

Think I'll have a

It’s bloomin gloriously lovely in Dublin too.

Many thanks to the Indian’s who had a hand in this late summer, or so I’m lead to believe…

This why he is called the Doctor(from BBC)

He said: "If Scotland wins without a bonus point and denies England a bonus point and we don't win with a bonus point, we all finish with 14 points.

"If Scotland beats them without a bonus point to England, it will go on points difference between the three teams.

"We already won by one point and lost by four, so we are minus three and England would be minus more because they beat us by four and, if they lose to Scotland by more than seven, they are more than minus three."

However, looking ahead to a game against Georgia his side are heavily fancied to win, he concluded: "I think we just have to win."

I am spending some time at Huggies Gaff and the weather is glorious. Would have sat in the garden but the grass is about three feet tall.

Bout time he harvested it then, Rava.

It's meant to be hottest in London.

Bloomin typical!

All those soft southerners like Hughie, Asbo, LDPCP, Kiwi and Hound etc hogging all the best weather!

Appartently Tommy Bowe is calling Conor Murray "Bieber" these days

Spoiler:

I'm nt surprised Stag,I've always thought Murray had the hairstyle of the Beebs.

Looks more like Henson to me...

Plenty of the local deadbeat lads walking around Port talbot shirtless. Its warm but......

Deadbeats in Port Talbot? You're making this up!
