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?

Hound as a student I was a committed (and I use that word advisedly) bitter drinker. Then when I moved home the standard of barmanship in some pubs was so low, the bitter was guaranteed to...well I won't go into details but you know what I mean. Now I drink lager or cider, but on the odd occasion when I'm tempted by bitter it causes...you know what, no matter how well it's looked after. Is there a cure?

Asbo, I think the start is vital for you. Let England hit their straps early and you'll be shafted (two horsey metaphors for the price of one!)

Don't think so, Lucky - I find it odd that the RFU intervened - slapped wrists were all that was required surely?

Not in the slightest luckless


Morning all,


As have some belief about your game mun, you just never know

I've said on the match thread that if England continue to concede penalties at their current rate, Scotland may not need to run in tries to win.

This gave me a good giggle this morning

Yes, it will galvanise the players who will rally round to 'do it for the coaches'.

If I was Robinson I'd be saying:

"it's not for me to comment on the rights and wrongs, I just hope those involved are suitably embarassed"

Nice one Huw.

That one of Kurtly Beale is gas! Spot on.

Glas, fair enough if you weren't being obtuse about the season tickets. But i just don't see how your argument makes sense.

Those lookalikes are great I bet there's a few more somewhere.

Morning All

That's fine, I'll have to 'enlighten' you again, I'm off to work now.

Morning all. Back at work after a nice couple of days in Landhan.

Happy Birthday Mate

Wayne Barnes is perfect as well

Right, that's my bit said.

Morning leaving aside your hopes what are your expectations for the English match?

And Im a young Glas

I think Im almost looking forward to Scotland v England more that Irish game.
Won 3rd prize in a father ted quiz dinner for 4 which is nice.

Agree. It seemed excessive maybe the needed be seen as in control after business with Tindall.

Oh I’m sure I’ll be enlightened alright.

I’m sure your ideas will turn global economics on its head.

Rav, what had you over in Londinghamshire?

- What did Ted get Dougal for Christmas?
- What is Father Jack said to have a tremdendous smell.of?
- What was name of Eurosong presenter
- Who has a retractable leg and a fear of stamps?
- In the episode they go on holidays to what county do they go?

It was a great quiz

Ah that sounded like a bloody good knees up. You had a cracking day for it too.

They're actually really tough, the names always get me becuase they're so normal (which somehow makes them funnier but less memorable). Ted got Dougal matador stuff, but i genuinely couldn't answer the rest of them. I didn't even think they mentioned a county in the holiday episode but i'd guess it was Clare since the show was shot around there.

Morning all

Knackered. Losing the will to live. Cannot wait until Monday/Tuesday when I have 2 days off and the kids will be at school/nursery. I intend to sleep for the full 48 hours!!!


Question for the Munster/Irish regs. Is Tomas O'Leary injured? I notice he hasn't played this season and wondered why?

Mick - there were some easy questions too and some fairly off the wall ones. Pete he is - back injury.

Mickado:

- What did Ted get Dougal for Christmas? - Matador Costume
- What is Father Jack said to have a tremdendous smell of? - Vegetables
- What was name of Eurosong presenter - Fred Rickwood
- Who has a retractable leg and a fear of stamps? - The Beast
- In the episode they go on holidays to what county do they go? - Mayo
- Whats name of the 'Spinmaster' - Father Finnegan
- What is the Monkey priests name - Father Fay

I'd say an entire quiz of Father Ted questions would be pretty tricky. Didn't the Irish guy that won mastermind a few years back pick Father Ted as his specialist subject? I think he set a record for the amount of correct answers....

Did I fly off the handle? I often think people don't 'get' how other people react on here. I don't recall flying off the handle at anything.

Ah Staggy ya bollix, I wanted to answer them, I'm a bit of a Fr. Ted freak

That's because you dont know how to take a joke Notch, lighten up a bit

Feic sake Notch let it go

Buzz Killington

I do know how to take a joke, it's just very difficult to tell when people are joking without being able to see their body language, tone of voice etc. It's confusing.

I think I'm ascribed a level of seriousness by other posters that I don't really recognise in myself

Rev,
I've checked the SUA and USAP sites, but there's no mention of Richard Parks anywhere

Notch, I suggest more meet ups. You learn the quirks that other people have and what their 'style' is. Relax and enjoy it all

Mick - have to say I'm LOVING the Top 14 this season. Some great play even without the internationals.

Morning all. Finally got a decent night's sleep last night where my own body woke me up, not another person or an alarm.

Went to the beach yesterday. Was really good. Had a good swim even though it was freezing.

You mean, meet people in real life instead of talking through a screen?
Bloody traditionalists...

Yeah where's the progress? Might as well be writing letters

Ok I think we are all in agreement. We abandon 606 Pub and create the 606 Pen Pal system. It will take a lot longer but hey its how we roll

Yep, letters from now on, which we have to deliver by hand.

This Georgian lad Mamuka Gorgodze, he plays for Montpellier right?

That should be some tussle with the Leinster backrow in the HC!

Or pay a man on horseback to deliver it. Homing Pigeons are also acceptable. For those living near enough to each other smoke signals will be permitted.

Chinese whispers?
