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 the captains of the World Cup Quarter Finalists pictures on the bar. We've got Sam Warburton, Brian O'Driscoll, Lewis Moody, Thierry Dusautoir, John Smit, James Horwill, Felipe Contepomi and Richie McCaw.

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

Maybe Stag has them!

Just been chatting with Mrs about etymology and other fun stuff(as she's reading Jo Nesbo en anglais),and talking of the word "flick'. Is it still used in a cinematographic context in current language?Do people still say "I'm off to the flicks tonight",par exemple?Merci.

Well I still say that Mick(), although I do get some strange looks from the young folks!

I do. If I went still.

But I think kids say gonna catch a movie...

They are all American now. Bless em.

MrsP. Look under the stairs. Or in the dogs pad.

Yes... Flicking off has a completely different connotation.

Pictures

Flea Pit

Found them!!!!

That child has a great talent for "hiding" stuff.

She once lost her specs and we found them 6 months later.

Don't give that child the blame. Its your responsibility as a Super-Mom/Heart Specialist/School-run driver/chauffeur/Chef/ Ironing and washing duties... and stuff.

X.

The kids have got nothing on the wife for losing things in this house.

She phoned me at work last week to say she was out and had lost her door keys. I couldn't get home immediately so she said she'd go to her friends house. When she got there, she phoned to tell me that she'd found the keys, the were under the little ones backside in the buggy.

That kid will end up in Yale.

Well to be fair, it wasn't me who hid the stuff in the first place!!!!

Although, as a mum, I will automatically take the blame and guilt!

Super glue the shoes and glasses on it's the only cure.

Cymro!

That's terrible! The joke I mean!

Believe me, it is a course of action I have considered on many occasions!

Evening all.

Stag!!!!

Did they bail you?

Stag,
I'm afraid I told MrsP the Truth a while back. Read back before you comment. It may affect your career.

Nothing needs to be said Gibbo. Seemed I can't go 3-4 days without posting in the pub without the place going to shoite.

Actually, we've been getting along very nicely without your disruptive influence!

Yeah sorry bout that pal. My baaaaaad. And Glas of course. We are a Welsh/Irish Double Act.

Yeah,

Hinge and Bracket!

That's a mental picture I hadn't expected MrsP!

Preparing myself to do my SG picks, don't remember a moment when I have been more torn

Your lucky you turned up tonight Stag: me and Gibbo were going to go into verbal warfare

Did mine heads or tails Swanny;the only surefire one I came up with was an Argentinian win Gerrin,Puma Oi Oi

Indeed Swanny and yet strangely apt I think!



So....which way are you going in your prediction for QF1?

Feicin wimmin. Don't trust em.

Always with the Truth and sheet.

XX,
Hinge.

God, I love women. I just couldn't handle the sheer boredom without them. Thank you Allah.

Lads are grand for pints and stuff... just a tad... well ... lacking in the finer things.

Oh Cymro.. Man. Why did you DO that to me?!

I love this. Wimmin.. DONT look.

Ah sure why shouldn't they marry?

Anyone fancy the Sarries vs Biarritz match on 14/01/2012? Being played in Cape Town!!Offer me the ticket, I'll hitch hike,only the crossing from Spain to Morocco, then it's a straight line south.

MrsP can you imagine her being a mother I would not want her to find my glasses.

Maybe that's why my weeun keeps "losing" her's!

Cymro man. You are on fire tonight.

Ok Chef. Lets do it! Im a ClogIrish Hippie. Your a Franglais-hippie. We both have the same bad attitude...

Jebus,that would be sooo nice.

Question for the evening: Is the Sexton experiment over as soon as it began? Did Jonathon arrive too late on the scene. Still seen as a rookie at 26 years of age and he has Ian Keatley and the young Ulster flyhalves breathing down his neck.

Stag,it was Felipe/IRFUs fault. He should have been sent to Connacht. He will get capped further obviously and will be the main out half for at least another 2 years but he could fine himself under a lot of pressure for the shirt after that

Stag is back in full WUM-mode.

No, feic off!

Sexton will play his part v Wales. ROG is playing well, since he threw his soother out of the pram and Deccie backed down in true Eddie style. (is that racist?)

But, when we play France or England in the SF's - my bet is Sexton will start.

Is that Gibbo in a dress with Chef looking over his shoulder??!!

Not a WUM Gibbo just asking a question.

I am firmly a Sexton fan. I would have thought we may see him in this game. I expect to see him come on all fired up. I also haven't forgotton how good he can be - Northampton 2nd half, England 6 Nations.

He still isn't a great goalkicker,I don't think he ever was or will be. Wanted to see him at 12 but not going to happen now.

Bracket in da house.

Thomond - I wanted to see him at 12 too and I think that:

10 O'Gara
12 Sexton

21 Keatley

Isn't the worst lineup we could have in February. Leinster will need him at 12 but yes he's not a great kicker is he?

You'd leave Wallace out for Sexton at 12?

Yes indeed. A 10 who can't kick worth Poopie is useless. Time to shoot him in the head lob off his testicles and head to the science lab. Then when ROG's boot has won us the WC we do the same to him. Combine Sexton's running game with ROG's kicking and we have our very own Dan Carter. Find a lovely and willing Irish lass to eh implant and bang 20 years from now the WC will be ours again. Simples.

Did anyone else know that the just departed cricketer Graham Dilley was the father of the Worchester Warriors captain?

Im just hardcore like that Glas.

I think Ireland will have major change in the centre over next 2 seasons as Darcy and Wallace get phased out. We have got a taste of the second five eight and it excited the fans in the Aussie match. I see Sexton and Keatley both fulfilling this role internationally (with the latter doing it for Munster too). I expect that Nevin Spence will also get tried at 12 partnering BOD. He seems to have got as much game time at 12 than at 13 for Ulster last season.
