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 pub regulars. We've got the big group pic from the HEC final in Cardiff, plus insets of ll those who couldn't make it

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

Dean Ryans analysis of the game is actually very good;

Yeah I just think it's so unusual for a red to be given (even if it is correct). Generally it's nearly always yellows, even in this wc, I think that's why it's so shocking. Kind of makes you wonder why other ref's aren't sticking to the directives like Rolland is.

Good afternoon all you lovely people - spent a lovely afternoon on the heath with the children and Hoog - played some rugby, built a den, climbed some trees and managed to fit in a few cheeky on the way home - a grand day out!

I think other refs are giving yellows and leaving it for the citing commission to sort out. Which is wrong, because if they were following the directives this wouldn't have come as such a shock. No-one wants to see red cards handed out lightly, but a few more before the RWC for similar offences and maybe teams would have been more mindful before one of the biggest games of the season.

sounds a lovely day As

MrsPenfro - ah nice you heard from him, Auckland did look amazing on the tv, am sure despite the result he's been having an amazing time.

The refs that have been leaving it for the citing comissioner were admonished in the findings i believe as well.

I bet he was the 1st one up the tree and into the Den too. Its no wonder the kids love Hugs. Kids are the best judges of all.

Sounds like a Grand Day out mo chara.

Took my daughter to chapel where she was singing this afternoon. 4 or 5 young kids were crossing the road and one mooned two old dears in the car in front of us. My parents were livid, but what do you do?

Apart from that I've been up ladders sawing low branches off a couple of trees in front of the house, been sorting out firewood and called up to see the outlaws in the castle. Father in law had a bump yesterday trying to stop his jeep running into the shop window. They had a wedding on so it was all very dramatic.

Sorry Glas but that made me burst out laughing. Sunday drive shocker!

I don't like unruly kids, but I like kids with a bit of sass. They need it later in Life. As long as they were not rioting, fighting or throwing stones... its just high-jinks.

Hope the Father-in-Law is ok man.

Yes, he's fine. He's just stiff enough to keep the mother in law off his case the jeep has a big dent in the bumper, the sandwich board sign is in bits as is one picnic table. Apart from him nobody was hurt though.

Tis true, JC, like many of the yooffs in here, the lad should be in a child-caring/child-teaching profession in the middle of bedtime stories now,struggling to justify how the Irish invented modern medicine tho

We did! and whiskEy.

Please say hello to all. Dying to see ye all in Dec.

Evening all

Little ones asleep, washing up from Sunday dinner done, so now time for me to...










... iron a weeks worth of shirts and school uniforms.


A womans work is never done!

Peader. Marry me? We'd make a stunning, Susie-Homemaker type couple of tarts. Enjoy your well-deserved me time (when you have finished the ironing), mo chara.

Good prog on SC4 showing the game through the eyes of fans at rugby clubs and at the Millenium Stadium. It's half time now.

I'm drawing the line at wearing a short skirt Gibbo, i don't have the legs for it!

I do. If I shaved.

Glas a du wrote:I do. If I shaved.

Brazilian or Hollywood?

Listen dahling, I already have the legs, the skirt, supenders, 6 inch hi-heels and stockings. We'll be grand.

But, you get the pints in - in a storm yeah? That's when I need my man to really perform, more than at any other time.

Just sayin...


I really hope we are not scaring the kids in here. Bless.

Glas,
Feic off. You love Texel sheeps. Leave my Ozzy alone.

:stropsoffinahissyfit:

You are scaring us kids Gibbo!

MrsP. Good! Life is for living and testing all the waters.

Sooo. Kenneth Brannagh, George Clooney or Boy George?

Is that your list of lookalikes?

Or possible Halloween costumes?

Landing strip.

I bet it's someone like Jon Snow or Jeremies Paxman/Vine.

Yeah Glas. The Lady is smert. So yeah, Jenny (misguided, self-righteous) Paxman would fit de bill. Good call man.

Me? I fancy Neil Jenkins & Bruce Parry. REAL men. Paxman would never do the ironing, stir yer blood or take mind-altering drugs in the name of knowledge or pushing back Life's envelope. Borrrring.

Well, you see lads, it's like asking someone who drives a vintage Aston Martin if they dream about taking a spin in a Ford Ka or a Fiat 106.

Oh shhheeeet.

Shafted. Properly shafted.

You win.

Any folks on here part of the iPhone family? I have a technical query which someone of my generation shouldn't have to ask you pensioners for but here we are...

I know which would break down more...


Anyhoo I thought Asbo was going to do another table for accommodation for the meet. I'm putting up Stag, Munsty and the Penfro's. I may drive to Barth, Exsetter is probably a bridge too far. I can order tickets in a jiffy. I recommend the north terrace for atmosphere.

Everytime Gibbo!

WillyG,

I wouldn't take any advice given in response to that mode of request!

Fire away.

Can i tell a Steve Jobbs joke?

Evening all,

Just up from a nap. I can't remember being that tired before. Emotionally and physically drained. I'm a student, I'm not supposed to feel like this!

I do feel absolutely amazing though.

Munsty, the Eagles are winning aswell that might cheer you up. 20-13 with 3 minutes or so to go.

If I've updated my iPhone with the new software version it should be 4.2.1?

Another time then Willy.

Nos da.

Hiya Munsty!

Glad you're feeling great!

Flew over my technophobe head that. Sorry Willy.

10 years ago America had Steve Jobbs, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash.

Now they have few jobs, less hope and no Flip cash.

Evening all, hope everyone's well

I'm very glad Downton Abbey is about to start so I can have an hour and a bit of some sort of escapism.

I thought it was my hangover making me feel so miserable today but it isn't. I'm just really sad.

Never fear, if it gets really bad, we'll send Gibbo over...


...or Hughie.

Right, ironing done, cup of and some telly before bed me thinks.

oh god, this is going to be a really harrowing episode as well.

Why has everything this weekend been designed to make me


Apart from the Scarlets. They did make me

Answer? Drop the Apple from a very large height and get yerself an HTC. Now that Jobs, has done his final jawb - its yer only man for the Future.

That will be a 150 Euras. Please send it, in a stamped-addressed envelope to:
Gibbo@Iknowphhookineveryting.dot.com

Tanks. Hope that helps. Ya Norn-Iron whipper-snapper.

Love my HTC Desire, great phone, wouldn't get an iPhone.

Dreamer. I know why you are so sad. But, your team went beyond all expectations. The Scarlets boys on Tour - were World Class. And they are coming home to light up the PRO12 and HC.


If I were you, Id get an inner-smug-smile on me fisog.

The next step, for Wales and Welsh regional rubgy - is crucial. They must use this indignation. This hurt. And kick ass.

Enjoy the Show.

I tend to agree with Gibbo. The Welsh can take great heart from their teams performance and have the knowledge that there is young talent there who have come of age and will have learnt massively from the experience.

Charteris, Lydiate, Warburton, Faletau, Priestland and North were all potential top international players 6 weeks ago. They are much, much more now. The future would appear to be bright for Wales. Which of the other 6 Nations (excluding France) sides can the same?

Success! Right can you explain to me why I spent 2 hours downloading what I thought was 5 but what actually turned out to be the same one over again.
