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 team photos of the World Cup finalists. Or the action shots (put up especially for Cari) of McCaw, Kahui and Corey Jane.

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

Well read my France prediction to mean ABs.

Sorry to hear that about the father in law Portnoys.

Evening all, sorry to hear about the father in law too Portnoys.



I played 2 matches at GD tonight, I think I'll be sore tomorrow ...
But we won both and I had 2 pretty good games so it'll be good pain

Nice one kiwi

Kip time for me. Nos da.

when the gazelle wakes up on the African plains he knows that unless he can outrun the fastest lion that day he's going to die.
When the lion wakes up they know that unless they can outrun the slowest gazelle that day they're going go starve and die.
Whether you're a gazelle or a lion, when the sun comes up, you better be ready to run.

Mick, that was pretty deep stuff for half seven in the morning!

I know man. I was reading a book about warehouse management (seriously) and that was one of the quotes in it. I like it though.

Sod that running lark, I'm off for a spot of Wookey



Marnin'....as they say down here.

Do warehouse managers do a lot of running then?

Man's greatest asset is his ability to sweat.

We should have been rubbish as hunters. We have no claws, no fangs, we're not even that quick. But because we cool ourselves down by sweating, we can run for a long time. Our prey - antelopes and the like - are faster than us but after a while they overheat and because they don't sweat, they have to stop or they'll faint. All we had to do was keep our prey on the run for long enough and they were ours. So hooray for sweat.

Bore da pawb / good morning all.

I think you are guilty of anthrapomorhacising those animals. If they knew rather than just did those things they would have reasoning power. In which case the Gazelles would be able to gang up in sufficient numbers to attack the lions, and the Lions would take up gardening.

Wookey?

As in....

Metaphorically they're the marathon champions of the supply chain world. Apparently.

Luckless, that's really fascinating. Makes perfect sense but i never would have arrived at that conclusion unless it was explained. I would have said we were just successful because we're smarter than our prey.

Not quite Mickado. This place...

Though I suspect we will be in the hotei adjacent to it.

Lucky and Mickado were up very early today.

Good luck to Hughie today with his interview. He is on his way to Basingstoke as we speak.

It's good isn't it, Mickado? It was on some documentary I watched a few months ago.

Gawd, what a glorious morning here. The sun shining on the surroundimg hills, showing autumn's colours in all their glory. Beautiful.

And now to listen to some boring shoite for the next 7 hours

Aye good luck Hughie!!

Hound: you listening to Radio 1 for 7 hours then??!!

Nothing wrong with a bit of Somerset: lived there for 7 years plus good

Morning all, brisk but sunny morning here.

Good luck Hughie!

Sore ankles, sore calves, sore knees, sore back and sore nose (a stray pass got deflected into my face) this morning, but

Yep, good luck to Hughie.

Someone's just told me that Alain Rolland's first appointment after the World Cup will be the Dragons v Blues at Dave Parade next month. Yikes.

Jeys Hound that looks stunning. Shame it’s a work thing that has you there but it could be worse, you could be in <searches memory banks for industrial boring area in Greater London> Slough?

Ádh mór go dti Hughie for his interview. If they ask you what’s your biggest weakness don’t say blondes!

Did it yesterday pal, if you hear an Ulster accent gag them.

Last night I reached for my liquid Viagra and accidentally swigged from a bottle of Tippex.
I woke this morning with a huge correction.

I reckon Micky T will be nicking that one!

Does anybody remember 'liquid paper'? That was a rubbish rip off.

Morning people

Best of luck Hughie!

Big fella had heard it before but was happy to have some input from me.

I actually find that comment offensive.

We had an interesting talk at our ref meeting last night about the RWC in general which inevitably led to discussion of THAT red card and the blazers were passing on the feedback from IRFU and IRB for us. We also had a presentation from a Pro 12 citing commissioner about it.

At grassroots level our approach now is: If you do a tip tackle your getting carded. The only way to avoid a card is to realise your mistake and to get the player the right way up. A red if he is being tackled in a downwards motion towards the ground or if he is dropped in mid air.

Intent doesn't matter, nor does whether the player was injured, nor does his record/conduct in the match etc - these are matters for the disciplinary hearing not for the ref.

Well that's your own fault. What type of ejjit keeps his tippex next to his Viagra?

Yeah well, I was offended by your mate constantly trying to outdo the tutor and show off in a course which meant we had a short lunch missed out on a tea break and were still late finishing, even though he BUGGERED OFF EARLY!!

I was sat in a restaurant and got hit on the back of the head by a prawn cocktail. I looked round and this bloke shouts, 'That's just for starters!'

Quit whilst you're ahead now.

Who's the most dangerous gangster in the sea?

Why? Do you not like my Ulster accent?

I was at Dobbies (garden shop) yesterday l picking up some bulbs for the winter and I'm pretty sure I spotted Michael J Fox. At least I think it was him, he had his back to the fuchsias.

Word play is number pun to me!

Glas would. He loves that grass chewing, combine harvester polishing, sheep s****ing lifestyle


Yoko Ono has been signed up for the next series of 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!' Show bosses think she will do really well since she's been living off a dead Beatle for the last thirty years.

I must have missed that, Prop!

It was on popmaster Lucky!!

And Rava: I loves that music....front row at Glastonbury for them 3 years ago
