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?

Might stay up to watch it as it sounds a good game, although I also have the Currie Cup semi finals in the planner to get through as well.

Dr Brian Cox - good.

QI - cleverclogs thinking they're funnier than they are.

I like it.

Must be iced/out of the fridge or freezer Dreamer. I cant drink insipid water either. Iced, it really settles the stomach. Anyway, water before bed is a top idea. And a good sleep. You should feel better for the Final pal.

Hoi Pete.
My oldest son lives in Brighton. Loves it there. So do I. Love the Lanes. And the Prom.

Dreamer - let some coke go flat. If it makes you sick so be it, there's something you need to get rid of.

Howya Gibbo

Love the Lanes too, but didn't visit today, kept to the seafront and the pier, keep the kids entertained. Just needed a day out away from things, has done me the world of good, great fun skimming stones into the sea with the little ones, although nearly had to dive in after the littlest as she has no fear and almost went running straight in fully clothed.

Glas, I like Stephen Fry, Alan Davies and Bill Bailey, they're great. But that programme - I just don't like it.

OK

Sorry Glas - hope this makes you feel better:

Skimming stones... that is one of the most pleasurable things to do when you need to just set your mind at rest. That and chasing fearless tots who want to jump into the water.

Kids are just brilliant for altering your state of mind. They make you happy, seeing the joy they get from simple things and drive you crazy sometimes. Wonderful.

Gibbo, she is a nightmare, if there is a dangerous option and a safe option, she will choose the dangerous one every time. At the rate she's going I'll be either grey or bald before she's two!!!

QI, I like it too. Stephen Fry can be a pain in de orse though.

Saw Jonathan Woss and Jeremy Clarkson sitting in the same room (Top Gear).. I thought to myself... now is a good time for a meteorite to hit right where they were sitting. Is that wrong?

I don't know what side Wasps had out today, but it was weaker than ours. Sorry Hound. I am made up though as our usual doom mongerors hammered our young guns last week, so I hope they eat their humble pie.

We (Risca) won 31-19 up Tredegar. Result over performance. I got my 10 beer cheque win bonus finally and I was part of a pushover scrum try. Buzzing.

Night all. Hope you all had a good day.

Can you wait until they get Piers Morgan in there before the meteorite hits please Gibbo.

Congrats to the Dragons on the win

I've been consoling/bollocking a mate who allowed himself to be mugged on his doorstep last night.

No one should cop that, but he admitted he was peed and as far as I'm concerned, made himself vulnerable. While I was sympathetic, a harsh lesson was dished out by me I'm afraid. "Don't look like a victim" - he didn't like it.

Good stuff Rev, nice result fella.

Aah, she sounds like a bundle of energy and fun mate. I bet she makes you smile and laugh a lot more than frown. Jeezuz Gibbo stop getting broody forfeicsake.

I want to be an Opa! Now!

Gibbo

She's as cheeky as feic mate, I can't tell her off, if I try she gives me this little grin and cheeky eyes and I can't help laughing, I have to leave it to the wife to keep her in check!

Opa Gibbo, has a ring to it, but then so does de bath when I get out! Just kidding pal, you'll be grand when yer grand, if you get my drift.

Hi Rev Bye rev. Good win man.

Yeah Pete, Piers Morgan definitely another one for the Meteorite of Doom. Makes my skin crawl.

Story Hound? Good day man? Yeah, its hard to tell the truth sometimes to a mate. But, better in the long run. I listen to those I respect/love... even if its not easy to take sometimes. Mostly ya know it yerself, but just need to hear someone you trust to say it to you.

Jeezuz, I'm so sober its scary. Drinking a lot last night helped I find.

An Opa? Gibbo your still a big kid yourself.

Pete, my dad was rubbish at telling us off. He'd start okay but then he'd see us looking sad and he'd start smiling. He usually left it to my mum to lay down the law.

Match Of The Day!

Busy day tomorrow must go to bed. RWC Final, then refereeing a match that I already know the team want to beat seven shades of shoite outa each other. Then rest

With Captain Scarlet himself, Alan Hansen.

True Stag true.. I just want someone on my own level to play with. They normally pass me by, by the age of 4. Which is tough.

That was a great header by the Norwich CF. Old-fashioned power-header.

The Toon are doing so well this year also.

They're desperate for success on Tyneside.

Ha. Brilliant Lucky. The only differ being, you can understand Captain Scarlet. "Fla bacfoor... waaay too fla .. mumble mumble"

Hey keeping with the NZ theme...has anyone heard of the Naked and famous? Feckin great band, I wonder if GG listens to them...

In football Newcastle are my team, I don;t mention it much here. I think the relegation 3 years ago has done wonders for us. Go back to go forward.

Yeah Lucky, its yonks (50/60 years) since they won anything. And the have the most passionate fans on the Planet.

Love to see them make Europe (CL or EC) at least.

Gibbo, I remember once Alan Hansen describing an upcoming fixture as a 'potential potato skin.' I wish they hadn't corrected him!

I haven't heard of them, Rodders, but there's a NZ band called the Phoenix Foundation who are great. I had an email the other day saying they'll be on Later with Jools Holland next Friday.

You'd be a great Opa Gibbo. All the practice you've had with the mites in here.

Shusssh Glas... don't spoil me fun.

Are we all looking forward to the Final tomorrow? I pray France play a blinder. Play tight and catch em on the break. Just hope its a great game. Thats all I want.

I loved what Clerc said : "I don't feel like I am wearing a losers skin" Got to love the French.

Villllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! My team.

Heard on the radio that Villa had a man sent off and it was a shocking decision. Spear tackle I think they said

Its all about which team turns up . . . . I'm talking about Ireland, not France. I think for quite a while now what you see is what you get with France

Bu88er!

Justice!

Bu88er!

They have the personnel, that's for sure, Gibbo. It sounds like Lievremont has handed it over to the players, which could be disastrous or an unintentional stroke of genius. But for me I'm happy whoever wins. Who could begrudge New Zealand the Cup when they routinely produce such excellent rugby?

Me. Cheating bar stewards.

Ask a rhetorical question...!

My nephew coaches WBA youths. Always knew that boy would make it. It was his dream since he was a chisler. He stuck to it day-in day-out, in Dublin and worked his way up. Really admire him. Never drank. Never smoked - despite all the peer-pressure... Trained all day - every day. Did all the badges. Studied all the managers and hung around the LOI coaches. He was and still is obsessive about the game. Always gives me a shout when Villa play them. Cheeky sod will send me an email soon.

Oh dear, does Gary Lineker write his own script? "Wolves versus Swans - quite possibly a mis-match in nature..."

What a sequence of saves!

I admire that kind of commitment. Single-mindedness.

He's a hell of a keeper, Vorm. The Netherlands' number two keeper apparently, so God knows how Swansea got hold of him.

God bless Gary. Not the most exciting man on Earth. In fact, if Lawro, Hansen and him asked me out for a pint, Id say... thanks lads but Im staying in and washin me hair.

WOW! What a comeback.

I think Lawro would be alright for a few pints. He'd reminisce about when he had a 'tache and hair like a thatched roof.

Right, time for S4C and the Dragons v Picwns Llundain!
