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 life size photo of Thierry Dusautoir.

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

Much in demand Cari!

Great!

Will you go? Nothing to lose is there?

Cari, give them my CV! I'm going to get cabin fever here soon, no one comes in and I hardly have anything to do!

Cari, how different is this one? Is it something that would interest or similar to the one you are taking?

That sounds awesome MrsP!! My fav christmas moment was my old man on guitar hero.....he wouldn't let me play for 5 songs because he was addicted!!

Lucky - sadly they can't recruit externally hence they're desperate. This is in the same place but another department. Oh well I know I'll end up somewhere.....but where...?

As long as you work in Newport you'll be sorted, Cari. The sun always shines in Newport.

Some good news for Hughie here, the OLSC now have an official London base, so if you're finding it hard to find a place that's showing Leinster games, you're sorted.

And the locals are so friendly.............................

And you're close to the passport office (sorry, that's the only positive thing I could think of)

I've just noticed that if you post a thread you can say thank you to respondents Is that new?

I've just clicked on it Cari and I don't know what it's done. It's just greyed out all the thanks boxes

It highlights the post as well Dreamer - it appears in a darker blue than the others. A strange, but pleasant quirk...

You going to the Scarlets game this weekend? I hope you're much better now by the way.

Yes. Forumotion brought that in yesterday.

ah okay tis just weird coz I can only see the thanks boxes on this thread, and now I've clicked one of them it's like they're all selected, so strange.

And aye I'm really hoping to go on Sat, had best behave myself and not over indulge at the Hallowe'en party on Friday

And I'm a bit better thanks

Well done on getting another job interview btw! Is it in a department you think you'll enjoy working in more if you do go for it?

Apparently it's so the OP can pick a "best answer" for a question asked and in your profile there's a "reputation" stat which counts your thank yous. I suspect we'll be turning it off to be honest, it's more appropriate for a Q and A type forum.

Ok here's a question: I've gone over on my ankle twice now simply walking, do I attempt to get crutches for a bit?!

Hoog's top 5 chat-up lines:
1. Did ye fart? 'Cos ye just blew me away!
2. My love for you is like diarrhoea. I just cant hold it in!
3. Is there a mirror in your knickers? 'Cos I can see myself in them!
4. Your body reminds me of a spanner. Evertime I think of you my nuts tighten up!
5. You might not be the best looking girl in here, but beauty is only a light switch away!

Where;s MrsP when you need her?! Perhaps one of those air casts, prop? But I am no expert ...

Those are abysmal.


Prop - aye crutches might be a good idea.

prop_lyd wrote:Ok here's a question: I've gone over on my ankle twice now simply walking, do I attempt to get crutches for a bit?!

Is that in the last 2 days? If so, then yes.

When mine was at it's worst I could step on a slightly uneven paving stone and go over.

I did it twice today!!

Prop you need to imobilise that ankle, quick. Maybe crutches would be appropriate.

I see a woman was killed at the O2 in Dublin last night. Apparently she fell from a fairground ride. I am assuming this is the "big wheel" in the grounds and which used to be in Belfast.

Naughty Prop

You do realise I charge double for "call-outs"?

Rather than go over everything in here Prop have a wee look at this web-site.

http://orthopedics.about.com/lr/ankle_sprain_treatment/102206/3/anklesprain_3/

Has the swelling all gone?

Are you sure those ankle ligamants are just sprained?

The nurse told me she wanted me walking within 48 hours!!

Sorry mrsP just thought you'd know best, mum and sis have said borrow my sis' crutches! Plus I'm back in the forest tonight to rest so if it's worse I can go to a quiet a'n'e! Swelling's not all gone and I'd say the pain not improving at all!! Fun times for me

Well early mobilisation is definately the way to go with NEW ankle sprains.

Given your history though I'd be happier to know those ligaments are intact.

Did you ever have a really bad sprain? ie really swollen/painful?

rugbydreamer wrote: Is it in a department you think you'll enjoy working in more if you do go for it?

Not really, so I've withdrawn from it. Apparently I can do that and it doesn't change my redeployment registration or affect the previous two posts. I remain on redeployment until I'm established in another post...it's bureaucracy gone mad really, but there we are. At least I will have a job and that's the important thing

At the start it was yeah, I'm just looking forward to proper rest for the week now. Also thinking the same as to whether there is further damage to the ligaments....x-rays only show bones don't they?!

Cheers for all the info etc guys!

Yup! Gotta go.

Talk later.

No Rav, it's not the O2 wheel or whatever it's called. She fell from an amusement ride which was in the fairground on the site of the O2, the wheel wouldn't have even been opened at that stage. Very sad stuff...

Hi all. Very sad about that woman. I've a busy few days. Refereeing tomorrow and again at the weekend. Also amazing how much I've to get done at work after being off for few days. On my lunch now.

Hello Staggy on lunch. What you having?

I've a Mueller Corner Yoghurt, a cuppa soup, an apple, a banana and a good old fashioned ham and cheese.

Sounds yummy. I had cereal, an apple and a banana.

I suppose I'd better carry on doing some chucking out now...

That's a big enough lunch Stag. I would be happy without the Muller Corner. Banana, Apple and maybe some Melon or peach. Sorted. Also thanks to those who gave Prop ankle advice. I sprained it last Saturday but should be ok for some ball tonight.

You looking forward to leaving your place Cari? I actually can't even remember working for my last company - it seems so long ago and it was only in August - 2 months only.

Thomond - it was meant to do me from 7.30 (i came in early) until 5.30. However I've been working flat out so didn't eat my yoghurt at 11s. I'll leave the banana and have it later if needs be.

I am actually Staggy. Feel a bit left out now, and I'm quite disgusted that our Head of Department hasn't bothered to check up on me. I'll be the only one left once everyone's gone - some have gone already, the last one leaves on the 30th of November - and not once has she contacted me to ask what's happening to me. She asked someone in passing the other day what the score was saying she'd heard "on the grapevine" I had another job. She always was crap with managing people anyway, but considering I'm still being paid out of her budget, you'd think she'd ask.

It's always nice to know you're in people's thoughts isn't it, Cari?

My last manager was like that too. Some people are just unfriendly like that.

I didn't eat apple or banana. I'll have the apple later. Banana tomorrow.

Is your new place big. I find it weird having such a small business now.

Yes Lucky. She's a funny one mind. She stood up at our farewell do a few weeks back and rather than thanking staff, wishing them well and the like, she started going on about how all this wasn't her fault and she has to make more cuts next year anyway - in front of London based people who are still in post.

Staggy - yeah it's a huge modern building with lots of glass panelling, slate floors, a restaurant and it's own Starbucks downstairs. It reminded me of the Guinness Storehouse a bit too. Very different from here....this is a grade 2 listed building.

don't let him intimidate you, eat your fruit if you want them!

I've been to that building Cari, it's very swish.

Thats very very dopey on her part Cari. Thats excellent Cari - big city living girl.

Lucky - it is, very.

Staggy - funnily enough, I'm going from this old building, which is in the city centre to the ultra-modern one in the middle of nowhere!

Life in the 'burbs!

Anyone about?

I'm my way back from the SW. Managed a swift before catching the train.

Cari, your (soon to be ex) manager seems more concerned with themselves. Better off out of there, and I hope you get a good crew where you're moving to.

Going to see TinTin tonight. Very excited!
