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?

Dreamer. Its just magic eh pal?

I'm in ecstasy. Oh what a beautiful Planet. When left unspoiled.

Superman's Pad!

Kiwi - Diwali is NOT the Festival of Light in W. London.

It is a contest about which family can make the most noise.

Our world is beauitful Gibbo, don't always remember that but I oh so love to be reminded. Stunning.

You're not wrong. It sounds like Sirte must have a week ago outside

Ok all I've decided on my December plan:

- Fly to Cardiff on Friday. Go to Blues v Edinburgh in HEC
- Head to Llanelli. Scarlets v Munster in HEC.
- Head to Bath. Bath v Leinster in HEC.
- Head to Exeter. Chiefs v Dragons in Amlin.
- Head to Chester. See Munsty.
- Fly back to Ireland.

I would gladly die for that job. No pay. Id pay them.

That isn't work related Gibbo. Its about seeing all you lot and taking in some rugby.

That sounds a brilliant plan Stag!

Hadn't realised Blues were playing on the Fri, I might very well go to that.

If you need to somewhere to stay on the Fri then you're more then welcome to crash at mine and just get the train down to Llanelli with me on the Sat.

Make not






Missed the Frozen Planet . I'll have to catch it on the iplayer.

I haven't had a drink in 6 days. My liver wants to me.

We are back in Love.

Hughie - I somehow don't quite believe that.....

If it's true though then good luck :


I am permenantly off beer (for the forseeable future anyway). It does not like me anymore.

No one believes me when I say this, not drank in near two weeks now ill have ye,know

Well if Hughie's not drinking then I'll step into the breach...

Actually make that and that'll do nicely

Evening all

Good man.

Hi Swanny.

ha, go for it Swanny

How's your toothache? all gone I hope.

That's fab Hughie, seriously good luck with it

I went all of September alcohol free (well okay I had two drinks). Felt so much better for it, saved a load of dosh too.

Jeezuz. Amy killed by legal alchohol. How ironic.

The rain seems to have 'dampened' the enthusiasm for letting off fireworks, kiwi.



Might get some sleep before midnight.

Don't worry swanny i'll help you drink for hughie too

Still quite loud here. Let it rain.

Ggggrrrrrr grumble grumble grumble, leave me alone

Bit of a contradiction here Hughie - Christmas is in December

Good man Prop!

Dentist next week Dreamer My own fault, I grind my teeth in my sleep and it looks like I've cracked another one. Par for the course

Get a mouth guard, Swanny - not like rugby players ones - but it will help you to stop cracking your teeth. I had one and only had to wear it for a short while and it broke the habit.

Must admit though - it is a bit of a passion killer .....

Anyone got any comments on this mutt

awwww I'm in LOVE. I want that dog. Curse my living in a flat

My uncle has a collie, and they are absolute stunners to have as a pet. Completely mental mind you, but utterly brilliant.

You thinking of rehoming him Kia? He looks like he'd be a joy to look after.




and with that I really am off, sleepy time.

I've got a mouth guard Kia, most definitely not attractive!

I can't get used to it. The number of times I've woken up in the morning only to find the wretched thing under my pillow, under my ribs, on the floor, anywhere except where it's supposed to be!!

Thanks Dreamer, and g'nite.

Kia, I suspect you already know what the opinion will be. Charlie looks like he would fit into your home like a glove.
I'd go for it. Collies are brilliant pets. Lucky you.

Agree with Rava, Charlie looks perfect, for all parties. Go for it

Ah Charlie is lovely.

Christ, dont get me broody now Kia. MrsG and I look at vids of dogs and... NO. We need our freedom. That's it. I'm putting her foot down.

Kia, Charlie looks gorgeous! Have to say though, be prepared to keep him entertained. My sister has a border collie/golden retriever cross and the characteristics of two working breeds in one hyperactive dog is exhausting! Bradley came to stay with me last Friday when his house was being invaded by a couple of dozen teenagers for my niece's 16th birthday party - don't know who had the more hectic evening, me or Rosanne! At least Bradley didn't sneak bottles of vodka into the house and then

Ah there's nothing quite matches the affection a dog gives you. My wee man is lying across my lap as I type this. Blydi snoring though.

has to be done Puma. All part of growing up.

Oh sheet. Hannah will be 16 next birthday!

Evenin Puma. Evenin Rav.

I see the Yanks have started making beer after 200 years. Novel idea.

http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20111024-a-craft-beer-road-trip-in-americas-northeast

They say they now have 8 of the top 10 beers in the World. Must be like the World Series so.

This is all Puma's fault!!

She emailed me a couple of weeks agto asking WHEN we were going to get another dog. I passed the email on to M and she thought "Oh good, we can talk dogs now". We went to look at some border collie pups and have reluctantly said No as we really got a lot of satisfaction from rehoming. So we have been trawling the sites since then.

I have had border collies in the past, and yes they are mental. But last time I had four teenagers and a hectic lifestyle. I live a calmer more reflective life now . Also BCs simply need mental stimulation. So we hide the morning biccies around the garden ...

Anyway, we had said happy with Collie X but not pure BC but now ..

Think we might phone in the morning.

Thanks for your comments

Night night

Evening Gibbo.
Do you remember Spot nearly taking your hand off and then lying on top of you five minutes later?

American Beer? I am Bud fan I will admit. Not a patch on Guinness but a good thirst quencher in the SUmmer time.

Yeah Rav, I remember. MrsP's dog too. I think they have an initial aversion to Leinster fans. Then, as they get to realise we don't bite - they get to love us. I think.

I drank 3 pitchers of Bud in the States and all I did was pee. No affect. Went on the Vodka.

Its good to see them develop real beer though. I'll be trying that next time we visit.

Rava, my dog went mental when I came home!! She's spent the whole evening on my lap or running round me!!

Americans cannae make beer - not proper beer anyway. On our sojourn south of the border last week, Himself went a bit loopy over a pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord that he was served in a pub in Richmond (Yorkshire, not Surrey). But, the pub itself was crummy and a local who sat waaaay too close was very smelly, so the female contingent voted that we find some lunch elsewhere. Had some trouble dragging him out and he kept on about that bloody beer for the rest of the weekend! He says the Scots can make the best whisky (whiskey?? what's that?) but they not decent beer.

Tintin is awesome. It's the best computer animation I've seen in a film and it is wonderfully true to the old Tintin books in style. It's good for kids as well. A real movie for the whole family.

What I don't understand is that there was hardly anyone there for Tintin, yet Paranormal Activity was nearly full. What has gone wrong with our generation?

Its Halloween in 4 days time Munsty. People in more in the mood for horror movies. Were it Christmas or the Summer, the adventure movie would sell better.

Munsty, they used Motion Capture for it. Basically all the movements in it were done by a real life person and converted to animation.

Morning

Pishing down here today.

Morning Cari, Thomond et al. A wee bit damp here this morning too.

I discovered that the little ramp outside our back door is a bit slippery this morning as I went for a little unintended slide (managed to not fall over at least) down in while putting the rubbish out.
