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?

Puma,
Windoze 7 Update bulliten for web-camera showing top of head only:

1. If stool/chair/toadstool is adjustable - please adjust to optimal height for web cam display.
2. If PC table can be lowered - follow user instructions for that application.

If options 1 or 2 are not available in your country...

Then
3. Put a large comfy cushion under yer orse.

Afternoon all, afraid I've been kept busy at work and "outside" and not made it into the pub before today.

One for the wall though, just for any Masterchef fans https://www.606v2.com/t16253-qa-with-greg-wallace-and-john-torode#627817

Pete, I see that fella who may or may not be Irish is keeping you busy....

Not any more he's not

kiwireddevil.... the silent assassin.

Gibbo - I could saw some off the bottom of this desk, but it also only arrived today and was assembled with even more cursing and swearing! And the drawer is on the wrong side Instructions very badly printed on the box consisted of hieroglyphics intelligible only to ancient egyptians. Defo need one of them hi-tec chairs to go with my hi-tec PC.

Erm, by the way, any thoughts on how said PC might access next weekend's interpro on-line?

Fella who may or may not be irish? Not called sexton's-son or something like that is he?!

Puma, Sounds like an Ikea desk. My heart goes out to you. As for a Hi-tec/adjustable/pneumatic chair, I have to say Ikea do good ones. Assembled with minimal fuss. I have 2 - one each for meself and MrsG.
We have that old game of changing the car seat position/mirrors, every odd day and it was not going to happen with our PC chair/s!

Seriously pal, get a good one. Its so important for your back, posture and health. As I have been informed by my physio. That was the problem with my back - bad positioning and the chair at the wrong height and the wrong angle of tilt.

No probs now. Its grand.

gibbo, my main problem is having to tilt my head back to be able to see the screen through the 'reading' bit of my specs - boy, does that make my neck ache! Swivelly chair defo next on the list.

Got the Sky+ box set for the match, off to the pub shortly. I smiled when Cari suggested yesterday that I might see the match there! Our local has no TV, no muzak and certainly no goon in a black overcoat on the door. We just talk at each other - without having to shout!

Sounds like where i'm off to in a bit puma....pub in the middle of the forest (4 houses by it), open fire, pool table, scrumpy and very old jukebox will = one drunken prop tonight

Woooo it's nearly Scrum V time!!!

I'm actually staying in Uni on Friday night to watch this game

No-one else around, but my macbook is fried- they don't even know, looks like it will be getting replaced- and I can't get regional channels on my TV coverage so I'm just gonna watch Edinburgh vs Leinster in here and get a ready meal from the shop next door at half time.

How depressing is that?!

This probably sounds very self indulgent, but who cares. I am sitting in my house burning logs that I cut from trees growing on my field. It's a very satisfying feeling...

Hold that thought, it sounds like there's an atmosphere at Firhill!

Is Duncan Jones the best scrummaging loose head in the league?

Just been offered a hospitality box for PYS tomorrow

Anyone got a link to the Leinster match?!?!?

Glas: if you carry on this way you'll be talking to yourself and seem old and senile therefore I'll message a reply and say I've been impressed by Morgan's kicking so far, his defence on the other hand....

p.m for sickado

I'll fit right in here then.

Come on Leinsturrr!

59m kick! And 5m spare with barely a breeze!

Matthew Morgan if only he can bulk up a bit it's another for the future!!

Matthew Morgan has got a helluva boot on him. Watch out for him world!

No! Nononono! Haven't we learned from Shane and BOD. He will mature with age.

I just cringe whenever anyone of normal size runs at him!! Do people reckon he'll stay at 10 or get moved to 15?

He's 19. Give the lad time.

6 - 12 thanks to Morgan's "bionic boot". Glasgow have had all the territory. I don't think the O's have played that well so far.

Im loving this Scots Gaelge.

Mon Leinster !

Believe.

P.S. Cari I love you.

Got me Welsh chocleh.

Yeah I know, hence why i said one for the future...he's obv got something special just hope he doesn't get run over by people which'll knock his confidence.

Anywho......time for me to go into the deepest darkest forest for scrumpy and banter have a good evening all if I come online later I won't be sober:

Gibbo, you got a link for this mate?

You know Morgan could be another Gavin Henson - they're both a product of Brynteg Comp and Bridgend Athletic...I just hope he doesn't end up like Gav!

You're welcome Gibbo.

BOD was always a very, very solid lad Glas. Short but built like a barrel.

Visser in for the first try. Gotta make the first-up tackle on him- lethal.

Visser is brilliant. So strong and what a step. Leinster fell off 2 tackles tho. Good try all the same.

Can see a yellow in this for Edinburgh. Pretty even game so far.

Dom Ryan at 7. The change is in. Hope he puts it up to Jenno. Really do.

Good man Johnny 10-9.

Murrayfield is like a graveyard.

Mick. I'll send you a PM and you can get BBC Alba. All the BEEB stations, all ITV and S4C for the future.

Yeah, but he lost his edge when he overbulked, as did Shane, until they trimmed back a bit found their optimum weight.

PM sent Mick. It only takes minutes and its set up for good.

Mon Leinster!

Cari, confession. I ate the caramel one last night in one go.

Gibbo you are actually...

Good morning all... just woke up. What have been the scores so far in the Pro12?

Just watching the 4N match, soft try to Beau Scott and Oz lead NZ 6-0 after 15 mins.

In the cricket, Australia needs 62 off 85 with 5 wickets to spare to beat SA in the ODI series decider.

De Luca and Visser causing us all sorts of probs. Scotland must put Visser straight into their team. He's an animal. Just missed another try there. Bad pass.

13-19. HT.

Evening gang

Just had a chicken kebab and chips followed by Waitrose mascarpone and lemon curd cheesecake. Delicious.

Sale Sharks 6 Leicester Tigers 3 in the AP.

What are the current Rabo scores?

Nah Cari darlin,
This is me. In every sense of the word.

http://www.sesamestreet.org/muppets/cookie-monster

Breaker - it's 12 all in the O's game. We've been a bit poo tonight to be honest.

I Cookie Monster. He's great.

Pete - still 12 all from penalties.

O's get a forward sent off (as usual). try from Grey makes it 19 - 12.

Got the second half of the Embra v Leinster game on the tv now and Sale v the Tigers on the 'puter.

Who says men can't multi task!!!!!

Visser just walked through Leinster, shocking attempts at tackling!!!
