The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by **Pal Joey** Tue 08 Nov 2011, 7:39 am

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 picture of newly retired Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas.

Also a special picture of Thomas Domingo and wishing him all the best on a speedy recovery.

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

I don't know about Mrs P but I have no idea why they are called "Kings Lynn" Gonad Protectors. There are, however several other East Anglian towns better suited IMO

"Baldock" Gonad Protectors

"Fackenham" Gonad Protectors

or

"Great and Little Plumstead" Gonad Protectors

to name but three.

Is chess a sport?

by WillyGilly Tue 08 Nov 2011, 9:36 pm

No its a game.

by Guest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 9:37 pm

That's what I thought Willy. But it is listed under the other sports section on The Guardian's website Headscratch

It's defo a sport.

by Guest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 9:53 pm

how is it definitely a sport though?

by **Ozzy3213** Tue 08 Nov 2011, 9:57 pm

sport (spôrt, sprt)
n.
1.
a. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
b. A particular form of this activity.
2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
3. An active pastime; recreation.

Think it qualifies as a sport.

by Guest Tue 08 Nov 2011, 10:00 pm

so it comes under number 3.

I wouldn't really qualify that as a sport though, but then guess that's just me.

Anyway, sleep time for me, am shattered. Nos da.

by Rava Tue 08 Nov 2011, 10:01 pm

Thanks Pete thumbsup

OK Dreamer?

In any sport don't you play a game? So a game of chess is like a game of rugby or badminton. Therefore it's a sport. Smile

by **Ozzy3213** Tue 08 Nov 2011, 10:03 pm

I'd say it qualifies under point 1a as well, as there is nothing to state what the extent of the physical activity must be, and the act of moving the pieces is physical activity, however small that activity may be.

by WillyGilly Tue 08 Nov 2011, 10:05 pm

Sex and reading can both come in under 3 are they sports?

Parden the pun by the way.

Don't worry, I've come out in sympathy for you. Spent the night in A&E, morphine, X ray and a finger up the bum. They did send me home but with so many pills I'm rattling.

You sound as though you've been through the wars. Is the back pain rugby related? Did you do any singing when the finger was inserted?
music

moooooon riverrrrrrr music

Had the same years ago when I had appendicitis. Shocked

Hope all is OK, mate.

by Glas a du Wed 09 Nov 2011, 5:10 am

Yes, back pain. Never thought it would lead to me losing my virginity. No fractures, that's the good news. May need an MRI scan. Got to say these pain killers are good. I know what my clients are on about now with their morphine and their DFs!

by **Pal Joey** Wed 09 Nov 2011, 5:23 am

Yeah, I was on some strong stuff after I broke my leg in three places. I had to take them at 6am, 2pm, 9-10pm... I was always counting down the minutes. That wonderful feeling of the pain diminishing about 15 mins after you take them.

I had 2 or 3 courses - and when I went in for more the Doctor just looked at my glazed eyes and said "I think we ought to stop them now..." and typed something in the computer which is visible to every chemist in Australia. Crying or Very sad

Bugger!

(However, it's better not to develop a dependency... they are very dangerous drugs if used for an extended period of time) warning

by Glas a du Wed 09 Nov 2011, 5:42 am

I know I see the consequences daily. It breaks your heart sometimes. I had a client once, young girl. The first time she came to see me it was for some minor stuff whilst she was a juvenile. She was a stunner. I saw that girl get into more and more Poopie. She lost the flush of youth, her curves and the spark in her eyes whilst still a teenager. I got her off a robbery charge, not that she hadn't done it, she was under the duress of her dealer, and within a month of her release she was dead. 21 years old. Kids get told drugs can kill you. They try it, they don't die, whats the problem? They should get told it doesn't kill straight away. It kills them all in the end though. First it kills their independence, then their personality and eventually them. The answer? Legalise cannabis and tax it, if they can develop a breathalyser for it.

And that was just for the sore big toe, eh? Wink

by Glas a du Wed 09 Nov 2011, 5:47 am

It felt like a big toe!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Wed 09 Nov 2011, 5:50 am

Ouch, you're making me wince!

mug

anyone?

by **Pal Joey** Wed 09 Nov 2011, 5:56 am

Tragic story Glas. The independence and personality go very quickly and as you say, it could be years of misery and a slow demise... or like that unfortunate girl - it can happen relatively quickly.

Asbo - Laugh

he should have told the doctor that the Ulster badge arrived in the mail as promised by Notch. No need to look there...

by Glas a du Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:05 am

Tragedy to comedy in the bat of an eye!

by **Pal Joey** Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:08 am

Smooth transition - I should have used a separator.

* * * * *

How is the badge by the way? Still shiny?

by Glas a du Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:09 am

Pride of place.

by **Pal Joey** Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:13 am

Good stuff. What's the connection... or do you just like their style?

So when they play the Scarlets - you're hoping it's a quality game but Scarlets win by not too much?

by littleswannygirl Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:21 am

Morning gents, pint of cuppa

please.

My body clock has gone nuts. I've been up since 5, which is not like me at all! Shocked my newsagent anyway Laugh

Sorry to hear you're suffering Glas, Hug

by Glas a du Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:25 am

They are unique, a regional side which spans two countries. I have to say I was very ignorant before 606 as their history but now I find Ulster rugby fascinating. I also like how touchy and passionate their fans are. When the offer came I thought why the heck not?

by Glas a du Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:26 am

Shocked my newsagent anyway

Why, what did you do to him? Shocked

by **Pal Joey** Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:33 am

Morning Swanny,
I was sorry to hear the news the other day. Main thing is not to worry, keep your chin up, and press on with something new. I'm sure you have oodles of talent for many things... you've just got to be realisitic and narrow things down

by littleswannygirl Wed 09 Nov 2011, 6:40 am

Set myself up for that comment didn't I? Smile

Morning LB, and thank you. I'm not unduly concerned and feeling reasonably positive. It was just a job, nothing more, the only thing I'll miss is some of the people. Time to move on to better things Very Happy
