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 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 played Chip the Teacup in Beauty and the Best. I also played the Ghost of Christmas Past in A Christmas Carol

Glas if you're about, it has a bit about what's helped improve his defence in it too.

Good god, common sense in a rugby coach, whatever next!

I was Long John Silver's parrot in Treasure Island

Political reporter on news at 10 with fledgling mo and a poppy. It looked an awkward juxtaposition.

It is what it is Willser. I used to weep in angst. But now, I laugh ver ver loudly.

We are - our lowest common denominator. You are. I am. Don't even attempt to think you are above it all. Theirin lies madness.

Deal with it. Get into X-Factor and Z-listers moaning for makeup and hair-straighteners (you have one) on an remote desert Island somewhere. Let it flow girl. Don't fight it anymore.

Some musings to reflect on...

"The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing." (Edmund Burke)

"Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity... and I'm not sure about the former." (Albert Einstein)

Asbo do you want to do an after dinner speech on Friday night? Or any other reg for that matter.

Dear Willy,
You can quote and pontificate all you like. Wont change the Status Quo.

If it makes you feel intellectual, superior and safe. Stick with it. Its a student's prerogative.

Wont last long though. Trust me.

God I feel soo old...

Kia. I see so many possible in-flight crashes there. Jeezuz, thanks for that woman.

Gibbo, my shout

Glas, This Friday night? What's the occasion?

Morning all:

Yes. The South Wales Texel Club Annual dinner. Just need a bit of entertainment after dinner. You up for it?

Shall I bring the parrot costume?

I give up!

Just recite one of your poems Glas. I'm sure any of them would go down well.

Morning

Woop!

That's all.

Sorry, man, it's just that I'm more of an Exmoor Horn kind of fella than a Texel chap, and I'd feel kinda dirty switching sides

Asbo, you are a gentleman. I respect your principles.

Morning Cari - any incidents on the footpath this morning?

Bore da pawb / good morning all. Really, really looking forward to the Heino / Amlin weekend now - not long to go and it's all starting to come together!

Morning all, apparently we are to have a bright sunny day.

Glas/Asbo,
A sheep is a sheep. Especially when it is facing away from you

Thanks for reminding me lucky... I need to get my tips in.

I really have absolutely no idea about some of the teams - especially the ones from France. Would you say that the Pro12 teams are a little more battle hardened than some of the other HC clubs who haven't played half a dozen games so far this season?

No, no, no - only when its back legs are stuck down the front of yer welly boots

Breaker the French Clubs have played about 10 games so far this season, compared to Pro 12 and Jeff where most teams have played 8 games.
The French clubs will all be hard to beat at home against anyone but they are not the best travelers.

Morning all: gutted I missed the conversation about character played on stage: I could have taken up a whole page with my performances

Al Murray was fantastic! Incredible improvised comedy. Just watching a trailer for this Rev's sitcom, looks quite good.

That's what I meant but I didn't want to be that graphic this early in the morning.

Gotcha Rava - I guess I'll need to follow this thread even more closely. Starting to get a feel for the clubs but it's quite overwhelming... the number of teams and players. Who are the best Irish/Scottish/Welsh/English travellers - traditionally? Any teams who stand out and do well in France/Italy consistently?

Munging all,

Well, what to do?Single for a whole week,Mrs M has taken a holiday to compensate for the Rugby OD&my month in rehab in Dec/Jan.May be a bit of the game this evening and tomorrow on TV;defo on Sat, but not ASM's win in Norn Iron, unfortunately.

Gibbo, my flight gets in to Soton at 2pm on the 9th;bring a super8 for the road movie"Fear and Loving in Culmstock,Llanelli,Cardiff,Bath'n'Exeter"

Chef, I'm going to Exeter that day as well, now I was going to get the train, but fear and loading in las Vegas sound much more fun......

Dinner will be awaiting your collective arrival from 7.30pm onwards Kiwi and I will be in the pub slaving over a hot stove all afternoon

Have to say the meet will be epic.

That's a hell of a lot of rugby. How many days has autumn again?

talk about overkill...

So play one small nation and then go back to the same three nations that are seen every year. That'll be interesting

I'ts commercial Munsty. Maximising income. I'm sure if they could, they would play the big three twice each autumn.

Oh I know...... Just wanted to give out is all. It just all gets so monotonous. Wait till we see the Welsh schedule. I'm guessing it'll be the same apart from a a different lower level side.
