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 crowned IRB World Player of the year Thierry Dusautoir.


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

I think the Amlin final is the day before my birthday Rava, so sounds good to me pal

Gibbo, I have my jerseys for the season. I got some smaller that can be implemented into my jersey rotation soon enough ha

and that noody picture. I told you before, I am a grower not a show'r

Was I telling you Stag might be in a position to meet for us on the 2nd December. since he was at the sing song last year I thought it only right to invite him again.

Ulster v L. Irish Amlin Final? That would be some craic. Where is it this year?

Heino is at twickers, so suspect the Amlin may be at The Stoop Gibbo.

Ah thats what Stag meant last night. Yeah. We had a great time last Christmas in Cassidys. Was just lovely. Singing songs and getting ver ver happy.

"I love you I do., yer me bestest mate... well... me bestest Leinster mate... "

Atmosphere was brilliant.

Stag is a great man for pints and a chat. Dying to see ye all over the Christmas and before.

Did you see there is a lovely woman giving out cuddles to 1000's in Alexandra Palace?

See? Cuddles are the cure.

Just leave that one with me lads. Accommodation??

Only way I'll make it up is to skip the Leinster match bring herself and do days Christmas shopping on the Saturday. Could be an option though.

Oh Ozzy. That would be so cool. Specially if it was in The Stoop. Prayers devoted. I'll get the Ma to do a Novena. She's won us 2 x HC's and a SLAM so far. Not bad going.

Hoi Mickado. Yeah. Hugs are great. Handshakes are cold. People should always let each other know how they feel. Specially when its good. Spread de love.
Life is too short for stand-offishness(is that even a word?)

It's a defo option.

Rava, hmm. we can sort something out on the accomodation front. that will be the least of the issues.

Stag - and all others! - do any of you ever shop through amazon?

We are just about to launch a amazon affiliation in the next few days. The prices are the same as buying with them direct, the only difference is that we get a small commission payment for each purchase through our link.

So if any of you are buying Xmas presents (books, cds, blurays, Kindles), have a think about doing it through the link.

also some more great news - I have just been told that I have an invitation to go along to Glasgow Warriors for interviews and a article on their collective efforts for Movember!

Hitting the big time baby. Lets just hope they need high quality training....you know the rest.

If I could just turn my wins into money!

I do Hobo. Bought 4 things on Amazon last wee (Xmas)

Micky - yeh accommodation needs to be sorted. If we can nail that its on.

Gibbo, we'll talk about that next week. Might need you to swing it for me with Mrs R though .

Hobo, thats great news. I do most online shopping through Amazon so I will be happy to go through this site. Anything that gets ye a buck or two

I am not 100% sure but my sister might be away that weekend.

if she is, we can defo crash in hers. il suss that out alright.

Il chat with Mickado as well see what options are available.

Hobo, might be an option alright. I will keep an eye out

Hobo. De missus gets a lot of our books and sheet from Amazon & BOL.com. So, Im in man. We use it anyway. So, anything to help the cause.

I swear I'm keeping Amazon afloat with my addiction to online shopping! - count me in

Make sure you do plenty of daft stuff to store up the anecdote bank for the following weekend

Hobo - If im buying again online I'll use it

Thats a given mo chara.

regarding the amazon stuff, here are a few links we have already set up ready to go into the main article over the next 24 hours.


Kindle Keyboard 3G, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, 3G Works Globally, 6" E Ink Display

Kindle Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display

Ipad

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 X Box

Assassins Creed Revelations

Uncharted 3 : Drakes Deception

Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim


Although they may not be what you are intending on buying, I am led to believe that as long as you keep the session open after going via the link, anything you buy will be credited to us. In other words, if you click the Kindle link but then keep on browsing and end up buying a book, we would get credit.

However, i you clicked the link, then closed the window and opened up a new one through google later, we wouldnt. So make sure to go through one of the links and let me know if you buy anything as we would like to make sure its working!

Cheers!

Any chance a mod could shove a 'sticky' on the OP? Ta

done

If you had only told me 3 hours ago Hobo?

Can I ask how the whole funding thing on here works?

Just tell me if it's none of my business like but I don't really know if anyone makes any money out of the site apart from the company that hosts it.

Adam D (Hobo) wrote:done

Cheers

at the moment, we pay a company to host it, pay for the domain name, and pay for adverts on the site to be removed.

This is funded in part by adverts that you see at the top.

We are hoping that these money making activities will pay for the above costs and also potentially leave money over which we plan to use for other activities such as advertising and promotion (and potentially moving to a better platform at a later date)

Hope that clears it up - I assure you, no one is getting rich of the site (althoguh I deserve to!) - well not yet anyway

Thanks Hobo!

Must say I wasn't meaning to imply that anyone was profiteering from this venture, just wasn't sure how it worked. You lot all do this just for the love of it then?

Apart from all the extra business you have raked in for your "High quality but affordable Training" of course!



Seriously though. I think you are all doing a great job!

I think you all do a super job too - apart from the disaster that was "606 Rugby Awards"

Hobo - do you think you could ever get 606 to level where you could earn from it.?

thats the dream!

I have got a second website I am launching anyday to do with amateur football - you will all be receiving an email in the next 24 hours about it. hopefully that will afford me a living off this.

Even if you are not interested, I would appreciate if you could join up - membership numbers and their perception are a powerful thing to prospective members if you know what I mean.

You couldn't let it lie could you!

Bit of before I went home today. We'll keep in touch though.

Cari -


any requests for a pic in the bar in the next pub? Or can I leave the lovely Thierry up there?

Micky T cause we miss his face


Seriously, if you mean a rugby player....take your pick
