The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Thu Nov 17, 2011 6:01 pm

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 Micky T above the bar!

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

Ale

Sicky T - what's the budget per night for those hotels in da 'Diff ?

by mickyt Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:35 pm

It's all good Penfro. He booked the Maldron apparently. I seen it on his facebook so thanks anyway.

Cardiff folks. can you do me a favour?

can you facebook me some good hotels that a mate of mine wants to stay in for a stags next March.

It needs to be a central one

That's it then, conclusive proof. As a seasoned SA drinker, he will have had his distraction strategies in place.

Woah woah woah hold up there!! Yes I am a seasoned SA drinker BUT if I let ones rip like that night I admit to it and am proud...I believe one of the two micks/hoog admitted it was them at the end of the night!!

Afternoon regs....Cari you should swap some of the buttons on the keyboard about and then fart in the air conditioning system before turning it on full.

by Suspicious lurker Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:49 pm

I got sick on the train on the way home yesterday

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:50 pm

Twas probably just a bumpy ride

by mickyt Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:58 pm

Prop. it was not me. I think I know Mickado's brand as well and don't think it was him either.

Maybe it was Cari.

Hughie, you are classy. I nearly got sick on the train that time as well (right before I got videod getting sick outside wembeley)

Good time up north?

and Penfro, I have had some good drinking sessions in recent weeks and all sick free.

Box of lego in the morning but no sick

What line were you on Hughie?

I did some 'lane marking' out of the window of a taxi going through Chelsea many moons ago. I always choose the best neighbourhoods.

You should have seen the look on the driver's face as he said: "Noooooo... please... not in my taxi please!"

I think I managed a pathetic sounding "Sorry mate.." Bloody Australian Baastards! Laugh

by prop_lyd Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:07 pm

Maybe it was Cari!! I know ti wasn't me because i'd have remembered and been proud!! Plus you didn't smell them in my house so it couldn't have been me!!

by mickyt Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:08 pm

well by that theory, then I or Mickado couldn't have been the culprits either

by red_stag Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:12 pm

When I spew up I can feel it coming a mile off so can usually save it somewhat.

Mick remember last year in Dublin coming back in taxi. Gave the driver a tap, he pulled in, I got out of the taxi and sprayed the place. Problem solved

Smile

by mickyt Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:14 pm

Eh Stag, that wasn't a taxi driver. that was my mate who was a bouncer in a night club. remember we waited for him to finish up so he could give us a lift home? cause it was snowing and there weren't many taxi's floating about.

But I agree you were very controlled in that situation.

by red_stag Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:15 pm

Ah yea I didn't know him from Adam though.

by mickyt Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:15 pm

that's his name

Adam

Not really. but yeh all contributed to a good night

by red_stag Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:17 pm

It really was. The day I wore a Leinster jersey*

*actually I just said I would, I never actually wore it.

by prop_lyd Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:17 pm

Ah good call Micky-T it couldn't have been you two either which leaves us with Cari/Hoog/Stag....if it was Gibbo or Rava they'd have fallen asleep part way through it!!

by red_stag Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:21 pm

Wasn't me at all - don't be all pointing the finger. I remember that someone hd owned up to this before.

by Suspicious lurker Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:27 pm

I was saved it well yesterday, knew it was coming so headed away to the toilet and spewed. Stood up, thought I was finished, I wasn't. That bit got messy

by Glas a du Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:28 pm

How long ago was this fart? laughing

by MrsP Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:29 pm

I have to say, any passing potential punters may not be too encouraged to join the pub with the current topics of conversation.

Whistle

Yeah I know someone admitted but cba to read back!!

Ah this radio 2 request jukebox thing is fun Very Happy

MrsP...it's normal bloke pub conversations: beer, rugby, excrement, women!!

by MrsP Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:38 pm

Hmmm!

All the wonders of life Smile

I've decided I will try an ale when I'm in Chester - anyone recommend a good one.

by prop_lyd Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:41 pm

MrsP wrote:Hmmm!

Just count yourself lucky Gibbo or Rava haven't stirred to go all Laurel and Hardy on this!!

Stag: Dog

is probably the best to reccomend one, I really like Hobgoblin but ti's rare to find it on draught.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:43 pm

http://chesterales.co.uk/ ? Ale

by Gibson Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:43 pm

I just want to have it written down for the record, that Rava and I were elsewhere. We were in a place where people didn't fart. It was that posh.

by MrsP Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:44 pm

I don't think Stag should be discussing Ale.

Not on an empty stomach!

by Glas a du Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:48 pm

Au contraire Mrs P, au contraire.

Stag - PM Hound. There's nothing he doesn't know about ales or the places that sell them.

Personally, when I was there Wrexham Lager was still going, which was a family brewery started by Czechoslovakians, so it was proper lager. As to ales Bass, Hancocks HB, Old Speckled Hen.

by mickyt Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:48 pm

Off Playing a wee bit of snooker and the likes Gibbo if I am not mistaken

Is that the ladies loo? Trust you two....

by PenfroPete Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:53 pm

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

by Glas a du Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:55 pm

Just the tonic I needed: "Carry on up the Khyber"

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:13 pm

Oops, looks like the naughty step for Jiffy: J Davies

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:15 pm

And no John Afoa for Ulster this weekend Rolling Eyes

by MrsP Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:18 pm

Who Penfro?

by MrsP Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:20 pm

Never was going to be Asbo.

Unfortunately the very inconsiderate Kaino did not check our fixture list before organising his wedding.

Typical, eh?

Now if that had happened to one of the Tigers' front row there would have been accusations of men on grassy knolls!

by PenfroPete Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:22 pm

Hoof Hearted ?

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:24 pm

Gutting, MrsP, that will be a massive loss, I would've thought?

by Adam D Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:24 pm

Afternoon all - how are the Mo's coming along? mo1

Having a revealing of mine later tonight - stay tuned! (or not if you value your sanity!)

Doing a feature with Glasgow Warriors next week on their Mo's - so if you have any quetions for them, please PM me

Also - any feedback about the grassroots email I sent out last night would be good. I've only had one response and it was a moan about emailing him! 3450 emails and 1 response!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:26 pm

Don't think I got the grassroots email, Hobo?

by MrsP Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:31 pm

No email for me either Hobo!

You couldn't have sent the email to one address 3450 times?

Might explain why the guy was unhappy!

by MrsP Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:33 pm

Afoa will indeed be a loss but I'm trying to look at it as a positive that he came early.

Better to have had him for 2 games before he was due to start.

Really could have been doing with him though right enough!

by Suspicious lurker Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:36 pm

No email for me either

here it is guys:

Dear Members,

As you know, the 606v2 website has now been running for nearly 10 months and we have all enjoyed the huge growth that has happened.

We are now close to three and a half thousand members and look to continue to grow in to the new year. We have many exciting ventures planned, all of which you will hear about soon.

The first of which, is of a sister website which is launching tomorrow.

www.v2grassroots.co.uk is a new website that is going to become the leading amateur football site in the UK. Currently, the few amateur football websites out there are very regional - the new site aims to bring together clubs from all over the UK and Eire, to share best practice and tips.

It will be suitable for team members to chat as well as hearing announcements from their coaches.

Hopefully you will all support the new website and take a look. It has a front end web presence as well as a familiar looking forum attached.

I would urge you all to join and help make it as successful as 606v2. Even if you only want to come on to chat about football, you will be welcomed. And as we all know, as soon as people see others joining, a snowball effect happens - so please join and say hello!

Please feel to tell any club you are part of about it to - we will be contacting them soon anyway!

v2grassroots will hopefully help bring new members to 606v2 as well - so lets make it a success together.

So join now and thank you for your support!

Afternoon all. Apparently a certain Mr Dallaglio is in our building for meetings with senior management. What it’s about I don’t know but we are a major sponsor of rugby.

Excitement all the way here! Yesterday we had a bomb scare when a suspicious package was discovered on the scanners used in the post room. I’ve seen the X-ray of it. It certainly looked dodgy, with what appeared to be a detonator wired to what could have been an accelerant and then into the main body of the package Shocked

Saints v Scarlets at the pub in Ealing later. But work to do now.

Laters.

Dog

by Gibson Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:44 pm
