The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Mon 21 Nov 2011, 4:23 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 pictures of Rhys Priestland, Cian Healy, or the special one of Charlize Theron and Gibbo above the bar!

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

Ale

Don't worry as, you told me all about it

You've done a sterling (Stirling?) job, Asbo. And the weekend coincides with the landlord's 10th anniversary party! Can't fault it! Ale

I don't really mind what way we travel or what we do. Im just uber confused as to whats happening after Scarlets v Munster.

Disney'll go down a treat so long as singing is permitted!!

I THINK everyone's gathering in Cardiff, some are going to the gig and others are just 'hanging around' and then after the gig it's piling into either my car or Asbo's minibus and Exeter 'ho!!

Does Chef

have any spare tickets going does anyone know?!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Thu 24 Nov 2011, 10:37 am

Prop, he was trying to source as many as he could get his paws on, last I heard

by red_stag Thu 24 Nov 2011, 10:37 am

Prop, whats the point in Disney without singalong.

by Suspicious lurker Thu 24 Nov 2011, 10:38 am

Here it is,

Asbo leaves london at 11 am on Friday morning with Pete

People begin arriving in Ewe Tree from around 4 (including myself chef and Gibbo )

Friday night, cardiff based regs are doing the Blues game, whereas us in Devon will be getting pished in the local (best have fosters on tap buddy)

Saturday morning, I'm on breakfast (i promise not to poison anyone) and were are getting the train from Tiverton Parkway to Llanethelllliieeeeyyyyyyyy VIA cardiff, where we will meet cardiff people

After the game we are going to see the Quo and Kim Wilde in cardiff, ( it'll be a laugh I swear) then back to Ewe Tree

Sunday morning, breakfast again and a minibus (i think) to Barf and back to Sandy Park (great little stadium) where I will disappear chasing an older woman for 80 minutes then back to the local for pints all night

Monday, do whatever the flock you want

by Rava Thu 24 Nov 2011, 10:42 am

I am now getting seriously seriously jealous of you lot. Cry

Hughie, I wonder who the "older" woman is? Given you mental age sometimes that could be anyone who has reached the onset of puberty Wink

As such I have room in my car for up to two stragglers to go from Cardiff/ Newport to Bath. I have 8 terrace tickets, 2 stand season tickets and 2 extra stand tickets for KIA, Dreamer and KIA already have the rest of the stand tickets for the Scarlets match.

There are some crackers there, Glas. I remember being told of one from a church newsletter, I don't know how genuine it is:

'As it is Easter Sunday, Mrs White will come forward and lay an egg on the altar.'

This one is for Micky T. Mind you I expect him to reproduce them all on FB at some stage.

Afternoon all.

Right train times to Llanelli!

If I remember correctly Asbo said you guys were getting the train that reaches Llanelli at 14:07 on Saturday the 10th. if that is so, people getting the train from Cardiff would need to get the 12:08 (I think from memory). It doesn't usually take 2 hrs to get to Llanelli, it's more like 1hr 20mins, but there'll be a change and a bit of a wait at Swansea I assume, I'll double check all this though.

Glas - a word of caution if you really want to taxi people to and from the station to the stadium, the traffic at least an hour and a half up to kick off is an absolute nightmare (which I'm sure you know anyway!) and then you might struggle to get a parking spot. Reckon we'd be much better off getting taxi's straight there, but tis up to you really, tis v nice of you to offer Smile

by prop_lyd Thu 24 Nov 2011, 12:42 pm

Ah miss willaboobie I love her so!!

Some of those statements are cracking too!!

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu 24 Nov 2011, 12:44 pm

You'll be getting the train from Cardiff yourself, won't you, Dreamer?

by red_stag Thu 24 Nov 2011, 12:44 pm

I'll be getting the train from Cardiff too Luckless. I think Penfro too.

by Glas a du Thu 24 Nov 2011, 12:45 pm

Aye OK Dreamer. There had been talk of getting an earlier train and going for a pre match pint/watching the Connacht game in a Pub. If you are cutting it that fine though, I will meet you there, just giving 4 of you a lift there or back because of town centre traffic seems pointless! If any Cardiff regs are driving down you can park at my place and come to the stadium in my car. I take the backroads to the stadium 40-45 minutes usually even allowing for traffic.

by Guest Thu 24 Nov 2011, 12:47 pm

I shall indeed Lucky.

I'll look up train times for the way back as well, so if people can let me know what time Mick Chef

gig is in Cardiff that would be fab, so then I can figure out which time park and ride bus we need to get back to the station from the stadium.

And righty, off back to work Run

Glas - ah well those of us in Newport/Cardiff would be able to get an earlier train, I'd just assumed we'd be meeting all those travelling up from Exeter on the train in Cardiff is all.

by Glas a du Thu 24 Nov 2011, 12:51 pm

Aye, OK. I think Mr and Mrs Penfro may well drive. if so another two with them would make five in my car. The offer is there. I really do need to meet up with you lot as I have some of the tickets, you know what PYS can get like if its busy and we'll have a lot of 'virgins'.

by prop_lyd Thu 24 Nov 2011, 1:08 pm

I'll have to edit it later for me sorry stag!! Asbo: just to check you know I'm not driving to barf so will need train to there from exe

Wotcha,
Can those wishing to come to the Quofest please let me know asap;cos it's a multi-group affair, we may have to split the price of a few tickets between us,so I will need to know the numbers.I will hopefully have between 8 and 10 freebies,the others will have to be ordered in advance.
