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 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?

For Flip sakes it's November!



I am boycotting all shops until Christmas Eve.

But but but but it's the Wurzels!!!!!! They can get away with anything

Where's that Scrooge smiley? Hobo!

evening glas, evening guys

Pfft Glas I thought us front-rowers stuck together

Just did my premier league picks for the first time on s.g!

Evening Cricket

I forgot the Blues were playing tonight!!

Evening Crick. Did I tell you the Blues are pants? They are playing Aironi in the Pro12 on S4C. They have run two kickable penalties early doors and after measuring the width of the pitch (but not it's length) have just missed a drop goal.

how is everyone tonight?

The front row union doesn't extend to excusing rampant commercialism Prop!

Oh by the way Czekaj is a donkey.

Ah but Glas it is alcohol related!!

Yeah I know he is, ooo there's your shot of Gav, must have found a good tanning shop in Cardiff............

Not bad ta Cricket...bar the fact I have to go to Newport tomorrow

ah right lol fair enough.

Oim foin Crick. Last night you triggered an avela...

Hold on they have spent 5 minutes saying Donkey Czekaj deserves a Wales call up!

Lord preserve us!

huh?

Not on my watch - no more smileys being added

I was going to say you triggered an avalanche of posts. This place was bouncing!

Are you telling me you are pi$$ed Prop?


(cheers Hobo )

Czekaj is a donkey.

The Blues are pants.

Who do you follow sporting wise Crick?

West ham, essex CC

dont really follow a club rugby side, i prefer international rugby.

Nah not piddle at all Glas...off the sauce since last sat till next weds!!

Cricket....you want to support a young team who will have total domination in 2 years: Glawster!!!!

Ah right, are you going to any 6N matches?

I often find grassroots rugby can be quite exciting. Mind you a team like London Welsh or London Scottish play a decent brand of rugby without bleeding the wallet.

Hobo<hatsoffsmiley> for
Exactly how we should be;celebrate the sun/moon/stars/or any other inanimate object! Gibbo,where are you....?

Saw that Asbo was going thru Substitutes repertoire earlier

Cricket, step outside of non continental Europe, and follow ASM

http://www.asm-rugby.com/

and you'll improve your language skills.innit?

Prop! Essex are not the force they were, supporting West Ham is a labour I'd love and you want him to support Gloucester!

He's off now Glas....I'm sure I saw you run on and kick him there!!

Ah Gloucester are great to support....best stand in the world too.

That was a bit thuggish by the Aironi prop Prop. Even Donkeys don't deserve that.

i am hoping to go to a six nations match next year

If i'm honest i didn't see what happened??!!

Czekaj had his head down in a ruck and he drove his shoulder into the back of Czekaj's neck.

Crick, the atmosphere can be awesome. France and Scotland are probably the biggest matches, but Wales and Ireland are at Twickers this season and neither match is to be sniffed at, especially given that those two will probably be bookies favourites come the spring.

As you may know, inter-national rugby doesn't tickle me, but I have just read that the director of elite English rugby says that it(English inter-national rugby) has hit rock bottom, but he is not going to resign, then Did he get hit by an Aironi prop, or a heron's beak?

Just seen this news story:

Dreamer says NO!

Ah, that's why the Italian winger is playing rugby. His footballing skills were found wanting there with the tryline begging.

I would be slightly tempted to say;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFGZufk4HFs

but not knowing the financial state of the region,intrinsically, foreign holidayers doesn't rankle.

Because this new complex will take business away from Pantglas, it will take business away from Llandeilo as they will have shops on the complex, and for the amount of damage it will do to the countryside, it's only going to be brining 70 jobs to the area. It's not worth the cost.

Floodgates opened for the Blues now!!

Just been told I'm on the bench Saturday

"Ours is very low key and low density. What's proposed is a very large urban scheme in a rural country site," said John Butcher, director of MBH3 Ltd which runs the resort."

And there's the only problem, a small low key,perhaps local outfit, that can't look further then their own beak, and recognise that pulling in thousands of wealthy Chinese folk will have an enormous(ends in -ous) impact on the region , and MAY even help the expansion of your national sport/game

'rural country site'? urban country music, but rural country???

Mention the silky skills of the substitute prop in the build up to the try you lazy bar stewards!

I've heard it all before Dreamer, it will end up being 20 houses if that. I hope the Councillors aren't gullible enough ti fall for the Hotel bit. They knocked down the Old Police Station in Amnanford to build a "5* Hotel" in the middle of Amnanford ffs! There are no other Hotels in Ammanford! Lo and behold the application is granted, then amended and amended again. Now a block of flats is planned but the developer O'Driscoll Property Developments have gone bust.

yeah I remember all the fuss over that Glas.

Tis just laughable that they are on about a relaxing rural retreat, then say there will be 80 holiday cottages and a 100 bed hotel!! That's bigger then loads of villages in the area. Ludicrous.

I'm not putting this at all well, I can't even begin to put into words how bad it would be for the area surrounding Llandeilo. I think the negatives it would bring would far, FAR outweigh the few positives. It's just far too big a scheme to be proposing.

In cinema watching twilight #teamjacob

Bonsoir,

Whats the prob Dreamer. I dont see why its such a big deal.

Llandeilo and the surrounding area is built up of very small communities, in really rural locations, right on the edge of a national park. It is actually, stunning. Really well and truly beautiful. Llandeilo as a town has made a name for itself as a town full of small, independent traders. It's that charm that already brings lots of people to the area already.

Proposing such a big build, in such an undamaged part of the countryside, is to me just absolutely horrid, especially when it's so close to an area of outstanding natural beauty. And especially when something that large isn't needed, will not bring many jobs to the area, and will adversely affect local businesses. I think it would be a terrible idea. I really would.

Just...just no.

Fully appreciste not everyone will see it that way, but ych, I would absolutely hate it.

Its sounds as though they are building traditional cottages in the area and improving the local economy.

yes but 80?! that's a crazy large amount. Why on such a big scale?? And they're setting up shops on the complex, direct competition to shops in towns like Llandeilo, hardly see how that's going to benefit them?

I might be initially overreacting as I've not long read the article, but gut reaction, is a down right no, and against it.

ouch just caught the Blues v Aironi score.

38-0. Poor Aironi, but da iawn Gleision.

I can appreciate your reaction, dreamer;but it means 70 more jobs, which will mean a boost to local economy:ok busloads of tourists, many of which will have the wherewithall to venture out by themselves=local tourist guides,taxis,horses,sheep etc,sell them what they've been trying to sell the occident, and it's all money in the bank for local schools,hospitals,pubs,shops,sport whatever.A great idea!!

Well at least they won't come bothering me here

aha! ulterior motive....

Ah I can remember all of this fuss when they tried selling off the Forest......the people won though

Mick do you ever wish you moved to France when you were younger?

No, dreamer,there's nothing wort hseeing around here(drinking yes,seeing-No) apart from a long lost tribe,

Getting excited for tomorrow now and the derby match, blydi love going to Y Parc.

Im debating whether or not to go to Munster v Edinburgh at the weekend. I may just relax instead considering I've a completely jam packed itinerary the rest of the year.
