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?

Cant say I am annoyed as he wasn't due to start with us until 1st December.

Oh OK.

No then!

OK just found out I have to go to Swansea for work when I visit Wales. Penfro I'll stay in Swansea on the Thursday night and then come back up on Friday night.

Swansea? Make sure you've had your injections!

That bad Lucky? I take it none of the regs live in Swansea and want to meet for a pint.

And afternoooon all, tis Friiiiday

Swansea's quite nice actually, Stag. My sister studied there and moved there to live a couple of months ago. She lives right by the Liberty Stadium and she told me she can hear the roar of the crowd (when the Swans are playing).

Is there anything Ospreys related to visit there? Is there anything worth doing there?

erm, maybe the Liberty Stadium to a tour Stag?

Not much to do in Swansea really, but the redeveloped area at the seafront is nice, not been to Swansea properly for years though. Not sure really what there is to do there.

Im staying down on the seafront which is nice.

Ah well there ya go then Stag. Seems like you'll be seeing a lot of Wales on your visit then anyway

Righty off up the train station to get my tickets

Won't be back in later, so have lovely evenings all, pob lwc i'r Dreigiau, and Ymlaen Scarlets!

Swansea's Winter Wonderland. This event held next to the National Waterfront Museum includes stalls selling traditional Christmas goods, a big wheel offering views over Swansea Bay and an ice rink. 18 Nov 2011 - 8 Jan 2012

Perfect!!!

Dreamer yea I'll be seeing Cardiff, Llanelli, Swansea, Exeter, Devon, Bath, Chester and Liverpool - quite the trek.

I don't suppose you'll have the time, but the Gower peninsula (just beyond Swansea) is a beautiful part of the world.

I land into Cardiff at 11.15am, then head into Cardiff City and then get the train to Swansea. I won't hang around in the morning I'll get back into Cardiff for early afternoon.

If any of the mods would be so kind as to delete this thread that would be both super and fantastic.

Sound as a bell pal

Something for our Welsh regs - STUNNING - not great viewing for our English regs though

UPDATE TV GUIDE - HERE

DREAMER, LUCKY and anybody else 'dissing' Abertawe
Chavport and Turktown make Swansea look like Monte Carlo

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

That is all

Caught the old chap in your zip did you, Stag?

I'm not from Turktown Penfro! I diss there as well

And I just walked far quicker to and from the train station then I thought I would, still got 10mins to scoff my food before work comes a calling.

Stag - okay?


Lucky -

STAG - you have email, yes not a blydi PM but EMAIL

Thankfully not Lucky

Ah just work stuff.

I was only kidding about Swansea, Penfro. I went down to visit my sister a month or so ago and it's a decent enough place. Shame about the locals, but you can't have it all.

Thing with Swansea is, the further west you go the better it gets. Indeed, it could be said it is a microcosm of Wales .............

Afternoon all. Fair play to Wales in the 7s. We're taking a couple of Welsh fans to Dubai this year. I'm sure we'll get some stick

Wales 7s squad: - Tom Habberfield 1, Harry Robinson 2, Mathew Patchel 3 ,Alex Walker 4, Tom Prydie 5, Owen B Williams 6, Ifan Evans 7, Rhys Shellard 8, Will Price 9, Richie Pugh 10, Richard Smith 11, Owen P Williams 12 .

I’m not surprised they beat England with Ifan Evans (a real 7s specialist) and Tom Prydie on the wings. Just chuck ‘em the ball and watch them run. Evans is a wee tank with a turbo-charged engine.

It'll be an experience no doubt Pete. I always seem to go off on tangents in Wales. In 2008 I managed to thumb a lift from Holyhead down to Cardiff.

Ifan Evans is a new name to me, Hound - presumably he's on one of the regions' books?

Hound what occurring any news with you?

Stag: if you get the chance head down the mumbles and have a 'winter' icecream in Swansea!!

Afternoon all stupidly busy day but finished now for a swim then to finish my shopping and then over a mates for food and quentin tarantino films!!

AND I managed to exchange my Dragons vs Blues ticket for the Dragons Chiefs return leg

He plays for Llandovery lucky –but is also attached to The Scarlets; probably only just made it to Regional rugby this season though. He’s one of those that get’s you off your seat when he gets the ball in space in 7s

stag –I’m OK but a bit fed up with posting in here only to be ignored over the past few days.

Only kidding

did someone say something??

Oh yea Hound I meant to ask you. Ive decided I want to try an ale at the meet up. Which kind should I have? For someone who never had ale before.

Howcome Wales have to play Fiji in the semis??!! Some reward for topping the group

Hound , bear in mind that Staggy will be in the CVI

I love you Hound!

YES! I'm up to €82 in my MO drive. GET IN!

Which meet up? If in Wales let Penfro be your guide, but try anything from Tomos Watkins or Purple Moose. In the west country Asbo will see you right - anything from O'Hanlons, Otter, and Cotleigh would be 3 recommendations. Watch yourself with 'the stick' in The Culm Valley Inn. Evil boogers in there I tell you

Its landlord Wonkie's 10th anniversary in the CVI, so I imagine the stick will be extra long! One of each I would recommend?

I just count the whole thing as one big meet up.

Thursday - Swansea
Friday - Cardiff
Saturday - Llanelli/Devon
Sunday - Bath/Exeter/Devon
Monday - Cardiff
Tuesday-Thursday - Chester
Friday - Liverpool

Aye As Go for it!

Ah, Micko - to be fair I have just been lobbing the occasional comment in, which has had nothing to do with what was being discussed in here.

Hound , we've also got to find a pub for our time in Bath (before the game and after the game, plus possibly during the game) - I found this site: Bath pubs - any that you would recommend in particular? Cheers

There's some lovely pubs down by the water/rec at bath or off towards the theatre!!

I'll get back you As. Going into the tube now.

Sound, no rush

So, have I missed anything?

Right, I had to log into the wifi at the pub because T-Mobile have a 'lock' on any site related to alcohol

Avoid the Pulteney Arms - good pub, but it is heaving before Bath matches. It will show any rugby on TV though. Ditto The Old Green Tree - they don't like 'loud' people

Good bets near the ground are The Bell Inn, Walcot St. The Pig & Fiddle, The Hogshead and an absolute gem The Star (but this is also a quiet pub). It features a bench known as 'Death Row' because that is where the old codgers sit.

Best to check beerintheevening 'cos it's a while since I've been to Bath. Happy hunting

Hope they'll have Yellowhammer on in the CVI,nectar of the dogs.

When Gibbo and I were in Bath, we didn't even go to a pub ,but had lunch in a smartish place that sold good beer.

Hound

Are you going to be amongst the travelling Pests support at the MadStad tomorrow???
