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?

How's Newport - I mean, the new job?

Evening both.

Newport - well at least the bit I go to - is all right Lucky. Maybe that's cause I'm near the main road out of it

Hello.

All right Thom? How's things in Munsterland?

I am not from Munsterland. I'm from Cork It's an entirely different place. Jeez Pretty good. I saw the Coca Cola advert on TV a second ago. It's officially Christmas.

Ah well, it's all the bloody same to me!

They've had Xmas ads on the telly for about a fortnight here.

Longer than that I'd say, Cari. They start earlier every year.

holidays are coming, holidays are coming....

Can't wait for Thursday when I can officially start being Christmasy

Exactly, Dreamer - once we're into December, 'tis the season. That's season, not Saeson ;-)

Is that some Welsh language joke? Anyway, you can really tell it's christmas when you're browsing in HMV and you here All I want for Christmas

haha, exactly

I even resisted putting a Christmas film on today to make me feel better, that shall be for the weekend!

I absolutely love Christmas, tis just a shame I'm the only one of my family that really does! They are all

Saeson is Welsh for Englishmen, Thomond. Calling it a joke would be a stretch, though!

So it's a pun. Must try harder Lucky.

I know, I know.

Ya leek munching feicers.

The Romans brought leeks to Britain. It was on telly so it must be true.

Did I just miss a discussion about the fine ladies of Ulster last night?

We didn't land on the word fine but yeah you did.

God bless the Romans then lucky. I love leeks.

I can't agree, quite clearly me and the Ulster regs see different Ulsterweemin.

They're lush, Hound. I don't like many vegetables but I like leeks.

Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, has been sentenced to four years in prison following his conviction for involuntary manslaughter of the pop legend earlier this month

As Santa said in a funny American photo:

"calm this Poopie down, it's only November"

Bayonne- biarritz in 5 mins on 9alab

BO 12 - 6 AB

Typical Basque derby,Fitzgibbon waited til the 39th to distribute his first yellow.

It it a good match, Mick?

Steffon Armitage has just tweeted there has been a punch up in that game and Harinordoquys dad ran on and punched someone.

Is that right Chef???

that will be a bit mental if that's true!

Good grief! I would've thought Harinordoquy is big enough to fight his own battles, never mind getting his da on!

watching the Biarritz vs Bayonne on canal+ and a fight brakes out & Harinordoquy's dad runs onto the pitch to throw a punch to defend him!

I have to admit, it's made me giggle a bit...a big pro rugby player getting his dad on the pitch...that's usually schoolboy stuff...not so funny he punched someone though.

Yeah,hari was being severely trashed and his paternal came on, didn't actually make contact,handbags stuff and nearly got walloped by Boyet.AB try disallowed because of the aggression.
Dour match, Biarritz win with last kick of the game 21-19

Wow I need to see that incident then!!

Seen the coke advert twice now and the proper truck in big tescos!!!!

Should have called for Stag's boss - our Trev. Players, Ulster supporters, stroppy rah-rah girls... if someone pishes him off...it dont make no never-mind.

Morning folks


Very quiet in here last night. I had viewings on the house last night.5 people around, cut three immediately and left with two a Kiwi bloke called Andy and an Ozzie chick called Ash.


Both sound, easy to get along with and would fit in well. We canny decide who to take

That's an easy decision

Well I was thinking that same thing myself, one of the girls said I should think with my head. I said I already am

Not that head, the other one

Go with the bubbliest character would be my advice.

Go with Asbos advice. You know it makes sense.

Bore da pawb / good morning all.

Bubbly, Breaker? In my experience, people who describe themselves as 'bubbly' become very annoying very quickly. Living with a bubbly person could lead to verbal and ultimately physical violence.

But it's your call, Hughie!

Just felt like using the word, lucky. Although you're right - bubbly can equal bloody annoying.

A quick jump to the verbal and physical violence I see? Who'd want to live with that?

I was only kidding about the violence. I wouldn't hurt a fly. Wasps, yes, but that's self-defence in my book.

Definitely. You have a right to defend yourself if attacked by a wasp.

I'm still trying to picture the candidates - I probably meant a nice personality rather than bubbly (but was reminded of a former flatmate who was quite a character - but not the annoying type), ability to pay the rent, some cooking & cleaning and not impartial to a bit of sport.

I'd prefer someone who can hold a conversation to a church mouse too - if they have most/all of those characteristics, I'd be happy. Best to avoid someone with a chip-on-their-shoulder too... but it's sometimes hard to ascertain this during a short introduction.

It's so hard to tell what a person's going to be like to live with when all you have to go on is fifteen minutes or so with them. Two former housemates seemed really nice when they came to look at spare rooms we had in Cardiff, but while one was a great housemate, the other one turned out to be a bit of a psycho. You can't always tell.

Morning All

On the house sharing thing, from my experience you want someone who's trustworthy when it comes to household bills and things like that. I was ripped off by a former housemate and it's incredibly stressful and upsetting.

Yeah, I had a similar experience around 2000-2003. I had the following:

Irish guy - dangerous psycho but very good sense of humour
Serbian guy - had some issues from the War and was struggling to find work here
Aussie country girl - out of control yobbette, no manners and very loud
Japanese girl - lovely person... but didn't talk too much

Good call there Lucky, in Ireland i reckon the equivelant is someone who calls themself "mad". They might be fun for in small doses, but it doesn't take long for them to grate on ya.

Also, no disrespect to relationships, but don't let a couple share your house if you can help it. I lived with a boy/girl couple and another girl in one house, and then the couple decided to split up very badly...The best house share I had was when i shared with four lads. It was great
