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?

I'd love to be a radio presenter!

Go for it Munsty. Set up a few podcasts and start from there.

Is that how you get into it? I'd love to present a show on BBC Radio 4. I just love the idea of it. Just seems like an awesome job to me.

Radio 4 is great. They have some of the best documentaries and comedy shows.

To me thats a fairly solid way to go about it. Get Twitter and Facebook accounts set up. Put up radio shows available for download and carry a dictatphone to do interviews with interesting people.

Radio is great mates, in a sort of drown out the converation in the car type way

SMASHIE: Fab-Four-tastic, that was the uh, Beatles... er - I like The Beatles, don't you? - er, with: 'Eight Days A Week'.

NICEY: There's only seven days in the week, mate.

SMASHIE: Right... thanks mate.

NICEY: Don't mention it.

SMASHIE: But ah, I think you'll find that what The Beatles - I love The Beatles, don't you? - were saying...

NICEY: I don't care what The Beatles - I love The Beatles, don't you? - were saying, mate. There's only seven days in the week, never longer, never shorter. It's the law.

NICEY: Right. Starts on a Monday, goes through to a Sunday, with a Wednesday, Friday type stuff in the middle and the weekend at the end.

SMASHIE: I love the weekend, don't you?

NICEY: Me too mate!

SMASHIE: (nerdy machine gun laugh) Right. Well, one thing I do know is that, er, today is Tuesday, which is quite literally… Tuesday.

NICEY: I love Tuesdays, don't you mate?

SMASHIE: Certainly do mate, it's one of the best between Monday and Wednesday type days we've got.

NICEY: It's the only between Monday and Wednesday type day we've got, mate. It may not have the glamour and excitement of a Saturday night or the mournfulness of a Monday morn. But it's our Tuesday, the good old fashioned, honest to goodness, down to earth, great British Tuesday. And if those Eurocrats bureaucrats and other bonkers-trats try and take our Tuesday away from us THEY'LL HAVE TO GET PAST ME FIRST! And if they think I'm going to start my show by saying 'bonjourno doodle doo' and 'gutenmorgenmongous', they've got another think coming.

SMASHIE: I don't think they are gonna do that, mate.

NICEY: Right, but if they did it certainly would be a garlicmongous intrusion to make.

SMASHIE: It would be frogadabbadobulously bonkers, mate. Because ah, what makes a nation is not it's borders or it's monetary system. No. It's it's radio stations such as Radio Fab FM and the people who work therein. Such as you Nicey, you are what makes Britain great.

NICEY: Thanks mate!
(Nicey gestures to Smashie to make similar compliment)

NICEY: And so are you mate!

SMASHIE: Because er, this European business really is getting out of hand. I mean, now we got all these daft countries a-making themselves up and are wanting to be part of Europe. And ah, I can't keep track of them.

NICEY: Well there's ruromania, Czechoslavia, Hungaslavia, Mongoslavia, Omsk, Tomsk, Tobermory, Orinoco, Bulgaria.

SMASHIE: What ever did happen to The Wombles, mate?

NICEY: Good point, one certainly worth making. What happened to the Wombles. Well I'll tell you. There they were, underground over-ground a-wombling free, and then, no more, they were, were they, not here... where they were... type stuff...

SMASHIE: Wombling wise words, mate.

NICEY: Thanks mate.

SMASHIE: I love the Wombles, er, they really were great in a sort of 'short programme before the news' type way.

NICEY: They certainly were, mate.

SMASHIE: And ah, I think we've all got a little bit of the Womble in us haven't we, and I'll bet you've got a bit of the womble in you, ain'tcha Nicey?

NICEY: Well er, I do know the Pet Shop Boys, if that's what you mean.

SMASHIE: Not really no, er. Er, in fact, think it's time I was making a move because I'm taking over from Pip Schofield tonight in Joseph's Coat. So this is me, Mike 'no stranger to charity' Smash saying: arrivederci doodle doo.

NICEY: Auf Wiedersehen, Pet! Alright all you Europrats, listen to me. My name is Davenport Nice, I'm a-standing… Yes - Davenport. I'm a-standing firm for Britain, for her Tuesdays, for her Wombles, for a Bachman, for a Turner and most of all for a noble Overdrive. You ain't seen nothing yet, Euro Poppers - Let us rock!

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Bachman Turner Overdrive

(off air)
SMASHIE: Nicey?

NICEY: Mate?

SMASHIE: Do you really know the Pet Shop Boys?

NICEY: I know the quiet one mate...

I used to love when we came to England on holidays and we'd always listen to Radio 4. I especially loved it when we were on the motorway and it was dark and listening to some documentary about a boxing club somewhere in Africa or even just the news.

I'd feel like a right old numpty but I might just do that.

Radio 4 rocks. Just listening to PM - Eddie Mair is the best current affairs/news presenter going.

Just had a little nostalgia trip look at all the photos of my first year or so in England. Some amazing times in Chester and also looking at stuff from the H Cup final weekend, man that was an incredible couple of days.

Your a right old numpty anyway. In for a penny in for a pound. Youd do well

Face made for it, Munsty

May have to be a lager unfortunately...no in the house

Bangers mash fried egg homemade chutney (made with homegrown apples) and stone baked bread. Mmmmm.

Argh I knew I'd forgotten something....didn't do the fried egg!!

I saw on Saturday Kitchen some Michelin Star chef said a soft egg yoke was like a sauce no human could create in a kitchen.

Evening all,

Am just going to curl up in the corner, with a and maybe get some shut eye. Might put a song on as well...

Only been back in the flat for about 20mins since leaving before half 8 this morning. Sooooooo SO tired.

Just about to watch the Man Who Sued God, never seen it before so it best be good!! Home tomorrow

ha, just seen the Romain Poite thread

Whatever the Munster fans say Poite is actually a very good ref.

I think so too Pete, seems to me like he lets the players get on with playing rugby

He called me...a M...M...Mun...
Muns...Mun...Munst...

I can't even being myself to say it!

Hello,
Just home, think we've taken Loupa on her lest visit to the vet.wailing and gnashing of teeth atm will see if she makes it through the night.

Seen that the Potters continue in Europe, which slightly elates me..For the rest, I don't give a foooooooooooooooook

Poor thing... is she old? What's wrong with her?

Sorry to hear about Loupa Chef

Sorry to head about that

Just found an old phone from 2009 still with photos on it so just had a trip down memory lane!!

Watching question time. Labour new boy Chuka Umumna playing a very clever game. Let's Ken Clarke take the right wing point and some union witch take the left hand view while he slides himself into the middle.

Am just watching Time of Our Lives on SS1. Jeff Stelling chatting to the Wimbledon crazy gang boys Dave Bassett, Alan Cork and Wally Downes.

Very funny some of their stories.

Sorry, I just can't agree with that.

for Loupa

Morning all, Friday at last, has been a long week. Usual for me pls: & - thanks

I think

I think I'm still drunk. Can't be sure though, I might just be deliriously sick.

Probably drunk though. Still, I'm on time. That's good goin.

I dont rate the fella either. He has his mind made up about who's going to win a penalty in the scrum before the ball goes in.

Bore da pawb / good morning all, happy Friday!

On my way in to work I have to go from a left-hand lane across another into a dedicated lane for turning right. I looked behind me, saw a few cars quite a way off, so I indicated and started to move over to the dedicated lane; this b!tch in a convertible goes into the dedicated lane and back out just so she can overtake me. We ended up at the lights together; I gave her a few choice words, but her windows were shut so she wouldn't have heard them.

There's something wrong here. It's Welsh people who have sour grapes and moan about the ref and Irish people who have a go at them.

Glas, we do it before the match.

Loupa died peacefully this morning

It hasn't rained for a while here, but this morning the skies are weeping with us.

Ah Mick. That’s terrible mate.

I lost my dog 3 years ago, we still all miss her.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Chef. At least she died peacefully.

I'm very sad to hear that Mick... she'll have eternal peace now.

Had a similar experience 10 weeks ago with our beloved old cat.
