The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Sun 27 Nov 2011, 7:33 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

My face is cooler than the cool side of the pillow. Always.

Some gas photo’s from the mustache parade, sorry party, last night. I told this fella his costume was gas (he was dressed up as rabbit from Super Troopers) and he goes “MICK!!!” we used to work together in Blacktie, many moons ago. He kept getting chatted up by this Freddie Mercury impressionist. Hilarious!

Off to learn about essay writing in Victorian. Enjoy your afternoon folks because I most likely will not!

Getting ready to leave the house at the start of the Big Trip to Berks, Kent and then points west. Anybody going to be there, start praying NOW that I don't bring the weather with me. Mickado, can you do me a big fat favour, amigo, and ask Gibbo to bring me a Leinster flag?

Chef

so sorry about Loupa. Hug

Afternooon all.

I am actually looking forward to my work's do tonight now. Rocking up at 7pm to make the most of the hour of 2 for 1 cocktails before the sit down meal. Should be good Smile

Puma - enjoy the start of your big trip! I'll be praying that the sun is shining when we all meet up on the 10th Smile

All I ask is that it doesn't rain too much that weekend.

by Thomond Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:17 pm

Best roll is Hot chicken Roll from Dunnes with a bit of stuffing and a bit of mayo. A Chuffin roll. Meanies are amazing, who ever thought pickled onion crisps would be nice? White pudding is ten times better than black pudding and Jacobs cream crackers are pretty great. Chocolate Hob Nobs are also the best biscuit around after homemade choc chip cookies.

Condolences to Mick the Chef. Hug

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:22 pm

what is white pudding? I don't think I've ever had that.

I've just eaten far too much for my lunch and now feel really sleepy. Wish it was okay to have an afternoon nap at work.

by Thomond Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:24 pm

Dreamer it's like black pudding but tastes better and is white.

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:29 pm

o...kay. I'm not that much of a fan of black pudding either though. Hmm.

by PenfroPete Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:30 pm

White pudding - LINK

Best part of that webpage is the line:

Play our fun, free Whack the Haggis game - laughing

by Mickado Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:37 pm

Oh god, if you’ve never had white pudding and you’re skeptical about it, for the love of Brian O’Driscoll don’t read about it. it would put you right off.

It’s best served (I find) fried and chopped up on a sausage sandwich. That, my friends, is good eatin.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:38 pm

The sausage sandwich is a good start in itself!

by Thomond Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:39 pm

Indeed also Mick, SuperQuinn sausages, Jaysus you're really pulling the stops out for Stag!

by red_stag Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:41 pm

Thomond, he's a Rathgor man now

by Mickado Fri 02 Dec 2011, 1:43 pm

I’m tellin ya Thomond, no messin around with this fry up.

Might even get some freshly baked baguettes to make home made brekkie rolls.

Ladies & germs, enjoy your weekends one and all (especially those meeting in Dublin this evening) and may your teams all get the results you want (unless it happens to be playing one of my teams)

Plane to Devon to catch Run

Great competition - getting some nice prizes from Canterbury at the moment.

Also, I think I might have another Q&A lined up - Mr Mike Phillips - watch this space!

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 02 Dec 2011, 2:52 pm

That's a cracking prize, Hobo!

Afternoon, Gibbo (and Hobo, of course).

by Gibson Fri 02 Dec 2011, 3:49 pm

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 4:12 pm

I've been enjoying my last afternoon without my boss, she's been off for 7 weeks after her toe op, but is back in on Monday, boo Sad

Just winding down the day now, can't wait until half past 4!

Just want to say have a great evening all of you that are meeting up, and good luck to everyone's teams for the weekend Ale

by Suspicious lurker Fri 02 Dec 2011, 4:14 pm

Just settling in to watch Jackie Browne, never seen it

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 02 Dec 2011, 4:15 pm

I'm going to have to dig out my long johns soon, Gibbo. It gets cold cycling at seven in the morning in the depths of winter, believe it or not.

Toe op, yeah right. Thats such a code for boobjob

by prop_lyd Fri 02 Dec 2011, 4:22 pm

Ah back home and the rents have already got a cuppa ready for me and then i guess it'll be cider

time!! Enjoy the meet you oirish regs!!

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 02 Dec 2011, 4:30 pm

Seven weeks off for a toe op? Is she a footballer?

by Thomond Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:02 pm

Hughie, it is indeed lovely. As are the sausages, as I say the best things in life are Corkonian. Half an hour until we find out who Ireland face in PolKraine!

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:14 pm

Lucky - she had a hammer toe on each foot and had to have pins put in to straighten them. Sounds gross.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:17 pm

Ouch, that doesn't sound pleasant!

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:28 pm

nope not nice at all!

You getting excited for going to see the O's v Munster, lucky? reckon that should be a great match.

by Gibson Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:35 pm

I believe this will be an epic night in Dublin roysh. We could be diong with a Connacht man to give us a full hand.
De Rav, Stag and the Leinster lads and lassies on de pish!!

Hoping for an Ulster win first though. Not sure if I've told you lot before but they are secretely my favourite Oirish province. It's a Cloggie, South African sort of thing guinness

Stand Uuupppp Fer De Ulllsssteeeeerrrrr Men music

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:41 pm

You're all going to have a brilliant night I'm sure Gibbo, no need for Ulster to get a win too, makes more sense for the Scarlets to be the victors Wink

Fecking freezing in my flat. Winter is finally here.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:45 pm

Ohhhhh Spain

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:46 pm

Tough draw Hughie.

by MrsP Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:46 pm

Quick post while I still have the use of my fingers!!!

Hope everyone has a great night!

It is BALTIC in Belfast.

Hope we have a great game with no injuries and NO controversy!!!

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:49 pm

Agree with you on the no controversy MrsP! (and the no injuries obv)

Anyone who has my number and wishes to text me updates of the match that would be amazing. All I have to do now is devise different ways of subtely checking my phone during works Christmas meal!

by prop_lyd Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:49 pm

Group B's going to be strong!!

by Thomond Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:49 pm

Spain and Croatia so far. Not great. Spain aren't as good as people think they are their football is quite boring.

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:51 pm

same could be said for Ireland though, no? Wink

I don't actually like many of Spains' football players so not too fussed on them.

oooo just seen Netherlands and Portugal are in the same group - tough group!

by Thomond Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:52 pm

Yeah but people know our football is sh!t!

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:54 pm

this is true.

Germany in group B! Total group of Death.

Ah c'mon England in group C please

by prop_lyd Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:54 pm

Netherlands-Germany-Portugal-Denmark......group of death!!

And England have got off lucky AGAIN!!!! There's a shock Wink

by WillyGilly Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:55 pm

England get a decent group.

Ireland in a group of debt. Got a good chance of going through as runners up.

by Thomond Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:56 pm

England get a soft group. Ireland are in a very bad group but we could be second.
