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 Doug Howlett above the bar!


So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

Theres a group of old* men sitting at table next to me putinf me to shame with drink. Guinness with whiskey chasers.and flying through them.

* circa 50-60 years old

Ulster team named. Great to see a start for young McAllister at loosehead. In ahead of Tom Court. He has a big future ahead of him.

Feic off Stag, that's not old. My father's 85. He's getting on a bit but even he doesn't think he's old

I don't think it would be a real problem putting you to shame with the drink anyways.

What about me Rava??

hughie1986 wrote:What about me Rava??

No Hughie, you're not old

I love you guys.

Success we seem to be successfully boarding

Going by Tim Visser's tweet about an hour ago Edinburgh were due to fly this afternnon but are now on a coach, so presumably driving down today.

Sorry to eavesdrop....

My dad always used to tell me: "Old age and treachery will always triumph over youth and skill"

The older I get the more it applies.

I wondered if they would drive down instead, that won't be a fun journey!


Offload - your Dad seems a wise man

Prynhawn da pawb / good afternoon all. I've got the day off work because I had my driving test. Would you Adam and Eve it, I passed!

wooo congrats Lucky! that's brilliant!

I'm so relieved, Dreamer, I thought I'd failed - again. But I did it. No more lessons!

ah that's just super! Really, really pleased for you!

I'm not looking forward to starting up my lessons again in the new year, after an 8 month break, I'll be super rubbish again!

Once the rustiness has gone you'll be fine, I'm sure!

I cannot wait for the weekend now!

Well tis almost here Lucky! One more sleep Really looking forward to the Blues v Edinburgh match now, it's usually a really good game between the two teams, so fingers crossed they don't disappoint!

My stomach is in knots over whether Georgie and Foxy are going to be fit, going to blydi well have to wait until tomorrow's team announcement though.

That's great news Lucky.

Congrats.

will that bring down your insurance or anything? or how does it work in the UK?

When I passed mine, I rang up my insurance who I had only renewed with 3 months earlier and they refunded me some money

Insurance will probably go up seeing as I've just passed, but I don't know for certain.

not for you though Lucky, you're driving

Congratulations, no decent driver ever passed first time

Thanks Micky, thanks Penfro!

Go up? why would it go up?

I don't know, I just assume it will. I'll check it out later.

How are you anyway Micky, you haven't been in here much lately.

Ah right. Over here it's a case of if you've passed your test you are less of a risk of crashing and therefore it's cheaper.

Yeh mate, I am good just mental in work and (I know I keep harping on with no one listening) but the lack of mobile version means I am not enticed in after work hours.

and the whole Chairperson of the band thing is consuming my spare time.

Bet you wish you didn't ask now

Nah, I am good chief, just looking forward to a couple of days off over christmas to drink and eat rings around myself

The lack of a mobile version is a pain, you're right. It would be so much easier to post here when you're out and about if there was a good mobile version. But you never know, we might get one in time for Christmas!

Is that a premonition, Penfro?

Should we call you Lucky_motorist now?

One of my naughty boys had a result today. Fined for carrying a butterfly knife. He must have fellated a on the way to court.

Call me whatever you like, Glas, as long as it's not an insult!

Fellating a is perfectly legal in the UK, but not in Ireland, which is a strange one. You can't roger a banshee over there, either.

Anybody heard from Stag?

Dreamer, get your picks out on Sportsguru, I want to see who's going to win this weekend.

Was hoping nobody would notice me having a 5 minute binge whilst the pub was empty

Last time I spoke to him - Flight to Brum at 13:50, land 14:50, sort luggage transfer to coach provided to take customers to Cardiff Airport, leave about 16:00 (he thinks) I’ll pick him up from Cardiff Airport at around 18:45 / 19:00. Drop car at Penfro Towers. Having ‘real ‘ in The Bush at 20:00

Sorry to eavesdrop.......
I took my test many years ago when due to a shortage of examiners they drafted some in from another area. I drove like a complete dipstick and was sure I had failed. The examiner then asked me to pull over and wait - after 5 minutes of tension he said "I seem to have lost my bearings, you couldn't get us back to the test centre could you?" True story and I'm convinced the only reason I passed.
Anyway - congrats and happy motoring - mirror, signal, manoeuvre and all that.

Thanks, Offload. It's great, I can drive like a tw@t like everyone else now!

Ha! Any particular ones?

I've done the Amlin ones already, leaving my HEC and Footy ones till tomorrow.

I feel guilty in the Amlin one actually, I've gone for an Exeter win instead of the Dragons and it isn't sitting right with me at all!

I wouldn't worry Dreamer, I've gone for an Exeter win too!

ah no Lucky, how can you pick against your own team?! (unless...reverse psychology?)

I have to pick the Scarlets even when me head is telling me they'll likely lose (like against Ulster last week).

Dreamer, SG is only a game. You can pick against your team if you want. I don't usually tell though

Lucky well played mate. Do you intend to buy a car now?

Penfriend, please give Stag a virtual from me later, ta.

I know Rava, tis completely irrational of me, but I just can't do it. Makes absolutely no sense I know

Stag will be knackered by 8.00, anybody's after half a shandy and a Clark's pie.

=

I'll take a Clark's pie!! Off for my 1st squash match since admitting my ankle needed rest...let's see how this goes and I best be back for the rugby tonight!!

Depressed now.

Looked at Dreamers SG picks.

Hello pub. I am recovering from a cold I must have picked up in Dubai (not gonna be making the London meet tonight ). Still, it was a great trip again, especially with England defending their title. There were also plenty of upset results along the way.

If you can find a link, watch the Fiji v England semi final. It was a cracking game of 7s with drama right to the end. Plus it shut up the wum of a Jock stood behind us who was yelling for Fiji and denigrating England every time we had the ball. For you bud -

And how Wales managed to lose their q/f against Argentina was baffling. The Welsh fans were holding their heads in shock and disbelief.

And congrats to lucky on the driving test. I hope everyone's travel arrangements work out over the weekend

- erm, congra (choke) ulat (choke) ions Glad you had a great time, shame you not feeling too chipper

Should have been in the City Arms, educating the Stagmeister in the art of . However, with his new epic journey I'm picking him up at Kairdip Aeroport around 19:00

Take care and have a wee dram (medicinal obviously)

Me.

Get well soon but don't pass it on to me

Hope everyone's journeys work out OK. Weather's sh*t and I'm not in Scotland.
