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?

While watching the Bath v Leinster game it struck me how Prop looks just like a blonde version of Olly Barkley. I knew he reminded me of someone!

Good to see there were no major casualties from the weekend, there were a few weary looking soldiers at the Pulteney Arms yesterday afternoon - and there was still another game to go...

Nice meeting you all, hopefully next time we'll get the chance to sink a few more together before you have to shoot.

Still can't see the Donald angle, but I think it might stick thanks to Penfro & Asbo. Very Happy

Cheers all. guinness

Or Castre and watched poor Saints run in 4 tries and stiil not get a LBP!

Or Treviso and see Biarritz score 4 tries and still lose to a side who only scored 3!

Evening All.

Hope everyone's well. I haven't had the best start to the week. Went to work with a stinking cold, only to slip on black ice and hurt myself. Must've looked hilarious to everyone else, although two people helped me up without laughing. Just bruised and sore now. Feel like I've played rugby today.

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:09 pm

You OK Cari?

by Cari Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:12 pm

Aye. I'll survive Glas. Just bruised down one side, and got a gash on my leg. Was really strange though, because there was absolutely no frost or ice in Cardiff and it didn't look frosty out the bus window.

Anyway, I hope that the regs enjoyed their weekend - judging by the silence on here I'd say they did. Smile

by Thomond Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:15 pm

Glad to hear you're okay Cari.

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:17 pm

Map of Australia on your legs tomorrow then Sad

Get into a hot bath and do some stretches before you go to bed.

by Cari Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:20 pm

I might have to try that Glas, or I won't be getting out of bed tomorrow at all. I'm in later tomorrow so that's an extra hour in bed. Wouldn't say no to a cwtsh mind, if there was one going...it's been that sort of few days.

by Mickado Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:32 pm

Sorry to hear you took a spill Cari. At least nobody laughed, I've been that soldier and you end up feeling worse! Hug

by WillyGilly Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:47 pm

Stevie Ferris was at my work today! There I was calmly going about my business when a shadow blocked out all the light surrounding me. The man is HUGE. Ashamed to say I didn't have the stones to approach him for a chat. I have no problem approaching random women when out but pro rugby players meh we all have our weaknesses.

by littleswannygirl Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:48 pm

and

for Cari. I took a tumble walking to work last winter, it's not nice at all.

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 6:49 pm

is the best I can manage remotely Cari Hug

Cari - big Hug

for you!

Evening all.

I have had a brilliant weekend. Weirdly, I don't even mind too much that the Scarlets lost (and considering what a nervous wreck I was before the match that's saying a lot!) We just didn't play well enough to win.

Was brilliant to meet Subs at Y Parc and also PJ in Bath, even though I didn't get the chance to speak to him much (sorry!).

Twas just a wonderful weekend with amazing people, so thank you to everyone but especially Asbo, the man's brilliant, especially for having to put up with all of us this weekend! Smile

Thanks to Prop as well for driving us back to the Diff. Went on the Millenium Stadium tour with Stag, not sure the tour guide was impressed with me when Stag told him why I didn't go to the Wales v Australia match though!

Hope everyone's well

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 7:08 pm

Subsbench enjoyed himself, Stag was a gracious host. My other mate was quite surprised that we were all so normal when he found out how we'd met! Very Happy

by Guest Mon 12 Dec 2011, 7:32 pm

ha well that's good to know Glas!

How's MrsG today? better I hope Smile

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 7:48 pm

She wasn't in work, but by the time I cane home had cooked two pies Headscratch

Johny Wilkinson has retired. The first act of the new coach or a spectacular vote of no confidence in him?

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 7:58 pm

Over the weekend the record price for Texel ewes was broken twice at 26,000 guineas and 32,000 guineas. Headscratch

I mean with a tup you can use AI and get hundreds of lambs a year. With an ewe even with ET the number of progeny is limited. Madness I tell you.

by Guest Mon 12 Dec 2011, 8:00 pm

Glas, honestly now, that last post of yours made absolutley no sense to me, sorry Hug

A bit surprised by the Wilko announcement, thought he'd be around for another 6N's then call it a day.

by Guest Mon 12 Dec 2011, 8:03 pm

ha just seen this on the Scarlets fan forum:

"Get the south stand to sing something! its always loud in the north we out sung the munster fans by us time after time after time only trouble we had combating was a munster fan in a french beret "

That had to have been Hughie!

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 8:12 pm

I don't think so unfortunately, no Hughie was quiet, very quiet. There were plenty of red berets about.

by Guest Mon 12 Dec 2011, 8:17 pm

Aye perphaps you're right there Glas. Someone suffering so much from too much drink the night before couldn't possibly have made enough noise to be noticed.

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 8:22 pm

He almost looked...betrayed.

by Guest Mon 12 Dec 2011, 8:28 pm

Well, that's one way of putting it...

by MrsP Mon 12 Dec 2011, 8:29 pm

Cari,

That is rotten.

<cwtch>

It is really horrible falling as an adult. Really shakes you up. Hope you aren't too sore tomorrow.

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Mon 12 Dec 2011, 9:32 pm

Evening all. I've had to have a nice wee nap this afternoon, and will be off to bed soon. Epic weekend, fantastic to see everyone.

Cari, hope you're not feeling too sore tomorrow

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 9:49 pm

Kiwi, your laconic observances are an aid to the enjoyment of any rugby match. Even if you tended to deflate my Scarlet bluster!

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 9:57 pm

Just seen the Asda advert advertising trimmings for Christmas lunch "lightly crushed carrots and sweet potatoes..."

Baby food! vomit

Cheers Glas Hug

It's a lot easier keeping 2 eyes open when you're not watching your own team Wink

by Glas a du Mon 12 Dec 2011, 10:03 pm

I'm only sorry it wasn't classic Scarlets. That's 13 on the bounce against Munster now. I think we need to work out how to beat them and we may do OK. Next week is a one off and should be treated as such.

by littleswannygirl Mon 12 Dec 2011, 10:12 pm

Penfro, when you next pop in...

Thought of you earlier this evening... I had a quick trip to my local supermarket, the orange hued one, and what did I spy?...

Penderyn whisky!!! They only had the Madeira but it's a start. Made me Smile

anyway.

by perthshirepuma Mon 12 Dec 2011, 10:27 pm

Buenas tardes, amigos! Brilliant weekend, had a terrific time, great to meet up with so many regs. Thanks Prop for the lift to the airport, took off on time, tailwind meant it was ahead of time into Embra. Am staying at The Avonbridge tonight rather than go home to a cold house, so have had lovely dinner with Himself (good), had to watch Chelsea v Man C in the bar after (bad). Away to my wee Heiland hame tomorrow, early before the threatened snow and wind blow in. Catch you all when I get home.

Evening all. Ravenhill has been transported to London. Shocked

That's it. Apart from sampling a great Scottish ale called Frozen Bells (I think I spelt that correctly) from HOWELLS(YYYYYY) brewery in Dunbar.

Slump.

Nos wotsits.

by MrsP Mon 12 Dec 2011, 11:35 pm

Ravenhill in London???

Confused dot com.

Headscratch

by littleswannygirl Mon 12 Dec 2011, 11:54 pm

That may be a weather reference MrsP. Wet and windy is due to hit London so an association with Ravenhill's reputation?

by KiaRose Tue 13 Dec 2011, 12:11 am

Evening all

Just a quick update. Gbson arrived at lunchtime as we were about to go out to our Get Fit class - left him in the capable hands of my son.

Came back home and were about to take puppy and Gibson out for a walk when Chef arrived (he had detoured via Weston Super Mud for some reason - and he has been there before so no excuse for this deplorable detour).

So kitted up Chef and Gibson for a walk on Mendip - photos to follow in theFB pub.

Went for a SHORT walk with puppy, G and C. Out on top of Mendip, gale force winds blowing, blew ALL the cobwebs away. Been to the Pony and Trap for dinner this evening - thanks lads - had a super meal. About to go to bed as Chef is leaving at 6.30 in the morning. Taking Gibson to the vet in the morning (don't ask Rolling Eyes

) and then will send him on his way.

Super weekend - hope all enjoyed it.

Bore da pawb/good morning all, hope everyone's well.

I have but half a voice left today.

Puma - glad you got home safe and sound, hope the house is all okay when you get back to it!

Got woken up about 3 times last night by the wind outside and my bedroom literally shaking, that's one of the negatives of living right at the top of a building!

by Glas a du Tue 13 Dec 2011, 9:32 am

It's quiet in here since the regs went on tour, I hope the rent's not due any time soon!

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 13 Dec 2011, 9:33 am

Bore da pawb / good morning all. I could do without being in work this morning, but hey ho, only six more working days until Christmas!

Thanks everyone for an awesome weekend. Very Happy
