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 the wedding pictures of Dan Carter and Honor Dillon above the bar! And if anyone tells the Australian Womens' Weekly that KiwiRedDevil's Mum smuggled a camera into the service* there'll be hell to pay - they paid a fair amount for the exclusive


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

* Note to any lawyer-y types, that's a joke and is completely and utterly false, Mum forgot to put the camera in her handbag

Tis part of a rather unfortunate nickname one of my relatives bestowed on me as a child MrsP!

Ah ha!

I think the penny has just dropped!

ha well hope it makes a bit more sense anyway!

Ooo almost time to log off, go get my hair cut and then drinking time! (and some food)

Not sure if I'll get in here later (would perhaps be advisable that I'm not!) so enjoy the rugby all, and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Shovey Dovey? Shovey Wovey?

Oakey Doakey!

Who a cute kid?? That's you Shovey, that's right Shovey Shovey Shovey

Evening pub

Just a quickie here - has anyone else ever been given a friendly warning by Sport Guru about a pick they've made - or am I just being generally abused by a piece of software?

That's happened to me before, PJ. It was in the group stages of the World Cup and I was tipping France to beat New Zealand. It would hardly have been the first time they'd beaten the All Blacks in a World Cup, but I was warned all the same.

Are you lot picking on shovey?

Didn't you win the World Cup SG PJ?

I put Bath to win in the OrrDS and all.

PJ, I get that on a regular basis - total humiliation

Evening All.

TFI Friday. This working set times malarky is actually giving my employer free overtime from me. I've never finished work on time yet! Still, I'm not complaining it's good to be busy. The time goes so quick.

Hope everyone is well and good. Nice to see Risca Rev had the chance to pop in too.

Evening all.

Good to know they are getting their money's worth out of you Cari!



I loved Rev's story about the "culture"!

They certainly are MrsP. That's good though, it means I'm required! I was telling one of the late shift lads my Tommy story. He thought it was fab. Showed him the photo on my phone as well. Can't believe it's nearly been a whole year since I cwtched him. Seems like last weekend!

Your lads are playing tonight aren't they?

Has OUR Tommy been in good playing form for the Os?

They are indeed MrsP. Kicks off at 8. sadly, Tommy's had a couple of injuries this year (nothing to do with me!) which have put him out of action a bit, but he's doing OK.

I read that too Mrs P - I didn't know where Risca was and felt a bit of a fool about my post when I read that he was in Afghanistan, I had no idea.

Lucky - I can't see why that was such an odd pick, a bit harsh.

Glas - I only picked Bath by a point and only because I can't pick against my beloved, just one of the chinks in my almost non-existent armour. I did win the WC SG but to be fair I had a couple of purple patches on margin points in the pool stages, and after that the only surprise really was France losing to Tonga, so it was enough to stay ahead. I'm finding the HC a struggle tho.

Asbo - that's how I felt, humiliated, but round here a "Friendly Warning" is something you get just before or just after a feckin good slap, so I also felt a bit intimidated.

Anyway if Bath win by 1 I'm going back on to give that software a piece of my mind

Nah, not happening is it?

Na pj never going to happen, five point haul for Leinster and nout for Barf

Mon Bath! Shaft those Ladyboys at Lansdowne.

Believe.

Can't see it myself PJ.

Mind you, I rememeber texting the result of the Aironi v Biarritz game to a few incredulous Ulster fans around this time last season so...

Good evening.

MrsP, hope they aren't due another upset...

Another superb attendence at a Welsh home game.

Speak of the text receiver and he shall appear!

Evening Notch, Hughie and Gibbo!

Notch,

Meant to say I was talking to the big chief cook and bottle washer of ANI at Ravenhill the other night! Hadn't realised he was an Ulster fan!

All the cool kids are

Evening MrsP

Three nil to saracens atm, 8 minutes gone

That poor man.

You call him a cool kid and my son called him "the guy with the bling" when he was presenting medals in his official gear!

Is it going to be icy tomorrow in Béal Feirste MrsP?

I'm wondering how much work I'll have to do tomorrow.

Evening all, hope we're well.

Hughie, I've only just tuned in - has it been much of a game so far?

It doesn't look like it from the current forecast Notch.

I would imagine Phil and his hurdlers will be there. They are no trouble though. It Cross Country season just now so I can't see the track getting much use.

I'd say it will be deathly quiet.

In other words you should have no problems getting to see all the rugby you can on the WiFi!

Pre-cisely!

It was as dead as it ever has been last weekend. I'm imagining my shift on Christmas Eve will top it all though.

Not been great Luckless, beginning to get a bit of life into it now though. Scarcens lead 13-9

It lie its actually 13-6

Biarritz 0 - 12 Treviso

edinburgh also beating Blues - not sure what the score is.

Nah!

We have a HJ session on the 24th. The Indoor season fast approaches!

Ospreys are being completely suffocated in truth lucky. Yellow for repeated scrum offences now for the Os.

Ospreys really haven't looked like unlocking this Sarries defence. Doesn't help when you concede a charge-down try and now get a player sin-binned. 16 - 6 now.

Watching the game with a Welsh, rugby-playing, O's fan. He's not happy.

Games always ebb and flow.

Edinburg are handing out a lesson to Cardiff. How are they unbeaten in that group. They look as bad as they did the night I saw them in the RDS.

Are you still in GB Gibbo?

Are you staying till Christmas?

Kelly Brown, totally unsung, but he's in the form of his life - steals, tackles, runs - 1F but better

Asbo!

Yellow for James.

Is that a second player binned?

Treviso leading Biaritz at half time. What an upset that would be.

MrsP wrote:Asbo!

Apologies, I know, its like blasphemy, only wurz

No MrsP - Glas is a bit behind I think. James was sent off in the 37th minute.

It would indeed Rava!

How's the weather up there tonight?

I was expecting more of Edinburgh last weekend. The Blues didn't have to play that well to win.

Not blasphemy Asbo, just laughable wishful thinking on your part!

Evening pub

Hope everyone is well. I'm cream crackered! Small children are fun but tiring!

Stag, if you're about, Isobelle has taken the flag you gave her home with her. She was referring to you as Auntie K's friend but has now progressed to first name terms
