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

Ok MrsP, perhaps a bit OTT, but I think Ballymena girls have a lovely accent.

You're as bad as that Gibson fella is about Welsh then!

Nowt wrong with the way Alex Jones talks, she's a lovely accent too!

MrsP, I think it's because you imagine she is saying something nice about you even though she's not. You haven't a clue what your wan is saying but you think it's something amahzing.

So basically...

You like any woman as long as you don't understand what she's saying????

Is that so you have a better excuse for not listening to a word we tell you????

Shh, I don't want my secret to come out!

It's a hypothesis at the moment MrsP, we haven't worked out the kinks but ultimately I think you are correct.

Bear in mind I'm from the sticks, hard enough for those lad-di-dah East Bann folk to understand how I talk.

End of the day hi I tell ye sir hi the Ballymena accent hi cannae be bate hi, I tell ye, bate Methody hi sir hi!

There was a lad in my year from away SW of Enniskillen and I swear, for the first 6 months I hadn't a Scoobie what he was saying.

It got so bad that I even stopped asking him to repeat what he had said and just made as none commital and vague replies as I could manage!

Fermangh very droll at times. I have a quasi West Tyrone/East Donegal accent. Apprently.

Bate Methody?

Not at Rugby you didn't!

MrsP, Strabane Grammar couldn't beat anyone at Rugby*. Was referring to that time Ballymena Academy bate Methody in the semi final a few years back, have a few uni friends that went there, it was crazy.

Sure who likes Meothdy anyway?

*apart from Lurgan College

Sure who likes Methody???

Methody marginally preferable to Campbell who bought the Schools Cup last year.

So bitter lads. We understand.

I think I know how Munster fans feel!

You're all forgetting that I have Ballymena, Campbell, BRA and Inst friends through Uni. Never had a Methody friend........Also can't stand Regent or Foyle, they stole our cricket cups!!!!!!!

Big hole in the match day squad without those MCB lads, to say nothing of the Academy!

Nevin Spence, Chris Henry, Ian Whitten. All good Wallace lads. We win!

Craig Gilroy, Paul Marshall, Paddy Jackson and Adam Macklin.

Now, if you had gone to a good school you would know that 4 is more than 3!

And, Ian Whitten wasn't in the squad today!

How many of them boys have Irish caps.

*rests case*

Yet!

Evening all, lovely night out with the Sarries for our Christmas do which I feel I arranged quite well!!

Hope all are well and enjoying the incredible Leinster win and Glos victory!! Off to see my Gran tomorrow so nos da.

So, would you explain why this ewe was so expensive?

Will she have more lambs that are sold to eat or will she produce more milk or wool than the other ewes?

It's the same reason why Gucci bags are so expensive. Pedigree breeding is all about wanting to own and produce the best. That drives people to pay high prices for a small number of the most desirable stock. The irony is that other buyers just play the numbers game and buy to a budget. Poor ewes are very expensive relatively speaking because there is a customer out there for every pure bred ewe up to a certain figure, no matter how much rubbish she will produce, the best are hugely expensive, see above, but the ones that fall in-between are cheap comparatively to the poor ones as they will do a good job but won't necessarily produce any stars.

Great day for Irish rugby today

Is there a missing "," there somewhere?

Notch wrote:In like flynn. I'll get me mate Conor from the Donegal Gaeltacht to give me a hand with that. It'll help me break years of GAA conditioning and turn him to the rugby cause as well

Flip, they're both at it!

Notch wrote:God I'd love it if we could join up with Germany- they could run everything in the North, it would be great. Bloody get rid of the UK and the Tories and into the welcoming arms of the Motherland.

I mean, they practically own the rest of Ireland now right? Why not complete the set. The way things are going we could have a united Ireland under a German flag.

Tiochfaidh àr là- Deutschland uber alles!

Love it.

Took ya a wee while to work that one out pal.

Who needs an excuse?

Just got back from Quintan Rugby's Christmas bash in Stamford Brook. Old playground of mine.

Large drops of whiskey taken. Great craic and passion from their players and staff. I love rugby. And some of the looneys who play it. Most of the people Ive met supporting it. But. I've never seen so many naked male arses (in a pub) - in me life. It was their ritual dance. Apparently...

Happy Man. So much fun.


Missed the Leinster game. 1st time in 7/8 years. Dont care.

I love rugby. Proper whiskEy. And the compamy of smart, sexy wimmin. With bad attitudes.

Nite/morning regs. Love you long time

Morning/evening Gibbo.

Mornin Glas me aul segocia.

Feelin good.

Sitting in Putney station, hands frozen off me. It's Baltic

I had a horrible day at work yesterday, left home at 7.00 and got back in at 20.55, not a good day to be Phil.

All I wanted to do was shower, pour a stiff drink and watch the Leinster - Bath game that I'd got on Sky +.

"I just want to watch the final of Strictly Shoite Dancing" said Mrs Holybloke "then you can watch the game".

"But I've got to be up at 7.00 tomorrow and I could do with a good kip. Can't you record the final and watch it tomorrow when you've got all day?" Says I in what I think is a reasonable attempt to get my own way for a change.

"It's only on for an hour" she retorts "and besides, you really wont want to watch that after such a bad day."

Nice.

If I didn't love her so much - I dread to think.....

Congratulations to the boys in blue, I said before the two games that it would be a good indicator of where Bath are as a team and it is. I can't see Bath in anything other than the Amlin next year, and I think 3rd place in the group is the best they can hope for.

Changes need to be made down the Rec, it's a classic case of all the gear and no idea.

I'm off to do some collar, have a good day all.

I think she's actually done you a favour there PJ

The difference between the quality of the sides was not great, but the style and execution on the part of Leinster as a team was phenomenal. How many teams can make losing BOD look like an irrelevance? I've said it elsewhere but it was Total Rugby and when they play like that nobody in Europe stands a chance.

The only chance for the rest of us is that they are peaking too soon or that the 6N will knock the stuffing out of them. However Kidney coaching Ireland will mean that not too many players will get called into the National squad.

morning all, hope everyone's well.

made the mistake of consuming jager bombs yesterday, am not a very happy person this morning as a result!

Managed to watch Cwpan Heineken this morning, loves the tries in the Leinster v Bath match, some great ones to see there. They are looking scary good got to say.

I thought this might be a less headache inducing colour to use Dreamer.

Are you going to feel better or worse after your watching match later?

Hopefully better MrsP!! Can't get an idea of how the match is going to go though, I just want the Scarlets to actually turn up and perform today. What was so disappointing last week was that they just didn't play well, and I know the players were all disappointed with h ow they performed. Hopefully they'll rectify that later!

One under in vauxhall this morning, Sunday ruined in work


Hughies head is wrecked

Ymlaen y Scarlets, twlwch popeth at y diawled mewn coch!

Onwards Scarlets, throw everything at the men in red

Except the ball!

Well, yes

Hugh:

Nerves started now. Ymlaen Scarlets!!

Ond dim y bel (yn amlwg)

Anyone got a link to the Munster game?

Mickado, we all pull each other's legs in here, but I have to say Leinster yesterday were imperious. A truly excellent team playing for each other with flair and finesse but with a steely edge. Total Rugby.

PM for you Mickado!


Ha, who says Stevo can't make a break....

It was a really good performance alright Glas, good to see Luke Fitzgerald playing with a smile on his face again. Thought Toner was class too, and Kearney played a very clever game. Shame about conceeding the late tries though. Hopefully we haven't peaked early!

PM for Mickado, c/o Thomond
