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 pictures of Chris Paterson, Steve Thompson and Jonny Wilkinson above the bar!


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

(not you Mrs P, just quothing)

Well that's a relief I must say.

Although, I have to confess that I thought you were talking German.

Then the penny dropped!

Thinking about it, you'd have been in trouble during the witch hunts:

• flame haired temptress
  
• Medicine woman
  
• Dangerously independent minded
  
• Loads of children

Hmmm

"She's a witch, she's a witch!"

Burn her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well,

I think I can twitch the end of my nose so....

Glas,

You made that stuff up didn't you?

Can I watch?

There's gonna be a burnin... yeeehaaaa!

I used to have a crush on the nose twitcher.

She mixes up a potent soup for impressionable young traveling men. Men, who are never the same again once they slurp the wicked brew.

Yep. She's toast.

Don't you just love that pretty much the only way to prove you weren't a witch was to drown!

Only a man could have come up with that piece of genius logic!!!

Yeah Cymro. Remember her well. Lovely. But, I was thinking more this gal. Man. I was so in lust with this lady when I was em, growing through puberty. She accelerated it.

Good eh? But we kept the pretty ones who played Suzie Home-maker. In all fairness.

Fraid not.

I get the feeling I am in a Lose-Lose situation here!

I'll start the fire

This is all Stag's fault!!!

Yup. De Ref was the Witchfinder General.

A man of many talents.

CROWD: A witch! A witch! A witch! We've got a witch! A witch!

VILLAGER #1: We have found a witch, might we burn her?

CROWD: Burn her! Burn!

BEDEVERE: How do you know she is a witch?

VILLAGER #2: She looks like one.

BEDEVERE: Bring her forward.

WITCH: I'm not a witch. I'm not a witch.

BEDEVERE: But you are dressed as one.

WITCH: They dressed me up like this.

CROWD: No, we didn't -- no.

WITCH: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one.

BEDEVERE: Well?

VILLAGER #1: Well, we did do the nose.

BEDEVERE: The nose?

VILLAGER #1: And the hat -- but she is a witch!

CROWD: Burn her! Witch! Witch! Burn her!

BEDEVERE: Did you dress her up like this?

CROWD: No, no... no ... yes. Yes, yes, a bit, a bit.

VILLAGER #1: She has got a wart.

BEDEVERE: What makes you think she is a witch?

VILLAGER #3: Well, she turned me into a newt.

BEDEVERE: A newt?

VILLAGER #3: I got better.

VILLAGER #2: Burn her anyway!

CROWD: Burn! Burn her!

BEDEVERE: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.

CROWD: Are there? What are they?

VILLAGER #2: Do they hurt?

BEDEVERE: Tell me, what do you do with witches?

VILLAGER #2: Burn!

CROWD: Burn, burn them up!

BEDEVERE: And what do you burn apart from witches?

VILLAGER #1: More witches!

VILLAGER #2: Wood!

BEDEVERE: So, why do witches burn?

[pause]

VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?

BEDEVERE: Good!

CROWD: Oh yeah, yeah...

BEDEVERE: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?

VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.

BEDEVERE: Aah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?

VILLAGER #2: Oh, yeah.

BEDEVERE: Does wood sink in water?

VILLAGER #1: No, no.

VILLAGER #2: It floats! It floats!

VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!

CROWD: The pond!

BEDEVERE: What also floats in water?

VILLAGER #1: Bread!

VILLAGER #2: Apples!

VILLAGER #3: Very small rocks!

VILLAGER #1: Cider!

VILLAGER #2: Uhhh, gravy!

VILLAGER #1: Cherries!

VILLAGER #2: Mud!

VILLAGER #3: Churches -- churches!

VILLAGER #2: Lead -- lead!

ARTHUR: A duck.

CROWD: Oooh.

BEDEVERE: Exactly! So, logically...,

VILLAGER #1: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.

BEDEVERE: And therefore--?

VILLAGER #1: A witch!

CROWD: A witch! A witch! A witch!

BEDEVERE: We shall use my largest scales!

[yelling]

BEDEVERE: Right, remove the supports!

[whop]

[creak]

CROWD: A witch! A witch!

WITCH: It's a fair cop.

CROWD: Burn her! Burn her!

[yelling]

BEDEVERE: Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?

ARTHUR: I am Arthur, King of the Britons.

BEDEVERE: My liege!

ARTHUR: Good Sir knight, will you come with me to Camelot, and join us at the Round Table?

BEDEVERE: My liege! I would be honored.

ARTHUR: What is your name?

BEDEVERE: Bedevere, my leige.

ARTHUR: Then I dub you Sir Bedevere, Knight of the Round Table.

[Narrative Interlude]

NARRATOR: The wise Sir Bedevere was the first to join King Arthur's knights, but other illustrious names were soon to follow: Sir Launcelot the Brave; Sir Galahad the Pure; and Sir Robin the Not-quite-so-brave-as-Sir-Launcelot who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor,who had nearly stood up to the viscious Chicken of Bristol and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill; and the aptly named Sir Not-appearing-in-this-film. Together they formed a band whose names and deeds were to be retold throughout the centuries, the Knights of the Round Table.

Awesome film!!!!

You know that all that craic started in Essex. Imagine yerman coming back now and walking the high streets of Essex? Chav Hell.

I think he'd top himself.

MrsP can you swim?!

JEYBUS !!!! YIKES

?


Maybe?

Why?

Hi all, been reading this blooming article online. Makes it easy to stray onto 606. Tis not about what they did to em but what it meant to be a witch.

She floats!! She must be a witch

I'm not you know!

Just cos I'm surrounded by toads on here doesn't make me a witch!!!

Packed lunches!!!!

Only a witch would deny it!

Ah MrsP i've been nice to you for quite a while so needed to let off some steam!!

I love your definition of dunking a woman and then burning her at the stake is

"letting off steam"

Prop!

Very literal!

Didn't even think of that!! Check me out being a little bit clever cheers MrsP!!

MrsP wrote:I love your definition of dunking a woman and then burning her at the stake is

I'd call it "very medieval" rather than "very literal" Mrs P.

Then again it's a few years since I did that "Witch-Hunting in the Middle Ages" history course.

Did witches play rugby then?

Indeed Kiwi,

Although I was kinda meaning the effect the fire would have on a person who had just been dunked in the pond!

Intense heat + water =...

burning times





Seems apt for now

Looks like Quade Cooper's been a naughty boy. Again. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/6212493/Quade-Cooper-banned-from-pub

I just saw that too Kiwi. He broke up with Stephanie Rice too I see.
I'm sick of all these clowns... one after the other it seems.
I would rather have Berrick Barnes outside Genia anyway.

(good to see Michael Jackson is alive and well on Straddy, btw)

Evening/morning all.

prop, I'm not being funny (and you're a front row forward), but how old are you? I used to do 3 and a 1/4 miles of Regents Park Outer Circle in 16 minutes at the age of 21 when I lived in central London. Then a 2 mile run (including a 1/4 mile 1 in 15 hill) in 9 minutes when I moved to Sudbury.

I just always found that trying to do shorter distances at the quickest pace you could was better for cardio-vascular reasons, and lung capacity.

I'm shot to bits now though

Morning all

Morning Asbo...

I'm just watching India have a hard day in the field.

Punter 134, Clarke 251* Hussey 54* Australia are 482/4 and have a 1st innings lead of 291 runs.

Very hot day here but now the southerly wind has arrived. It's dropped about 10 degrees already.

Bore da pawb / good morning all. I'm back at my desk and it doesn't feel like I've been away - although I drove in, which I much prefer to cycling in!

Ooh swish! Christmas presant or purchase?

It's my housemate's car, Glas, not mine. I get to use it when he's not. I still have to save some shekels before I can get my own motor.

The Six Nations starts four weeks on Saturday. Excellent. I know Stag, in particular, loves the Six Nations.

Morning all.

Brisk, sunny morning here.

luckless_pedestrian wrote:The Six Nations starts four weeks on Saturday. Excellent. I know Stag, in particular, loves the Six Nations.

Indeed. Though I'll be a busy boy with the 6 Nations. I'll be at quite a few of them this year so maybe I'll fall in love with them. Ireland v Wales, France v Ireland, Ireland v Italy, Wales v France.

Im hoping the game as a neutral will win me over.

I think a person's opinion of the Six Nations depends on what he (or she) goes in expecting to see. If someone wants above all else to see good rugby, he (or she) may well be disappointed; but I love the Six Nations because it means so much, whether or not the rugby is of the highest standard.

Yes thats true. I find it leaves me horribly unsatisifed. Its like seeing a beautiful girl with the personality of an old mop. Nice but no real substance to it.

Surely it's more like the Six Nations is a middle-aged woman who can still scrub up well when she tries, but who sometimes leaves the house without having a shower and brushing her hair?
