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 picture of Maxime Medard* above the bar!


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

* While the other suggestion of Owens, Thomas and Hughie had merit, I couldn't face having Hughie's mug on the wall

Morning all got a shock last night when the hotel gave me the wrong hotel room and i discovered it was already occupied by two nuns.

There's a punchline coming...

Something about "bad habit"...

Novice error?

So there was nun of this or nun of that Stag

Morning All. Quite frosty this morning.

The biggest game at Ravenhill in a long long time. Confidence is high. This could be the next "step" that all teams allude to. Judging from the comments yesterday (mostly fair), Ulster have yet to convince that they are serious challengers on the European stage. Tonight will provide the answers to a lot of those questions. SUFTUM.

Morning Stag - you in Clermont already or did you stay overnight in Dublin?

G'day Mick & Rava.

Morning breaker!

Rav, I’m looking forward to this game myself. told herself I’m going to the pub for a match at 8 o’clock, she can come with but I will be ignoring all non-rugby chat. She decided to stay at home

Morning all.

OK, I've done it, I feel slightly dirty tho - went against my heart and gone with my head

- skip the this morning, thanks

So you've picked Leinster in the SG then? Good move Asbo.

Thought of posting this the other day but never got round to it

I did that, but not the other Lei...ster

Your heart said...?

Morning Mrs P. Text coming your way. Posh crisps will be served

Oh dear As. You've started a sh1t storm here this morning

I'll be making my picks at lunch time i think. Once more of the teams are announced.

MrsP, you shall go to the ball - not out of those rags, lovely, and let's get you in a proper meringue frock!!

Wooo Hoooo!

So long as the GPs are willing and my temp doesn't continue to rise any further I'm off to the match tonight!!!!!

Rava.



At least you won't catch my cold with a virtual hug!!

Morning all.


Just about to do my sg picks. Ohhh the temptation to wind some people up

Hughie.....

Now, tell the truth...

How are you feeling this morning Mrs P?
All ready for the Tiger-taming again tonight?

bore da/morning all,

Friday is upon us

Not doing my SG picks until lunch time. Made the mistake of checking where I was (am 8th!) so feeling the pressure to get them right this week

NErves already starting for tomorrow.

Just now my tiger taming powers are at a fairly low ebb I have to say. Just off back to bed to recuperate and get my temp down.

The players will have to feel my support tonight as I may not be at full volume.

Lucky gits :green:

ah no MrsP, sorry to hear you're not feeling well for you, hope you feel much better by this evening!

Thanks all,

Knowing I'll be there will give me a goal to get better super fast. I only have a cold afterall, not anything serious like man flu!

Asbo!!!



Don't make me laugh, my head hurts!!!

I've backed Northampton

Good man, Hoog, twas the only sensible way to go

Hughie - am almost tempted to pick them myself (I could never actually go through with it!) with the rumours about Monty possibly not playing. He's been our form back. Tough tough game, Saints deffo favourites, sensible choice for those who don't understand the magic the HEC can work on the Scarlets

Morning all!!!! Stupidly stayed up till 2.30 last night so knackered and not in the mood for a NEETS seminar!!

Can't wait to play tomorrow and hopefully back for the Glaws match after woo!!

Morning all, frosty sunny morning here.

Question, does this count as "gloating"?

Either way, living near Heathrow means I'll have a chance of spotting it.

I have just realised what the date is

I really wish I hadn't!


Kiwi - it would be amazing to see that!

Morning all. Nearly at Gatwick en route to Rovigo. Andy had to pull out of this trip at the last minute as his mum has taken a serious turn for the worse. He's heading up north to see his folks.

I feel for him, but it is odd doing an away trip without him.

Hound , have a ball, my friend, altho I already know for certain that you will - hope the situation with Andy's mum improves

Aye, last time Leicester came to Ravenhill they were meant to rock us;

33-0. Doubt they'll be so complacent this time.

Morning Hound, have a wonderful time out in Rovigo. Sorry to hear that about Andy's mum though

Have a great trip Hound. And please pass on my best wishes to Andy if you get the chance.

Sorry to burst your bubble Notch but George Hook said that one didn't count because Toulouse played poorly. If we win tonight it won't count either because we have a load of saffers in the side.

Not at all mate - it looks beautiful.

Sorry to hear you're not 100% Mrs P. Hope that cuppa and the lie down is recharging your usual energy levels.

Thanks for the good wishes folks, and your thoughts have been passed to Andy. His mum isn't expected to make it. The big C is a bitch. Got both of mine too.

I'm in the Flying Horse (JDW) at Gatwick with a pint of Adnams Old Ale for company. Haven't had a drop of this stuff for many a year. Yum!

oooh it's pay day, I forgot!

also just realised that for those of you who follow the old year calander: Happy New Year!


Hound - a the big C is horrible, that got my grandma, nasty nasty. Glad you're enjoying your though

What's even better dreamer, is that I'm at a table with an adjacent socket and am on the pub's free wi-fi. So much quicker when posting stuff.

An hour to blast off - better visit Boots to get a mini Lynx deodorant. That's the trouble with low cost airlines. If you don't want to pay to put your bag in the hold (in which case all 'normal size' toiletries can go in the bag), you have to buy expensive 100ml bottles of stuff airside.

One for the wall: https://www.606v2.com/t21808-scarlets-v-northampton-saint-parc-y-scarlets-140112-ko-130pm

Nice one on the free Wi-fi Hound

And aye too true about the pain airlines can been about things like that, most annoying.

And your point is?!

He's rating how hot they are, I think.

Afternoon all. Looking forward to tonights game and hoping that Ulster can get the win. I know Rava expects a TBP but if i was an Ulster fan i would be happy with the win

Do they travel well?

I should add that its also possible for Ulster to get the TBP but i just dont see it happening personally.
