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 Nigel Walker, Stephen Ferris, and Planet Rugby's team of the round above the bar!

I did indeed Mick() and I have offered to go there in exchange for this student!

So long as it can be arranged before Saturday!

Seriously though, if you find out the age of the lad etc it may work if he is around our wee fella' vintage.

Let me know!

I don't belieeeeve it. Last week was the water up through the floorboards. Now, as I'm preparing my dinner - drip! - on my head. Look up - water dripping from the ceiling. Arghhhhh.

Awh no Puma!

Is it pipes or roof that's the problem?

You cooking in the cellar,Puma?

I live in a Victorian villa that was converted into two flats about 50 years past. The upstairs is being used as a holiday let so there's nobody in just now. Have contacted the owners - they live in Manchester! - found the spare keys, turned off the water (no sign of a leak, must be under the floorboards) and now wait for further developments or the plumber, whichever arrives first! Oh, the excitement.

Puma,
Girl, check the pipes leading down from the water tank. Find the valves to turn off. And call a plumber.

Water coming up is bad news, but water coming down is... well it can feic yer house.

Sorted.

Howdy howdy howdy.

Just wanted to register brief but sincere thanks for all the kind and warm posts in here on Saturday. I rarely get time to post in the pub - and now I'll get even less. I'll have to limit myself solely to the most crucial posts - inter-provinicial bickering and put-downs. So thanks - genuinely - to the "usual suspects".

Wee Ruan Stephen Darren Andrew Chris John Paddy Dan Rory Johann Pedrie Stefan Tom Ian Alfonso tha ms you as well. (I hate the name "Craig".)

Quaint and couthy is fine until this sort of thing happens - then a nice new modern box starts to have some appeal!

What about a quaint, couthy (eh?) new box?

Just call him Ulster for short!

Delighted to hear about your new addition Don.

I hope you didn't do what MrP did while I was in labour with our second. Disappeared with my obstetrician to watch the first half of the Scotland v France game, came to check on me at half time and then disappeared again till the final whistle!

I'm just glad Ireland weren't playing that day!

Evening all, knackered after squash!! Hope all are well, if anyone's about in an hour i'd be up for whacking a few quid in the jukebox....going to have a first!!

Mrs P - no, I was watching the first half on the interweb, and then had to take over the putting of the first two Alfonsinos - Spartacus and Erasmus - to bed, as Lady Alfonso started to sense something was up. So the score was a delghtful surprise on Saturday morning.

Beautiful.

Notch told us.

You do pick yer timing though man.

Did he see Trimble's 2nd try itself?

What a night eh!

Most of us won't forget it but you will have the best reason of all to remember.

Fantastic!

Did you ever get to see the second half?

Evening all

I'm having a Scott Walker evening Prop, you may want to bar me from the jukebox!

And congrats on the new arrival Don

Congrats Don!! Ok Swanny I'll note that!! You've got 20mins to get it out of your system

Oi Swanny!

Saw the TG4 highlights, then some more online.

Some performance.

If you are nice to Notch, he might know someone who knows someone who may help.

But you probably have more than enough on your plate just now anyway.

Was great though!

Did you get to see Paddy Wallace dump Croft into touch on his ...shorts!

Oi Gibbo!

I that! Thanks I'm listening to this now

Hi Swanny, not a thing wrong with that. You control the jukebox for as long as you want.

Sums up the feelings of a lot of us before the weekend.

Who put 10p in you!

Don, a million congratulations to you and your missus. You must be thrilled.

Gibbo I was just about to reply to your last message. Why remove it? It wasn't controversial.

It's the great one's birthday today lads. Try and guess who I'm talking about....


Congrats to Don Alfonzo, no chance you will be calling the youngest Corleone,no?

+1 from the sounds of it, you're an old hand at this gig - just brilliant

Ah I thought it was a wee bit demeaning to his Mother and to lots of other Ma's & Da's, who earnestly mean the best for their kids. People who have never had the education or Life's experience to know or say any different. Not her fault.

Thats all bud.

Loving this Stars program on BEEB. Love where it is going. 12 year olds, asking awkward questions, about the Universe and yer man - Smiley Cox - answering like an excited child himself.

Excellent.

Beats the Christian Brothers.

Ah yea but true too. Yer ones idea was that German offered most EU connections and to her Spanish meant holidays and mud huts in S.America.

Thats the way people are thinking now.

So, what's really changed in Millennia?

Just different lingual grunts. And X-Factor.

I have to say I think Wilde got it wrong.

Everyone is looking at the stars. . . .but some of us are lying in the gutter.

Portuguese would be another valuable langauage to learn. The Brazilians are developing their economy pretty quickly. You can see it in the soccer, 10 years ago a talent like Neymar would have been gone long ago but he is still there. Guys like Ronaldinho and Elano have gone back there too. They are on tjheir way. Umbragado or however you spell it.

Its probably been said but Munster have brought Felix Jones into their Heineken Cup registered squad. He replaces Peter Stringer who is at Saracens.

Also Dolphin prop youngster Christy Condon replaces John Hayes.

Glas - brilliant! Haven't heard that in years!

Here. If j was going to purchase my first Steely album, where should I start?

Stag is Jones anywhere near getting back to fitness?

Some of us live amongst the stars. And are watching the gutter-dwellers intently, and judging them silently and harshly.

According to RTE News he is set to be fully fit for Munster's next Rabo Direct Pro 12 match against Aironi on 12th February.

Too right your in the stars. Your on Cloud 9,

P.S. - Rava APPARENTLY Condon is "reknowned for his scrummaging ability" (according to RTE).

I don't want to sound like an ingracious oaf, but grown men calling me "daddy" on an nternet forum weirds me out. I appreciate the gesture, but...

Don, look at the bright side. They could be saying things like "Who's your Daddy?".....

Oh ok sorry don I didn't know.

In that case. . . .ITS YOUR NEW NICKNAME

Excellent news. That boy wont be stopped. Kearney may soon have to play understudy - to his understudy.

Its the Leinster Way.

Gibson, if Howlett was fit, Jones would have to work hard to get into the team. Denis Hurley has actually had a great European Cup at fullback in his absense. Jones has been missed but not that badly.

Zeebo's the daddy. Always watch the guy with rolled down socks.
