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 John Hayes, Craig Gilroy,
Niall O'Connor, Ben Skirving and Jonny May above the bar!

And Asbo went all the way to Iceland to see Rory when he needn't have bothered as half the country can see it. But don't tell him that last bit!

I think the Ospreys will really click next year under the leadership of Ashley Beck. Biggar and Bishop will sort themselves out and the back three will run tries in for fun. Missing AWJ is telling, but I think with him back, Ianto and Ryan fit, it will be a case of look out.

I haven't suddenly become either Cari. I will be part of the Integrated Consultant's Team as CDM Co-ordinator. Mainly co-ordinating all aspects of Health and Safety in the Design and Construction process.

Cari wrote:Congratulations to Rava...since when did he become a builder/architect? I definitely have been away too long...

He is involved in a health and safety company. Hows all with you Cari.

Well, he's not actually building Ravenhill, more making sure they don't drop any bricks on supporters' heads while the builders build it!

And of course getting me my own box.

Did I mention that I was watching the Tiger's match from a box?

Oh I see Rava...good work for you, sounds ideal. Good for your business too.

Staggy - mustn't grumble.

ha aye building not quite accurate, but its still jus brilliant! amazing for you Rava

Sure grumble if you want Cari. If your not in a great mood, then share the load.

Dreamer imagine if you could have resdeigned Stradey or done the new stadium.

What would you have changed.

hmmm, good question. With the new stadium I think I'd ahve made sure we had terracing behind both posts too, reckon that would be better for when we open up the west and east stand. But then part of our plan to ensure we have capacity to host a QF is that we can put in temp seating there, so that won't work.

I'm not the biggest fan of the corners of the stadium being open, but if they'd put in seating there, I think it would have been too big then.

Not many changes I'd make at all really. Compared to Stradey it's a palace! There's good toilet facilities, I love the terracing and there's enough bars etc (even if they aren't staffed well enough). Can't comment on the South Stand though and what it's like in there, as have never been there!

Stradey would have cost too much to be developed, seriously it needed a massive overhaul, would have costed far too much. Although, I do still miss it.

Dinner time!

Ah no Staggy. The world is full of sadness as it is, and this forum is supposed to be an escape from all that. Also I don't pour out my heart at the best of times, let alone on a public forum. So, I'm going to have a hot shower and send my woes down the plughole I think. Just popped my head around the virtual door really, and everyone seems on good form anyway.

Glad that you did pop your head round the door Cari, we miss you in here

And righty, dinner, reading and early night for me.

Have lovely evenings all

Did not know till today that Lee Byrne had maried Andrea Benfield

Evening all, Cari

For anyone who's not off to dinner, a friend's just sent this puzzler:
"Can you think of a situation where a product/innovation/idea was unsuccessful and not accepted by society, but became a success when reintroduced years later?"

(his girlfriend is after examples for her dissertation).

8:20 netball game tonight, so I'm staying at work for another hour to stay out of the weather.

I didnt know that you work for a QHSE company Rava. If you company needs extra work, drop me a line mate as i am looking to hire some QHSE co-ordinators.

The fax. Wasn't a version invented in Scotland that never took off?

The best invention that i can think of that was unpopular kiwi was a project that i am working on. Harnessing windpower and transorming it into electricity, when it was first brought in it was deemed useless now we cant keep up with the demands to build towers and power stations for them.

Ok techknowledgy has developed and made it more a possibility and financially sound but its a good example i feel

Hey Cari. We've all felt like this, but remember; Scott Johnson won't be in charge of the Ospreys forever!

Jokes. Take care of yourself though, ok? We all care about you.

I initially read Kiwis post like this;

Kiwi, I'm not sure if the James Dyson story fits the bill.

No just saber-rattling,,, The IRB wont change their mind on this one they have already said he is ineligible to play for Scotland.

Jenny Agutter looks like Kia.

Thats me back in from the privy.

They are considering a determination aren't they, some sort of appeal.

Shes aged well

I'm off to run around in the rain.

Just like Steve Diamond said, they're all fat, lazy bar-stewards (may be slightly paraphrasing)

Yes Gibbo. The week after Dublin is blast off in maternity ward 10.

Only the Scots Asbo.

Ah I'll be ok. Shouldn't be a problem. No team will out do me.

Hound, glad you're on the mend, bud. I tried Einstok, an Icelandic Pale Ale, at the weekend - quite tasty

Think you'll find he was talking about your friend Mr Barnes!

Must be such an exciting time on the farm. Not to mention - bloody hard work. Really gratifying though Id imagine.

Hope you, Dreamer and your mates, have a blast in Dublin man.

Love to be there as well. But Im going to the Ireland Scotland game. And the HC knockouts have financial priority.

Once he wasn't talking about me Asbo.

Theres no refs union - plenty of the buggers I cant stand.
