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 Rhys Thomas, Ben Castle, Andy Fenby and Bill McLaren above the bar!

Why are you nervous about the trip dreamer?

Once you are in Dublin, all will be good

Well I haven't flown anywhere for like 3 years, and I've never travelled anywhere by myself before really (not a journey outside of Wales or England anyways!).

Will be completely fine once I get there tis just I get a bit stressed out travelling, so will look forward to a relaxing asap!

Oh ok, well once you take that first pint in Dublin, it will all be worth it

I probably spend about a month out of every year on planes so i hate the sight of them

ha well I used to love flying when I was really young, have gone off it the older I've gotten though! Still, I prefer it to travelling by car.


And ooo just registered my interest with teh Scarlets for the Brive trip. My best mate can't make it now, so makes sense for me to go in a big group instead of by myself, it's been so long since I've studied French I'd probs end up in completely the wrong place!

ah I like stories like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16812545

Well done MrsP on the right answer.

Not so well done to Mr As Du on the wrong answer

Evening All.

Glad to see Tommy's in for Sunday's match. Really looking forward to that and the matches on Saturday beforehand. In Cardiff they're giving out this really funny free Six Nations magazine. Well worth a read if anyone can get one. It's largely written from a Welsh fans perspective, but amusing all the same

For our Cari...

P.S Im getting you a bike.

No effing way!! I haven't been on a bike since 1984!!

Jaysus Gibbo, on that film Amsterdam almost looks like a nice place to live

You vil ride de fiets ja? And, you never forget how to.

It's just like.. riding a bike...

...or a bloke...?

Evening all. Blydi cold for bike riding

I love my City, Billy. Ive lived all over NL. And this, for moi, this the only place to live. Ik weet Nederland beter dan de Nederlandse.

I love the countryside too. I love it all. Lived in Brabant (Eindhoven, Helmond, Bakel & Bladel) , Limburg (Born/Sittard) , Zwolle, Alkmaar, Bergen, Leimuiden, Amstelveen...

Im in Islamabaad now. Osdorp.

When I look out my window, I just see a lake and a park. That eases the pain.

If she got it right, it must be a South African stadium.

Oh yeah Glas bud. Good point. We are 3 years old on the 20th March.

I really hope you and Dreamer + mates, have a fantastic time in Dubh Linn. Just not at the game roysh. You are in great hands with Mickado, Stag and Micky T. Speaking of which, I have some vids & pics to upload to Faceache.

Rava & Micky T dancing - is one of them. Brilliant. Pished people having a wonderful Christmas time.

Keep on eye on the FB Dew Drop.

Rav, and there's more. You are such a sluh man! I mean like an Ulster tart.


Love you for it.

How are we all on this freezing Wendesday? Dreamer, I'm a bit like you, get a bit frazzled pre flight thinking I'll feck something up or forget something, once you're in the airport it's fine though. I love airports actually great laugh exploring them.

"Feck off when the Cork man comes in is it?"

I feel like Roy Keane all the time.

Kurting?

Thomond - glad it's not just me that gets like taht before travelling!

and blah, still have yet to pack, am hoping my heater has done it's job and it's actually warm enough to go into my room by now so I can get started. My flat is a blydi ice box this evening.

Just chucked a log on the wood burner. Sweltering, phew!

Thomond. Grayson gone! Warnock in do you think?

Grayson has had feck all money to work with and his best players have been sold by Bates. He has brought in some average guys like Nunez but he hasn't done a terrible job. There are guys like Dougie Freedman in Palace who are doing better work with less resources. I wouldn't want Warnock,he probably won't get it. Roberto Di Matteo might.

Lazio v Inter .. arrrrghhh!

Dreamer, all you need is your passport, ticket and plastic. You can beg, borrow, steal or even buy anything else you need!

Grayson will walk into a new job. Did excellent things at Leeds. Any championship club would be lucky to have him.

I hope those travelling across the water have safe and happy journeys this weekend. Very envious of you.

Dreamer - you'll be fine I'm sure. If I can do it on my own having never been in an airport in my life before, then I'm sure you can. Just give yourself patience, time, chill out and it'll happen.

Cari, Puma - diolch Have got my passport, printed out boarding pass thingy's and money all at the ready, just need to remember to pick them up before I head out the door

Remember folks on the Beeb tonight at 10:45pm - a documentary about Grav

I'm going to watch Bouncers on Channel 4 at 10pm - should be hilarious. Or make me cringe...

I am posting this again in case anyone has missed it.

I have created a Mini League for the Guinness Fantasy Rugby if anyone fancies it.

Alright there folks


Lying on the bed, sometimes its nice just to chill here, I really miss having a tellybox in my room sometimes.


Dreamer enjoy Dublin to its max, get peed in a random bar with random locals, end up at some strangers party (stranger danger, what's that.??) Wander the streets of temple bar at night and take in what Irish musical culture has to offer, stroll through the streets by day on Dublins literary tour, see the sinn fein shop. Take a lunch with the ducks in Stephens Green and dinner with Leo Burdock. Meet a handsome bachelor as you walk along the liffey, stop and pose for a picture with Joyce Yates Kavanagh Wilde and Molly. Do it all, do nothing, do whatever you want and don't worry no one will rush you

OMG - is anyone watching this Bouncers programme? I won't tell the story here that the bouncer just said describes "a proper Newport girl" I'm just glad I'm from Cardiff!!

If anyone wants a laugh....put on channel 4 for Bouncers......look out for Lucky and Rev

It's not your average Wales Tourist Board fare is it?

"If I could describe Newport in three words it'd be "what a sh*t hole"

"But that's four words".

"Oh sh*t!"

Ah it's appealing for me Cari although makes me think about whether a Newport gal is the right idea

Prop - don't blame you! I'm not surprised at some of the doormen's stories though...

Haha Cari!! I'd never make that judgement.....she's posh Newport!!

Prop - I just hope you don't see her on this!!! Is that her there?

This isn't specific to Newport, bouncers across the country must have incredible stories.

I bet they do Willy, someone could write a book on them. Sadly this behaviour isn't unique to Newport...still, I bet a few more people will head out down there this weekend...

haha nah Cari....I think she'd be too 'cool' to be like that!!

Here that blond ain't half bad. Where exactly I this Newport place?

Willy: it's right by Cardiff!!

Grav Grav Grav

Never mind the buzzcocks - cant stand it usually, but Frankie Boyle was presenting tonight. As long as he doesn't try too hard he is hilarious.

I love never mind the buzzcocks.

I'm also increasingly fond of Newport. Booking plane tickets now.
