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 Sergio Parisse and Owen Farrell above the bar.

I thought you might be fairly happy As.

Good win mate

19 - 11 Congrats ASBO !!!

Played the Chiefs, .

Glad your Ma's back home Penfro, AND you've been a busy man sorting out tickets for the regs by all accounts. Take a bow bud....

PJ - I can't help it, twas the way I was dragged up. By my mam(my) like

Blazing Saddles. Epic.

You're a top man Penfro, FACT, end of. Pleased to hear about your ma though, that's a load off isn't it?

Glas, "Badges? We don't need no steenkin badges!"

How's lambing going?

Stop start PJ. Monday or Tuesday will be big days.

Lambs are probably the cutest things on Earth, if I were a sheep farmer, I think I'd have the largest sheep farm ever - I couldn't sell them.

I know a guy who plays drums in a folk band called 'The Lambing Season'. Ridiculous name. If you say the skinny hipster jeans and perfectly placed just messy enough to look unpremeditated hair, you would hawk in disgust.

Why have a band called 'The Lambing Season' comprised of hip city kids who have never been near a farm? And would never?

Pathos Notch, them there Greeks have got a lot to feckin answer for, no mistake.

Wasn't he a Musketeer?

hmmmm, probably.

Pathos, Ethos, Dartagnian and Eric wasn't it?

RIP Whitney. I will always love you...

Morning pub. Still amazingly peed off about events yesterday evening.

Stag was at the match wasnt he? Be interesting to hear what they fans in the stadium were told about any re-imbursment

Morning Billy.

Yeah, it was a shame. Got up bright and early only to be told that I could "go back to bed" by Gordon Bray and his cohorts.

I also missed the England game. Ridiculous starting time. However, I'll be up for the Wales-Scotland match on at 0250 here...

Morning breaker. Yeah we were all well upset last night, i went off into a fantasy land where ROG was making crunching tackles on players like Picamoles

Morning all from chilly Wealdistan.

Off out in a mo for more rugby punishment. Wasps v Sarries at 13:15. It's on ESPN so my money is on a load of us watching it in the pub in Wycombe, followed by Wales v Scotland. Thankfully I had the foresight to book tomorrow off - today could get messy....very messy

Was that on around the 75th minute? The dream... that is.

What was the scoreline? Or was it one of those dreams where certain important factors were glossed over or omitted completely?
For the record, I reckon it would have been a closer match with both teams scoring under 21 points.

Morning hound. Have a great day there

I didnt finish the match in my head breaker, after thinking about ROG making such crunching tackles i started to question my sanity

Ha Billy, I can just see him hurling himself into Picamoles' kneecaps...

Seriously though - it's great that you actually dreamt ROG "doing" something and attempting the tackle... rather than standing back, neither here nor there... and simply "believing" a tackle could possibly be made on Picamoles.
That's a good sign for Ireland.

ROG was immense in my mind yesterday breaker. It was his defence that knocked the French out of their playing pattern

Yeah, and Ferris somewhat redeemed himself after his up & down performance against Wales. The French were getting very frustrated at the breakdown at times and it was good to see Ireland exploiting this.

Morning all.

I've got a splitting headache again this morning. At least yesterday morning I could blame the booze from Friday. Didn't touch a drop yesterday though

I see the Irish cricket team is 56/7 vs Kenya at lunch on day 1 of a 4-day game in Mombassa. Not much chance of the match being called off for a frozen pitch there either

Welcome to my world breaker. Its great isnt it

Morning Kiwi, i had no idea that the Irish were playing to be honest.

Me neither, just saw the headline on Cricinfo when I was looking up the Aus vs Ind score.


They've got a good article up about cricket as a unifying force in Afghanistan - it seems even the Taliban are fans.

Morning pub

Off to my mum's later on this morning to help her sort out stuff. She's putting her house on the market so is having a grand clear-out. Several trips to the tip for me today I suspect.

Though a break between 3.00pm and 5.00pm has been scheduled

Are Aus India playing today? I thought that was yesterday lol

Morning swanny:D

India 138/2 after 28 chasing 269 EB.

Morning Swanny

I'm about to sign off and make some porridge for brekkie, catch you all later.

Morning Billy, and Kiwi, and anyone else who's lurking

And for breakfast. Sunday treat

Morning Swanny.

Great to hear you're busy with the new job. Well done!

Sad news about Whitney Houston she was a brilliant performer.

Morning LB,

Thank you, my bodyclock is still in shock! It's certainly put paid to my night owl tendencies. It's all good though

Indeed Cymro, heard it on the radio earlier.

Morning All

Have fun at the tip Swanny!

Cymro - Yes, I feel sorry for her daughter losing her mum so soon. However, I don't mean to sound crass, but there's something inevitable to the point of cliché about famous drug users dying young in hotel rooms. Still, I hope that she's fondly remembered for her talent rather than her decline, although I don't think the media will be that kind.

Yes, very sad news about Whitney Houston. RIP

Me too. Up early and to bed earlier than previously.

Bore da pawb / good morning all.

So Gordon Bray's still going is he, Breaker? He's the voice of the 1989 Lions tour for me, I don't know how many times I watched the video of that tour when I was younger.

It's sad to hear about Whitney Houston, it always is when someone dies young; but I was never a fan really.

Thanks Cari

I gotta go, have a good day all!

He's still going lucky... since about 1980 at least, so 32 years. He lived in the same suburb where I grew up.

Andrew Blades and Stirling Mortlock also grew up in Lindfield.
Nick Farr Jones lives just up the road. He had a near miss a couple of years ago when some young lady driver clipped his headlights coming around a corner too fast.

He was sitting shaken by the side of the road and my Mum offered him a glass of water.

Then there's a few newsreadrers, radio announcers like Mike Carlton, Jono Coleman, and that Ian "Dicko"Dickson guy from Australian Idol. (I once grabbed a box of cereal before he did as he was standing there undecided in a supermarket aisle) He couldn't make a quick decision if his life depended on it!

I remember Gordon Bray when i was in OZ. He was working for the ABC then, Whe i was there there were only 7, SBS, 9, 10 and ABC. Always great cricket coverage on the ABC though

As is Gerry Addams.

Went to hand keys to our new tenants today and the guy was wearing an Ulster jersey.

Morning all, disappointing that the game was callled off last night. It should have been called off days ago. Hope all is good.

Yes, ABC radio is a few seconds ahead of CH 9 so you can't sync the two.

ABC - local Shute Shield rugby live, hockey, bowling!
SBS - mainly international football, local football
7 (72, 73) - Aussie Rules, Tennis, Rugby Internationals
9 (Gem) - Cricket, NRL

Also, a week after Stag finally admitted to liking the Six Nations, I think he will be back to hating them again.

I am waiting for the rant now

Morning again. Just seen in TRP that the 'real' Sarries kicked Llanrumney's ass 16-12 away. Good stuff Penfro and prop

Also, Aaron Ramsey's last 4 Arsenal goals have coincided with the deaths of famous people. (Bin laden,Gadaffi,Jobs and Houston)
