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 Ben Morgan, Stuart Hogg, Simon Zebo and birthday boy Penfro above the bar.

What's the difference between Gymru and Cymru?

Cymru starts with a C and is therefore subject to mutation to Gymru with a G after certain words

For, on, at, by, without, whilst, from, oh and to.

Therefore Oh Wales becomes O Gymru.

Well I could see that Cymru started with a C and Gymru started with a G.



Now I know why.

Thanks.

Its the same word but the first letter is often changed depending on the word that comes before it, Its called mutate 'treiglo' in Welsh.

Ah you got the answer in stereo

Shwmae Cymro, siwd mae'n hongian?

Jeez you welsh are a complicated bunch first thing in the morning.

Thanks lads.

I prefer Cymro's less condescending version.

Or,

I prefer the less condescending version by Gymro!

Sorry, I wasn't being condescending - it only applies to c p t b d and g.

So,

You didn't mean to gondescend?

MrsP, it sounds like the urú in Irish if you know about that.
Also if people who don't have irish have to watch a game on TG4: http://www.tg4.ie/en/programmes/rugby-on-tg4/dictionary.html

Hope everybody is well, I arrived home last night after a few days in Cyprus.

Or,

...a few days on Gyprus!

Do they go in pairs?

I mean does C always change to G, B always becomes...?

Morning all

Feast of rugby in store today.

Wins for Ireland, ENGLAND, Exeter Chiefs, Tiggers, Glaws and Leinstuuuuurrrrrrrrr me thinks.

Cannot wait.

Just one quick question, is the view that Munster have no creativity just a cliché? If you look at the last 3/4 games, Munster have scored some magnificent tries with great interplay between backs and forwards. Jones' try yesterday was the pick of the bunch.

I have a Irish friend called Aine and I pronounced it as I read it, took her a few weeks to tell me it was pronounced Onia but we got there in the end

Decent weekend of sport all round.

Carling Cup on Sunday. Liverpool vs Cardiff. Apparently Stevie Gerrard's cousin plays for Cardiff. Article below.

Hedoes Willy, Irish qualified too. Don't know if he is any good though.

He's not. He's a defender who is a plodder but thinks he's Stevie instead on concentrating on his bit.

C to g
B to f (pronounced v)
D to dd (pro. Th as in the)
P to b
T to th (as in thistle)
G to -

International career

Gerrard qualifies for the Republic of Ireland through his grandparents. He had represented the Republic of Ireland's under-18 team earlier in his career. On 4 March 2011, Gerrard pledged his allegiance to the Republic of Ireland and said "I pledged my allegiance to the Republic and I would love the chance to play for the senior squad."[19]

In April 2011, Gerrard received full clearance to play for the Republic of Ireland.

These chaps were Welsh:

Aaarrrggghhh. That will be the pub out of bounds tomorrow. The last time Liverpool played at Wembley (15-16 years ago) they trashed the place

The pub is in Stanmore. Fans from oop north park their mini-buses there, get bladdered, then get the Jubilee line to Wembley.

I got the Metro line last year, the Tube is a really handy service.

The Tube is brilliant. Charge up your Oyster card and away you go. London's your, er, scallop.

So in Wales:

when you eat an ice cream cone, then it is ice cream gone?













Hey where did my ice cream go?

We're allowed to have ice cream in Wales, Biltong, but only with a lump of coal instead of a Flake.

Sorry,

Was off on the ballet run.

Does G to - mean the G disappears or that you can't remember what replaces it?

Cymro,

Aine is one of the easy ones. You should see some Irish names. I seem to remember one of the Dublin lads even had to ask how to pronounce one of them a while back.

There's a girl in the same class as one of my kids' who has an Irish name but pronounces it as if it was English. It's really hard to remember that we have to say it "wrong" when she's around!

Insert goal?

MrsP wrote:Does G to - mean the G disappears or that you can't remember what replaces it?

No Mrs P, - is a letter in the Welsh alphabet, but you don't say it, you have to click your fingers.

I wish that was true.

It would be interesting.

You could get people to be quiet by just handing them a big box to hold!

Excited about the rugby, Mrs P? I've dropped Andrew Trimble from my Guinness fantasy Six Nations side, so I bet he scores a hat-trick now!

Wow, i had a little doze on the couch....

Back out pickinh up from Ballet again!

Indeed Lucky!

Who did you replace Trimble with?

Billy!

Do you the world of good that!

I must have needed it MrsP.

Will do me good not to be so tired, will help with the alcohol consumption during the games

I went for Stuart Hogg, Mrs P - it turns out the back three don't have to be two wingers and a full back. I was trying to get enough money together to bring in Morgan Parra, but to no avail.

Well thats a good omen for Trimby then!

I'd love to see him have a good game today, he's worked exceptionally hard to get back in the Ireland team and he's been in and out. Sometimes in sport it's nice to see hard work rewarded. It may not matter if you don't cut the mustard, but it'd be hard to begrudge him a bit of luck along the way!

Our sheep look like Colliers.

I had Trimble pinned down as my top try scorer Notch. I have no idea why but i just thought that he would get a few.

Must be the hard hats, pick axes and hacking coughs Glas.

Those Welsh sheep are well hard!

Outside our centres? Not going to be a top try scorer without a Welsh or French accent

Right, I'm signing out. See you back here in a few hours' time...

Yeah, but i was kind of hoping that he would set the tournement alight.... Ireland on have 1 centre... we are screwed then

grand, billy, will do that, bud

luckless_pedestrian wrote:Morning Asbo, and good luck to the - although you realise I'll be saying good luck to Bath if PJ pops in!

Absolutely understood, lucky, no worries

Game face on lads and ladettes!

We've only played one (half) game Billy. He might still bring home the bacon.

Michael D Higgins looks like a dwarf compared to the big Italian players

Way to be poitically correct Rava.
