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
ST DAVID, THE Prince of Wales and WALE'S CAPTAIN

Happy St David's day

Sounds tasty Glas, I'm quite partial to cured ham - but does the back bacon grill or is it best left cured?

It can be grilled if you soak it to get the excess salt out and leave it to dry overnight. Bit of a faff but it's worth it.

We used to kill and salt a pig at home. Then we had central heating put in. When we were kids my dad used to tell us the fat was white meat so we'd eat it (it was mainly white meat). We also had chickens and I can still remember the colour of the yokes.

Sounds like a perfect example of delayed gratification then! Us Black Country folk are big on pigs too Glas, my grandad used to say there's only two parts of a pig you can't eat. It's eyes and it's squeal...

He used to make brawn from a boiled pig's head and drain it off in one of me gran's old stockings.

Yokes was practically orange in the good old days.

Goodnight, nos da pub.

Fair play to the arsenal. All the damage was done in the first leg.

We have some talent in the squad, but Wenger needs to find the missing pieces of the jigsaw that will see us challenging for honours again.

Yes Pete, but he must also not try to exclusively BUY it. Must mix it up and give precedence to - the Arsenal Academy. Like Leinster roysh.

He has a big money-pot to use now. Arsenal are one of the few, or only, Prem sides in the black.

I think he is a stunning manager. From all aspects. So cultured. So intelligent. And it shows in the sides he develops. He needs a midfield-enforcer, a back line enforcer and a striker to compliment Van Persie, for sure. Needs to strengthen the Spine and let the rest play freely around them. I think your future is the brightest of all the top Prem teams. It wont be - if ye lose him.

He's never been one to spend big gibbo. Why will he change that now??

My son-in-laws company export the heads to Japan. They are rejected if the eyes are damaged. He sends the squeals in the same container free gratis.

Evening all, just wrote Rory about his namesake on another thread about my fav Rory Gallagher video. Might as well share it with you lot!

Hugs, I think he has over-relied on the young players he has developed. Really admirable. But. Maybe a bit too much. The game in Milan, proved that.

I think he will go for 2 or three top spelers and break the bank for VP. He has made money for Arsenal FC, when other managers were bleeding their clubs dry. See Fergie with de Yanks. And that criminal Abramovich at Chelsea upping the anti for all competitors. 5 managers in 5 years, says it all about the corporate sickness, that permeates the English Premiership. Wont even mention the madness that is Man City.

And by the way mine's a

Evening pub, quick before sleep. Hope everyone is well.

Slightly late Happy Birthday to Notch!

The personalised birthday card I ordered for my sister has arrived today and I'm really pleased with it What doesn't please me is that my baby sis turns 40 this weekend We are not amused!

Honeymonster, fill yer boots

Ah don't start with man city, they've spent like £450m since your man took over, sickening

Seriously though brawn is ace.

Right that's it, I'm making a door for the sty and buying a pair of weeners.

Today, you have probaby ignored the constant stream of videos clogging up your newsfeed on Facebook. Don't ignore this. It's class.

Compelling stuff there Willser.

Happy belated birthday Notcher!

Hughie – bring on Friday is right. really looking forward to a session now. Sunday will be a right off though.

woo 4th! 100 points off first though:( I blame the fact I forgot to make changes for the 2nd week so still had the idiot Bradley in my side.

My picking of 1/2p as captain right from the very start though proved to be inspired, he's gotten me a shed load of points!

And bore da all, hope everyone's well?

Almost the end of my working week. Got no work on Friday as am heading back West, first for the dentist (ych) and then coz my Grandad wants us to have a get together. Tis my grandparents and my parents' wedding anniverseries this weekend, so will be nice to have a get together for it. Think our Sunday lunch is going to clash with the Scarlets match though. Pain.

4th out of 11 Dreamer. I wouldn’t be keeping the champagne on ice if I were you…

ha well compared to last year, this is a massive improvement, and sure I'm Welsh, I'm well practiced at celebrating 4th place

You’ll have to give me some pointers, I’ve a feeling I’ll need to get used to it myself!

No way man. Leinster are my rock amid all turmoil of the 6 nations.

A pointer? blind optimism, Mick, blind optimism.

It's going to be messy mick, just as long as we resign ourselves to that now we will be sound. They way I sees it is, a half none flight Sunday morning requires me to still be tipsy enough to be able to smash a few pints early in the airport Sunday morning and wave bye bye to my hangover

At least you won't be legging it for the last bus Hughie. I presume there will be enough of ye heading to the Briggan that it'll be economical to hangaround for late pints then get a jo maxi.

Dreamer, confidence boardering on self delusion has never been a problem, i think i can tweak that to blind optimism

Morning all,

Happy birthday for yesterday Notch.

I was in a winning team at Highbury last night, top of the table clash, and in the 3rd quarter we managed to hold the other team to an UK Eurovision score - nil points . So we went from 1 down at half-time to 5 up at the 3/4. Roll on the semi-finals next week!

Afterwards I joined friends in a pub nearby for a quiz, and we managed 2nd place (of 12 teams). And we won a round of shots in one of the bonus rounds for drawing the best ad for a "celebrity-endorsed dildo". (we went with a Darth Vader Star Wards theme, having the good Christian lass in the team do the drawing worked a treat. Even though we had to show her a picture of Darth Vader first because she'd never seen Star Wars )

Right major crisis folks! Thinking of heading to France for a week.... but I need to travel on super saturday! ...... does anyone know of any bars near Paris Charles de gaulle airport that might show the 6N???

Thanks in advance!

Mick - you'll be absolutely fine then

I am actually feeling more nervous about the Scarlets match on Sunday then I am about the Wales match on Sat. Not sure that's right.

6-seaters are the way forward lads.

Hughie – do you want me to give you your QF tickets at the weekend? If not I can give them to MickyT to give them to you on the day. ‘tis up to yourself.

Bore da pawb / good morning all, just popping in for a quick eggnog and to say PM for Glas!

How's the pup, lucky?

She's a handful but she's a good girl, As. She loves going in the back garden so she's only had a few 'accidents' so far. God bless laminate flooring!

I'll get them from T, I won't have the cash this weekend to pay you for them

Well that would be no panic anyway mate. But either way i'll give them to MickyT and you can get them in April. You know i'm not going to the game yeah? So you'll have 4 seats in a row, if there's anyone else you know who wants one...
