The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Millennium Stadium Rugby Pub

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Fri 16 Mar 2012, 2:25 pm

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 pub has teleported itself inside Millenium Stadium this week to see if the men in red can manage a Slam. There's also TVs showing the other 6N matches, the U20s and Womens' matches, Super XV, the "Classic" match and LV= Cup action.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Mervyn Davies and Jock Hobbs above the bar!

Ale

sorry for my little rant in the other pub btw, just had to get it out of my system.

Town is absolutely buzzing at the moment, there are French everywhere! Such a good atmosphere building already, tomorrow could just be such a special day.

Right. Anyone else having a punt on the Gold Cup? What are we all thinking?

That's almost a line from Pam Fi Duw? - did you ever watch that?

by Guest Fri 16 Mar 2012, 2:47 pm

Might pop in then. Have to see what the Dodgy Rogey guys want to do first. I do like the QV to be honest.

by Guest Fri 16 Mar 2012, 2:49 pm

Pam fi Duw? used to love that show!!

(although the less said about the writer the better)

In my Welsh class last year, my teacher was the actress who played main girl role in it, and we got visited by the lead role actor as well, who is now a script writer/director.

by Rava Fri 16 Mar 2012, 2:49 pm

Mark!

in memory of the two icons on the wall behind the bar.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 16 Mar 2012, 2:57 pm

It was a great show, wasn't it, Dreamer? We used to tape it off the telly, I've still got the videos somewhere but no video player!

it definitely made Welsh lessons more fun Lucky!

Mick - that looks ace, have a fab weekend

by Rava Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:03 pm

I'm very jealous Mick.

Have a pint of Oyster Stout from The Porterhouse on me. Just might have been the best pint of stout I have ever had. Strong stuff.

I love that stuff. I drink in the porterhouse from time to time and i always go for that one. I'm looking to try a few new ones this time round.

They're playing 'I Get Around' on the radio. I love that song because there's something sad about Brian Wilson's voice on the chorus - reminds me of Phillip Larkin's lines about 'the strength and pain of being young.'

If she looks like the lass down the bottom, have a Galway Hooker on me, bud Ale

by Mickado Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:20 pm

Ha. Do you come with the pint...?

A Galway hooker is a boat. And also Adrian Flavin.

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:21 pm

RIP Merve.

And a mention for Jock up above the bar too.

Afternoon all. On my way back from Exeter on a very crowded train, which is running about 15 mins late. When I get back I'll be heading for the pub many of us met at pre the Sarries v Leinster HC game.

Dreamer,

Just read about your fruitless search for a new phone.

If you know which one you want it might be worth checking prices on-line. We have got a couple of phones that way. They have always arrived really quickly too.

by Guest Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:29 pm

MrsP - Think I shall consider that now,but I really wanted it for tomorrow!

My phone is working ok, but every now and then it just goes on the blink, the space button doesn't work properly, it keeps getting changed into French (please let that not be an omen!) or whenever I try to type a letter it comes out as numbers! It's driving me a little bit potty when it stops working and I really want to text people. Ah well. phone networks will be so busy tomorrow, probs no point texting people anyways!

I know the feeling all too well.

Like the time i was trying to get tickets for Gibbo. The were seats 106 and 107 in row 6 of section 606 and the "6" button on my phone wouldn't work!!!!!!

Mind you, it had just had an rather unfortunate encounter with a toilet so....

Whistle

by Guest Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:35 pm

Can't say my phone has encountered that problem MrsP! just think the touch screen has almost died on it.

Yes. "Creme Eggs". Wales' answer to Adrian Mole.

It's actually a line off a kids comedy show Mawr, where the bloke who does Scrum 4 sends up Cath off Pobol Y Cwm.

He is also Twm Tishan that Miss G has named her lamb after and Eddie Bytler.

by MrsP Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:39 pm

It's certainly not something I would recommend.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:40 pm

Enjoy your journey, Hound!

I'm going to have to opt out of meeting at the Queen's Vaults tomorrow - I'll be watching the rugby at home with the pup. Smile

by **Biltong** Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:43 pm

good evening kids, I went to my jamming session this afternoon but decided to have an early one, have a splitting headache so please don't talk to loud thanks.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:43 pm

A jamming session, Biltong? Bit of an axe master, are you?

We are a couple of middle aged men who decided at the ripe old age of XX to start a band, we've been working hard on our songs because we want to host our own show for all our frineds and family at the end of the year.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:47 pm

Ha, well I won't be dressing her in a Wales jersey, don't worry about that!

Hope she doesn't have a leek on the floor...

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:48 pm

Go for it, Biltong. I always found it quite therapeutic playing in a band.

by Glas a du Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:49 pm

Malheureusement, un petit merde pour toi.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 16 Mar 2012, 3:52 pm

Right, I am off like a hacking cough!

O'clock ... Run

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 16 Mar 2012, 6:31 pm

Everyone off out elsewhere? Or keeping their powder dry for tomorrow?

I'm tucked up in a Wasps pub in Marylebone having a good guzzle ahead of the U20s decider. Good hoot, and we've just bought some Matt Hampson Trust raffle tickets as the pub is supporting the charity. A good bunch in the Thornbury Castle thumbsup

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 16 Mar 2012, 7:05 pm

And we've just drunk toasts to Jock Hobbs, Mervyn Davies and the retirement of Tom Rees.

by Rava Fri 16 Mar 2012, 7:15 pm

Evening Hound. Are you going to Adams Park tonight?

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 16 Mar 2012, 7:46 pm

No Rava - getting home is the problem. I would be rocking up in my local hight street when the bad guys are about. Watching it in the pub here.

England are a long way from full strength in this one. Should be close.

by Rava Fri 16 Mar 2012, 8:07 pm

Good Luck

. Oh and congrats in reaching a millennium of posts. Bubbly

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 16 Mar 2012, 8:43 pm

This game is quick. England pack setting things up, and poor tackling not helping Ireland.

15-6 atm.

by Glas a du Fri 16 Mar 2012, 8:45 pm

Wales u20's are awfull, again.

by Hound_of_Harrow Fri 16 Mar 2012, 8:53 pm

Unfortunately the ref is missing a lot in this one.

Let's hope he's taken through the tape of the game.

by Glas a du Fri 16 Mar 2012, 8:54 pm

The vision is being coached out of these boys. I don't care what the coach tells you, if there is no Frenchman in the ruck, drive up the guts!

by Rava Fri 16 Mar 2012, 9:07 pm

When the Ref is shouting hands off green and your teammate is slapping the back off you and you still don't realise it's you they are talking to there is only one word to describe you - Thick (Ireland Lock)
