The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Mexico City Rugby Cantina

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 pub has teleported to Mexico City for the first qualifying match for RWC 2015. There's also TVs showing Aviva Premiership, Rabobank Pro 12 and Super XV action.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of the Grand Slam Winners or Dan Carter who returns to rugby this weekend.

I think it was in the Daily Telegraph ? Basically someone has worked out that 1976 was the best year to be a child .

I didn't agree , so i posted a thread in Off Topic were you can say what was your favourite year growing up

OK, I'll have a look.

I was born in 76. I can't remember it, but am reliably informed that at 3 months I was with my family on the storm beach at Amroth because the tide was right in. My mother was feeding me and a wasp came by causing her to panic, drop me and for me to roll down the pebbles into the sea chased by my 6 and 8 year old brothers.

So maybe not your favourite year then Glas

Have a look at the thread and put yours on there

Feck Kenny, i just read your 1976 article. Outstanding

If I could manage to wrangle a job here then I'd stay in Chester for the summer. Otherwise it's back to Ireland after I get back from Tanzania until August when hopefully I'll be helping out with a few summer camps here in Chester, in Somerset and one on the Isle of Wight.

Where to?

The Royal Bath and West Showground in or near Shepton Mallett I believe.

Ah right, that's about an hour from us (unless Kia's lad is i.c. directions!) and maybe 20 mins from Kia - we'll have to sort out a visit down

So an Englishman has a Englishman's emblem on his back. What's the big deal ?

Sorry but that is good

That reminds me of when Spike Milligan was given some lifetime achievement award and they showed him a special video tribute Prince Charles had recorded for him. Spike's response: "Little grovelling b@stard."

I think I'll take you up on that as I might have a week or so to kill between the Isle of Wight and that and I really can't afford to go all the way back to Chester.

Grand, text me the dates when you have them?

Shall do. Much appreciated otherwise I'll just have no way of doing this.

I dont know about the rest of you but the weather here is gorgeous and i could murder a pint.

Afternoon.

Back in Wales. Not had a shower for 36 hours and been stuck on a plane for thirty of those hours. Horrific. Still on the plus side, I can tick another continent off the list.

Time for a wash. Glad I am back for Dragons v Connacht on Friday. I've been so out of the loop with regards to the net it's well weird. Going to watch Chavhanga's tries from the weekend in a bit

Rev, don't wash. I love it when yer durty.

Welcome home big man. Dragons are doing you proud.

Good to see you back safe and sound Rev

My agreeing yesterday to cover tonight's late clinic now feels like a stupid thing to have done! It's glorious out there and I'm in here till 8 o'clock.

Poor you swanny, hope your shift goes well

Thanks Billy. It's not so bad really, I'm just having a dummy spitting moment! I have the radio on and can pop in here so there's compensations.

All is good in your world then

glad you're back safe Rev. Will hold off on the though till you've had a wash

If I never see an invoice again, I'll be so very happy. Then I remember we've got about 100 invoices due in tomorrow that have to be paid by Thurs morning. Oh joy....


Think I'll just be focusing on the sunshine from now on!

Welcome back Rev.

Dreamer there are a couple of places that I hope will be paying Invoices on Thursday <crossesfingers>

ha, I bet Rava!

Just forgotten how much I hate the end of the financial year is all. Still, only 3 more days of it to go

evening ladies and gentlemen, I trust you all had a good day.

Been working hard for a change and my battery is now flat.

same here biltong, same here.

Just been looking out my lounge window though, get to look right at the MS, it looks amazing when it's sunny, gonna miss it a lot when I move

Where are you moving to RD?

How's those luscious freckless of yours after the sunbathe on saturday?

Not got a clue where I'm moving to biltong, wherever it is I can find a new job. Will probs be back home in West Wales for a bit (once I work up the nerve to hand in my notice at my job in May. I still think that's a bit of a crazy thing to do given the current job climate, but change is needed).

And no sunbathing for me! I would soon look like a lobster or one of these

Because of spending so much time on here these past few months, just out of interest I decided to have a look at Ireland as a what if option if I ever decided to leave SA (Which I doubt very much, but for interest sake all the same) and I looked at the population sizes of the cities.

If I did decide to go for Ireland I would go for Limerick, not a huge population and becuase I live in Johannesburg now, I wouldn't want to move to another big city but rather enjoy the country side. Wiki does provide some interesting info on countries, so doing a little farming would be rather pleasant in the Irish countryside.

I have in the past looked at the North Island of New Zealand as well.

Both are equally beautiful places.

I still want to have a look at wales and Western australia. See if any of it is worth it.

Yeah I've looked at Ireland before too, round about this time last year before I decided to give Cardiff another shot

Welcome back Rev

Welcome back Rev quiet in here so I'll enjoy a peaceful before the rowdy ones come in soon.

Evening all, welcome back Rev. A very quick check in for me, work's mental this week so I'm not long home . And about to crawl into bed.

Cheers all, in better nick now.

Just getting set to watch Facejacker in 20 mins. Only just got into his programmes (the blokey who does it all).

Watched Chavhanga's tries for us. They weren't as good as I thought. Well his first one was pretty good, but I think the Argus built them up a bit. Still who'd have thought trying to work somebody that fast into space would work. Genius that Darren Edwards. It probably would have taken me longer than 6 months or whatever it is to realise

See thee later.

Personally I find this appalling. If this is allowed to happen, then the terrorists will have won.

I'm kinda glad I didn't apply for those tickets Willser.

Haha this story has also made the news this week.

' Sheikh Abdullah bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain this week admitted that he will not be able to guarantee the safety of teams or spectators at this season's Bahrain GP, but he doesn't see this as a problem, claiming "there are no guarantees in this world. You could be anywhere, even Silverstone". '

Morning all, in first again so i have put the coffee maker on and boiled the water for tea

Morning billy, morning all, I'll get cracking with the bacon sarnies then

Morning AsBo, some HP on mine please

Ja.

We have to charge VAT on them now Asbo, remember.
