The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Georgia

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 ventured to Georgia, because rugbydreamer wants the Scarlets to find a nice forward out there.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of birthday boy Hughie, Chris Budgen, Leo Cullen, Brian O'Driscoll, Paddy Wallace, Tomas O'Leary and a red faced Ronan O'Gara on the wall.

It is just in West Cork around an hour from the city, lovely picturesque spot. Had a barbeque on Saturday there like. Bless my Grandad for building his house there.

Your dead right, its tough being beautiful

I love you Munsty x

Yeah, you're right Hughie Brick.

Probably watch Catalans v Warrington for a bit. I assume it's Perpignan, but the weather is lush anyway. I need to get myself on an Amlin trip to Southern France again ASAP.

Funny as well as beautiful Hugbert. I salute you sir.

Thanks buddy, play your cards right the weekend of the hc and you might just get lucky

Haha. Great news.

Lovely score by Millard for the Catalans there. Real afterburners.

Big result for Catalans. Could be a real dark horse in the title hunt!

Cleared the place munsty

Ah I'm used to it. Always happens when I'm near a large group of women.

Munsty Rocks OK!!

Ok Rav

Evening gents.

How's everyone's Easter Monday been going?

Didn't get out of bed till after 12 mrsp, so its been pretty nice

End of holiday blues staved off. Did some farming and a Police Station call. Then had lunch in the PYS Beefeater and went to see my college mates new baby. You forget how small they are. Glas was the only one who could get her to sleep

I'm tried looking for an each way on them when I heard the stat that Leon Price in his career has only ever not got to one Grand Final (with all his clubs). They were very good today though.

Practice makes perfect. Alcohol helps also.

Oh also in work today it was relatively quiet for a bank holiday. But my word, the amount of people wearing Ulster rugby paraphernalia? One little QF win and suddenly everyone's a fan.

Willy, Ulster officially have a bandwagon! It is good and bad, makes it a lot tougher to get tickets now!

Jeez Willy you should have seen it 13 years ago mate

Wait till you see Dublin in a couple of weeks time.

No Thom. Regular fans wont have a problem getting tickets. Part time fans wont either as there will be enough to go around.

Stay at home Leinster fans might want to get on board though.

Yeah I've recently noticed a lot of people wearing Leinster gear around Dublin, people Id rather not see wearing it. Call me a rugby snob...

OK, Im a rugby snob.

It gives money to the club sooo.

When we can expect to see you sailing around Schull/Crosshaven Gibbo?

Hi all,

Quietness has returned to West Cork.

Congrats to Ulster, Leinster, Clermont and particularly Edinburgh (just because it was the most unexpected result).

BTW, MrsP and family were not in the "posh" part of West Cork. The posh part, where all the D4 hooligans go is further south, around Schull, Ballydehob and the sailing areas. Béara is fishing and (formerly) mining territory. Very beautiful, but fortunately not many grockles.

It is a slightly posh part but it's not that bad. I am from Cork like. It is a lovely spot no denying that.

I don't do posh, Thomond. When we were house hunting, couldn't afford a garage in Schull area, cos of all the holiday homes down there. I have been very surprised how few there seems to be here, given, as you say, it is a lovely spot.

A lot of spots in West Cork have tons of empty houses. Down by our family spot there are a good 10 or so empty houses which were built in the boom that are now empty.

They were very restrictive around here, Thom, for some reason. The chap that we bought from was trying to get planning permission to build on another half acre beside us, but was refused because it was obviously speculative. Neededd to have a firm justification for building - for a son or daughter who was going to live in the house. Although there are a few holidsay home developments on the other side of the peninsula (around Allihies and Eyeries), there are not very many compared to some other parts of the country.

A few years ago, the locals wanted to develop a leisure centre to attract more tourists, but one of the holiday home owners objected. He is quite famous and it caused an almighty ruckus here. I doubt anyone locally has been to see any of his films since then.

Jeremy Irons and Roy Disney have a spot not too far from Courtmacsherry (by that I mean a good 20/30km on kind of a cliff edge)

Schull was the worst we stayed in a friend's house down near there about 20 years ago and you could walk down the main street celebrity spotting, even then. I have heard that Irons is a good bloke, i.e. he gets on well with the locals and doesn't throw his celebrity weight around.

Night all - all this fresh air is getting to me and I am off for an early night.

By the way folks Ballymoney 2's play at Ravenhill tomorrow in the Final of the McCambley Cup. Good luck to the Toon Boy's.

SUFTBM

Well done Ballymoney2s!

Rava, sent you a wee PM re tickets.

Is now a good time to say I bought an Ulster shirt today? In my defence, it is my birthday.....

hope you've been having a lovely birthday Dave it's turned out to be a great Easter Weekend for you!

Dave if it's your birthday, why are you in here and not in a real pub hitting on girls (or boys) and being bought incessant numbers of free drinks?

Happy Birthday Dave
I agree with Willser though.

Mind you the Derg isn't really known for it's bright lights

Funny you should say that T. MrsG and I had our 1st durty weekend away in Crosshaven. Been back since. Love Cork.

Its Kinsale for me. De Lorro hasn't come in yet mind.

Hi folks, what a feicin amazing weekend. SUFTUM!

It was a pleasure to meet Stag (and his better half), Notch and Mrs P and her family.

Stag is gentleman and a credit to Limerick and to Munster rugby .

Because I don't want to turn out like you.

Happy Birthday Dave. Wear that jersey with pride.

Besides, I'll be lookin for one off Rav if we dont make it, roysh.

Guess what? I already have a ticket for Dublin sorted out

Whole family is going, sister and brother-in-law too. My mum was at the game, had a good auld chin wag with MrsP, she doesn't normally take an interest but the first away trip she comes on with us we win in Thomond so she'll damn well be coming to the next one!

Happy birthday David. It's good we have so many Ulster regs, I met up with rodders at the weekend. We had a real life shouting match about Willie Faloon. Very heated exchange, very enjoyable. Pretty much my dream date- just a shame he brought his girlfriend along

12 pubs, it has......12 pubs......

That's appalling you know. There are far worse people out there (and in here for that matter)

Evening all again!

It was great to see loads of Ulster fans. We got to meet Rodders too very briefly. Before the game we all went into the Thomond Museum which was great crack.

Just don't ask Stag who won the throw in contest!



Where abouts in Lansdowne are you sitting Notch, and anyone else who is going?

East Stand, Lower Section.

Notch ...... can't recall the Faloon exchange exactly..... but then I was shouting about lots of things.... and I had drank 3 pints at that stage...
