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.

We took the kids to a few of the places we had told them about and it was great fun. We even totally shocked them by telling them that we walked across the top of the arches on the bridge at Kenmare. They couldn't believe i would do such a thing!

Sounds lovely, fair play.

No need to be TT, it was a holiday crush, nothing more. Though if tall, wiry, very dark haired and blue eyed fits then maybe have a moment!

It sounds a bit more like my uncle, but it my dad did have fairly dark hair, so who knows. Apparently I'm come from a good looking family though so maybe that's something to celebrate!

Ah Notchs' posts are grand. He wants the same as all of us and says it like it is. Lets mind, protect & treasure that honesty.

Home tomorrow. Its been real this weekend regs.

Night Pub. Slaap lekker.

I doubt anybody will want to put me up in all honesty. Hughie is only doing it out of sympathy

And yeah I want lots more meets. Lovely people, even that Red Stag.

Rev, lurve you too pal.

I'm up for most of the night, sister is going in for scans tomorrow, so trying to keep her up so she's going to have to be tired going in for the injection. I'm watching Toy Story though so I'm pretty happy!

Hope it goes well Thomond. Best of luck to you and your sister man.

I'm a bit surprised by how many lines I know in this film! I mean it was the film of my childhood but I'm still a bit shocked!

For the secdond time tonight Thomond . Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Evening all

Gutted that I can't make the Heineken final, and will be even more gutted if Ulster do make it.

Hope everyone has had a good Easter (sure the Ulster regs have).

Gutted that I can't make the Heineken final

Pete? What do you mean? Surely you can organise crime to make sure you are clear for this date?

Would really love to see you mate. I will be in London from Friday to Monday.

Morning pub

Morning Billy

Looks like we're first in so...



And if anyone needs hair of the dog

Morning swanny

I could use a nice bacon sarnie, if your making any

Bore da pawb / good morning all, I'll have one of those if that's okay!

I've had a great four-day weekend, I feel nicely rested and ready for the rigours of a four-day week. Some great rugby on the weekend too, as I'm sure you're all aware. Really pleased for Ulster and especially Edinburgh reaching the Heino semi finals, but the best game for me was Cross Keys versus the Cornish Pirates. Keys had three chances to score a try that would have put the game beyond the Pirates but took none of them, and it looked inevitable that the Pirates would steal the game at the end. But they didn't and Keys are through to the final of the British and Irish Cup! Not bad for a team that has someone from my school playing for them!

'Big Sur' by the Thrills on the radio. Lovely song.

Morning all! Just on my way back to the diff now. Love that I've got a 3 day week before I head up to London for the weekend for a friends birthday, happy times!

Hope everyone's well

Morning all, lovely morning here, pity we didn't get this weather yesterday.

In work now definitely need another

Though Dreamer has just reminded me that next week is a 3 day week for me so that has improved my mood

The rain yesterday was just what the garden needed. All the new growth is going to be greener than green now.

Glad to cheer you up swanny!

I love this time of year in the garden, spring really is here now

Definitely can't make the game on the Saturday mate, it's eldest daughters birthday party, but if you are over Friday to Monday we will definitely sort something out for having a few scoops.

Morning all

For all those who offered up Cardiff restaurant recommendations I got this from my boss this morning:

I made it out to Mint and Mustard—and quite enjoyed it. Very nice Indian food and one does not come across Keralan food often… it seems many of the Indian restaurants in London serve the same kind of food… then again, from what I hear, most of them have Bangladeshi chefs…It was a quite weekend—visited the castle, looked at the stadium, went out to the bay by water taxi… all pretty tame.

Thanks for the recommendations…
Brian

P.S. Walked through Chippey Alley… and said no to bad greasy food.

That's how they should advertise Cardiff: 'book your tame weekend break today!'

Reminds me of "The American" on that Fawlty Towers episode... "Apples, walnuts, celery!!!... jeezus what's it gonna take to get some service around here?"

Morning all, can we make a bank holiday week at some point please??!! Gutted as well that I can't make the big meet but Croatia calls for me....I am secretly hoping for an Ulster vs Leinster final just for the atmosphere.

What's taking you to Croatia, Prop?

It is well known to most in here that my maternal grandmother is from Enniskillen hence my affection for Ulster. I have also spent the past 20 years with the mis-held belief that my paternal grandmother was from Galway. I found out this weekend that she merely lived there briefly in her early twenties, but was in fact born and raised in Navan, which would make Ulster vs. Leinster battle of the grannies for me.

Much as I loved my Nanny Oz, my affection will always be more for Ulster, having been brought up knowing more about coming from there historically, and having to work out what on earth my Nanny T was talking about with some of the phrases she used to come out with.

Slightly random post there, but just came into my head and thought I would share it.

I only saw brief highlights of the Munster - Ulster match but Gilroy's try was a cracker.

One of us! One of us!

Morning pub.

While I would like to see Leinster (and Ulster) get to the final for our regs’ sake, something in me would love to see those ASM fans at the final.

I was speaking to a couple of Sarries fans yesterday and they said that the ASM fans absolutely rocked Vicarage Road on Sunday. The team didn’t do a bad job either.

My ideal final would be Clermont v Edinburgh and a guarantee of a new name on the Cup.

Rugby tour............with no rugby

Morning all.

Tickets booked for the semi. Then I had a wee look in my diary which hadn't seen the light of day while we were on holidays.

Ooooops!!!!

That day we had already got an athletics meet for the wee fella and the Ulster Dance Champs for P4!!!!



Now trying to work out how we can get us to those events and have a hope of making the train to Dublin!!!!

Anyone have a helicopter we could borrow?

I bet Asbo has a helicopter.

If he hasn't I bet he could get hold of one!

Ah ha!!!!

This could be why Asbo's phone wont speak to mine! He must have anticipated just such a situation arising!

You do strike me as the helicopter-borrowing type, Mrs P.

Why not drive to Dublin rather than train?

It will probably come to that Stag. The drive is easy, but the train is even easier and we wouldn't have to think of where to park in Dublin.

As you will appreciate, it would be good if we could avoid having to walk too far with the wee one.

luckless_pedestrian wrote:You do strike me as the helicopter-borrowing type, Mrs P.

I've only been in a helicopter once and that was an emergency at work. Did discover that it is very difficult to hear anything through your stethoscope in a helicopter!
