The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Beach Leileifiafiafale, Samoa

First topic message reminder :

Talofa*, afio mai** to the Leileifiafiafale*** - 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 Samoa because Biltongbek fancied cocktails on the beach.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of the recently retired Lloyd Burns and Peter Short; Richardt Strauss and Stephen Jones or the posters for "Stamp Out Racism" featuring Pat Lam and "Justice 4 John Afoa".

* Hello
** Welcome
***Good Feast House (hopefully)

Oh, right. Sorry

I didn't see your post though, just the bit in the new pub. Sure it wouldn't be a pub anyway if I didn't put my foot in my mouth

No worries!

I wholeheartedly agree with you on some of the nonsense that has been spouted about it.

And no Rodders, I'm not talking about you!

.......

Notch,

We are just home from the last meet at MPT before the refurb and the woman herself was there!

Great. Do you know if I have to go to work on Saturday?

You mean the hurdlers?

Some are away on warm weather training I think but Phil is around so I suspect they will be there. I could find out if you want?

No, I mean in general. I'm going to turn up anyway. I'm 90% sure the track is meant to be open.

Jeez Mrs P is organising the workforce at Mary Peters Track now as well as everything else. Is there no end to her talents

Organising is such a strong word for what goes on there...

I'm pretty sure it is still open indeed. It get handed over to the contractors on Monday so is still open on Sunday!

Women... That is all.

3m fall is pretty high.

WillyG,

Are you suggesting he was pushed off the ladder by a woman?

Heard a great story at the track tonight.

Must have been the mid to late 60s (? 1965?) and there was an athletics meet in (?) Antrim on the old cinder track.

Lynn Davies had come over to compete and Mike Bull was there too. They were both measuring their long jump run ups and Davies' run up was longer than the cinder track available. He had placed his marker in the grass past the end of runway when the "jobs worth" track attendant came over shouting that he couldn't put his marker there!

Mike Bull tried to avert the crisis by quietly saying,

"Do you know who that is? It's Lynn Davies!"

The track attendant wasn't impressed.

"I wouldn't care even if he was the Olympic Champion he's not allowed to put his marker there!"

Clearly not a follower of athletics

No. But since that's the first thing that comes to your mind, I should probably PM Mr P and warn him.

Yes, its amazing I've managed to do this job for nearly two years without ever learning anything about athletics.

Seems to go with the territory!

Just think how many more hurdles you will have to put out and away again when it reopens with 8 lanes!

WillyG,

I still don't see how it was a woman's fault that a man can't stay on a ladder?

Walks through the pub trying to kick awake the drunk and passed out. Must get coffee brewing, that will wake them up.

Morning pub

Morning billy, sitting in waterloo waiting for someone to turn up so I can do my assessment, then get a shuffle on to the CumValleyInn for a pint of Buttcombe

Morning Hughie, I hope that they turn up soon for you. Early pints on Black Friday is a good idea

No billy they didn't, got a phone call saying he's only out of bed and won't be here till nine




:hughieisnotahappycamper:

Bugger for you mate. Still there is the chance of early pints, he may not show

Na he will but I'm going to try guilt him into leaving it till Monday. I've a mate flying over today as well, he's purposely on an early flight because I was supposed to be finishing early, who now has to wander round the city for however long.

Then postpone it and go be with your mate. The other guy slept in so its his fault

It's all part of the assessment Hughie. They want to see if you remain calm. Remember the smoking incident.

Morning Billy. Another of your excellent bacon sarnies please. And a mug of coffee.

Morning gents. Stunning day in the capital today, hope it stays like this for the match later. Looking forward to a bit of Leinstertainment in the RDS…

Bacon sarnie and coffee for Rava

Feck, i think that i have a facebook problem. I just went searching for the like button on Rava's post

Na he's just being a bollox, I've to go to devon today that's why we were starting early, so we could have an early finish and I could get a move on to devon

Hope it works out for you Hughie

Cheers Billy.

Just learned a new term…

Astroturfing is an English-language term referring to political, advertising, or public relations campaigns that are formally planned by an organization, but designed to mask its origins to create the impression of being spontaneous, popular "grassroots" behavior. This includes companies or individuals who comment non-transparently on social sites.

Hound , happy burf'day buddy

Bore da pawb / good morning all. So glad it's Friday!

'Health Secretary Andrew Lansley told The Times the government did not work with tobacco companies as it wanted them to have "no business" in the UK.'

That's clearly bullocks. The government would lose a fortune.

Hope everyone's well today and happy Friday!

And Happy Birthday Hound (if it is indeed your actual birthday this time!)

Rav, tbh I'm not sure, but I know I'm close within a couple of three days either side. I figure he'll crumble eventually under the weight of my birthday wishes and fess up. Until then, we can all just scoff his

I'm up for that. Just maybe he is enjoying getting all these pints and cake that he won't tell us

Morning all, I'll nab one of those bacon sarnies too please! Happy birthday to Hound, if asbo's right, !! Starting at tighthead tomorrow so should be interesting!!

'Appy Burfday 'Ound mate

Morning all, bacon sarnie for me too, plus some and a slice of 's birthday

Hound, if you're in, are you heading over to Quins vs Wasps tomorrow? I may be able to offer a birthday pint if so.

Happy (+- 3 day) birthday hound

PH Hound.

Prop, let us know how you get on mate. Could maybe get you game at TH in a couple of weeks time

Sharks beat the Blues 29-23. Good picking Swanny and Biltong

Kiwi good previews as per

Happy Birthday Hound.

And morning to the rest of you.

Missed it by two days As

I don't make a fuss about it and just had a nice evening with some long standing pals locally. But thanks for the good wishes folks (again)


all round though.

Kiwi - I will never set foot in The Stoop for a Quins v Wasps game again. The Quins fans are the nearest thing you will get to a football type crowd in English rugby. Awful abuse they give us. The last two times we played there I've left at half time because of it.

I'll be at Ealing v Coventry tomorrow, and also trying to avoid hordes of Wembley bound scousers.

Happy Birthday Hound.

Very very sad to hear that about Quins fans.
