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".

I'm about to alert the Mods about quite a few of those so I'd keep the on Ice there Billy.......

Christ dont do that rodders, i may get kicked off

Only messing Billy, have a on me pal!

Even though at least 20% of those are requests for illicit streaming sites I don't think that should take away from a fine achievement

Don't you just hate people in power making idle threats?

And also using emoticons that aren't available to others! Where did you get the

And morning all, hope everyone's well?

Had a brilliant weekend in London. We all decided to be cultured and go and see an art exhibition, not quite sure I'm the right sort of person to go to those! But I mean seriously, how is a glass bowl, filled at the bottom with toe nail clippings art?! Ych.

Still, enjoyed it and then had a brilliant night out with the girls. My feet did not love me by the end of the night though! heels = evil.

Has Glas' friend hacked your account or what?

Now, now, he didn't really think you were a lesbian, he just wanted you to prove him wrong.

Not that I know of, would love it if there was though!! Just read about this on the beeb: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17727031 fair play to Udinese for this.

Ha, aye! I still think that's just so silly though.


Also, why do people always refer to scrums as "scrum time". We don't rever to anything else as "maul time" or "lineout time".

It's a bit strange, and it bothers me.

Maybe something you could look at setting up, albeit on a smaller scale???

It was as close as he gets to a compliment.

I hate "scrum time" as well. 'The scrum' is perfectly sufficient. Approbation is the only way to sort it out...

Maybe 'scrum time' doesn't refer to the scrums themselves but to the amount of time wasted resetting them.

no lucky, sometimes they are talking about the time taken, but usually it's just things like

"why are so many penalties called at scrum time"

"the problem at scrum time is that the props can't get a bind"

etc etc.

just say "the scrum"!

There are loads of idiosyncratic terms in rugby, I say the more the merrier.

I love the term “socks down winger” myself…

I'd love to but I've got another 'small' business plan I'm looking to roll out this year first! Maybe next year I'll look into it!

I was making a suggestion, Dreamer.

ah okay, sorry Lucky

Don't they say 'ruck' time occaisionally too?

Ruck, maul and scrum are all verbs, as well as nouns, whereas lineout is a noun only. Therefore you can't have lineout time.

That would be "wasted time at scrum time" though.

Agree

Sure everyone knows a good backrow is made up of a tweener and a jackler instead of having a six point five stuck in there. They are good around the paddock but are unskilled in the dark arts.

Let's not get started on the whole,

"1st 5/8ths"

thing again!

Afternoon pub

Three day week for me!!

Better go and do some work then <ahem>

It works for us .

And it was good to see Dan Carter having a good game at 2nd 5/8 on Saturday too

I just tip-tackled an intruder in the Garbage Room. I was thinking of an ankle-tap but she wasn't running in a straight line and there wasn't enough room for it. (low ceilings)

You should have seen the mess she left in there!

No thanks mate. Just had dinner. But if you have any chocolate coated spiders for dessert.... I like the mint-flavoured ones.

So what is everyone having for lunch?

are you going to tell us what you caught or would we rather not know?

MrsP wrote:are you going to tell us what you caught or would we rather not know?

Leftover lamb casserole for me

LB, there are a couple of places in NZ where you can buy possum pies (I understand they're a protected species in Aus).

Are you eating, MrsP?

Ham sandwiches. Staple.

And some of yesterday's rice pudding

(Dreamer, Lucky uses 'scrum time', I almost did the other day but noticed just in time to edit)
