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".

A) 16:04, gets into Swansea Rail Station at 17:01
B) 16:48 gets in at 17:43

If I get the 16:48, I'll head straight up to get a ticket, if I manage to get the 16:04 may head down into town for a sherbet

GLAS - what time you getting there and will you be imbibing ?

DREAMER - great stuff. You'll never have that "Road not taken" feeling

I'll be with my parents and nephew, so it will be Dandelion and Burdock at Rossi's. Knowing us, cutting it fine will be an understatement.

dreamer, congratulations, a bold move, but from everything you have said, absolutely the right one

G'day all, hope that everyone is well

Dreamer, it's a taxi ride anyway. Perhaps they run buses near by? There's a park and ride right by the stadium, so maybe you could get on one of those buses?

You can have the rest of my Asbo, I'm off in a bit!

Does it taste of prawns?

As - diolch, I certainly hope it turns out the right move anyways

Rev - the park and ride thing is ringing a bell, will have a look at the O's website later and see what that says

Afternoon all. Well done dreamer and good luck with whatever you decide to do.


I'm on my way down to Exeter again for another blydi meeting. Same old shoite trotted out every month. It will be late getting back tomorrow as well as the meeting ends about 4ish.

DREAMER - bus from High Street (1 min walk from train station)

18-05, 18:08, 18:10 ...etc

8 to 10 mins on the bus and then a 5 minute walk at the other end (Either Neath Road or Landore P&R)

GLAS - you cut it so fine, you'd be 20 on the Stimpmeter

Hound - cheers! Hope the meeting tomorrow isn't too bad for you

Penfro - diolch, reckon I should be able to find my way then, will decide closer to Fri if I'm going to go or not me thinks. Am heading down to Llanelli on the Sat, so not sure if I can justify spending arian on two matches in one weekend!

Afternoon you lot. I hope you're all fantastic and had cracking weekends.

I had one of my better weekends in a while. Got to spend a lovely trip down to Wiltshire with a a couple I'm very fond of. Then it was just a cracking night full of fun and extravagance and most importantly friends.

Fabrice Muamba has been discharged from hospital

Good News Story!!

Great to hear that you had such a lovely weekend Munsty.

Fabrice Muamba!

The most amazing medical story I have ever come across. What was going on on that pitch was what I spent a significant proportion of my working life doing and I remain astounded every time I think of it.

Everyone should learn how to do proper, efficient CPR.

It's great that we have defibs in the community but what kept Muamba alive was fantastically good CPR.

Just astounishingly amazing!

I know the basics of First Aid and CPR (had to learn it due to my sister's condition) so if you're ever in Ravenhill MrsP and Paddy Wallace collapses will you run onto the pitch to help? I thought the doctor showed both great response time and amazing composure to help out like he did/

It is phenomenal. Back in 2004 one of my cricket team-mates (he was 37 and his 7 year old son was watching us play) had a heart attack on the sidelines (his last words were "Pete, help" ). Our wicket-keeper and the opposition captain were both first-aid trained civil defence volunteers and they managed to keep Jonno alive for just under 10 minutes with CPR, unfortunately the ambulance with defibs took 15 to arrive. At the time one of my flatmates was (and still is) an ambulance driver, he commented that the rule of thumb for them was they had a chance with defibs if they could get there inside 5 minutes.

Thomond, the docs who cover Ravenhill are excellent but I wouldn't hesitate even if it was Dylan Hartley!

Kiwi,

I really depends on the cause of the problem. In the case of Muamba the problem was almost certainly a primary rhythm disorder in an otherwise extremely healthy heart. Your friend, and the vast majority of collapses you will come across, were probably a rhythm disturbance that was a consequence of a heart that was starved of blood.

Good CPR will not save everyone but it will give some a chance.

If Cari is at Ravenhill and Tommy goes down she will probably pelt over anyway, got one of my things published by an offical fan site today. Pretty happy with that. Gotta go

Anybody else think that Ulster should put out their strongest team possible against Leinster?

Reasons:
1 a win would be psychologically huge if they are to face them in the ERC final
2 Edinburgh got smashed, if Ulster seconds do as well Leinster will be unstoppable in Twickenham
3 Playing is the best preparation for a big match
4 players get injured in training anyhow
5 need to get momentum going
6 nobody expects it - ballsy move.

I said it in here yesterday and I can assure you I’m not fishing for complements for my team but I can’t see us beating Clermont next week.
I might even nip out and put a fiver on Ulster for the cup, they’d have a much better chance against Clermont in Twix than we do in Bordeaux…

That's 3 or 4 Leinster posting stalwarts, who are writing us down. I'm going to need a strong word with ye lot before the game. I hope its not that old Munster pretend, self-defeating diatribe- coming out here. "Aah sure we are only givin it a lash and we'll see how we do on the day " attitude. Bollox to that. We have come too far and we are stronger in depth and quality now, than we have ever been in our history.

This kind of attitude is NOT acceptable. Not at my province. We will beat ASM and we will beat them well. We are the best team in Europe by far. If we go up a gear - we will beat them. If we up it to top gear - they have little hope. They must be sheeting themselves. The only side in Europe who can beat a full Leinster side, at full throttle... are Leinster themselves.

ASM are going down and so will whoever we meet in the Final. I mean that. Its time to stop being nice here. Time to be open and honest. Time to firmly nail your colours to the provincial mast.

BELIEVE.

Good aft regs. Had a nice long bike ride. Feeel goooood.

PenfroPete wrote:WELSH REGS - Who is going down to the Library on Friday ?

So far I've got GLAS and REV as going down. I'm seriously thinking of going along too

Would love to say ta ta to Shane (it's officially his last game for the O's) but I just don't finish work in time to make the train to Swansea. Looking forward to a home semi final instead (I hope).

Good luck for the future Dreamer.

What do you expect?! Of course I'd do that. As soon as he felt my tongue down his gob he'll soon come round!! Doubt he'd do the same for me mind...

Too right. Believe in your team. You ain't going to jinx it if you say you believe your team will won.

I love you Munsty.

Sorry, that should be will win*

Cheers Gibbo. Was rooting around my computer today actually and found an old video from Amsterdam.

Gibson wrote:I love you Munsty.

Somebody has to

Gibbo!

You cocky, conceited, jumped up,big headed, self deluded fool!

How can you possibly think Leinster could win either the semi or the final?

Have you seen them play recently?

Okay, I'll agree on your prediction for the semi but I can't see you beating my Ulster!

Evening all.

Ah who am I trying to kid. I love you Munsty xxxxxxxx

Hi Ozzy.

Tara for a bit.

Oh dear.

It is just great to hear you so happy my friend. Everything else, is just smaltz. Or a bonus. Stay happy and surround yourself with the people who make it so.

Just impress yourself first. No one else. The rest will follow. Took me years to learn that one.

MrsP. We will HAMMER Ulster(if they make it) - at Twickers. But I'll be nice before & afterwards roysh?

Just bring the crisps.

Ebullient? Moi? Feicin right I am.

Of course this could all lead to HC tears for the aul man... but I have to put it on the line. Or the resultant gain, won't outway the previous pain. If that makes any sense atall atall.

I have to believe before the event and not after it. I think it's called being a fan.

The best thing about your trip to Twickenham is that you won't even need to buy a new jersey to support the winning team!

Sure your "Gibson" RFC shirt is almost the same as the Ulster one!

That's true and if and when it happens... I will wear it. And proudly too.

I will always remember how supportive my Ulster friends were to us on the way. I'll never forget it.

One journey. Disparate Tribes as One. Is that not what it's all about in the end?

That goes for our English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh regs. Whoever makes it, in whatever comp. We are there for them

As for De French Chef? He is as cocky as me. So feic em!

It is indeed Gibbo!

Ozzy,

Did LI announce their new OH yet?

Are you going to scoop them? Ah sure gwan! Sure we won't tell anyone!

As i trawled the aisles of Tesco in Stirling this morning, I spotted a young man wearing an Ulster jersey. I briefly considered breaking into a chorus of SUFTUM but .... I'm awfully shy.

Evening all, just a brief interruption to ask for your help! Us Laahhhnnnndddun regs would like to try to organise something for Saturday lunchtime for everyone to meet, drink, eat, etc. it won't be on the same lavish scale as provided by El Penfron, but we will do our best. Can I ask you to amend/add to the list of these that are definitely/maybe heading over?

I like that As

Add a few Ulster fans if they win their semi. They're a bit scared to book at the moment.

Sounds a treat though. Only a month to go.

Howya Gibbo

I'm in my favourite Exeter pub and I can tell you that they are mighty proud of their Chiefs around here. Rightly so. What a journey they have had. Should have beaten SF in Paris too.

'Cause if you are, you can add The Auld Wee Wumman frae Perthshire

Just brilliant.As, you were the Hostess with the Mostess on the Tour Of Four. An impossible and massive undertaking, all done with SAS(see Kiwi) percision. And all done drunk. Ver ver drunk.

That Tour has been and will be - talked about until Glas's sheeps come home.

tis a no from me Asbo. I will be starting my farewell lets get utterly drunk leaving week of the Diff starting that weekend. 4 years in this place, it deserves a very good send off

Imagine the skirt-wearin, balls-showin Jock, if they had made the Stoop that weekend Hound? We'd have had to rake im off the roof man. Excellent season by Chiefs. Team Of The Season for me.

Excellent Asbo!

I would add Notch, Notches da, Mr & Mrs P and all the little P's, Rodders and Willser. That's just for starters.
Glas also indicated his intentions and pencil in Linebreaker.

Just bring oxygen Rav. Chef has us in the Gods at Twickers. And lots of Black Bush. For de craic like.

I want to wear my Welsh kilt to HQ, but the train journey on my lonesome wearing that is scary

Arsenal 2-0 down after ten mins. Ouch

That's good Gibbo.

I seem to remember certain fans being in serious need of this at a previous HEC Final and that was when his team were winning!

How you he will cope with losing is anyone's guess!

About the same as he'll cope with his team not making it

After dissing our brew recently and now indicating her intended presence, should The Auld Wee Wumman frae Perthshire not be encouraged to provide a dram or two of the peaty tasting Laphroaig she so eloquently described.

My last 2 games: started hooker, started tighthead,
My match tomorrow: starting loosehead.

Now that's versitilaty!!

As, did you get anywhere with my email suggestion?

Also, my mate Andy is going to be there and our spare ticket is earmarked for linebreaker if he makes it over - kiwi if lb can't make it.
