The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Edinburgh

by Guest Sun 22 Apr 2012, 2:49 pm

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 Edinburgh, as the team has made their first ever Heineken Cup Semi Final.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Martyn Williams, Shane Williams, Paddy Jackson, Paul O'Connell and Tim Visser.

Ale

Just a very brief note - have returned from wild and wolly south west Ireland. Wonderful timne, superb weather ... well until it turned really elemental last week.

As I am about to go to wild and woolly north Wales for eight days and will miss next weekend's HC semis my wish for the supporters is that their teams play as well as they can. If that happens then we can all safely say that the better team won each of the games. Undoubtedly some of you will be disappointed (as I was on Easter Sunday, especially when I returned to pick up my puppy and was told she had eaten a bird off of my cousin's bird feeding table!). However, if your team really do play as well as they can - you can, in true rugby fashion, say well done to the opposition and then decide who to support n the final.

I shall miss the final as well as I will be visiting daughter that weekend. So my absence is not just because Munster have no further interest in the HEC - simply a busy life.

Kiarose. I'm so in love with you. rose

But I have serious issues with you as a prospective Oma. I want to be an Opa! Phhokin now.

Enjoy the joy, mo chara. You know.

Morning gibbo.

by Gibson Tue 24 Apr 2012, 7:41 am

Mornin Biltong darlin.

Is it true that all Norn Iron Saffers have Evangelical shaag fests before a game?

It was on the rumour mill. Not sure

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Apr 2012, 7:45 am

Not sure about the Shaag, but it is quite common practice for Sa sportsmen to have a little session before matches, the SA cricket team with Jonty Rhodes and his era were famous for it.

by Gibson Tue 24 Apr 2012, 7:47 am

Ah grand bud. Just checkin. Cool

Hows de band goin mate?

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Apr 2012, 7:52 am

It is going well, we got rid of the two loafers, so it is back to two acoustics, we have coompleted our "homework" on our thirty songs and are in full swing practicing twice a week.

In a week's time I will be playing the guitar for a full year now and the next step is to get some training for for specific songs I want to learn how to pick.

Desperado, Mad World and Imagine are the ones I want to do complete solo's on and picking seems to be the way to go, it is quite difficult for a rookie though.

We went for some singing lessons which also helped quite a bit. so far we are on track to entertain our mates and families by year end. thumbsup

by Gibson Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:01 am

Excellent Biltong. Rock on man.
You inspire me. Want to play alto-sax.

Just for me. And phhook de begrudger neighbours.

Thank Christ they're deaf. Gorgeous people though. Love em.

Ton, from next door, has just passed by the window. He's out on his early-morn bike-roide.

He's 88 next week. Mega-bash coming up.
Fancies de orse off me missus. Have to keep on eye on him.

He's just gorgeous. Lost his missus of 60 years last year. So sad.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:08 am

Bore da pawb / good morning all, I'll have a cuppa

if I may.

One of the headlines on BBC Breakfast this morning was that David Cameron and George Osborne have been accused of being out of touch for the second day in a row. Well no, they haven't. They've been accused for the second day in a row of being out of touch. The length of time they've been out of touch is open to debate.

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:09 am

As long as your missus doesn't fancy him. Ok!

you into jazz gibbo?

I love the saxophone, don't have the guts to learn how to play it though.

by Gibson Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:12 am

How bout a Century Lucky? Bwitain is in the dork ages.

Dutch government crashed last nite,.

We are all phhokked.

Am I in to Jazz? Ohh.. I think so. My kids used hate me for it. Ive taken my lads to every jazz joint in the US and Europe.

Funny how they are getting into it now tho eh?

Basterds nicked me records too.

Proper order.

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:18 am

We would have had buttons Rava, my army pants didn't have sippers. Quite breezy to be honest. Whistle

by Glas a du Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:18 am

Out of touch with who? I don't know anybody who isn't out of touch with somebody. I prefer honesty - you don't vote for me and are never going to so I won't pretend to understand you. Fine. It's like Hoog and the Scarlets.

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:20 am

Altough I enjoy some Jazz I have never really gotten into it big time, strange though as I like anything with a bit a soul and a bit a slow rythm.

Are the Welsh really weird and unintelligible, or is it just moi?

by Mickado Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:35 am

Morning all.

I’ll have a double brandy for the nerves. My Dad always says once you get a Hennessy into ya, you can take on anything. That was my chat up line for years…

by Rava Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:36 am

Biltong, breeze is good mate. Cool the passion Wink

Oh and congratulations on becoming another 606 10 grand man.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:39 am

Wasn't there a dance troupe called Hoog and the Scarlets? They filled in for Pan's People on TOTP a couple of times.

by Gibson Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:39 am

Forget the nerves Mick. Prepare for Victory.

Leinster Expects.

Morning all mug

Pete, made the ANZAC cookies from your recipe last night - v tasty, particularly with the off-piste addition of sultanas and goji berries

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:43 am

My mum used to say the exact same thing, Gibbo. Except 'Lucky' was replaced by 'you little sh!t'.

by Mickado Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:46 am

Something to feel good about Gibbo,

The last time Leinster lost a game in Europe was in April 2010.

Although that game was also away in France we’ve come a LONG way since then.

We had no SOB, no Fitzgerald, no Isaac Boss, no Sexton, no Madigan, no McFadden, no Cronin, no Thorn, no Toner…

Here’s the team from that day…

Healy – Fogorty – Wright
Hines – Cullen
McLaughlin – Heaslip – Jennings
Reddan – Berne (remember him!)
Nacewa – Darcy – BOD – Horgan
Kearney

Jackman – CJ VDL – Ross – Mal O’Kelly – Stephen Keogh – POD – Eoin O’Malley – Dempsey

We’re a better team now. a FAR better team.

by Suspicious lurker Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:50 am

The sax is class, I think prop plays

Suckers.

I hear a sax and all I can think about is that dude from the Lost Boys.

Maybe when I’m a grown up I’ll like it.

by Guest Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:53 am

Bore da/morning all!

Had a lovely evening yesterday, twas great just to talk Welsh rugby with my brother, and more important just great to see him. Hadn't seen him since new years so a long time.

by eirebilly Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:54 am

May i be so dumb as to ask what ANZAC is?

A type of cookie! Wink

Alternatively, go to p7 of this thread about a third of the way down look out for a KRD recipe

Australia (&) New Zealand Army Corps (?) at a guess - the home folks sent them to their boys in Turkey and France during WWI, I think

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 24 Apr 2012, 8:58 am

The problem with the saxophone is that it's been used (or abused) on so many terrible, terrible records. They don't know what to do, so they throw in a feeble saxophone solo. But then, plenty of records have godawful guitar solos on them, but that doesn't make the guitar a bad instrument. In the right hands, the saxophone's great. Sonny Rollins, for one example.

Mick, don't want to burst your bubble but I'm sure we lost to ASM December 2010

No worries as,.send her on and we will discuss all that matters

by MrsP Tue 24 Apr 2012, 9:00 am

And tomorrow is ANZAC Day.

I think?

He's storting to believe again.

We will hand them their French orses. Our time is now. Huge game. No other team could even dream of beating them away (havent lost at home in 42 games). But they are not at home. Capiche?

We dont need to dream anymore. ASM and then Edinburgh. Phhokin breeze man. We are the best team in the World. Phhok Yurop.

Kills me not to be there to see it. But Koninginnedag and family beckons. It's like not Paddys Day, its far more fun. You and yer missus would love it.

Correct Hoog.

Still, we were missing O’Driscoll and Fitzgerald for that game, and Heaslip was gone after 20 mins.

(TRYING TO KEEP THE FAITH!!)

Thanks AsBo. I think i read about that once when reading about Gallipoli.
