The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Edinburgh

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.

I am not a pilot MrsP. Tried it once and nearly killed the instructer so i wasnt allowed to try again

No no no!!!

I need William to direct operations.

And convince the pilot that there is an oil rig with a problem in Belfast...that suddenly needs parts from Antrim...to be delivered back to Belfast and then the broken bit needs taken to Dublin.

And then back to Belfast approx 3-4 hours later!

Seeemples!

No idea


The Crusaders cunningly picked an official song without too many words to remember

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGgYQ9atrbk

Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum / Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum / Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum / Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum ...
And then it breaks into "pseudo latin"
In noreni per ipe, in noreni cora; tira mine per ito, ne domina...

with regards to the Cheifs one, my first thought is that it sounds a bit like the woman who is currently singing the songs on the twinnings adverts, not sure though, it probably isn't.

The best i can offer MrsP is a quick flight over the North Sea if you and yours are ever in Holland

That sounds like a fair substitute William!

We just better hope we don't hit traffic on Saturday. Sure there won't be anyone on the road to Dublin that day, will there?

Eh, when I say,

"...hit traffic..."

I didn't mean Asbo was driving!

It's "iko" an indie/rock acoustic band from Exeter. Kieran Scragg, Neil Reed, Rob Maxwell, John Barwood and Ben Woodhouse.

They may be secret Munster fans!

Stag,

It appears that Jason Tovey is involved with the Keys on Friday.

Afternoon all. Circuits this morning, rugby training at lunch and now the gym. I'm frigged though, so could easily sleep now. One more day in work though, then it's my Grandfather's 80th birthday meal.

Rev,

You're some muppet. Miss you though.

Its well worth it

But,

Just so as we are clear.

I don't have to do the whole "having someone try to drown me inside a pretend helicopter in a swimming pool" thing first, right?

If she does can I drive the pretend helicopter?? I'm always lurking MrsP!!

I knew there was a reason why I'm such a MBTGOG fan. If I was 1/8th of the nice guy that he is, I'd be some man

I'd pay good money!!!!

To me?

Rev,

I know you do the fixed wing things but are you any good with Helicopters?

Riiiiiiight, looks like I've just stumbled across some weird S&M Poopie, not for me (especially the paying bit) I'm out...

Me too.

I'm off to get run into the ground by a team of international netballers instead.

Was the interview today Kiwi?

I work with helicopters too sometimes. I know how to get you on and off safely. That's about it. But then who doesn't like keeping their head?

MrsP wrote:Was the interview today Kiwi?

Thursday.

I'm still polishing my presentation for it.

Couldn't remember which "T" day it was.

Rev, are you any good at the "Getting off the helicopter safely when some lunatic is trying to drown you and it in a swimming pool" thing?

Is that an euphemism?

Bliwdy hell, how on earth did you get that, MrsP? never had you down for the Exeter indie scene, you complete hipster - I love you just that little bit more now

:blush:

Sneaky

Evening All. Hope everyone's well.

Heard some happy news today - all but two of my former colleagues who took redundancy when I left have now got full time jobs. That made me

That's nice Cari.

Mrs P, I shall have to work something out with this tricky pool business

Please do Rev, just in case Ulster have just beaten Munster again before William takes us on the Helicopter trip!!!

Cari!

That is great news! Are they all happy in their new jobs?

That is good, Cariadwr, gives context to the old saying of 'when one door closes, another one opens'

Risca/As/MrsP - all true. As far as I know they're much happier in their new places, MrsP. The woman who contacted me today (we used to share an office) is much happier because her new job is much nearer her home, and she doesn't have to commute very far. I'm just chuffed they all got something, they're a good bunch.

Pretty good that they have all found any kind of a job at the moment. Not too easy in itself.

Must have been nice to catch up.

How long ago did you move? I've lost track!

John Terry is a t!t. An absolute brother plucking t!t. And I'm not even a chelsea fan.

Before the football started, I had a really horrible feeling that Chelsea would win, and as I really don't like them, I so didn't want it to happen.

As it stands though, I can't begrudge them it. Down to 10 due to Terry's idiocy and they score the 2 away goals, and put in an amazing defensive shift. Fair play to them

Got so many players suspended now though, the final probs won't be pretty!

Long day here, been I'm since three still have two and a half hours left, roll on Friday

hope the rest goes quick for you Hoog.

I am still in a bit of shock over the football!

Mrs P. would you have the guy in the middle fly you around Ireland in a Helicopter?

If he has a licience, can get us to the game on time and promises not to try to drown me in a swimming pool I would!



When was that?

6th June 2001.

We used to fly to the Mull three or four times a year.

I'll have to hear the back story to that one sometime.

I've only had the one trip in a chelliwopter and I was too busy to enjoy it!

Ed Miliband could be the next Prime Minister...

Nick Robinson

FFS!

He's a poor man's Tony Blair...

...impersonator...

...with a permanent cold.

Flocking jackpot!!!!!


Ah don't worry buddy ill rake your train, jump off in clapham there its sound!!!



BOOM see ya later

Does anyone else get the feeling we have just been privy to one half of a conversation that Hughie was having with someone else that he posted in here by accident?

Evening folks....its quiet on the boards today...must be the calm before the Heino storm.....

Gibbo's post rate is peaking, must be the ERC final stages.

Glas I'd say he is sound asleep tonight after his marathon yesterday and this morning.
