The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Cross Keys

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 Cross Keys, as their team is in the British and Irish Cup Final.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Richie McCaw, George Smith, Robert Nash,Billy Holland, John Muller, Greg Laidlaw, Aurelien Rougerie, Leo Cullen, Rhys Thomas and Iestyn Thomas.

Isn't it in the old testament? He got hammered...left the taps on and flooded places or something? Sure there was an ark built!!

Arghhhh. My house is a mess, every floor needs to be cleaned, there are tottering heaps of business papers to be sorted, there is STUFF everywhere, my aunt arrives on Monday so i need to do something about it - AND I CAN'T BE ORSED!!! Making endless cups of tea and staring at it all. Why am I sitting here telling you about it instead of getting on with it? Motivational advice needed ASAP

I've got half a dozen ex-colleagues posting on FB about snipers in their office (3rd floor), after watching the video here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17869815 it is directly opposite my old work.

Rav, yep I'm planning to be at Bellemys to meet you anyway. Just let me know the time and i'll be there.

Will the P's and Rodders, Don, Geoff and Stand be there? Is Willy going to the game? Bloody hell, there's a lot of Ulster posters on here!

Couldn't open that FaceAche link in work

Mick- myself and the GF will be in Dubloons as early as possible, hopefully no later than 3 pm. We need to head to the hotel and get the lous in and then we'll prob head straight there.

The Rav man has my no.

Does anyone know where to get the flags?

Tic toc tic toc.......

I just heard about Amsterdam, Kiwi and thought of good old Gibbo.

Fed up of waiting for this Crosskeys game now. Watching the Rugby League version of Living With Lions (League of Their Own) to kill time. Bit Poopie that Sky are giving the Keys match all of 5 minutes build up though.

Puma - I usually blast on some music to get myself going, it seems to make it all go so much quicker. Queens Greatest Hits II is usually my album of choice.

Start with something easy first, say hoovering. Always find once you actually start, it's never actually so bad. Good luck with it anyways!

Also just had a thought: the more you get done now and a lot of tomorrow, the more time you have to settle yourself in and watch the rugby without having to be in a stress to get everything ready for Monday!

Dreamer's right there, Puma - my dad's school motto was: 'deuparth gwaith ei ddechrau' (two thirds of work is starting it). Once you're in the zone you'll fly through it. If Queen aren't your cup of tea, try 'Flight of the Bumblebee'.

Kiwi - ah Greatest Hits I is still my fave, twas my first ever music album, got it for Christmas when I was v young I just find I spend even more time singing along to that then actually cleaning (not that I get much done with Greatest Hits II on either!)

50 mins to (Well at least until Tuesday when I start at the new place !!)

Metallica's Master of Puppets always does the trick for me..... kind of appropriate too because if I'm doing housework its probably not of my own free will......

But, but, but ... Gardener's Question Time is on the radio just now! Have put the kettle on again.

Noooo Puma! Think how good you'll feel when you get it all done, and can concentrate on just the rugby on Sunday and look forward to your Aunt visiting on Monday. You can always catch up again with the radio show online!

Mick, where is Bellamys?

PUMA - in the words of my old team leader, JFDI

PUMA: Queen's 'I want to break free' (as featured on Greatest Hits II) has just started playing on Radio 2. It's a sign!

Rodders,

UR said there will be flags on some of the seats at the match. They mentioned the lower tier and the premier tier. I'm guessing that means there won't be any on the top tier.

You can also collect some from UR this afternoon.

MrP went down and they said they weren't there yet. He's gone back down.

Where are you sitting again?

Puma,

Big sympathy on the housework front. Too excited to care much myself just now. Just make sure you are able to enjoy both the games at the weekend.

Could you make yourself earn your cuppa by doing a bit of the boring stuff?

Thanks again for the DVD by the way. First half watched but we had to turn in early last night after all the shenaghnigans in the street the night before.

Puma, this aunt that's coming to visit: do you like her? If you don't, you have to ask yourself if it's worth tidying up for her.

Notch, where we all met up before the France game in August, if you remember.

Ghostbusters now Dreamer...............NOW it's friday!!!!

Notch wrote:Mick, where is Bellamys?

It's beside Roly's restaraunt in Ballsbridge. Literally next to the river on the opposite side from the RDS.

If you know where the bridge in ballsbridge is you can't miss it. Call me if you have an probs finding it.

Good question, not the upper tier and not the premier... how many are there?

Don't suppose anyone could pick up an extra couple if they're going anyways?

I'll take your word for it Dreamer.

Rodders,

Just spoke to MrP. He has acquired 2 extra "flegs".

Let me know where you will be sitting and we'll see if we can get them to you!

How are you getting down there by the way?

I'm trying to think of a way to get them to you.

Thanks Mrs P!

We driving down tomorrow.... will you see any of the Bellamys crew?

Ah bless 'em, just had my "Leaving Presentation" and they gave me a selection of bottle conditioned and an Ospreys shirt

Cue jokes "The didn't really like you then" ......etc. Yada. Yada Yada

They didn't really like you then Penfro!!

See us prop's are original Although if they didn't like you surely it would be a Dragons top

I've just been asked to run the whisky tasting room when the official work charity runs an event on May 31st. Now that's a good way to spend my last day in a job!
(my current contract runs to the end of May).

Rodders,

We will almost certainly not have time to meet up before hand. We will be very pleased if we manage to see the teams run out.

We will be in Antrim and Belfast in the morning if you can think of any options to collect them on your way through. What time do you hope to hit Belfast?

Mrs P we had planned to go via Omagh and Monaghan, I'd imagine the traffic will be a lot heavier between Dublin and Belfast?

If not then we can go that way and if so I'd be hoping to hit belfast before 11 am.

I can give you a PM later. Are the flags free or did Mr P have to pay?

And with a single bound our "Hero" was free ......

Rodders,

To you...£15 each.

Say £40 for the 2 of them and we'll call it quits!



UR said they had ordered 10,000 and there would be 6,000 on seats at the stadium.

You do know I was joking don't you! They are FREE!!!!!!

Cheque in the post Mrs P!

Did I have you worried? Even for a wee second?

Very Mrs p....gotta fly on will try and get on later...... Rava or stag have me contact details.

If you can think of anything with the flags or anyone you can send them down with then let me know......

Have a great weekend! SUFTUM!

Penfro – referring to your earlier post. Sorry bud, I had some important shoite to sort out for an hour or so.

I don’t think Wasps deserve to be in the HC based on what we’ve done this season (although I did like the comment about the shirt and kilt on that thread)

It wouldn’t be an issue for Wales or Ireland, but I think the English and French unions should decide on who their extra entry should be if they get one.


Off to the Thornbury Castle>>>>its the weekend and RUGBY TIME!!!

Anyone with link to Munster A v Crosskeys

Give it a miss if I was you butty

Could someone keep me posted with the Keys score if possible? Going out with the other half to see some ballet tonight (i'm planning quite a few to help me!!)

And miss the skills of Nash and Tovey. Fat chance

I know it doesn't get called hardly ever, but Munster A were miles in front of the kicker there.

3-3

It'll be 6-6 now after 14 mins. Munster A blew a try by their centre obstructing. If he hadn't have done that, they'd have scored anyway probably. Ref didn't see it though and gave the try initially, but the touch judge flagged and he changed it to a penalty for Keys.

Quinlan's pronounciation of Tovey is annoying.

6-9 to Keys now.

Munster A miss a penalty. Fair result really after Rob Nash was harshly judged to be jackalling off his feet.

Unbelievable scenes on pointless.

Try Munster A. 9 Duncan Williams. Rob Nash in the bin for a silly kick of the ball out of Williams' hands. Keys have their work cut out.

What happened Willy?
