The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Dar es Salaam

First topic message reminder :

Hamjambo. Karibuni 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 Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to visit pub regular MBTGOG on his big trip there. Maisha marefu! Afya! Vifijo!

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Sir Fred "The Needle" Allen, Aberdeen Shikoyi, Isoa Damudamu, Chris "Mossy" Patterson, Nathan Hines and Simon Danielli. The poor defenseless IRB referee's jersey draped over the dartboard is fair game though

Maisha marefu! Afya! Vifijo! - Cheers

Impotant,pff,it's U32 L222 that gets you going.

Are we doing a pre match thing a la Penfro, after match a la Andy, or get along as we want(I fancy eating Greek)

PS, Gibbo, you owe me

Of you have a ticket for "London Terminals" route "Any Permitted" you can change at reading anyway rev, however I wouldn't overly recommend it, its a Tinkywinky of a journey and takes about an hour

Did you book to Twickenham or Paddington. I did Paddington for the underground, but found out you could change at Reading for HQ. Never mind. I am getting a train for 7 from Newport I think. Going to take some cans and get a bit tipsy on the way up

I'm getting the train into Paddington on the Friday evening. Tried looking at the Sat morning ones, but they were all a bit pricey, but that's my fault for leaving it so long to decide on going!

Your plan for cans sounds good to me

Right cheers Pal. Paddo it is then. Easier for me to smash more Tins before I have to worry about the tube.

Ah I didn't know you were going Friday, Dreamer.

dreamer,you're going to have to go back to fetch the Rev

yeah only booked it all today Rev

I know this is going to be a random question, but any of you guys got any advice on how to put on weight?

Easiest way is to drink 2 litres of whole milk every day. That is what I do.

Of course it is mate

Yes Asbo/Hoog/ have arranged a room in a pub in Richmond for pre-match drinks and eats. Another pub has been chosen for the Ulster celebrations after the game. As for eating later I don't know if any thought has been given to that but I'll go Greek with you pal

that much milk? really?! hmmmmm. I am not a fan of whole milk anyway though

Dreamer why do you want to gain weight?

The nurse I had to go and see today told me to Rava.

Surely she would recommend a suitable diet? No?

dreamer,spend a month with us and I can guarantee weight gain.

No, I'm not like loads underweight, just a bit, so she wants me to put the weight back on now. Not all that helpful when I don't know how I've lost it in the first place

She did ask me what I eat and seemed happy with it, so guess I just need bigger portions or something. I know I could deffo eat more for breakfast anyways so will start with that.


Mick - that is very tempting

Evening pub

Dreamer, I was told to do the same by my GP recently. I'll PM you with some links/suggestions but it'll probably be tomorrow.

Talk about it next weekend,darling?

Evening Swanny that would be great, diolch

How're you doing hun?

Mick - aye aye.

Plus the Swan, not going to make inroads into our dietary budget...C'mon ladies, we'll fatten you up.!!!

You're welcome Dreamer

I'm doing well thanks if somewhat cream crackered, burning the candle at both ends is not good I have now finished my first marked assignment for my proofreading course and sent it off so fingers crossed!!

Evening Chef How're you both doing?

I'm OK, Madame is still in a "non-roadworthy" state, but she's getting better,thank fully.

ooh I shall keep my fingers crossed for you too then Swanny! I'm sure you'll have done well on it

That's great news Chef, glad she's recovering well

Thanks Dreamer oh and you have a PM

Fantastic to see the apprentices bullsh!tting they know stuff about art

Well I love milk so I find it easy to take I suppose! But you just take a glass of it every time you eat, throughout the day, and it isn't so difficult. Semi skimmed milk would work too, just not as quick! You gain weight in no time if you can manage it.

Hoi good to hear from you.


If anyone wants directions to the HC meet please PM me (tomorrow) and I'll let you know. If you provide an email address I will send a map. Not sure what's happening for the Amlin on Friday though. Suspect I'll be watching it in Marylebone

Night all.

Thats a bit of a loaded question dreamer. The short answer is eat more calories... RDA for a female is about 1800 Calories I think. Do you have a high metabolism or do loads of exercise? If so you'll need more.

Eat plenty of carbohydrates - pasta, rice, potatos and some protein - chicken, fish, pulses, some red meat.

....if that fails follow Rorys advice and drink 20 pints of milk......

Good morning kids, trust you all played nice yesterday?

I had a troubling virus on my laptop and had to send the damn thing in, will probable cost me an arm and a leg, the guy was upfront about it.

"I am not the cheapest, but I do the job"

Morning everyone

Off work now until next Wednesday. Tidy.

Biltong - you might have to invest in some good virus protection when you get it back? Pricey, but worth it I suppose.

Morning all...

Today has been the warmest May day since 1941! Just missed the record set in 1919.

Bummer about the laptop BB. Can't you shop around more?

Well i had Kaspersky on the thing, but somehow it couldn't delete the virus, it only quaranteened it which didn't work, but now I have AVG on it, so hopefully it will work.

R 2 000 later I might add.

8pm Amlin Challenge Cup final - Biarritz Olympique vs RC Toulon - more drinks afterwards nearby the Stoop or in Richmond

Saturday lunchtime, 12.30pm onwards, congregate at the Triple Crown in Richmond - maps and directions here: The Triple Crown
3pm onwards head off to Twickenham for Heineken Cup final - Leinster vs Ulster (3pm earlier depature for those heading to fanzone, later departure for rest) - should be a bus from the Richmond Athletic Ground (home of London Scottish) directly opposite the TC, else train from Richmond to Twickenham

Give myself, Hoog or Dave a shout if there's anything there that doesn't make sense or you're not clear about


Oh, and morning all: &

How much is 2000 rand?

I just use my service provider's Security program which gets updated at least once a day. The odd thing might get through but I haven't had any major crisis yet.

There's talk about Stephen Larkham playing for the Brumbies again at the age of nearly 38 - to replace Christian Lealiifano who broke his ankle last weekend. Surely that would be a risk? He hasn't played for 5 years!

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/brumbies-coach-in-bold-plan-to-lure-larkham-out-of-retirement-20120509-1yd69.html

It is roughly 180 pounds.

That was just the labour.

Damien Welch released from the Scarlets and joins Exe

jaysus... there's a story on the news right now about some rugby player who's had an achilles tendon transplant from a deceased person. He's back on the field much sooner as opposed to months and months on the sidelines. Gruesome looking scar there... it hurts to look.

AsLongAsBut100ofUs wrote:Damien Welch released from the Scarlets and joins Exe

The Scarlets don't have a pack left anymore! Iestyn and Rhys retired, Lou Reed, Dom Day and Damien Welch all gone. We've just 1 out and out 2nd row left on the books in Timani (and perhaps Shings I guess). I don't like us playing McGog or Turnbull in the 2nd row. We need to announce some signings asap.

Leinster have announced a pre season friendly against Glaws in Tallaght Stadium. Brilliant!

I hope that's not why you're trying to put on a little weight , dreamer.

Myself and the GF might tag along to Saturdays itenary if thats ok?

It will depend how early we can get from Stansted on Saturday Morning but it sounds great.

Cheers
