The Dew Drop Inn ERC 2012 Commemorative Pub, Dublin

First topic message reminder :

Sláinte and 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 followed the victorious Leinster team home after last week's Heineken Cup final for a liver-busting celebration.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the picture of the late Simon "Human Windmill" Pitney or those of all the HEC and Amlin Cup finalists.

You can add S4C to satellite/Sky Boxes anyway.

I had the same experience at a wedding in NZ. Poisoned by gin... actually mixing too many drinks but I only can remember the taste of the gin afterwards. I fell into some rose bushes (my aunt's) whilst and got some nasty scratches.

Gin poisoning really is something else isn't it

We'd already been out and consumed copious quantities of Newcastle Brown Ale and then gone back to a friend's house. The only thing he had in was gin, which I didn't fancy drinking neat. The only mixer we could find was blackcurrant... I have never felt so ill! And I haven't drunk the stuff since!


Gin that is, not blackcurrant!! I forgave the blackcurrant.

It's ouzo for me. And retsina. Unforgettable time on a Greek island. I forgot what happened after that binge. But not the taste or losing a day of my life.

And tequila. Cant even smell the stuff now or I wretch. That happened in the Dam on Queens Day way back. Uugh.

Pints and whiskey for me. Maybe a drop of vodka. Nice wine. Champers... Armagnac. Never tire of that lot.

Sambucca. Its not my finest hour - there were WAY too many witnesses.

Like all good stories it involves money, women and drink.

You bought a drink for once and a woman fainted as a result?

Ah that's not a wee bit fair Rev. Im sure Stag bought us girls a drink once. No?

Ok. Carry on.

I haven't been able to face dark rum since my 21st. Shudder.

I went out with a girl for a year or two who felt the same way about bourbon. So coming back from the bar holding a rum & coke and a bourbon and coke generally involved a sniff of the glass and a grimace before handing the correct one over.

Stag, Glas & Lucky, any chance you could have a quick gander at the summer tours preview thread in the writers' section?

That was for his Dragons dig earlier

Anybody watching Froch v Bute tomorrow in the boxing? I can't wait. Also watching some of the League from the Etihad at some point, but probably more the games on Sunday. Who are ROI playing in the soccer?

Good evening All. Hello new gaff

Jebus it's hot here. I think it was 27 degrees this arvo. Got the free gig going on Cooper's Field at the moment. I must be getting old, it's very loud!

Hoi Cari darlin. Hows you pal?

We are getting ready for a mega-BBQ tomorrow. Garden is bedecked with candles and sheet. It looks beautiful. Big screen set up for the Jeff Final too. Then, O's v The Best Team On Earth, on Sunday, in the Wheatsheaf, wiv me Laaahndaan bruvs...

Life doesn't get much better than this.

Howya Gibbo Ideal evenings for BBQs, although it's blowing a gale here, so you'd have to watch where you put it. I'm sure it'll be a lovely evening for you guys though. London's pretty sheltered from the elements isn't it?

Good side put out by Leinster. I'd love it for the O's to conquer them, but even if they don't, I'll still be proud of them. Getting to the final and losing to the European champs is nothing to be ashamed of given the poo year the O's have had.

Ah the two best teams in the League meet in the Grand Final pal. Cant ask for more than that. Maybe a sunny day and the best team wins. Loike by 25 points.

Love you.

Evening all.

Hot, ain't it?

Why do you say the Os ahve had a poo year Cari?

Evenin MrsP. Absolutely steaming here

Curry with Poppadums (or however the feic you spell it) after a big scrummaging sesh. Flip class man. Also, I have been to warmer countreis but it's too feicing hot here!

Poppadoms are seriously brilliant after getting the pints in

Class after getting a cold can of Tanora and looking for a quick bit of munch.

One of these to wash down a cup of tea

Spoiler:

Note: In case you were wondering, those are not my fingernails. Mine are red......

Jaysus Thomond, that cracked me up

I would classify myself as "comedian/Beautfiul person" so you know...


Also,say what you want about American TV, but damn do their sports networks know how to make adverts!

Spoiler:

Well that cleared the pub, maye there's some in the beer garden...

Pulled my third youth club mum tonight. One more and I get a set of steal knives!

Steel, Willy. Steel.

Evening all. Hello new pub.
Today I had one of the best days of my life.
I picked up my two older sisters at 8.30 this morning. We did the new Titanic Experience exhibition in Belfast which was fantastic. Lunch on the street in central Belfast in the sun. Home and had a BBQ and a few glasses of vino and some great chat. Just left eldest to my dads and am having a little tipple before I go to bed.

Cheers sisters. Love you.

Rava - nice one bud.


Cari - the Os are moving on nicely imo. They have a better team spirit this season, from an outsiders viewpoint. You watch, my tip for the most improved HC team next season.

Gibbo - see ya tomorrow

The game will be on in the Sheaf - dedicated TV for rugby and no football to say otherwise.

Yehah, passer the AUDIR

Well done Glas. Knew the mints would do it.
So you didn't have to reach for those files in the bottom drawer showing profit & loss for "The Texel Shed & Associated Projects"?

31-17 to the Canes over the Rebels. Hurricanes really throwing it around.... points galore. Not even HT.

I'll put some and on, fresh bacon, jugs of tropical fruit juice, thick toast, and even if you want.
Another Big Day ahead again. The sun goes down here in an hour or so and I'm looking forward to the Reds-Brumbies game on later.

Bore da pawb / good morning all - I'll have a glass of that fruit juice if there's some going!

Picked from the plantation this morning, Lucky.

Splendid.

Steak, Willy and Gibson! Steak!

Sirloin medium rare and some Dijon mustard please waitress.

Morning all. My freebie tickets to the AP final just arrived, same postie who delivered the Olympic tickets yesterday

I had a nice long chat to Mum this morning, Dad had a hip replacement yesterday, 50 years of farm work isn't good for the joints.

Morning,


Another glorious morning here, shame though cause I'm working till 17:45 whole day ruined!!!


Out for a few pints tonight and off tomorrow so its all good

Awh that's nice Rava. I love my sister too. She's in France at the mo. I look forward to exploring Belfast myself sometime soon too....

Morning All. Another warm day in Carspliff. Still really windy though which doesn't make much difference outdoors, but creates a bit of free air conditioning inside though.

I'm nervously excited about tomorrow. I just hope it's a really top match to end the Rab with.

- yeah the team spirit dramatically altered when the coaching setup altered funnily enough...no point in wondering what we could've achieved earlier on this season though. I'm still chuffed they made it to the final again

I think I'm still drunk.

No word of a lie, I've just gotten up and have non recollection of how the hell I got home.

Awesome night from what I can remember. Despite my dad picking me up super early tomorrow, am quite tempted to go out tonight too.

Anyone want to pack up all my stuff for me??

Have had an excellent week too. Home in the sunshine, drinking Pimms up the garden after work and eating fresh strawberries from the polytunnel, can't spigging beat it. (unless it's Cardiff and involving shots of jager with every drink, blimey)

Is "spigging" a word?

Probably some welsh thing rodders...

it could be spiggin. a character in neighbours used to use it a lot. Failing that I've just made it up.,I like it anyways

Just found my contact lenses. On the blydi floor, bye bye your monthly use. bugger.

Allo, allo.

Everyone must be out by the pool.

Unlucky on having to work today hoog

Gotta say that Alice Cooper's show on Planet Rock last night was awesome.

Did they play 'I Wanna Be Elected', Hound? That's a cracking song (the original of course, not Mr Bean's version).

Afternoon all, finally had a lie-in this morning with the rugby on and now off to Usk with the gal before a nice 4mile run then eurovision!! Good times!

Best hangover cure ever. Vaccinating, bolusing, spraying and foot bathing sheep in a mini heat wave

You were missed in Llandeilo Dreamer, the Sal Bistro does cracking food. Had a lift home with the guy from the kebab shop, I think...

Aye tis a shame I couldn't stay for that Glas, was a bit gutted I couldn't to be honest, sounds like you had a good night!

I still haven't started packing, am actually thinking I will go to the park instead, tis just too nice to be staying inside.

Packing always takes longer than you think!

I've opted for sunbathing in the living room instead (god bless my sky lights window things, making the best use of them while I still can!)


Made a start on the kitchen and food stuff too so at least I've begun....

Alice is the DJ lucky. Although he did play 'Unfinished Sweet' from School's Out the other night.

Settling in at the 'Sheaf in Ealing for the AP final. This could be a classic.

I wish I was settling in anywhere for a beer now, on the way to guildford instead
