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.

It's official. Ye Welsh are totally weird roysh. Too much coal-dust and subjugation to the Motherland, has ruined yer perception of Life and all its magnificent wonders.

Or maybe its the new Gaffer shifting it all. Sheep-farming Magistrates are dodgy like that. They love local Power and all it entrails

Dont agree with him. Give him SHOITE!

So glad you all got back in one piece bud, I feel very humble and a little embarrassed, but I'm totally honoured.

PJ he shagged me rotten at the HC weekend. Real lack of love though

By the way I've got your Guinness shirt. You know the one you won for me in the 6 Nations

Emigrate IN a campervan man. Live the Life on the Road (for a bit) with the stunner from Wakefield. I would. Yer yet young. NO regrets.

Did he not sing to you then? Philanderin' barsteward told me you was purely platonic, I suppose that's Gibbo's expression for a no-strings quickie, no offence like.

Keep the shirt boss, I'm English - Guinness is shoite.

More lies. I was the babe in the old farts bedroom. But, I sacrificied myself on the altar of young love. I slept with Hoog.

Useless roide. No experience. Talks far too much. And not durty enuf for moi.

Happens.

I'll forgive that remark PJ. Mainly because I know you love our whiskEy

By God sir, twas you that said it first!

Not only do I like a Guinness, there is but one true grain-distilled beverage and so it was on the eighth day that God did create WhiskEy.

Cheers!

The first time... ever I saw your face... In Baff. I watched you trying to order an Irish whiskey.. you didn't know me by sight... nor I you.But, I looked as you persisted to ask, watched yer dropped fisog as you got a no at every turn... and abjectly refusing offers of some top seaweed lotion and then...

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

Love you man. Rugby gave me you.

May Allah Bless it.

It was reminiscent of Rav and me meeting souls. Ya know? I reckon a whiskEy threesome is on the cards. And some violent, educated, raw, unfettered sex after it.

A Grand night out.

Cheers PJ you were badly missed at our latest get together. Make sure you get yer harris over to Dublin next year.

Nite all

Gibbo, You are a slut

But I do love you

I'm too young to see some of the comments on this page..

You've clearly kissed something more recently than Rava you sweet talking fecker.

I can't remember the last time I went to a pub that didn't have at least one Irish on the shelf, you can almost guarantee that failing all else there'll be a dusty bottle of Tullamore Dew up the corner behind the Pernod.

Some things are written large in fate, and a 3-way whiskeyfest for us is one of them.

Sorry bud, shouldn't you be off practicing your guitar now?

QUESTION TIME FROM RUGBY SCHOOL, RUGBY
What you see is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies put you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns

And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants

THE ONE AND ONLY - THE JAM

All set for the big day tomorrow penfro?!?!

Just ignore it Rory.

Even in real pubs, there are always two old drunks guys with their arms around each other going 'I luv you man', 'no no way dude I luv you way more dude', 'no no no I luv you man'

We're a funny old race.

and right at the end there'll be some toss-pot "question" about the feicing dew-be-lee

Its ok Rory. We've earned the whipped stripes across our experienced backs. Ulster, Bath and Leinster sluts. As one.

I love rugby. Its so much more than a game. So much more. Its like Bhuddism. Not a religion... more of a way to be. More understanding and exploration than suppression.

End of lesson One.

For OUR V2 Rory Gallagher. Saw Taste in 1972 and watched & laffed at the Christian Bros freak put. They didnt'quite know what they had booked. Thought it was a country & western Showband. I dropped my 1st mandy that day. Sheer joy. Life altering moment.

Without doubt one of your finer performances maestro, but for sheer up in yer face balls-out rock'n'roll this is my favourite of yours...

Immaculate bridging by the way, unconventional, but immaculate.

Nite all.

Holy moly - what have you guys been drinking? Gibbo, I have 2 Rory Gallagher documentaries saved on my + box - one is recording of a gig for German (?) tv, another is kind of biography. Do you have all this stuff? Can burn it onto a disc if you want, pal.

Ah the Bullfrog Blues.. one of my favourite tunes ever. I am pretty handy with the old slide aren't I?

Penfron. Nothing really needs to be said. We said it already. Love you man.

P.S. Please remember to Honour and obey your Queen, you Welsh coal-mining serf you.

Hello my little snufflebox Leinster Perthshire darlin. Loved the balcony pics and meeting yer bro. He's a riot.

I have every ting Rory ever uttered. I am the source. Have live recorded cassette tapes, no one in the World has. Friends and I recorded them at gigs. Some are dead now. Precious tapes. Need to transfer them to digital.

Night yall.

Warm love regs.

Who let that kid in? I mean what's de current qualification here?

Standards are dropping. But, in all fairness, he attracts de burds and their Ma's. And their Oma's

Let him in.

He's cool. In a peculiar way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbiPDSxFgd8

Dissappointingly Gibbo the ma's have been all to frequent of late. At the youth club I help run the 16 year olds generally ignore me, which is fair enough best not to let me be tempted etc. But their mothers? Oh my word. They must be putting extra hormones in the water round my area.

In other news is Blue Chicago Grill a national franchise or just from our neck of the woods? Anyone know it? Just had my first meal their tonight. 12oz peppered chicken burger. I honestly can't even move now, and I'm a wuss cos I didn't finish my chips. Quality feed though.

Morning folks,

Nice morning in London this morning, ruined by the impending nine and a half blue shift mind. Ah well can't win them all


Booked flights to Belfast the other day for the 6th - 9th of July, headed to see a mate in Antrim town. Going to be a messy weekend

Morning Hoog, do you have to drive for the whole 9 and a half hours?!!

Morning all.
Willy is that Grill place at the Cinema complex? If so I've eaten there a few times. There's a good Chinese/Thai restaurant there as well.

This is my day pj

That's a lot of driving there Hoog, that must frazzle yer head for you.

For MrsP - this may be of interest - IRB TRIAL

Penfo that is a positive move. I hope the results will show it to be a successful means of protecting players.

Good morning people, just a note, do you realise if an outsider comes onto this pub and don't read back far enough he will think there is an awful lot of "MANLOVE" being thrown about here.

I am all for throwing a little kiss here and sharing a hug there, but wow, this is a man's sport.

Let's get some testosterone flowing here.

Why have I got a mental image of Steve Martin and John Candy after the "thoooose aren'T PILLOWS!" line?

Bore da pawb / good morning all, Friday has arrived!

I can't believe Dreamer doesn't like butterflies. I can just about understand her not liking catterpillars, although I quite like them, but butterflies? What's not to like about them?

Then again, if I'd been given acid-spiked shampoo when I was younger, I might be scared of them too.

Flip some craic in here last night.... thank flip the bar stopped serving at 12......

Glas, were you okay yesterday? You didn't come across as particularly 'sonar'.

Hello.
My brother eirebilly posts here a lot and i just wanted to let you know that the helicopter taking him and his colleagues to a rig ditched this morning. Alec is in hospital in critical condintion.

Holy shoite,

For serious, is he ok??
