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.

Willy mate, have I imagined this or do you rarely post on the boards anymore?

To be honest rodders I rarely posted a lot on these boards to begin with. Look at me. Stuck on 2300 posts. I've always been small time.

Never Willy! You're a big player round here sir! It's not quantity, it's quality man....

You posted a fair bit on the boards on 606 though? Sorry don't mean to put you on the spot, it's just that its occured to me that you rarely seem to leave the pub....

Good news tomorrow please. The place isn't the same without you Billy .

+1,000,000

Quality not quantity, that's what billy brings to this forum.

Whereas yourself Rodders (11,000 + and counting)...

Just kidding.

Quantity not quality I'm afraid in my case Willy...

Rory, Hound, Willy and most of all Bill

Night lads.

Bore da pawb / good morning all, hope we're all well - and that a certain one of us will be well again soon.

Cabledd! I never went to Cwm Rhymni!

Morning pub, is on the go and is in the pot, there's if Asbo drops in and plenty of and for Billy.

Morning Lucky! Where did you spring from?

Slept under a table again.

You did, or I did?

Yeah, good point - it's early.

So are you working this weekend, PJ?

Morning lads. Lucky, you've got Cwm Rhymni written all over you...

Alright PJ? I have to admit, this is the first morning I've deliberately come in this early, solidarity and honour...

And I can't sleep

Someone must have written in on me while I was asleep under the table!

Hang on! Where are your eyebrows, and what's that down your pants...

Morning folks,

Party in here this mornin already :stout:


Hopefully billy is a bit better today because id hate for him to miss Lizzys Party, I know he was so so excited about it



All Hail King Billy!!!!

Yes Lucky, only today and tomorrow though.

Morning Glas, it wont be long before Billy's back.

There's nowt worse than not being able to sleep though, it doesn't happen to me very often, but when it does, I get up, have a fag and read a book, an hour of that usually gets me sorted.

Morning Hoog.

My body clock is tuned to 6 am currently. Light mornings and lots of birds nesting and making a Blydi noise, but it's too warm to close the windows. Wouldnt swap it for city living mind.

That's not too bad then, PJ - plenty of time for a street party on the Monday and Tuesday!

They really speak some guff on Wales Today. A few days ago, they had a reporter saying, "so the excitement is building and the bunting is going up across the country. There have been over 300 applications for street parties..." - at this point I expected her to say "in Cardiff alone", but no, 300 applications in the whole of Wales. That's rubbish! We have at least 400 streets.

I live near two clay quarries and they often work through the night, when our bedroom windows are open we often wake to the sound of reversing diggers - beep beep beep beep.

That's not quite the same is it?

Lucky, I'm a closet Republican, whilst I'm not in the slightest bit interested in ANY of the "celebrations" I'm certainly looking forward to the extra day off. I'm going to clean out the hot tub on Monday and just chill out on Tuesday.

Exactly PJ, a day off work is a day off work!

Morning guys, any news on billy this morning yet?

I'm going to clean out the hot tub on Monday and just chill out on Tuesday.

We'll be there!

I know the reversing beep, don't worry. When I was a kid there were a few opencast mines in the area. You wouldnt hear it so noticably in the day, but on a warm night the pitch of the beep was just right...

That and the screech of blydi Tawny Owls, bar stewards.

No news this morning Biltong, as far as I know.

Oh, and morning Hughie, hope you've got your kayak ready for the Queen's big flotilla thing!

Make sure it's Tuesday then Glas, it takes about 16 hours to get back up to temperature.

It's foxes round here - they sound like screaming babies.

I'm off to work now, so in the absence of Billy - if nobody has any objections - I'll do the honours.

Have yourselves a day fellas, have yourselves a day.

Is it warmed by the sun's rays? Is it a hole in the ground in the quarry?

If you're indoors, how do you know it's not actually screaming babies?

*belch* Marnin...

Lucky, you never fail mate.

Glas, neither, but 1700 litres takes some warming up, water comes out the ground at around 8-10 degrees at this time of year, to get it to 40 degrees with a 3kW element takes a while.

See you on Tuesday for a dip.

I'm off.

Morning Breadvan, you know how to make an entrance!

Sure I'm working all weekend lucky, and Monday and tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday


Hampton court Guildford and a Shepperton for me today

I fully agree with PJ. I've a load of urban foxes round my way and I swear to god I've nearly rang the police a few times as I've honestly thought some young children were being murdered

Luckless Pedestrian wrote:Morning Breadvan, you know how to make an entrance!

well, I could've farted.....Working today and Mon-Weds too. Making sure you hardy welsh folks get to the MS safely on the trains. Love seeing all the union flags everywhere. PJ, to the tower with you!

Still read your username as breadfan and the metallica nicer of that tune always goes through my head whenever I see it

lol Just listened to that very song on my phone aout of interest. Helluva song! Caranage in the mosh pit I bet...

Ah off the rails buddy, some laugh though remember being about 13 first time I saw them live and was in the pit. Needless to say I came out with a few bumps and bruises. Well worth it though

It's not a moshpit unless you come away with some 'evidence'. I remember seeing Motorhead at Newport Centre years ago. Goodness gracious me.

Morning pub

Off out shortly to deliver a birthday cake for a friend's little boy. Spongebob Squarepants. It's turned out better than I'd hoped, I'm quite proud of myself. Just hope it tastes ok!

Got visitors this afternoon who are staying overnight so I won't be around much today. If some kind person could text me with any updates on Billy I'd be most grateful. Ta!

I'm still in shock with the news about Billy. I haven't been able to be online and I couldn't believe what I have been reading just now.

Get well soon, Billy. This place is not the same without you.

Feicing hell, I picked a bad day not to be on the boards! Left a message on the thread for the Billdozer. Great poster sound man, good taste in music, helps calm the storm in the Ireland threads. He is a Clareman which isn't great but he is probably the best of a bad lot. Get well soon Billy.

Same here Thomond.

I saw some posts mentioning catching up with me for a pint on the Ireland - All Black thread... but I didn't immediately reply. Then I was out all day yesterday & all evening so I wasn't online until around lunchtime today.

I've written a message on fb for his family, gf and friends. Devastated to hear what's happened. I wish him the best possible recovery. He's a great bloke and we always chat for ages about all sorts of things.

Billy's one of the good ones, no doubt about that.

Hurricanes outhalf has hit the crossbar and post with his first two penalties. They have both gone over though!

Had a "difficult" AGM last night, so reading back and seeing the updates on Billy has cheered me up. Get well soon fella

Thomond are you sure thats the right article, seems to be about something else?

bore da/good morning all

still in a bit of shock about Billy so expect me to be dishing out lots of today.

I'd almost forgotten that Wales are playing rugby today, but I hope that turns out to be a welcome distraction anyways.

Hope everyone has lovely weekends, and that it goes quick for the ones who have to work

Actaully, it's not you're correct. Missed the part where it said 2007. Apologies, will edit it now. It's about pilots who are appealing a decision against them.

RD, squirtle is the best pokemon. Everyone else is awful compared to him.
