The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Béal Feirste

First topic message reminder :

Hello 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 made it's way to Belfast - the rope-making and ship building capital of the world.

Now the Mouth of the Shoal awaits the safe arrival of one of it's long lost daughter's - Cariadwr - in her ongoing quest to be as close as possible to one of her favourite players... Tomás Ó Buaigh of Emyvale.... on her Birthday

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Nial O'Connor, Cari & Tommy Bowe, "Pickles" the wonder dog of '66, Wikus van de Merwe and Black Caviar above the bar.

Not bad mate, Same old. Working at the mo (Port Talbot )

There really should be a cocktail called a Port Talbot.

this year but she's playing Sharopova today and that's not helpful

I know nout about tennis but I know what I like. And I like Anna Ivanovic. To quote lieutenant Frank Dreben “she was giving me a look I could feel in my hip pocket…”

Kudos on that call mick, she is lovely

Lads I don't think you can compete for Ivanovic. I think she is going out with Djokovic.

Oh Yeh. She's lush...

Right gents, (and ladies if there are any about)

Who’s your biggest crush from another era? Was talking to herself about this at the weekend, I’d say Joanna Lumley in her heyday would give any of these modern youngwans a run for their money. She reckons Jeff Bridges, fair call I say.

Helen mirren mick

Great call. she’s still a very goodlooking woman.

Oi! Is there a more annoying sports TV host? She must say 'Andy Muarry' at least 10 times a day.

I don't mind Sue Barker, Breadvan. One of my sisters (I can't remember which) can't stand her, though.

I agree. She's awful.

I hate Question of Sport. It's the worst banter on tv, even worse than when politicians make a joke in parliment and all of their cronies wet themselves.

My dad had two crushes (that he's told me of): Jenny Agutter and Bo Derek. He's also told me that he hates Julie Andrews and Angela Rippon.

A big favourite of mine (Gibbo as well) is Jenny Agutter.

From a point of view it has to be Linda Lusardi. I sat across from her on a flight to Belfast from London many years ago at the time she regularly appeared on Page 3 of a certain red-top.

I knew there was someone I was forgetting, and lucky just reminded me, Julie Andrews was a stunner

Are you allowed more than two generation gaps?

I've heard plenty of euphemisms for female genitalia, but 'generation gap' is a new one on me.

Mine by a country mile was Jenny Agutter. Yum diddly umcious.

She was doing something or other in our local theatre where I used to drink (yes it was my local swallowing den then) and was leaving. As she squeezed passed me, face to face she made eye contact and said Hello. I said something between a gurgle and a belch in return as I turned to jelly and a near state of collapse. That lingering moment of eye contact will always remain in the bank

Joanna Lumley in The New Avengers.

Sophia Loren in.....well, ideally nothing at all.

Seriously...........the agency tell me my meter is somewhere it's not and then they say I need to contact other tenants which they are now doing after 3 calls. I contact British Gas who tell me that I receive gas too (it's an all electric flat!!!!).............is it really that hard to find a keymeter and ring a supplier to set it up.

Sorry, needed to come somewhere to rant, now need a

"Norfolk: the Wales of the East"

SMASHIE: Fab-Four-tastic, that was the uh, Beatles... er - I like The Beatles, don't you? - er, with: 'Eight Days A Week'.

NICEY: There's only seven days in the week, mate.

SMASHIE: Right... thanks mate.

NICEY: Don't mention it.

SMASHIE: But ah, I think you'll find that what The Beatles - I love The Beatles, don't you? - were saying...

NICEY: I don't care what The Beatles - I love The Beatles, don't you? - were saying, mate. There's only seven days in the week, never longer, never shorter. It's the law.

NICEY: Right. Starts on a Monday, goes through to a Sunday, with a Wednesday, Friday type stuff in the middle and the weekend at the end.

SMASHIE: I love the weekend, don't you?

NICEY: Me too mate!

SMASHIE: (nerdy machine gun laugh) Right. Well, one thing I do know is that, er, today is Tuesday, which is quite literally… Tuesday.

NICEY: I love Tuesdays, don't you mate?

SMASHIE: Certainly do mate, it's one of the best between Monday and Wednesday type days we've got.


NICEY: It's the only between Monday and Wednesday type day we've got, mate. It may not have the glamour and excitement of a Saturday night or the mournfulness of a Monday morn. But it's our Tuesday, the good old fashioned, honest to goodness, down to earth, great British Tuesday. And if those Eurocrats bureaucrats and other bonkers-trats try and take our Tuesday away from us THEY'LL HAVE TO GET PAST ME FIRST! And if they think I'm going to start my show by saying 'bonjourno doodle doo' and 'gutenmorgenmongous', they've got another think coming.

SMASHIE: I don't think they are gonna do that, mate.

NICEY: Right, but if they did it certainly would be a garlicmongous intrusion to make.

SMASHIE: It would be frogadabbadobulously bonkers, mate. Because ah, what makes a nation is not it's borders or it's monetary system. No. It's it's radio stations such as Radio Fab FM and the people who work therein. Such as you Nicey, you are what makes Britain great.

NICEY: Thanks mate!

(Nicey gestures to Smashie to make similar compliment)

NICEY: And so are you mate!

SMASHIE: Because er, this European business really is getting out of hand. I mean, now we got all these daft countries a-making themselves up and are wanting to be part of Europe. And ah, I can't keep track of them.

NICEY: Well there's ruromania, Czechoslavia, Hungaslavia, Mongoslavia, Omsk, Tomsk, Tobermory, Orinoco, Bulgaria.

SMASHIE: What ever did happen to The Wombles, mate?

NICEY: Good point, one certainly worth making. What happened to the Wombles. Well I'll tell you. There they were, underground over-ground a-wombling free, and then, no more, they were, were they, not here... where they were... type stuff...

SMASHIE: Wombling wise words, mate.

NICEY: Thanks mate.

SMASHIE: I love the Wombles, er, they really were great in a sort of 'short programme before the news' type way.

NICEY: They certainly were, mate.

SMASHIE: And ah, I think we've all got a little bit of the Womble in us haven't we, and I'll bet you've got a bit of the womble in you, ain'tcha Nicey?

NICEY: Well er, I do know the Pet Shop Boys, if that's what you mean.

SMASHIE: Not really no, er. Er, in fact, think it's time I was making a move because I'm taking over from Pip Schofield tonight in Joseph's Coat. So this is me, Mike 'no stranger to charity' Smash saying: arrivederci doodle doo.


NICEY: Auf Wiedersehen, Pet! Alright all you Europrats, listen to me. My name is Davenport Nice, I'm a-standing… Yes - Davenport. I'm a-standing firm for Britain, for her Tuesdays, for her Wombles, for a Bachman, for a Turner and most of all for a noble Overdrive. You ain't seen nothing yet, Euro Poppers - Let us rock!

music: You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Bachman Turner Overdrive

(off air)

SMASHIE: Nicey?

NICEY: Mate?

SMASHIE: Do you really know the Pet Shop Boys?

NICEY: I know the quiet one mate...

Ye all seem to be mentioning her but who is Jenny Agutter

You know who else would be in that list Felicity Kendal

Pauline Fowler when she was in “Are you being served”. Tasty.

Also Raquel Welsh.

Nuala O Mara, Maryfield. 1973.
Every time I was even in the same room as her, I shook like a leaf. Still do when I think of her. Beyond gorgeous. We fell in love. That phhoked it.

BB. An awful lot of teenage energy spent on her.

That's right, Willy, only one 'a', one 'r', one 'e' and just the solitary 's' - nice and seemples

I'm not usually a fan of Victoria Beckham. She normally looks like a stick insect to be fair. But there are pictures of her in the metro today and I'm not going to lie, she nearly made me sneeze in my pants

Lauren Becall. Rowrr!
