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.

This is broad sword calling Danny boy, come in Danny boy...

Feic Off Broad Sword

If we aren't drinking it together, we aren't drinking it at all

That was a Richard Burton quote from Where Eagles Dare!

You drive a hard bargain, Sir. Mrs P will have to be there as well though

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.

Michelle Pfeiffer, the most kissable lips on the planet.

I would know. Too much tongue.

Rava - 'Broadside' might be what you were thinking of (Adnams brewery), if it's beer.

Cari, if women hadn't seen Richard Burton, they would melt at the sound of his voice.

Freddy Starr reciting the lyrics to 'Hard Days Night' in the style of Burton

James Stewart. George Harrison. Don't know. Think I am just lacking in imagination but in those far off days I was more concerned with the available talent than the 'castle in the air' improbabilities.

Buenas tardes, amigos, by the way, amigos.

Evening madam puma, and everyone else.

Talking of voices, Stevie Nicks is warbling on the radio. Ooohh!

What was it I said earlier.

If you don't love me now you will never love me again.

To penalties we go!

Can't believe ronaldo didn't take a penalty. What a gaffe that is.

NOW we're talking. Her voice is gorgeous. As is she. Add her to the list.

We were chatting in work about stars in thier eyes (bring it back btw) and the question came up, if you could click your fingers and be able to to a stars in their eyes like performance properly who would in be?

Is a tough one because it doesn't have to be your favourite singer as such, for example if I could have anyone's singing voice I'd probably pick Luke Kelly but if I could BE anyone on stage it would be Freddie Mercury. The Serbian dude in work picked Prince, just like Nessa from Gavin and Stacy

Morning all, hope that everyone is well on this balmy Dutch day. is brewed, and the is filtering away. Stand in an orderly queue for while I do the foamy stuff.

Big name missing from yesterday - Diana Rigg. I'll say no more

Bore da pawb / good morning all. Muggy as pluck here on the docks - feels like a storm's a-brewin'.

Asbo, you've reminded me of an episode of Shooting Stars:

(The Lightning Round)

VIC REEVES: Diana Rigg is a pig; Richard Gere is a...

ULRIKA JONSSON: ...Queer?

VIC REEVES: (Pretending to be offended) HE'S AN ACTOR!

Nice As... excellent 'thistle' pattern on the foam.

Good call on Diana Rigg. She fits her leather suit very well indeed.

Rocky Elsom may be heading back to Europe after a stint in Japan. He's been released by NSW and is struggling with his shoulder injury.

Stirling Mortlock may have also played his last game in Australia after buggering up his knee again at training with The Rebels.

I've just clicked with the name .... Hapless freegan/Luckless pedestrian. What gives?

It's a long and unfunny story, Breadvan. I'll be changing my username back soon. How's tricks this morning?

Still the same. Restrictions and pressures put on us at work, youngests boys sports day, eldest boy in the KS3 office for scrapping at school.

The usual y'know..

btw..How'd change your username?

Have you abandoned the random tractor thread Breadvan?

Morning all, anyone fancy coming to the letting agents with me to get this electricity debt sorted out so I can have lights?!?!

Glas a du wrote:Have you abandoned the random tractor thread Breadvan?

lol No. Some of the recent posts on there are so random, I haven't been able to come up with anything in reply. Such is the threads awesomeness (is that a word?)

Long night into day, in Balbriggan. Old friends reunited over pints and a bottle of Black Bush. Best night in a long time. Need sleep. Perchance to fantasize.

Charlotte Rampling.

You have to ask a mod to change it for you, Breadvan. It's very emasculating, really.

Good to see you you here, Gibbo!

Howya Hapless/Lucky. The name may change, but the wit, intelligence and beauty, remain the same.

P.S. Could ya lend us a fiver?

Morning Bread. How's de form bud?

Breadvan, you said your son got in trouble for fighting; the important question is: did he win?

Crazy flooding in Belfast yesterday. We had the mother of all thunderstorms.

http://www.u.tv/galleries/Widespread-flooding/552b4f3e-2558-413d-b6a8-0dde5321ca9e/203063#203063

We had some humpback whales in Circular Quay beside the Opera House (right in the heart of the city... it would be like whales swimming up to London Bridge or something) and off Neutral Bay today...

Someone must be feeding 'em! (....or they like the smell of chips and hamburgers.)

They usually only come in about 1km and hang around Manly near the harbour entrance but this time they've swum 6-7km 'upstream'.

Gibbo where were you drinking pints??

Jez Notch that’s some flooding for a nights rain. I’m off to Cork tomorrow and it’s flooded down there too apparently. No access in or out of Clonakilty. The great white pudding shortage of 2012 has begun…

It was only a half hearted affair. A bit of pushing before fistiscuffs. They're both mates usually There's another kid, little er, who stirs up trouble then hides. Hopefully all be sorted today..

A fair bit of the city is flooded. Douglas, Togher, Kinsale Roundabout have been hit bad


Here's Douglas:

Spoiler:

Morning all.

Bikkies, that was just 2 hours of rain. It was wild. MrP was out driving in it and saw several cars sunk or floating away, manhole covers forced up because of the water pressure etc. Glad he was driving the Oversized Dodgem!

And thank goodness it didn't start 2 hours earlier or the Garden Party would have turned into a Pool Party!

Boom take that Letting Agency......got money off them to clear this electricity debt AND I know have working electricity in the flat all round.

Good man Prop!

Thom, we're staying in C4 (Montenotte), which I think missed the worst of it. Painballing should be fun in the muck though!

Painballing? Is that when you all kick each other square in the nuts?

Montenotte isn't C4. You've never been to Corosshaven/Kinsale in the summer is you thnk that. Montenote is on a hill so there should be no flooding there!

A freudian slip there Lucky. It's going to hurt like phook i'd say!

I don't know where i heard that then Thom, think it was in RO'CK...?

It's a bit posh alright but it's not D4 bad. Where you heading paintballing?

Noo! If the recession doesn't finish off Ireland that will

It's times like this I'm glad where I live is on the top floor of a building. Not much flooding around this area anyway, but down by the river

Spoiler:

I blame the Queen

I have no idea where the paintballing is, we're gokarting too, don't know where that is. Also we're going to the dog track tomorrow but i assume there's only one of those in Cork even though we've two in Dublin (like airport terminals and major train stations )

BT Park..

Is say that paintballing and gokarts is up around watergrasshill mick
