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.

I really don't understand the fuss about 50 Shades of Grey either. Erotic literature has been around for aeons, and there's much better written and sexier stuff around if that's what rocks your boat. I think it's a classic case of a big band wagon rolling through. Apparently the book is actually quite mediocre.

Thanks for the tip, Cari.

It's not embarrassing if everybody's at it

At least they won't have a problem turning the pages...

or flicking sticky touchscreens...

Can you skip to the dirty bits on a kindle?

You could but then we'd have to punish you

Bit late for that Glas. I read Lady Chatterley's Lover when I was still at school!

Victoria sandwich cake made

Off to see my mum and sis, and the two little monsters, now. Have a good day/evening everyone

Have a good day Swanny. You seem to be quite the expert at baking now.

That Victoria sandwich cake looks mouth watering.... have a great day Swanny.

Awww ... I'm hungry now. Have a great time Swanny.

Sister in law has brought Welsh cakes over

Afternoon all!! In the flat now and unpacked, long week but now chilling infront of the tv watching 'house' just pictures to put up in the week!!

Happy New Home Prop.

Cheers Cari, so nice to finally have my own pad!!

It's great isn't it? You tend to develop bad habits though...like sitting about in your pants watching telly and using the loo with the door open

Enjoy your new home prop.


I left home at 21 and it was a struggle at first, but it was the best thing I did. Freedom, but much learning about life.

Evening all.

Hi all.
I'm in Dublin's Fair City with my mate Gibbo.
Love the man.

Hope all is ok with Gibbo Rava

Why did I make a dental appointment for a Monday morning? Gets it out of the way I suppose but I'm not looking forward to it!

Morning slackers


On the way to Guildford atm, nice quiet way the start the day, always nice to be coming out of London during the morning rush hour

Althiugh that said I will be leaving guildford at 07:37 and coming back into London right in the middle if rush hour, ah well.

Morning Hoog/morning all, hope that everyone is well. brewing and in the cafetiere-thingy

Morning buddy,

No fried eggs this morning??

If Tommy Bowe had long hair he would look like your man from Abba

I don’t ever want to see a drink again for as long as I live. Worst case of the DT’s I’ve ever had in my life last night, was convinced I was in a barber chair while someone force fed me hair. Truly terrifying. Cork was fun, but never again…

Well not until Friday anyway Mick

Nope, had them earlier

Morning all!!!!

DTs are the worst Mick, not pleasant at all but I can only imagine by midweek you'll be starting to think about gettin back on that horse

Bore da pawb / good morning all. Summer my @rse. <umbrella>

Grown out of the freegan fad then?

Yep. No more mould for me.

It's nature's antibiotic.

Morning, amigos. Wet here as well, Lucky. And midgie-infested. please, As.

Hi all. Not feeling well at all today. Last night's combination of rum, whisky (thats right it was without an "e") and beer has not gone down well.

Been up since 7 for work. Still have not been able to eat anything. I have had water, fresh orange juice, coca cola, tea and coffee. None have worked.

Good god Staggy that's simply a recipe for a huuuuuuge hangover. Rum, whisky and beer? Are ya sane?
My sincere sympathies are with you though, definately try and get some food down if you are to speed up the recovery.

When I get a bad hangover I feel like my stomach has shrunk. I’m thirsty but I just don’t feel like I’ve the room to get the fluids back into me.

I just had two pieces of toast, the first thing I’ve ate since about 2pm yesterday and I feel uncomfortably full.

It’s a good thing I’ve a 2 hour meeting with an ISO auditor today, that’s going to be awesome…

Oh jeezuz my lower intestines feel like they went toe to toe in a bout against Katie Taylor.

Pete - I had some pals over and they brought a bottle of scotch. We drank it watching the soccer match, then went to the pub and I had a few pints and they some girls doing a promotion for free Malibu came in and we got a few rums for free. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

I am ravenously hungry but the thought of food makes the contents of my stomach want to explode out of every orifice possible.

Stag the best remedy for that is an oily english style breakfast, a couple of glasses of fruit juice, it won't take long before nature will call, and you will be as right as rain.

Biltong - your are very right my friend.

The best fry up I ever had was in Barking in East London.

I was over over Munsty's 21st birthday and we did the dog on it in a major way. Next morning me and a few of the other lads found this real greasy spoon cafe recommended to us by some London cabbie.

10% food, 90% grease and 100% taste!!

Morning all, London has decided to start off my week off on a damp note.

So I'm going to to all the jobs around the house I was too hungover to do yesterday or Saturday (missing last tube home Saturday night was an error, compounded by us deciding to get a couple more pints in before facing up to the perils of the 90 minute night bus to "near home". At least KFC near home was still open at 3am (note, I only eat there when I'm drunk).


Asbo, if you're still about, a mate suggested doing a trip up to Murrayfield for the ABs AI on Remembrance Day. What's the best option for tickets? The NZRU allocation tickets go on sale any day, but they're a bit pricey (they will have Cat2 for £70, Cat3 for £60). Which is about £100 cheaper than the Twickenham ones!

Pete, those Kiwi tickets look v pricey relative to the direct price - check here: http://www.scottishrugby.org/emctests/

I've just realised the NZ alloc tix prices were in $NZ not £s. So basically on a par with the SRU - but the SRU lets you pick exact seats, and doesn't insist on an NZ passport no for each ticket.

Ah-ha, that makes sense. We are in Block W13 btw

Ok I've just realised I wont be able to eat my tuna. Might have to go to the shops instead or maybe get something greasy on the go.

I hate being hungover at work. You have my deepest sympathies, Stag.

Afternoon folks


That the game your taking Finn to as??

Taking both the littlies, they're v keen to see the Haka live

Ah good stuff that'll be a decent weekend away

Hiya all. Back in work today. Lovely time up Inverness. Real shame I don't get up there much, especially for my wife (though she goes more than me).

Killer of a drive back down. Had to drive to Wales, then back to Swindon all in the same day, so it took like 12 hours, with a detour in because of the poor old fella that killed himself driving up the wrong way of the M4. It may be harsh, but I'm glad he didn't cause further injuries. Not sure what possessed him to do a u turn at the toll, bar I guess he had no money.
