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.

Erm not quite Glas. Its just Im at peak Granda age... without the grandkids like. I may just bypass them and do the job myself.
Rav is already a Granda... All my best mates are grandas... I hate being left out...

Hi MrsP. Hi Notch.

Howya Gibbo me auld mukka

Evening all

Wos occurin'?

Gibson, where have you been man? Haven't seen you round these parts for a long time.

Or many of the irish guys actually.. like rodders, Rava etc.

Hoi Ozzy mate. I see Charlotte won her comp. Excellent. Id say her closest competitor was fuming. Irons at 10 paces gals!

She did mate, thanks to yourself and everyone in this pub and all those across the forum who chipped in, so thanks again to everyone.

How's tings with you mate, you still in Dublin?

Im in Dublin Rory. Not always near a PC. Nice break away from them tbh.

I think the NZ result affected some Irish rugby fans reason to live. I dont actually want to talk about it either.

Roll on the start of the PRO12, Jeff, TOP14 and Heino.

Still in Dublin, yeah mate. Have met up with some old and new friends. Its been great - in between daily hospital visits. Back to NL on Thursday.

I see Van Marwijk got the shove/left the Nederland job. He wanted to ban half the team for being disruptive. Just like the old days. Looks like Rudi is in prime postion. We need a return to sexshy fudball and players who work for the team and not their own egos. It was a shambles.

Ahoy Gibbo. Howya?

I hope your ma is ok.

If kiwi is about, I reckon we have The Wheatsheaf primed for the early morning Championship games.

Love ya bud, if you need anything just shout.

The dutch were very disappointing to be honest. How players with so much ability can fail to deliver so spectacularly is beyond me. Some seriously sexshy footie from the Spaniards last night though.

Fair play man. Hope you are enjoying yourself.

Gibbo -

RD, can I loan you for a minute in the MOD forum please

"Sure a Welshman just won the Irish open in Golf too "

Thought I would move this here. Fortunately I don't watch golf. Those pesky welsh.

Mind you, I don't watch it either. Still, a wins a win!

Anyone seen the pic of Rob McCusker from the WRU's link about him being the new Scarlets captain?

He quite literally looks exactly like my brother. It's actually rather alarming - I had to do a double take!

Quiet in here, mind you it is 12.30 am on a school night.

Job application completed. That was one hell of a lot of effort for a temporary job

to wind down before sleep time.

Good luck with the job!

Can't sleep won't sleep

Morning Glas, morning all, early morning brew and on the go - haven't heard from billy in a wee while, hope he's still on the mend. Good luck with the job app, swanny, let me know if there's anything I can do? And lastly, happy new house, prop - an exciting step

Mark Twain: "I did not go to his funeral. But I wrote a nice note saying that I approved of it."

Bore da pawb / good morning all, I'll have a if I may, Asbo!

The worst thing about this miserable weather is that there's nothing any of us can do about it. The sun's still there, beating down, it's just that these damn clouds are in the way.

Bit gutting, Lucky, looks like it'll be with us till the weekend, I think - having to postpone the annual village inter-pub cricket match

It's lousy, isn't it? It's still possible that the rest of the summer will be beautiful, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm putting money on an Indian summer in September

Well better late than never!

It’s pathetic fallacy lads. someone, somewhere is feeling rotten, when they’re out of the horrors the sun will be splitting the stones again.

Morning folks, so after 12 years of work Ive finally had to take a sick day. Gutted.com


We got a load of new pots in the house last week and I was making dinner last night. Decided to make pasta bake, so I threw the pasta on the boil and went back to the tennis. Checked it after ten minutes, THAT'S A BINGO pasta cooked. Now I find out that the new pots have a massive design fault in that handle heats up to about a million degrees. Which o only found out when I grabbed it. Hand under the tap for am hour didn't do anything so off to hospital I went. Hand all.bandaged up and a dose of painkillers for Hugh. Hand is in bits.


Hence the first ever sick day

Jeysus Hughie, that’s a pretty fundamental design flaw. “this pot must be able to withstand temperatures of up to 300 degrees Celsius without deforming… anything else?” “well we could make it so that people can touch the pot while it’s cooking?” “get out”.

Fair play if it’s your first ever sick day, I’ve taken a few in my time, none this year so far, nearly called in this morning. Really wrecked and run down…

Sorry to hear that, Hugh - don't try to rush things with the healing process, my friend. Can you take the pans back? Whether yes or no, I'd get rid of them PDQ - it's only going to happen again. Take care

That's shocking, Hughie. I'd say you could make a claim against the manufacturer.

Aye first sick day today, ah well had to go sometime


Going to.take tomorrow as well and.go see the nurse and she what she thinks then

Sick days are nothing to feel bad about Hughie especially when they are genuine unlike some of the ones most of us have taken in the past

Hey Mick have ya watched the end of Game of Thrones season 2?

Pete if the end of Season 2 is anything like the end of Book 2 its mind blowing!

Hughie,

I would be tempted to write a letter of compaint to the pot manufacturer.

Product is clearly not fit for safe use.

Billy is back at home Asbo, although he's still got lots of nurses looking after him

Hugh - glad you went to the hospital in the end to get it sorted. I shall for now refrain from making remarks about you being bested by a sospan.... hope your hand gets better soon.

A Game of Thrones, I was really enjoying season 2 until I moved home. Don't have sky here and haven't managed to find the time to catch up with the episodes online, haven't watched it now since episode 6. Absolutely love it though!

Hi Pete, no haven’t watched the end of it yet. had plans to do it yesterday but I bought a new hard drive last week and had to transfer all my media (500gb) to it, it took about 6 hours and took both hard drives out of action. I’ll watch them tonight if I’m not still wrecked, I don’t want to be falling asleep and miss them, and I’m still kate bushed after the weekend, officially into 3 day hangover territory at this stage.

Ooooo that's bad Mick, the 3 dayers are feikers. Sometimes you can feel your liver shrug it's little livery shoulders in utter defeat. My sympathies are with you as much as with Hughie's burn.

Three day hungovers are a killer, i had one last week after devon.


IN THE HORRORS!!!

If the Irish trade acts are anything like the british ones, you could make a claim as it's not fit for it's purpose or because it is not merchantable quality. More so the former.

Bah!! You young fellas and hangovers

13 Hour session with Gibbo in Dublin on Sunday. No hangover but tired after all the Da Dancing

Only applies to the retailer not the manufacturer.

Ah, you smart little feicer so it does, I have been wronged once again, my Business studies failed me big time.



In other news Conanch have signed a fellow called Poolman. A South African fellow from the Stomrers. Someone could make a joke out of his name but I'm not going to bother.

Another South African??

Still piddling down outside, no gardening again. Still, time for a day of watching Wimbledon and cycling instead I guess.....


Oooo Bob Diamond has resigned now too (I missed the news earlier).

Right I know I've got until December to wait, but looking at all the character pics for it....can't wait! http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20504849,00.html?stitched#20980349

13 hour? Lightweight.

Try 2 13 hour sessions in 2 days with paintballing 1 afternoon and hardly any food. AND i never fell asleep in a chair in the smoking area neither.

Hi everyone.

Let's hope we can get a full day's play at Wimbledon, dreamer.

TdF on in a little while too.

Freezing cold last night here... -5 at Ayers Rock, -9 in northern NSW.
Same again tonight.

That must have been a one off Mick. Hasn't happened before or since Gibbo took me to Coppers. Know it?
