The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Antananarivo Arms, Madagascar

First topic message reminder :

Hello and welcome to the Antananarivo Arms 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 Madagascar, where 35,000 raucous fans recently watched the home side upset Namibia in a 110-point thriller.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of the Madagascan team war dance, Japan/NRL-bound Sonny-Bill Williams, Bradley Wiggins and the prematurely-retired Mark Boucher above the bar.

May have to go back for a few matches!!

Is anyone else watching Irish Rappers Revealed on BBC 3? I thought it was a mockumentary...it's actually a cutting edge doco...

Incidentally...Willy...O2 must've had big problems earlier. It made the news:

Thanks Lucky. We'll see whats the gen next March, bud.

Penfrooo. You snore too. I snuck in beside you at As's place. You were so willing. All I had to do was say Cwytch!

Evening Gaffer

Be honest, you do sound like a wild boar when you're asleep...but it doesn't matter as long as you're getting your beauty sleep eh?

Only when I drink.

A friend just sent me this via imessage;

This thing with O2 being down is putting a real smile on my face - thinking about all those smartphone addicts who are now actually going to have to put the phone down and TALK to the people sitting right beside them for a change.

sent from my iPhone

They still have big problems Cari, not fixed yet.....

Meh I don't use my phone much anyway. I am a loser, don't get many texts. Unless.. this is O2s fault.

Rory who do you think makes up all the text jokes?

I hardly ever ring or text people and often don't even answer the phone, but its the principal of the matter.....

First Ulster bank and now O2...shower of useless barstewards....

I only use my phone when I'm organising something or if I have another half, but alas I am a single man.

Well I got a text from someone there now, and they seem to have got my response. So yeah I think it is working for me!

Roll on Friday. 5 hours left of this shift then one more night and that's me done and JP Morgan 7's at The Stoop here I come!!!

Losing many to the Olympics Ozzy? It's fouling things up with bail dates etc. down with us.

Got to go, breech of Asbo in court...

Bore da pawb / good morning all. I'll put the kettle on, but I'm not making any or for anyone else...

Morning everyone

Happy Orangefest to the Dutch and Ulster based regs..

Rest of my teams are off today so hopefully this will be a quiet one....

Oh yeah O2 still down the feicers....

Have they announced why they're down, Rodders?

Morning all. Thanks for the hot water Lucky

I'll make myself a

Off now until 23rd London on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing Asbo and family.

Not that I know of Luckless.

Morning all :tea: please! Training again tonight, hopefully we'll have high numbers again!!

And....only just over 5 weeks till America!!!!

That's a decent break, Rava - hope the weather perks up!

Where in the States are you going, Prop?

Munster fans.

I am looking good to go for the Munster v Dragons game on the weekend of the 22nd Sep. Will post about travel details soon etc, but last time the lads came over, they flew to Knock and drove (as it worked out cheaper). I think I will come over Friday-Sunday, unless our game is a Sunday game.

Buzzing.

Way to go Rev
Pity it isn't Belfast mate. Would love to see you again. Maybe next time?

Where in the States are you going, Prop?

12 days in Florida (Orlando and Naples) and 4 days in Wisconsin for the other half's friend's wedding. Missing last friendly and first league match for the Sarries though annoyingly.

Prop, where are you staying in Orlando?

Ummm in a villa for 2 days then a week in a villa in Naples and then in a holiday inn on international drive. Doing disney and circ du solei too.

Naples, Fla, right?

Yep that's the one!!

You & the missus should have a great time.

Are you going on one of those hovercraft vee-hic-cle forays on the swamplands?
Imagine all the gator scattering as you fly past their hide-outs....

Those hoverboat things remind me of Gentle Ben, anyone remember that?

Morning all.

A tip for those afflicted O2 users, apparently if you switch your phone to 2G mode you have a decent chance of getting calls/sms to work

I had to be in the office an hour early for an 8.30 breakfast meeting* this morning. So if someone can point me to the caffeine drip that'd be grand.


* Yes I know, I normally work civilised "marketing" hours. But I do have an 80 minute commute first ...

Not sure yet, depends on what we feel ike doing! We're meeting her family out there as they're flying out week before so they'll have the villa's!!

Should be great, just need to ensure I keep working on fitness out there!!

Kiwi, some of us are having lunch around that time mate

Morning to all. I hope all is well in your worlds?

Hi all, I don't know how anyone does web design as a full time job. I have dedicated the last 3 weeks to creating a new website and it is so tedious.

Morning Billy, how's tricks?

EDIT: Morning Stag, too!

I am ok Lucky, got the all clear now so can go home today at some stage. Hope you are well there.

Morning all, and a sepcial howya boy to Billy.

They're great craic, what's as good is eating alligator itself. To quot The Lion King: "Tastes like chicken" I also had "Gator wings" another time, don't know why they call them wings but hey they were nice I won't complain. My brothe r has a little baby alligator head too, bit scary but still


Rev, good chance I won't be in Cork that weekend, but if you're wondering about accomodation or anything like that will try help you out. If you're getting a car, stop in KCs in Douglas. Not too far from Musgrave Park and it is a great chipper, more for their unorthodox menu stuff but it is outstnading. My advice, King Creole or a Kansas City BBQ.

Stag my website is being redesigned as we speak. £400 plus VAT. Money well spent.

It's easy not to put on weight out there if you walk around a lot, you tend to balance out with the food you eat! Go for a run at 6am when no one is up, that will keep you fit, and it will leave you with a big red head on you! Hotel gym is a nice option too. You will be surprised by how much walking you do around the parks and stuff, a good 4/5 km a day.

Prop already has a girlfriend, Thomond.
