The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Bridgend

First topic message reminder :

Hello and welcome to the Dew Drop Inn, 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.

This week the pub has set up in Bridgend, the birthplace of ex Wales and Lions centre Dr. Jack Matthews, who has sadly passed away.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Dr Jack Matthews and his Welsh centres partner Bleddyn Williams.

Flip back up the truck! I didn't realise its in 3d!

5am showing tomorrow here but its all sold out. Going at 7pm instead....probably for the best because its time for some

Mephedrone is miaow-miaow, recreational stimulant. Methadone is the replacement for heroin with fewer nasty side-effects. I though glas was making a mephedrone reference.

Evening Ozzy

I had to play goal shoot tonight, had a shocker and missed my first 5 shots, and about 9 misses all up. Painful considering the final score was 12-12. We really should have won that one comfortably

It's not, Nolan doesn't do 3D

Better than it was Rory. Less pain and more movement, so can't complain really, 99% certain no op required, just rest, steroid injections, anti inflamatories and then physio.

Hope it gets better Ozzy

Ah ok, good stuff chequered .

Pour yourself a Kiwi mate, sounds like you need one after that game!

See you there mate.

My wifi connection is a bit dicey, so off to bed I think. Night all

Ah the shoulders just a damaged rotator cuff. Bloody painful and annoying, but nothing too serious really, be right as rain soon enough.

You just looking for work in clogland or anywhere you can find it?

Am gutted I can't make the Chef's bash once again this year, really wanted to go, but the old girls 60th celebrations are going on longer than anticipated. Ah well, always next year!

That Glas. Hes a card. Makes a lot of references and lets you decide which one to discuss.

BTW Ozzy, your post to Glas last week, had me in tears. You know the one. Solicitors and drugs?

Good. But what actually happened mo chara? Did Niamh put you down?

That child is far too rough. Typical Exile.

Kiwi & Messi. Share that pain.

Be great to see you again Pete. Apparently, we are on Hole-digging duty this year. For the ground-baked food like.

So Hoogie reckons.

Worse than that Gibbo, I think it was Darcy jumping on me that actually did it!!!

Had to get one in with Glas, a bit of banter with our friends across the interview room table is always good

He passed you the ball, you played with it and then sent a screamer into the top left-hand corner. It was brilliant. Timing. Its all about the timing. And the wit.

Ah Darcy was it? You do breed them strong, young man. Good on ya.

He's one of the folk I've not yet met who I'd really like to have a pint with. Can't believe that after all this time there are still regs that I've not supped with.

Interesting, all this stuff about sports training supplements etc. When I did my own training (yonks ago admittedly) it was a bit of muscle work, bullworker, push ups, squat thrusts etc. for about 15-20 minutes indoors. Then a cold shower and then I would run two miles as quickly as possible to build up lung capacity.

A quarter mile of that run was up a 12/1 climb - the downhill part was more gradual and almost level for the last half mile. Then I would really hit it - under two minutes for the last half mile, and nine minutes for the whole two miles.

My club was too far away to make the once weekly training, but I did my own routine, as above, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was fitter than just about everyone, when it came to recovery time. Kinda how fitness used to be measured.

I'm miles off that now, but fitness then was just about hard work, and feic even thinking about 'enhancements'.

You two would be a riot together. He has a wicked sense of humour and a warm smile... for the Establisment like...

Yeah. Ye 2 would have fun. It would be nice.

Howya Hound! You never know what to serve that man. He knows every pub and decent beer in Western Europe.. And beyond.

Fitness bud? Fitness you say? 10 hand-jobs a day or I consider meself an auld wimp. Thank God she's fit. And has a small hand. These things are important in Life. Yup.

Sub 2 min 800m is pretty good pace mate!

Right, it's our bedtime. See you chaps some other time

There ya go Oz.


CJ - it was about pushing myself to the limit back then (the 80s), and setting my own targets. Not settling for comfortable if you know what I mean.

What didn't work for me was jogging 5 miles in 30 minutes, which was the club training mid-week stuff. Then about four pints afterwards

Something that would set me up for a full game and be able to hit top speed after 75 minutes, as well as in the first 10, was what I wanted. It worked for me, but everyone's different.

Yeah, I love a beer now though. Playing days well behind me.

Amsterdam, Dublin, Lahndaan, Toulouse & Chennai, mate.

Bit like Del Trotters van sign.Peckham would suffice.

OMG - Ted Nugent on the Alice Cooper show.


Saw him live at Hammmersmith yonks ago.
Rock as it should be.

Nowt wrong with Peckham, dragged up proper there I was. Good times, before all that health and safety nonsense (dont tell Rava I said that) where kids aren't allowed to do stuff because it's dangerous.

ChequeredJersey wrote:Right, it's our bedtime. See you chaps some other time

Ah yeah CJ. We know what yer doin

Just send us the tape.

Nice talkin to you bro. Please bring more English men & wimmin to the Pub. Ive had enough of Paddies and Taffs, to last me a phookin lifetime.

No racist offence meant mind.

Pete. To be honest Id love either of Dublin or London mate. Peckham would be sweet. Dreamed of India. I love the people. I'm massively over-experienced there. Trained so many. And since Western-Europe (and EMEA) outsourced all their Mainframes there. I thought "this Sub-Continent is mine. 30 years MF experience - I own it"

Until I worked out the rates and converted them to Euros. I asked a guy on the phone, is that a for a week or a month bro? "No, thats it for a year."

I just love Globalisation me.

Ah Gibbo that's shoite mate. Hope you find something soon bud.

I'll get some and on the go then.

Bore da pawb / good morning all.

Slept awkwardly, Pete, or one too many virtual last night?

Morning all, Friday teaser for you - what connects AppleMac computers and the enigma machine?

Is that a clue?

No

AsLongAsBut100ofUs wrote:Morning all, Friday teaser for you - what connects AppleMac computers and the enigma machine?

I haven't a clue, but I really want to know.

I'm guessing it's going to be some technical thing and I don't know much about computers.

Alan Turing.

The only thing i know about the enigma machine is that it was used to break codes, so if i had a gun to my head i'd guess it was to do with the level of encryption they're both capable of, but that seems to obvious.

The enigma was the first "computer" to contain a keyboard and the Apple Mac was the first to use a mouse.

Turing committed suicide by eating an apple laced with cyanide, hence the part eaten apple logo.

I knew that about Alan Turing, but is that really why Apple chose that logo?

Interesting you should mention that, just reading up on some stuff that suggests that doing aerobic work after strength training in the same workout, even as little as 10 minutes impedes strength gains up to 20%.......

So I hate to break it to you...but you really needed to do 20% more squat thrusts ! .....

Gibbo there must be plenty of mainframe work in the motherland? Keep it on the QT but I have a suspision that Celtic Tiger III is on its way....

If you are interested in working in Belshaft or legenderry my company might have opportunities, are you interested in Tibco? Money would be peanuts for a man like yourself but I'll PM you the link if you're interested.

Legenderry - did you make that up, Rodders?

HERE


.........

Morning all.

I clearly didn't try hard enough last night, I'm nowhere near as sore as I was on Wed. Although that may be the difference with between marking an ex-England captain, and marking a bloke who's played 9 matches ever.
