The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Mendoza

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 its way to Mendoza - the city at the foothills of the Andes and one of the venues for the inaugural Rugby Championship.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Rory McIlroy, Sam Cane, Juan José Imhoff, Eben Etzebeth, Jake Schatz and Rob McCusker.

Though Rav, if you get in there, just have them to stop the unneccesary 3rd distillation, and get in the right barrels and they'll have a proper full flavoured whisky in no time*

Pete, the only semi-palatable top-shelf medicine in the world is The Macallan, and they nicked the idea of maturing in Sherry barrels from the righteous ones. If nothing else, the triple distilling removes the taste of peat from the equation, and I haven't relished the idea of a drink made with dirt since I was 3 years old.

MOTD. Yo! Lots of overpaid man-girls, flaunting around de place.

I love it!

Oooh Van Persie. Brilliant!

Kiwi I saw that barsteward on Come Dine. Typical Frenchman. Richard The Lionheart showed him the way.

Feic off with your suggestions. I'll remind you of when Bushmills started will I?

1608!
The Scots were still Poopie yella man for feic sake.

Don't know how much this is based in fact, PJ, but in South America - well, Argentina - they don't say that they speak Espanol (don't know how to do the til on the n - sorry) they speak Castellano (ie Castilian) and believe that their form of Spanish is a 'purer' form. Quien sabe?

There are also Welsh speakers in Patagonia Puma.

Neil Armstrong had died guys.

PJ, remember you are talking to a 2nd-div Scots colonialist. They have NO idea about whiskEy. Just sayin.

The only thing that stopped Irish WhiskEy dominating the High-end, was the British Empire. That's gone now. Time to re-take our rightful place on the World Stage. No 1. Its happening now.

Si, quien sabe? No lo se. Felices Navidades!

I'm all out...

Indeed, Cari, when I went down to Puerto Madryn, our tour guide was a young lad who spoke Castellano (obviously), English and Welsh. He told us of how he went to Wales on a sort of heritage pilgrimage and was feted and toured about by the folk because he spoke Welsh. Don't know, does Welsh change with the generations or are there thought police trying to keep it 'pure' like the Academie Francaise in france fighting against the tide with 'le weekend' and 'le picnic'.

And the fact that single malts are better, eh, Gibbo?

The BBC MOTD commentary team.

Lineker = Janice
Lorro = Gladys
Hansen - Myrtle

They should be on afternoon TV for dead people.

I know this, cos Ive been watching it for 18 months.

Ah bless, Shay Given is... He needs to retire or move down a divison. It will happen.

Everton(little Rangers) are rocking. So are Full-ham.

Swansea are playing porno-fudball. Love it.

We know Willser. I remember him landing on the Moon. In the Arizona Desert.

Ermm. Appreciation of a great, peat smoked malt is given only to those who have achieved a higher state of sophistication. If you are fortunate, you might find enlightenment. Keep working at it, lads.

Gibbo your lurve of the round ball worries me.

It's the devils game I tell ye.

Port Madryn I believe Cari.

I haven't seen the score, but if Argentina have beaten SA, that gives them a massive boost. Plus a big boost to the competition.

Sorry biltong, but that is a neutral view. World rugby has advanced.


Well done SANZAR for giving the Pumas the opportunity to finally compete at this level.

Leeds Leeds leeds

Wise words. Pity they went right over na heid tho'

Interesting that it's non Scots that are extolling the virtue of the cooking liquid!

All ye need is a bit of edumacation and a few weeks on de North Coast of Norn Iron!

It was a draw Hound. Well deserved one though.

Though I wasn't quick enough in France, Joce had the Balvenie safely hidden away within 5 minutes of me handing it over.

Pete! Didn't the Scots try that as well?

Adopt people I mean. Seems you have an affinity there.

NZ are 'net exporters' though, given the number of players opting to play for Samoa who were born in NZ.

Funny eh Rav bud? We supported Leeds in the days of glory. And took the hate. Man how they hated Leeds fans. I was in a primary schoolroom of 30. 29 Manure fans... And me. I think it formed me actually.

Swansea FC are SUPERB! Its no wonder Welsh rugby teams have no decent following.

Swansea are sheshey all right. Won't win anything though. That's the unfortunate thing.

But Rav, they play stunning football and their fans will expect and enjoy that. If they come half-way in the PL, then that's cool. Its not all about winning silver. Ulster know that well.

OK. Advice please.
I've just had two and a half glasses of a wonderful Sauv Blanc (Sorry Kiwi, it was French) and a bottle of mass produced Cab Sauv from Aus.
Do I?

(a) open another red knowing I will drink it and end up pished?
(b) turn off the TV and go to bed.
(c) open another red knowing I will drink it and end up pished and Skype Gibbo?

C

In the big competition of Man v Sleep. Sleep has won.

Night all

See pal, yet "experts" like Lawrenson thought Swansea were certain to drop. Can't see it. No matter what manager (Martinez, Rodgers etc), keep the same philosophy.

I did want to reply to a few more people, but forget now. Played again today in my friendly. Won 21-10 in the memorial game. Great win against Whiteheads who I think are in the Sarries league. I have a broken beak though. Base luckily. Great memorial night after it. Steve would be proud.

Watching the Father Ted back, best comedy programme shown on C4 ever. Great documentary.

That's Risca 2's again. Beaten two teams in Sarries league (St Jo's too), so speak to me for tips Penfro and Prop. You're a proper league side, so should look to do them both. We had our 2's all out today And no firsts.

I was pack leader and vice captain too. Buzzing.

I love you Rev. Broken beak or not.

You feicin Hero.

Morning from the 0748 Wimbledon to Guildford VIA epsom service. Hughie works another bank holiday weekend, think I've worked them all this year. Sound!!!

You up and down on trains all day or sat at a station Hoog?

Up and down all day ozzy

That's crepe hoog.
:Erdinger:

Morning pub. I feel better than I ought to for some reason. Pints during the day in the ' Diff, then more back at my local. It felt like two days in one.

Morning all, congrats on the draw to Arg, I'm sure they'd have preferred the win, but that is a great result. Glad that I missed the nonsense talk on the Uisge Beatha - at least Puma, Kiwi Pete and CJ have achieved a higher level of understanding

Uisge Beatha, doesn't that word come from Irish............

Jonathan Creek has been added to netflix. That's this afternoon sorted then.

I don't know what that is Willy

Really hoog?
