The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Sea of Tranquility, Luna

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Mon 27 Aug 2012, 12:41 pm

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 the Moon, in honour of the late Neil Armstrong. One small step for man ...

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Lance Armstrong in yellow, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin moonwalking, or the shot of Joe Ansbro breaking the line.

Evening all. Looks like I'm off back to the dr in he morning, I had a choking coughing fit earlier and nearly fainted, which sounds far too much like whooping cough for my liking Sad

Hound_of_Harrow wrote:50k+ crowd at the MS for it I reckon Gibbo. It probably won't boost attendances at the Regional grounds in the long run; unless the Regions are allowed to have a presence (stands with merchandise and signing up new STHs etc.).

The layout of the MS could lend itself to that, from the north and south entrances.

Hound,
That an excellent idea man. Use it as a catalyst and a selling point. Get them in their 10's of 1000's and sell them regional pride and... stuff.

Its the 21st Century. Its all about morkeshing. And keeping up with the Dai Jones's.

Rav,
What a lad! I really admire kids that go the whole way for something they love. And to have dedicated parents who support them. Excellent. I'll spread the word bud. guinness

Kiwi, mate, Im getting worried about you pal. This coughing has gone on far too long for a non-smoker. You need answers and a solution - fast. Must see a Specialist at this stage and not an MD. Hug

by ChequeredJersey Tue 28 Aug 2012, 11:52 pm

How long has it been, Kiwi? And moat importantly has there been any blood, any sweating fever at night or weight loss?

2 weeks tomorrow. No blood, I did wake up in a sweat this morning, but Anne had turned the ******* heating on. No weight loss (mores the pity).

I wouldn't worry too much, I would go to the doctor's and get some antibiotics though, it sounds like there might be a pneumonia building up

Cheers mate. Up until today my workmates have been more worried than me, but the near fainting thing tonight threw me a bit.

I love this. We have a (another) Online Doctor in the Pub. Should be fun when MrsP comes back. I reckon we have all bases covered in here to run a 21st Century kibbutz.

Morning guys, forgot to tell you that our little two man band did a show for a 50th brithday party on Saturday (for free obviously) and it went rather well.

I got some good compliments for my solo performances and people reckon me voice ain't half bad.

Was a bit nerve racking though.

I opened the floor with this " People the more you applaud, the less we sing, if you throw tomato's and boo, we play all night" Laugh

I wonder how popular (or not) it will be. Could be a good fixture.

Cari, I can see that working very well - the London double header season opener and the one at Christmas would seem to support that contention

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed 29 Aug 2012, 8:55 am

I'm not so sure, Asbo. I doubt it'll bring in many new fans if the internationals aren't playing, which is likely given the timing of the thing; but my main gripe is that the Dragons will lose any genuine sense of home advantage for the game against the Scarlets (who tend to beat us even when we do have genuine home advantage).

I love that Schopenhauer quotation, though!

"It is such a special study that I'm fairly confident that cannabis is safe for over-18 brains, but risky for under-18 brains."

So presumably it's going to be legalised, then?

Dreamer - have you read a book called "The Book of Lost Things".

I think you would really like it.

Luckless I can't wait for new rugby season. We got our referees briefings from the IRFU yesterday about the new laws.

I have to say my gut feeling is that we will see a lot of box kicking from Munster early in the season.

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed 29 Aug 2012, 9:31 am

Will that be in response to a law change then, Stag? The only one I've heard of is the tweaking of the engagement at the scrum.

Billy - ah that is disappointing, but sure my phone more than made up for it on my Glasgow trip!

Lucky- same! Cant wait for Sat now, even if I still don't know how I'm getting to and from the match. Minor details....

Stag- nope not read it but the name rings a bell. Will look it up later Smile

Anyway, gwaith is a calling, have lovely days folks.

by red_stag Wed 29 Aug 2012, 9:36 am

There are a few new changes (about 6 in total) Luckless all designed to speed up the game. At the breakdown once ball is available you have to use it in 5 seconds. I think that unless our backline alignment seriously improves we are going to just see Conor Murray box kicking.

Rava - Voted Yahoo
