The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, The Patch

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 Patch - a tiny rugby union* community nestled in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne in the week before the AFL Grand Final.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Willie Falloon, Joel Conlon, Peter Murchie, Lewis Jetta, Lance "Buddy" Franklin and Frazier Climo.

* "Tell him he's dreaming..."

Tommy's back playing tomorrow night - first time since March, his debut for Ulster and where? CARDIFF!!! As if I won't be there with a Clarks pie and a brew for him

Fairy nuff.

Will do. Really looking forward to it. Work are letting me finish early and it's dress down day too.

Hope all's well in London

Think my iPhone has lost its copy paste function. Scared to update to IOS6 too, after hearing conflicting reports.

Rev I downloaded it today. Seems fine so far.

Have to say Stag has been in fine form these last couple of days.

P.S. Esso, every blydi fuel works on a molecular level.

If anyone in the UK/Ire wants to watch or record the Aussie Rules GF - Hawthorn v Sydney Swans - it's on ESPN at 04:30 Sat morning; according to an email I just received from ESPN.

Not sure if that's the 'bounce up' (or whatever 'kick off' is called), or the programme start.

Duh! That's if people have ESPN.

Cheers Rev!

Getting anxious about tomorrow. Dog comes to live with me for over 2 weeks. Total immersion. Only way to face fear. It is arriving at 6am tomorrow morning.

Stag - insist on feeding the dog, but keep it away from its food until you say it can have it. Placing the dog in a different room while you're dishing it up is the best way.

The dog will see you as a friend, and a necessity.

Hound tomorrow im working but I'll be alone with it all day Saturday so will have to walk/feed it that day. That will be the acid test.

You have to make sure the dog knows its place, but in a way that it trusts and appreciate's you.

I'm not sure what it has been used to - i.e. spoilt or brought up 'properly'. Properly being a very subjective word when it comes to pets.

I was always told as a child Stag, to make sure the dog knew that you were their boss.

i.e don't get down to their level. Use your height as an advantage (clearly this was more important for a young kid who was of similar size to said family dog, but still the same concept should work). Dog's are pack animals and will recognise authority, they just need to learn their place in the pecking order.

Hound's suggestion about the food sounds good to me. Tone of voice works too. Sure just pretend you're telling off a rugby player like you do when you're a ref and you should be fine

And evening all. Debating whether to go on the exercise bike or not. Suppose I should really....

Im watching Lord of Rings III tonight and trying to prevent early onsets of man flu turning into something worse. So warm clothes and hot chocolate!

Spot on dreamer. Dogs need to know who's in charge, aand pretty quickly.

Have hot water, honey, lemon and ginger if you can (or at least deffo have it without the ginger at least), that always works a treat for me Stag

Off to attack the exercise bike. Nos da pawb

Love that song Gibbo, not listened to it in ages!

Well said Swanny.

I was just wondering how Stag is going to cope for two weeks with a whammel in his life... it's not normal.

whammel?

My thoughts exactly Stag. I'm slightly afraid to Google it

= whammel. I'm a bit concerned is all, I'm arachnophobic and if my best mate asked me to look after his tarantula, I'd find another mate... end of.

I thought a whammel was some sort of boat....?




Did 4K on the bike in 10 mins. Don't know if that's good or bad, but my God I am seriously out of shape.

Gibbo,

If you're still about and read this, are you in de Dam on 9th October? If you are, and you can, get yourself down to Melkweg, wherever that is. Just discovered one of my favourite musicians, Richard Hawley, is playing there that night. You'll love him. Cari will concur

A fear of dogs is a tough one. Most people love them and are in no way understanding. This will either be a great moment or the stuff that great sitcoms are made of.

Staggy and Hooch!

Ah you'll be grand Staggy.

No doubts about ya at all.

A phobia is a phobia Stag, when I rip out a kitchen and a spider bolts from under a cab, I Poopie myself. People look at me like I'm stupid running from a tiny wee spider, but I can't rationalise it.

I understand and I admire you for having the courage to give it a go.

Staggy and Hooch.

Post us some pictures of you both in your jim-jams watching re-runs of Morcambe and Wise.

Im quietly confident MrsP. Ill send you a pic of me and him hanging out.

Don't listen to them stag dogs are not to be trusted.... they can always spot a non dog lover a mile away so you're feiced.....

Next thing you'll be down the Rescue Centre wanting to adopt one of your own!

I reckon it our out Tara that started you on the road to "recovery"!

Aw come on stag. How can a wee Schnauzer terrify one of Munstet's finest?

STAND UP AND FIGHT!

TO THE BRAVE AND THE FAITHFUL ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Even mastering a mutt not known for its aggressive tendencies.

Dogs are like wee 'uns. They need feeding and emptying and a few toys to amuse themselves with.

See what I mean regs?

Every time I've seen our Swanny on Tour, she's swanned in and lit the room up.

Bakes exceedingly good cakes also.

Awh, thanks Gibbo Did you see my other post? Some live music you really should check out

I know the feeling! At 6 foot 4 or so, people don't understand why I am terrified of a wee spider. I can't help it though.

What sort of dog is it Stag?

Arr, yowm on the right road theer Swanny, riffy = stinky or darety, Flays am them little jumpin jacks that nip, lodgers fer whammels.

To put the vernacular in it's correct context, one might say, for instance:

"Mek shuwer yower whammel ay got flays befower yow let it in yer yard, Stag."

Its a small thing Schnauzer its called. One of those dogs that have a moustache.

Small ones are the worst stag. Keep a tranquilizer gun on hand just in case.

You 6/4 as well Rory.
I was that the last time I measured myself. Then I remembered there was 9" broken off the end of the tape measure.

PJ - I'm not a Cockney. I just live in London, and no where near the East End.
