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.

Lilly Allen's a Schnauzer?

Ok I got it PJ,

"Make sure your dog hasn't got fleas before you let in your yard, Stag."

In Yorkshire it would go something like " Check yer whippet ain't got fleas afore ye let it in yer out'ouse, Stag."

It was a little riposte for the "brummie" ting, Hound.

Peej, Ive a pal with a massive thing for Lilly Allen. I never understood it personally.

For Our Cari. The lady who has come such a long long way. Brain the size of a Planet, just waiting to come out and play.
I love her so. She rocks.

Also, she sends me hand-made Welsh chocolate in brown-paper bags. This sways it.

I woke this morning to the horrible news they found Jill Meagher's body and have arrested some bloke and have now charged him with her murder.

I just can't understand these 'people'. I feel so sick thinking about it.
My thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to her husband Tom and Jill's family. Truly awful news.

(sorry to break the news this way)

Jeez breaker. Thats horrible to hear. Actually im delighted they have a body and can get some closure.

Hound_of_Harrow wrote: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.

Feic, you've just described me!

Oh lord LB that's awful. You hope for the best whilst fearing the worst. Her poor family must be in bits.

Staggy, the public and Police did a fantastic job to nail this guy.

I suppose a part of me was hoping that she would be found safe and sound but those hopes were dashed when my alarm went off at 6 and I heard the news. It is great that they have got this guy within the first week of her disappearance but the image of Jill's Mum and husband pleading for help/mercy haunts me. It's all so unnecessary.

The accused had a 90 second court hearing at 2:30am this morning.

See ya tomorrow As. SAS @ C+


Nos da pawb.

Staggy and Hooch.

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

I can, my sweet. Yer a very, very, very, VERY - large Walsall girl's blouse.

Nite Hound. Sleep tight.

Stag - those Schnauzers look a bit scary to me. Very 19th C with the mo and beard. A friend used to have one which used to dig holes and present the family with all sorts of wildlife... so don't be fooled by the grin.

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

That dog was trained to be aggressive towards male Leinster fans(loved Mo). That' s all I know.

And I'm not one to be spreadin' rumours.

Missed you MrsP.
Its just not quite the same without you.

Not surprised by that Lb. The breed is a terrier. Digging and killing things is their gig.

Roysh - really off to kip now.

TFIF tomorrow.

No! The dog survived ........

Gibbo the Lejnster team for Saturday has an air of experimentation about it. Hope Joe hasn't underestimated Connacht.

But did they send the dog for a rabies jab?



Ok, I'm gone....

Yes, this one had a penchant for snakes (red-belly blacks) and funnel webs. Very protective dogs with absolutely no fear whatsoever.

btw, a 17 y.o kid was bitten by a Taipan (world's deadliest snake... one drop can kill 100 people supposedly) and has survived.
The thing is, the snake was found west of Newcastle - not in it's usual habitat in the tropics. It was 1000km south of where it should have been. So, someone must have brought it down as a 'pet' or it hitched a ride in a wheel well or under the bonnet.

Rav, I'm wearing that ting for you darlin. You know. The one you bought and told me to wear? Just remember me at exactly 00:15 Clog Time.

P.S. PJ has no idea its goin on . Say nowt. Let's keep this very manly menage-a-trios spicey.

Evening all. Mental day at work today, and then played 2 netball games tonight, including half the 1st one at centre. I'll barely be able to stand in the morning.

On the plus side, here's last night's podcast: http://www.v2journal.com/the-breakdown-v2-rugby-podcast-26-september-2012.html

I'll note that after the ribbing the lads gave me about Tasman's prospects Waikato needed a late try to beat the Makos by a point this morning.

Mums the word you sheshey Cloggy hunk
BTW I hope you washed de ting after the last time

Watched that game Kiwi.

Waikato looked to be in control early but Tasman have played very well this season and just keep on going and are an attractive side to watch. They ground their way back and then took the lead only to be pipped at the end as you say.

Auckland - Counties local derby on this afternoon... then some cricket afterwards.

Morning all, hope that everyone is well. & on the go

Morning As and all.

Just watching that Being Liverpool documentary off Channel 5, where it goes behind the scenes of the Football Club. Seems ok.

Gonna be a cold one at RP tonight.

Morning all. Lots of coffee please, it appears my lungs still don't like too much exercise in cool weather, so there was a lot of coughing last night.

Horrible though isn't it Kiwi. I am not looking forward to rugby training when the real winter kicks in. I have to do a bit of sleeping under canvas for work training, in Nov and Dec too

Bore da pawb / good morning all, it's Friday and the Dragons are playing tonight!

Stag, one thing you can do to prepare yourself for the arrival of the dog is to stop calling him or her 'it'.

That's Some Awful Stuff Rev

Morning As, Rev, Lucky, Pete and any lurkers

Wishing Europe well in the Ryder Cup.
There's a lot of sport on this weekend. ITM is on soon, then T20 WC cricket, Currie Cup rugby, 2 x Grand Finals, more rugby, more cricket, RC matches. I'll be glad when it's all over.

It's going to be cold & miserable in Melbourne (possibility of snow on the Dandenongs) and wild winds of the Antarctic variety.

Go The Swans.
(or The Bloods - from the original South Melbourne club)

I think Hawthorn will win but I really hope I'm wrong.
The Swans are the best scramblers and most effective at clearing the ball out to set up some big name forwards.
Plus we have Jetta and the Canadian guy, Mike Pyke. They just have to win the contests, control possession and stop Buddy Franklin & Co.

Sydney was blydi hot today. 31 deg C (but it felt like 39... or 49 in the car for a few minutes until the A/C kicked in). Should be high teens on Sunday night so perfect for footy.

I'm going for the Bulldogs - nothing against them and I prefer them to many other teams in Sydney. They are a great team to watch but so are Melbourne. The Storm only have one player born in Victoria... they are mostly all Queenslanders.

Morning All. I'll have a please.

So you still haven't gotten rid of the cough completely Pete?

Well if you don't dress appropriately, you have only yourself to blame.

Morning Breaker

Thanks for the wishes mate. Europe will need all the support they can get.

I'd hate to get snow on my dandenongs!!

Nowt wrong with the Queenslanders

The Chinese call whooping cough the 100-day cough . It's been improving but a ways to go.

I forget the aboriginal meaning of the name... something to do with "a good place to plant potato roots" or something.

Have you tried filling a bucket of warm-hot water, adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil (or that Moa Oil if you've got it) and deeply inhaling it with a towel over your head. 3 times a day?

Breaker, is it true that the meaning of the word kangaroo in the original language is 'I don't understand'?

Afon is Welsh for river

Roman : "Brittannie, quo that called?"

Ancient Britton : Afon y sledge, agor dy blydi lygaid..."

Hence loads of instances of the river Avon.

I'm pretty sure budgerigar means 'good to eat'.
