The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Oxford

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 Oxford and the only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Seve Ballesteros, Andy Fenby, Nick Williams,Tim Visser, Adam Ashley Cooper and Paul Lawrie up on the wall.

According to Wiki JOC Wasn't part of either team that won the final, but he surely played for them at that stage.

Both Thomas and Trevor Brennan played in the 2005 Final.

Eric Peters (Scotland) was a replacement for Bath when they won in 1998. Their team contained Ieuan Evans and Nathan Thomas of Wales and their skipper was Andy Nichol of Scotland.

O'Connor was injured I think. Didn't he have a bad clash of heads with Jennings, ended up with a neck injury I think. He was first choice Ireland no7 at the time.

I'd forgotten all about Eric Peters. He was a good player.

Wasn't that the bloke who used to present that kids show with Gordon the gopher?

Ha that's Andy Peters, but twas Philip schofield with Gordon.

Andy had ed the duck.

Back when kids tv was good!

No, Andy Crane had Edd the Duck!

My word what a conversation I've just stumbled upon in here, what is this pub serving? Anything non-legal

Mick,


Horse show house pre game Saturday???

Who on earth is Andy Crane?!

Deffo Andy Peters although he did then move on to Ottis the Aadvark.

Maybe there was a cross over point?

Afternoon Scotty, I would say this pub has everything

Rods, I recall JOC being Ireland's starting 7 only in 2006, which is the year Munster won. Was he also starting back in 04?

No I think he broke though for Ireland autumn 2005 or was it 2006.... hmm....one of us is a liar here and its likely me..... .....

Whats happening in one hour dreamer?

Hasn't JOC lost a heap of weight since his Wasps days. He looks much fitter now.

I'm sure JOC played in that game in Twickenham against england with shaggy in the corner.he came on a bloody sub for easterby I think

But he defo came on as a blood sub

Picking up our new dog stag, just waiting for my Mam to pick me up now

He was only the duke of all children's TV! That's not true, he was okay but he was no Pat Sharp.

Good to 'see' you back, Scotty!

Irish regs, did you see the junior cert is being phased out.

Stag - we've settled on Amber at the moment, but could v likely change

Ja Hugs, but Mijneer Murray has skirt-pleats to iron. There's no trouser-press that does pleats. Everyone knows that. Silly

Puppy update: she's absolutely gorgeous! Slept in the 10min car journey home, running about the three rooms now and is already devouring her toys.

Name dilemma, Amber suits her but my Dad took one look at her and said she looks like a Foxy.

decisions, decisions........

Will try and get pics up on fbook later if I can.

Everyone in the house just has a big on their faces.

Just call her Dilemma, because that's what she is, which in turn will get shortened to Dil

ha what, instead of Emma?

nah, Amber or Foxy, she's deffo one of those. Cheers for the suggestion though.

She is now layed out on the floor under the table with her head on my foot, fast asleep

Evening pub

Looking forward to seeing the pics Dreamer, have a fab evening

Chocolate cake made, time to make the ganache, my favourite bit! Love the smell of melting chocolate

My last day at my placement tomorrow. Hurrah! Ready to move on now. And a night out with girls to look forward to tomorrow evening.

ah girls nights out are nearly always the best Swanny! Enjoy it

Righty, need to get writing some articles...

Have lovely evenings all


(p.s. I had totally forgotten how smelly dogs can get when they are damp!)

Puppy eh? Well enjoy the wee, poo, chewed...everything. Trashed garden, more wee and poo, more chewed stuff and the constant picking up of....poo.

Worth every minute of it.
I love that wet dog smell. Thrilled for you Dreamer. Like either of those names.

Off to the airport to pick up brother in a short while. Got woken an hour earlier than expected by what sounded like possums rooting.
Horrible noise... like a pair of asthmatics having a 'disagreement'. They've stopped now. Just beautiful bird noises as I type.

Nice one on the dreamer.

Re Jonny O.

http://www.wasps.co.uk/playerdisplaySS.ink?playertype=P&seasonl=2006/2007&squadno=6368

Unfortunately no HC medal for Jonny.

He returned to Connacht in early 2007, partly because he was homesick, but there was also Ton Rees who had become first choice 7.

After suffering a nasty looking neck injury in the 1st minute of the Powergen final in 2006 against Scarlets in a tackle by Alex Popham (no blame attributed), Jonny O returned from hospital treatment to join the post match party at The Orange Tree in Richmond in a neck brace. I had a chat with him and Eoin Reddan.

He was last spotted at about 2am on a N65 bus heading home to Ealing.

Legend.

I thought it was in the head clash with Simon Easterby? they were stretchered off the same time, no?

And she's still fast asleep! debating whether to wake her up soon, else she'll be wide awake all night!

The cat is not amused.

Ah now I remember it was Easterbuy that injured him in the tackle wasn't it? I said Jennings earlier but it was the Scarlets game. Are you sure it was Popham?

Aah, the joys of being a caring Mother. Happy for ya pal.

rodders/dreamer - Popham was definitely in the tackle (distinctive blonde locks tied up on top), and Easterby was thereabouts too. It happened right below us.

Shoite final though. Enlivened my the two mascots having a pretend 'set to'.
