The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Taihape

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 Taihape - The Gumboot Capital of the World!

http://www.taihape.co.nz/

We also welcome our newest member, Amber ...who no doubt will have an interest in those boots!

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Aaron Smith, Topsy Ojo, Jason Shoemark, Tom Rees, Gonzalo Garcia, Leo the Leinster Lion and Lalakai Foketi up on the wall.

I'd think twice if I were you, Stag. They'll take you for a masochist and punch you.

Is Rev a masochist? A dragons fan who visits dangerous war zones and sports THAT haircut?

Im not sure how they'll react to hearing my new love of the Dragons. Its kind of like when some inner city Limerick type tells you that their 17 year old daughter is pregnant. You feel sorry for them even though they are happy with the situation.

I've always wanted to give someone news and witness the emotional struggle. Telling people I like the Dragons will do that.

You could always tell N you're gay? I'd believe it.

Sure we all think that, just didn't want to say it

Merci Monsouir Mick.

To be honest N thinks Im like Ross from Friends which I maintain cannot be a compliment.

Moe from the Simpsons describes him as “good looking in an ugly kind of way”…

PM for Gibbo, Glas a Hoog.

True that

Apple crumble in the oven.....2 young people into work and 1 should be accepted tomorrow......pretty good start to the week....oh and going over friends for lamb tonight!!

Bon soir pub, anyone lurking?

On the player front, I've spoken to quite a few Wasps players, all of them gents. Dave Walder was the best though; he was the players' supporters rep and loved nothing more than sharing a few beers with the fans after a game. Especially Euro away games.

I've been on several player's curry nights during their testimonial seasons, or when they are leaving/retiring. Ibanez's was legendary

And I can recommend the Tricky to wash it down, but only a thimbleful for Prop, don't want him being

Ah I never threw up from it!! I'll have to have a rematch with that and not drink other beers as I'm doing it this time!!

Just remember the old adage prop.

Beer on cider is quite a good rider, but cider on beer will make you feel queer.

Personally, cider wrecks me. Not only the strength, but the acidity of it.

PM for Dreamer.

Already read and replied to mun


Woop got to get my euros sorted out tomorrow!

What's the plan?

Of course! You are heading down to Clermont Ferrand this weekend. Its brilliant. Possibly the best away trip you can get pal.
Hope you have a blast with their fans. They are incredible.

Speaking to Glas now...

I had no idea who you were first time! Having a meal in a Table Table in Oswestry when you rang. That was the shortest five minutes ever...still had chips left.

Right, come to Parc and Shovey and I will sort it from there. Tidy.

So were sorted then??


Me and Gibbo will get the 07:45 from paddington to Llanelli gets in about 11:15.

Glad everything is sorted now!

Gibbo a Glas, diolch for replying. Hoog, you're still being rude (because, quite clearly, I am the height of manners )


Gibbo - yep, flying out there on Friday, going with and meeting up with a bunch of crazy Scarlets fans, and my brawd wrth cwrs, tis going to be just a little bit epic I'm a thinking.

I replied so everyone could see it

via PM? no you didn't.

Anyhoo, just glad we've a plan sorted, spigging can't wait for it, my dad and my brawd are coming now too and I haven't been to a match with the two of them for aaaages now, tis going to be ace


Love this time of the year, even better when there are friends down to enjoy it

No in public.

:sigh:

ah wait, forget all things rugby, Mamma Mia is on tv!

Right

Hughie and Gibbo meet with Corcoran clan, me and Eifs and possibly Aled Griff in PYS.

Go to Barn for drinks

Watch match

Barn for more drinks

Work our way back to Llandeilo for the night. Hughie and Gibbo crash out in mine.

I'll take you to meet your train on Sunday morning.

Heino time!!!

Ah sure you can't beat the first round of the Amlin Challenge Cup for excitement!!!

Woss that then?

#disgruntledwasp

Only kidding. I love the places we go to in the Amlin.

Mogliano...ooh ooh oh oh!

Mogliano....ooh ooh oh oh!

Where the feic's Mogliano???



It will take another season at least before we can qualify for the HC, let alone think of winning it again.

ah but with Stevo at the helm, you'll get there Hound

In all fairness I really like the Amlin, you can get some cracking games in it. Will be keeping my eye on it, will be the best shot Scarlets have in europe as there's no way in hell we're making it out of our group. Our new forwards signings just haven't arrived in time to give us a full on chance. Next season though.....

Aye a rural Welsh pub sounds good to me.

Best stop referring to it as Klingon

Hound and dreamer

We don't even have the bonus of going to countries you don't go to in the Heino as we've drawn 2 French sides and Gloucester. I can't really muster the enthusiasm for an additional two games against the cherry and whites!!!

Ah ozzy, now you know how I feel about the games against Leinster

Literally just picked up the wrong phone today to receive a return bleep and got verbally abused by a female patient I'd neither met nor been involved in the treatment of at any level. Fun fun fun

Clermont Ferrand looks like a grand spot, my HC Journey has consisted of Dublin, Coventry, Cardiff, Limerick (clutching at straws) and I think that is it.


Haven't travelled too much for rugby to be honest.


How are we all?


Saw today's convo on meetings with rugby players, most are bang on, remember a few years ago I went to watch a Munster as it was close to where my dad worked, not many there but an injured POC was going around talking to everyone nice touch. ROG is a bit of a grumpy feicer at times, he would be plagued around Cork and Ireland though so a bit understandable. None of the sport stars or celebs I have met have been tools. Roy Keane was one of the soundest people out there despite wht people would think. James Hook a nice lad too. There's a thread on which celebrities you have met in the off topic section. Mine stretched fairly long............ (come on now you would be expecting a bit of arrogance from a Cork fella)


My sister met Ryan Tubridy today who hosts the Late Late Show, who was opening something in the School. Might be in the paper tomorrow so that's nice.

Langers knocked off my mother's wing mirror though, some scuts out there in the world.

CJ - have yourself a my friend.

T - I've not travelled all that much with the Scarlets either. This will be my first Scarlets away game outside of Wales

Is that the new Italian Restaurant down Ealing Broadway?

Where have I gone??


Not actually that many places, but it seems like much more because I have to travel to "home" games.

Shovey/Glas, Know anything about Jack Roberts, a young centre/flyhalf from Llandovery? - rumoured in the Western Fail that the Chiefs are looking at him

I went to Paris when Ulster were playing in blydi Belguim

Might be Rava. All I know is I'll be eating and drinking there in two weekends time.

Mass PM sent out for those with HC Links, if you haven't got it and/or want it drop us a line.

He's a cracking young lad, Lyndon mentioned him as one to watch in my interview with him last week, plays predominantly as a centre (or at least he has this season). Had heard rumours that Chiefs were sniffing around about him, mitts off I say!

Sure they moved the game back to Paris especially for you!
