The Stratospheric Supersonic Dew Drop Inn, Roswell, New Mexico

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Mon 15 Oct 2012, 9:39 am

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 "sleepy" Roswell New Mexico, take off point for the first ever supersonic free-fall this week.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Felix Baumgartner and Chris Budgen up on the wall.

Ale

Imagine the crater that would be left if Chris Budgen fell from 30 miles.

Sizeist!

The actual translation is tree-gardener. So a few forresters in his ancestry Wink

Morning again.

Rava was right by the way, it was lizzy.

Quiet in here today

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 15 Oct 2012, 10:41 am

It is.

Why the name change, Hughie / Hoog / Suspicious lurker?

by Suspicious lurker Mon 15 Oct 2012, 10:50 am

I've got Andrew Marr on my train

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 15 Oct 2012, 10:52 am

Strange reason for a name change...

by prop_lyd Mon 15 Oct 2012, 10:53 am

Ah yeah we had water in it for the 2nd glass. Not really sure what was all in it though, just that the French were insistent on buying us drinks Very Happy

Oh the name change, I was surrounded my three police men in gatwick airport Saturday morning, one with a sniffer dog, one with an automatic rifle as supposedly I was lurking around very suspiciously.

That's what happens when you wait for asbo. BE WARNED

Hmmm, and I'm supposed to be meeting him at Paddington station to get the train down to Devon on Friday Doh

When I was 18, a friend and I decided on a whim to go to Cork for the weekend. At the time I had longish hair and as we walked past security to board the ferry, all three security guards came over to me and asked if I knew the penalty for smuggling drugs.

Maybe it was the 'I heart

CRACK' t-shirt I was wearing.

The t-shirt bit is a lie, but the rest is true.

I believed it all, Lucky Very Happy

Except the longish hair bit Rolling Eyes

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 15 Oct 2012, 11:30 am

It wasn't long long, but my fringe was in my eyes. I looked quite the drongo.

We all looked a bit different in the past Lucky. Our local rag published some old photographs last week from 20 years ago. There's yer man with jet black hair and beard as part of the organizing committee for a darts tournament. I hardly recognised myself Wink

I'm picturing a young Rolf Harris... Wink

Around the same time I was made to empty my bags in Frankfurt because I looked a bit tanned or had been enjoying myself too much. Cool

... but in the main arrival hall in front of everyone? How embarrassing! Laugh

(it was about a year or two after Lockerbie so fair enough)

I usually slip from country to country without being harassed but a few times the guard has looked long and hard at the passport photo, especially in Germany for some reason. My Dad reckoned it was because I "looked like a gangster!" I was about Hughie's age.... Whistle

Not sure which one you were talking about.

Maybe it was the "I am the music man song"? I could see how thats a bit match of the day like.

by Guest Mon 15 Oct 2012, 1:09 pm

Mrs P,

Jamie Smith is still on the books, but I believe he's long term injured again.

Yep that's it. There's a verse where he can play match of the day.

It was indeed that. Very funny stuff

by MrsP Mon 15 Oct 2012, 2:22 pm

Why the new moniker Hughie?

I was a bit suspicious of the new lurker till I realised it was you!

Then I became REALLY suspicious!!!!

by Suspicious lurker Mon 15 Oct 2012, 2:24 pm

Also Leinster regs, how about a fancy dress for one of the games, maybe asm with it being around Christmas and all, could be a laugh

Due to Me being surrounded by police in gatwick as,I was "lurking and acting suspiciously"

Afternoon All mug

Something appropriate for the jukey:

Back home now, chilling out. Got stuck on a train for ages due to a signal failure. Felt sorry for the driver having to get out twice to press or button or whatever they have to do at the signal box. Everyone on the train was pretty relaxed about it though to be fair.

Hope everyone's well. I'm feeling much better myself. Just got a bit of a cough.

Just spotted a potential mascot for those off to Australia on tour next year

by MrsP Mon 15 Oct 2012, 5:22 pm

I am wondering what on earth you where searching for when you found that Kiwi!!!!

Shocked

Actually, maybe I'd rather not know!

It wasn't me searching, it was a colleague. And it was work related!

(my team have spent the last 2 months working flat out on getting the eBay account ready for launch. And we were trying to make sure the nice marketing model wasn't recommending truly stupid stuff to people.

Enjoy the game Prop. I would've taken you up on your offer of going...fortunately for you I am working tomorrow though, so up at five. Very Happy

by Glas a du Mon 15 Oct 2012, 8:51 pm

I was talking to myself Mrs P. Very Happy

by MrsP Mon 15 Oct 2012, 8:53 pm

I know the feeling Glas!

Whistle

How are you?

Hi Cari,

Sorry about the sore throat.

:honeyandlemon: mug

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Mon 15 Oct 2012, 9:03 pm

Evening all.

Just spotted a mate's FB status update from Friday night.

I know you shouldn't take shortcuts down side streets at night but who the ---- tries to mug a 6ft 4 120kg guy at 11pm? If anyone knows Jason Mark Hemana DOB 17/4/94 tell him he can pick up his wallet from my house or the Papanui police station after about 9.30 tomorrow. Losing your wallet to the guy you tried to rob is a major fail.
