The Stratospheric Supersonic Dew Drop Inn, Roswell, New Mexico

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 "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.

That's a cracking story Hound. Sad the guy has had to retire but a least he has had a reasonably good career.

Hound how did Wasps get on last weekend in Europe. Who were you playing. Didnt see any coverage of it.

You are a bad bad person Stag

You are an embarrassment to your region

I dont have Sky Sports

Oh yeah, great story Hound

Both of Stags teams got beaten last weekend.

Hound, I know I have asked before but I think it was last season.

What has become of Ed O'Donaghue?

I know he went to Leinster and then to you guys on loan but where has he gone now, any idea?

Interesting read this, can kind if understand where he is coming from as well

I know I was very cranky.

It was a mix bag for Hughie. Half of his teams lost in the Heineken Cup this weekend but the other 12 teams he supports won!

Wow wow wow sweet child of mine.

Thats a bit uncalled for

I'm at Newforge for a seminar. Nearly feicin collided with Mr Ferris as he was leaving the carpark.

Hughie I think its definitely the right idea. Cheer on other teams and enjoy the craic with other fans.

Rava, are you going to Scotstoun this weekend?

If he can't play this weekend I'm blaming you!!!

Worked out quite handy, this Polish rain delay. Something to watch now. Good that the FA are refunding the tickets of the English fans. I hope they don't lose too much cash otherwise.

So it's a great idea to force energy companies to put you on their cheapest tariff? Is it? They'll get rid of their cheapest tariffs and everybody will be on whay was an average tariff and they'll be quids in...again

So... haven't been in here for a while... Hi!

Munsty!!!

Hows all with you??

FFS! Richard Burton wasn't in the Magnificent Seven!

AARGH!

Pointless.

Sorry Mrs P, i was working back there and had no time for here.

As far as I know he went back to Leinster. We took him on a short term loan last season to cover our extensive injury list.

Evening All.

Glas - confused it with Where Eagles Dare I expect...

Walking home earlier I saw a group of lads dressed in nothing but their pants, running around trees, drinking pints, running around trees again and being sick. I'm guessing that was some sort of sports team initiation...or students have found interesting ways of drinking...

Can't you get S4C in Ireland then? It was on there as well...

Stevo didn't play though so it wasn't really worth watching

Being the daihard Dragon he now is, he probably wasn't happy with the team we put out and didn't want to watch it.

Not a lot of Dragons fans were happy with the team reading the match thread.

I hope you can do yourselves (and us) a favour and beat Bayonne. It will be great if the game at Dave Parade is to decide the pool.

Id just like to see the guys have a little more pride in the Black and Amber

Stag, you're a wag. And a slag.

Shame he has to use the same gag. What a drag.

It won't happen. We are certain to lose in Bayonne. Interesting to see the majority of players dropped find themselves back in the squad again. Also disappointing to see Jack Dixon not in it, after scoring last weekend. Nothing surprises me with Edwards' selections though.

I think you'll find Joe Dixon scored last Saturday, Rev. Well, according to the BBC, anyway.

Yeah I saw you pick that up.

It's such a shame that we'll be going into this Saturday's game with the added pressure of having lost our opening game in the Amlin. It's true that we could have lost at Adams Park even with our first-choice XV out, but at least we'd have given it a proper tilt.* I can understand the thinking that we need to target our home games, but that doesn't mean we have to hamstring ourselves away.

* - N.B. I know Wasps had a few players out themselves.

I see your man Sisa Koyamaibole has been banned for 12 weeks for biting one of the LI players at the weekend.

The others hearings must be tomorrow?

Is that a long enough ban? I don't know the circumstances of the offence woth Koya.

Ah well, it's an early night for me.

Laters, and have a nice evening.

Targeting home games doesn't work for us though, as you know. Otherwise we'd probably have beaten the Blues after resting them v Leinster. Edwards must know he's under pressure, or he's more naive than I thought. He can't afford to just basically concede games.

I hope we win, but I am going to be unbelievably tense this weekend. It's bad enough now. Looks like I have to go away Sunday again too, so probably not going to get to drink

One for the wall.

Josiah Maiestas is a one man study in the world of campanology? How many ends can a bell have?

The Serbs are vile and did vile things in the name of "patriotism", things that no human being should be exposed to, let alone have to bear witness to on a daily basis whilst unable to do a thing about it.

Yet still they are allowed to perpetuate...

Surely it's time that the EU made a difference? Now that we've got the Nobel Peace Prize and all?

Morning all

Morning billy, it is lovely to see a real face in here rather than just a shadowy lurker

I'll shove the kettle on for & . And I'm feeling like some this morning

Bore da / good morning Billy, Asbo and any lurkers, shadowy or otherwise. I haven't had for ages, so I'll have some of those if I may - but can you make sure you break the yolks while they're being fried? Ta.

Morning all.

PJ, for your post on that Serbian racism thread I salute you sir.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Just saw this on another thread:
