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.

One of our servers is down, so my deadline for this afternoon has gone out the window.

And Ozzy and Asbo have been mocking me (and Lurky) on Twitter . I ask you, what's wrong with picking a team to support in another competition, it keeps it interesting. Admittedly having more than one ...

However on the plus side the new partner launch we've been working on has smashed its targets for week 1, so the boss has given us all

And As, I have a bottle of Balvenie for the train


Roll on Exeter.

May suggest we keep that for when we get there and I'll stock us up with some for the train.

Anyhew, I'm sure you suggested that you supported Tasman and Canterbury in the ITM?!

Well that's no surprise really. After all we have all known for some time that Asbo is an enormous TWITTERER!

Good call on the

Tasman were in the ITM Championship semi-finals, Canterbury are in an ITM Premiership semi-final tonight. It's a bit like supporting the Chiefs and London Scottish honest


(we won't talk about the fact that the ITM includes some games between Prem and Champ sides )

I'm impressed, I just checked the v2rugby Twitter account and the Honduras RFU started following us last week. Prize for obscurity?

I'd say it was more to do with you saying that you'll get on twitter now you're avoiding Mrs P

Nah, I got the wrong one!

Done and 1st tweet done!!

WTF is going on?!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-20009426

That's all happening near where I live! Heard about something happening when I was on the bus home.

Evening all by the way.

Tweetin is cheatin. And is for big girls blouses. #windup

Have a great weekend y'all. May your teams do ye proud.

Mine already has gibbo!!

That's mental Cari...I was around those areas only a couple of hours ago...NO IT WASN'T ME!! Scary stuff though.

Lucky you Prop. Sounds like some dude went bezerk. Scary stuff indeed. Apparently the Heath has had to close their A & E to cope with the casualties. My bro's missus was on about it on Facebook (they live in Ely). Couldn't believe it!

Gibbo - Yeah I hope Ulster and the O's do well!

This is horrible to read...I literally decided at last minute to change my route to town from Ely and didn't go down the road at the time all of this was happening therefore missed it all. Sobers you up a bit.

That sounds terrible Cari.

I texted you this morning and thought you were either at work or still feeling too rotten to answer.

Just discovered a few minutes ago that the stupid thing didn't send! So if you get a strange, out or time sequence text just ignore it!

Just saw that you got it!

Re. the hit and run guy in Wales;

It just seems like there's been a real spate of violent maniacs in the news lately. Whats causing people to go off the deep end, or is this the normal level of hateful violence we have to deal with in our society?

Must be something that made him snap....just texting my y.p to check that they are ok...got a few in Ely

Are they all ok Prop?

Yeah thankfully, off to g.day now

Cari, I hope the headaches have disappeared and you are all ready to cheer Tommy to a brace of tries in Glasgow

First thing I did was contact my bro's to see if they and their families are all right. They all live around Grand Ave.

Notch - I wonder how much stuff like this is fall out from poor social policy with mental health care? Many people with serious mental health conditions are expected to get themselves diagnosed, manage their illness and live some sort of normal life within a community with little or no assistance where it's needed. Did anyone see this:

Brilliant documentary, and an eye opener.

There's no doubt we are light years behind where we need to be in terms of mental illness provision in this country, but most people who treatment and aren't getting it would be no more likely to do something like this than any 'normal' person. Wonder why people snap and do terrible things like this.

Evening honorary Ulsterman. I'm standing up for PJ

Peej! <clarkspie>

Right, Tommy Two Tries is coming out to play....I can feel it in my loins

Rava wrote:I like the training jerseys!!

They're alright aye. Only a brace though? I am watching you goys. SUFTUM

Good man Rev. No need for you to stand though. Already fecin big enough ya bollix. Stand And Shout

Blydi hell, that's insane Cari.

Why is it that people do this shoite? I'm betting he's suffered a traumatic event in his life, but you don't take it out on innocent people.

Notch - I would imagine someone who does do something like that is mentally unstable, and perhaps they have been for some time. Maybe some sort of flashpoint triggers it or they just reach the end of their tether.

By the way I'm in the dining room on the laptop with one of Thomond's links while my missus hogs the TV in the lounge where I have Sky TV all channels for £85 a month. C'est la vie as they say. Or in the words of Del Boy - Mange out, Mange Tout

WOOOOOOO I'm so excited!!!

Rava - welcome to my world - expcept I don't have Sky....

Awww My Boy!

Mon Ullllllssssssstttttttteeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr!!

Tommy saves the day there. One good thing about bad weather matches....My Boy looks luuuurvely

All that's missing is the soap-on-a-rope Cari

Aye, it's a Scottish monsoon there.

Evenin' all, just setting down with a glass of Old Peculier to watch the rugby. <ish>


Great scrum from Glasgow then.

Evening Lucky - Old Peculiar? You couldn't get anymore peculiar...

Evening Lucky. Like your tipple mate

Theakston's isn't it Lucky?

Rav, that's a lot of dollar for one box!!

I pay £75 per month for three subscriptions with everything except the movies, got Sky Sports and ESPN for that much.

I'll be watching the second half in the young un's bedroom once the gaffer comes back.

SUFTUM

It's a lovely drop, Rava.

Sorry Cari, did you say something?
