The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Jersey

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 the island of Jersey, where the newly promoted hme side is off the bottom of the Championship.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Glen Jackson, Dan Parks and Matt Banahan above the bar.

It depends on the prop.

I'd look fabulous dahrlink...

No, not in a grass skirt. A basque, on the other hand...

Carolita, come here...

Mind you those Catalans, phew!

Catalan sausage is delicious.

*gulp* erm...phew...

Guess what I've just driven 2 hours to help Rebecca (my little sister) move house. Torrential downpours of rain on the way like monsoon style rain with rivers flowing across the road. On the off chance anyone is planning a trip on the a75 today, DON'T. It's currently under about 3ft of water so I've no idea how I'll make the boat home. I negotiate Dumfries's obscure one way system to arrive at her house that I've only been to once before and........

..... she's not here....

Have you looked round the back Will?

Off down to london this evening (going to the harry potter thing tomorrow for mrsprop's b.day present....she doesn't know), anyone know of anywhere good in Hatfield?

Nope. The best thing to do with Hatfield is drive straight through the tunnel on the A1 and keep going.


The place is devoid of character (unless you're passionate about roundabouts). Far better to head over to St. Albans where there are good pubs aplenty.

Wooo....Motley Crue on the radio. This is waking me up!!

Better later than never - GUIDE

Ok sounds fun then!! Wonder how much a taxi would be.....bearing in mind I want to drink too!! Guess we could stick to the hotel bar/buy beer for the room!!

Prop - the best I can do for you.

Hatfield pubs

I know some lads who worked for T-Mobile in Hatfield used to go to the Airfield, but I think that's out by the business park.

Pob luc.

Cheers fella!!! I'll ask at the desk too.....seems like we're staying about 2miles outside of hatfield by the a1 m.......so it's close to The Harrier so may try that one!!

Prop - Hatfield, Stevenage and Welwyn GC are similar. All Hertfordshire 'new towns' of a similar size developed after the war, and pubs are few and far between. Welwyn GC has just 13 pubs, whereas St Albans, also of a similar size, has over 60.

Really excited about Bath tomorrow. Can't wait to get amongst the cider.

Also going to do a Rememberance Parade on Sunday, though I'll be hungover. Was ashamed with myself that I didn't go two years ago (last year I went in Bastion).

Living the dream !! WiFi in The Bush Inn. Warsteiner in hand

A fine establishment Penfro (hic).


Any Purple Moose on?

Nah. Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger and Felinfoel Cambrian

Ah, Nun's Delight and Feelingfoul. Not a fan of either brewery tbh.

Enjoy your evening bud.

As you might have guessed, I haven't made my way to the 'Diff for Bloos v Wasps in the LV tonight.

I think me and the wife tried those positions once. I pulled a hamstring. It was just another in a string of disappointments for her.

Try Marstons Owd Rodger, or Dark Side of the Moose.

Hooky -

- they'll only be on for a short while. The guest ale's change frequently

Da da da da da daaaaa da da da daaaa Evening Pub Pickers

TFI Friday!!! Can't wait for the matches tomorrow. I hope they'll be corkers.

...and that Tommy scores on his 50th cap appearance.

Woss news?

Coooommmme onnnnnn youuuuuuuuu Ooooooooo's!!

PEEEEEEEEEEJ!!!

Is the match on telly anywhere? Not here it's not. I thought S4C might've showed it, but noooo

OK panic over...I've found streams linkies...

Tis on Sky babe, Davies is being interviewed as I type.

The O's MUST smash the knuckle-draggers!

It is destiny.

I hope they can! (Sorry Prop!). I know it's only the Luther Vandross, but a win's a win...

Morgs kicks the penalty wide. Conditions are schitt again in Swansea...it's wazzing down.

You can't really see the rain on the TV Cari, but it must be bad cause the entire crowd is still inside at the bars...

Ah maybe it's the stream then Well it's raining in Cardiff!

3-3 after ten minutes.

They did say it was clattering down before kick-off to be fair.

Morgan has Burns scurrying and wins some yardage and then a daft penalty brings it all the way back.

It's just like watching Bath.

Peej - are the O's trying to play the English way?

Drop goal! 6-6 after Morgs kicks a decent drop goal.

Cari wrote:Peej - are the O's trying to play the English way?

Don't know about that Cari, but at 6-13 down to Glaws, it so like watching Bath I'm wondering where I'm going tomorrow.

Ah Morgan in for another DG.

C'mon the O's.

I thought it was a game of two flyhalves until the Glaws try.

O's scrums are schitt, but Morgs is playing a stormer. Third drop goal attempt missed, but he's just kicked another penalty.

12-13 after 35 minutes.

Evening all

Just in from work and switched the tv on. O's v Glaws looks like a tight affair!

Evening Oz. Both sides have been pretty even to be honest, despite the Glaws try. O's managed to stay just one point down despite having King in the bin. Both flyhalves kicking very well. The O's scrum is in trouble, mind. The front three replacements are only 18!!! I hope they don't have to come on.

I'm nearly 10 years older than the pair of 'em put together, both having good games, but I'm liking the look of Morgan, he looks like he's had the extra 2 years experience to be honest.

King's back on and only a one point swing during the binning, come on Ospreylia

Evening Ozzy, surround this with yourself

C'mon Morgan, come to daddy.

Get over!

Peej - he's doing really well. Morgs is a star of the future I reckon. According to the commentator he can sidestep anyone in a phonebox...that's a useful skill I suppose.

Cheers Cari and PJ

Youth teams playing tonight is it then? I know I am getting old when there are international players now and I am old enough to be the father.

Put my house up for sale yesterday. Got to touch up some paintwork tomorrow before they come and photograph it on Wednesday. Fortunately most of the work that needs doing is in the lounge so I won't miss the internationals on the box!

15 - 13 at the half.

Just switched over to watch bit of Murray v Tsonga. According to the person in Penfro Towers who has a degree, the early stages of the tennis are being played on a "red robin basis"

Oz - yeah, a lot of youngster on both teams. Burns the Glaws kicker is 18 (and kicking very well) and Morgs is only a bab. It's like watching college rugby...

Are you moving Oz? Hope you get a decent price for your gaff. I'm not sure how well the housing market is doing at the moment.

I gather this game isn't the best? At least it is tight unlike a Bath 0-50 Dragons game

I'd say that would be considered an essential skill in a phone box, it's not as if you're going to get a pass away is it?

Considering Morgan is operating off the scraps from breakdowns and scrums that Glaws are getting the better of, he's doing an exceptional job.
