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.

Could any writers popping in please take a look in the section? Most grateful.

Mawnin' Pub

Just had crumpets for breakfast. Nom!

Hope everyone's well.

Notch - what you said earlier about being unable to debate on the Ireland thread - it's the same with the Welsh ones. I gave up on them yonks ago. It's a shame really, because I'm not so knowledgable about rugby myself, I like reading some comments cause I might learn something.

Risca - hope today goes well for you.

One bright spot abut the weekend is I've called all the winners right so far on SuperBru- just need New Zealand to beat Scotland to get 6 out of 6. Rather less accurate with the margins though.

My word I must have been hammered last night. I really need to unbookmark 606v2, I get far to dangerous and disclose far too much when I've been drinking.

Looking forward to seeing Visser play for Scotland today.

Quiet in here today.

Just settling down to watch the Scotland v NZ game.

Hello I hope this is a good game.

I'm spoilt for choice today...what is it with me and 14s? Had Tommy yesterday and today I've got Visser and Jane to watch.

Afternoon all, settling down for the rugby at the missus play's on her d.s!!

H.p studios is pretty good and found a nice pub in chew magna last night but felt rough as a badger's today!!

I know I shouldn't given the rankings situation, but I would love Scotland to take a big scalp in the next two weeks. Even if it consigned us to the third tier of seedings for the next World Cup I can't bring myself to cheer against them. Sure if we play against Argentina like we did against South Africa we don't deserve to be in the Top Eight anyway.

Not that it matters today because I cannot foresee any other result than a NZ win.

Afternoon Prop.

Regardless of the rugby, Scotland home games always seem to provide a top atmosphere. Good man Visser singing Flower of Scotland!

Flower of Scotland followed by the haka can't go wrong!!

Yeah, like that little Scottish reply to the Haka. Nice jerseys on the Scots too.

All square 10-10.

10-27 in a matter of minutes.

Great try from N.Z! Theya re struggling a bit at k.o though.

17-34 at HT. Good tries from Scotland, but NZ have been superb as usual. They've shown some great skill.

I didn't think Scotland deserved to have 50 put on them, but some of the NZ handling was superb. The Scottish front 5 were excellent.

There was a good mix in the pub for the game.

If Scotland play like that against the saffers they could have a chance. Just please don't bruise our Ruan in the process.

Soooooo....

WillyG.....

When's the Wedding?

It's oh so quiet shh, shh...

Evening pub.

I really thought I was beyond the waking up and face-palming myself, apparently not, I made a complete knob of myself yesterday.

I think this constitutes a mid-life crisis.

PJ, brothers in arms. You are not alone.

Mainly because we want to see what you might do next...

It couldn't have been that bad surely?

for Willy.

Ta Glas, it's nice to know you're there.

I may need representation if I carry on like this, do you know anyone out this way?

MrsP, it appears that I'm becoming massively intolerant of certain things all of a sudden (all of a sudden when I've had a drink, that is.), I'm not one for buying or reading newspapers, but I wouldn't be surprised if I were to wake up in a shop doorway clutching a copy of the Daily Mail one of these days.

It's bad enough.

Gotta love a bit of Andre Rieu on a Sunday night...........so much better than x-factor!!

Ah ha!

Those prejudices have always been there. It's just that, with age, you are losing the ability to disguise them as well!

You see, grumpy old men, which is what you are telling me you have become, were actually grumpy young men who thought that no one would like them if they showed their true character. This lead them to try to keep all that intolerance under a thin veneer of social acceptability. The vineer has eventually worn off revealing your true self.

Just rejoice in the freedom this brings.

I'm never grumpy MrsP just don't ask how all the team's I support got on this weekend

Give it time Prop.

Give it time!

Interesting. Just as you come out of the closet as an Ulster fan you become intolerant of other people? I think thats the zeal of the convert for ya. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm proud of you.

H&H,

Don't you go tarring all us Ulster fans with the one brush!!!!

Just because you haven't managed to hide your intolerances for quite so long as PJ doesn't mean that we are all like that!

Is it really only 2000 hrs? Was up at the village war memorial for the 1500 service, was tempted to join up with my fellows in the pub, now pretty much pi$$ed.

That's actually and genuinely funny double H. You're not Ummm are you?

The really scary thing right now though, is not what a prat I made of myself yesterday, but that MrsP seems to have nailed me down to ground. That's proper scary.

I just calls it as I sees it!

I had to read that twice!!

Right, need to sit down to watch Romanzo Criminale. Lucky, something tells me that you have been absorbing the verbal ambience: Anda, fa culo!! (no offence, like)

For the love of God woman, surely you can't see me?!

I'm a little concerned for you safety PJ!!

Nah!

Ol Grumpy Drawers there has nothing to fear.

Ol Grumpy Drawers? Yeah, fair enough as it happens.

Prop, if anything happens to me - you know what to do.

I had a chat with the gaffer this afternoon, and she said it's been noticeable over the last 6 months, I thought it had only been 6 weeks - since I gave up smoking - so that was a bit of a shocker.

Anyhoo, the little sh!t deserved it, probably.

What on earth did you do?

Seriously though. You say you don't like the way you act when you've had a few? Would having a few less help?

I will of course be watching....

Aye....i'll take the £10 quid you'll owe me by May

Ah ha, physically intolerant.

Where did it happen PJ? I may know somebody.

When's the Wedding?

Can I just clarify that my words last night (which I have little recolection of posting), are not to be taken seriously.

I did not propose mum.
Nor did I properly technically pull said fair maiden.

I need to cut back on the alcohol.

Yup. And the imagination Willy.

Evening pubbers. Tired as a newt here.



Must stop watching all this rugby in the pub.

Sorry, I need to vent...



Thank you, goodnight.

That's OK LSG...


...mind you don't wind PJ up though
