The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Colwyn Bay

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 Colwyn Bay, where the Tier 2 AIs are currently taking place.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Bob Scott and Malele Kunavore above the bar.

I'm really happy about it, Breaker. She gets excited when she meets people because she's a puppy. 10 minutes or so and she's calmed down.

I'd forgotten all about the cricket until this morning when I heard we'd won the second Test!

I was fairly busy today but was sort of preoccupied with the Adelaide test in between running around (it was an amazingly tough stand from Faf du Plessis to see out the draw) then suddenly realised at about 4pm here that the England-India test was on... so I quickly switched over thinking I would see it all unfold but it was already over.

I just managed to see KP accepting the MoM award. Well done England - sets up the final two matches in that series as well.

Glas, you certainly caused a 'stir' but I really enjoy reading your article.

Personally, I can empathise with you on most of those points you made (except for the Haka bit but I know what you mean... long story!) and I was more surprised with the emotional over-reactions it received. You took the hard line and said what you felt should be said - which was very brave; (we've been doing that for years, on and off... and look at the flak we cop!) - but it is an opinion piece after all. You are entitled to give your views and I think the whole thing was blown way out of proportion.

"tabloid journalism".... tutt bloody tutt!

Which article is this?

Just a stir? The man had the rugby forum in uproar

Didnt mind the article myself, didnt agree with it but it was well open for debate. I like things that generate debates

Yeah, exactly mate.

He's certainly shown his hand but Glas deserves full marks for having the balls to put it out there to discuss.

https://www.606v2.com/t37686-men-of-honour ... but don't know if it's the watered-down version? The original has been archived.

I thought it was over the top but certainly generated some debate. For that alone it was worth the read.

Glas was also open to accept other views, saw no real problem with it myself.

By the way, we are not Mods so cant see that link

Boo, I can't read any of the replies!

Stop yer stirring billser.....

PMs for Lucky and Mr Culchie...

Thanks, Breaker.

No worries mate. Don't know why it copied twice??

Off to bed now. Big day ahead tomorrow; Tender deadline for me 3pm Wed, 4am Wed your time.

Best of British Aussie luck with that!

Have to say there guys....watching Craig Gilroy scythe through the Pumas defence and then watching ricky hatton end his career doubled up on the canvas on Saturday really left me with contrasting emotions.... there's no subsitute for youth and old father time waits on no man .....

...feic this cold weather makes my joints ache man.....

Evening All.

Awh don't you just wanna give him a cwtch? Poor dab
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/20488433

Hope everyone's had a good day. Mine's wizzed by as per usual.

Ahhhhhh!

No runs to do tonight.

So I can enjoy a wee glass of Chablis with my tea!

When I say "tea" I do of course mean Dinner, not

That would be horrible.

Evening Cari!

Evening ladies,

Enjoy your Chablis MrsP! Good choice may I say

Got an email from my recruitment agency today. The lady who's been finding me work for the last year is leaving next Wednesday. I had no idea she was moving on, it's fair knocked me duck off

Evening Ladydeez (and Gibbo if he's lurking)

Awh that's a shame Swanny. Will they replace her? I hope it's someone just as lovely and helpful.

Apparently they are recruiting Cari, and a lady who already works there is covering until they get someone new. I'm sure it'll be fine it's just a shame, I'd built up a good relationship with Chloe.

How's things at your place? Got a shock when I saw your FB post that you've been there a year

Evening all, good hour in the gym and now off to st johns...all go here! Can't wait for our match on Friday, been too long since I played, too used to playing each weekend now!!

Yeah a whole year...it's gone so quick. Just been super busy there which is good.

Littlest P is doing card tricks.

The trick works like this.

You are told to pick a card. You are only allowed to pick the card indicated by littlest P.

You have to show littlest P the card you "picked".

You replace the card precisely where littlest P tells you.

You have to close your eyes.

Low and behold Littlest P somehow manages to locate exactly the card you picked from the pack of 4 cards available!

Rapportous applause ensues.


Repeat as many times as any mother could reasonably be expected to tolerate.

Repeat again just as many times.

Ahhh the journey of discovery is such a rich one at the tender age.

Evening ladies, and Prop.

Glas knows how to drop a grenade, fair play to him, what a corker, my only reservation about the whole weekend, is that a bit of plonker blindsiding another player appears to have resulted in Biltong doing one.

I hope he's just off to cool down.

Mind you.

Littlest P's magic tricks are more logical and balanced than some of the posters on some of the threads in here just now.



"Hey Littlest P. Mummy is fed up of infantile displays of nonsense so show me trick again to cheer me up please!!!!!"

You do make me titter MrsP.

That's one of the nicest things anyone has said to me today O'PJ!

Well I've just learnt that: is a male has a severe spinal injury they are more than likely to be rather excited in one area and that's an indicator of the injury....who'd have thunk it!

How did you learn this thing then Prop?

Oh, ooooooooooooon the other hand, I'm good.

I'm going to change my username to O'PJHolybloke for the duration of Ulster's season, May 2013.

Right till the end of May I hope O'PJ?

I could launch into an explanation of spinal reflexes and decorticate responses to explain Prop's dicovery but you wont want to hear that so....

Cari,

Just heard an interview with wee CraigyG.

He was rooming with OUR Tommy last week and they got Tommy to present him with his jersey that morning.

Flip things must have been bad last night on here .....even awop and morg have buried the hatchet!

They should give Biltong a nobel peace prize!

In the back of each other's heads??????

No its true! Its a total love in out there!

I give it 24 hours, tops!

Hello all. The 'please behave' thread was interesting.

Which reminds me that my hallway needs decorticating...

Evening all!

I havn't popped in for ages , so hope everyone is well.

Cup of tea and Xmas music on the juke box please

I was indeed Hound.

Some things said that needed said but unfortunately it was all aimed at Bilt which was neither good nor deserved. I wish he had made his plea as an announcement instead of a thread which would have removed the opportunity for some to vent their understandable frustrations at Bilt instead of at the forum as a whole.

I really really hope Bilt sees it as that and not as a personal attack. I really don't think many, if any wanted that.

Evening Driver,

Here's your but the Christmas music is down to you My mum's next door neighbours put their Christmas tree up yesterday. I had a moment!

Love Xmas music! , Pogues and Kirsty McCall sums up Xmas for me. Such a warm song.
