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.

24 years I've been living next door to Alice....wonder if I'm the only one currently shouting the obscenities back at the radio!! Good group singalong one!!

Nope, me too Prop.

Good man PJ....sounds better west country!

I didn't have you down for a radio 2 listener Prop, it's one for us oldies, I thought you'd be dialled in to Radio Rave on your wireless...

Hey all,

how's everyone been? I ain't been on here in god knows how long.. Hope everyone is well.

Just not getting a minute during the days in work to get on like I used to. Ah well could be worse.

Mickyt, hows you and yours?

Ah pj I love radio 2, enjoy the comedy programmes of radio 4 too!! Just better music on radio 2 than other stations!

MickyT how the devil are ya?!

Not too bad Eire. can't complaint. and sure who'd listen if I did?

How about yourself?

Feels like haven't been to a Leinster game in ages with them being on the road of late. Really looking forward to the weekend.

How you prop. Not a bother chief (read up for confirmation )

How about yourself?

MrsP would listen micky

This is true about MrsP. always good for a listen. Good to see that hasn't changed anyway.

Yeah she still picks on me too!

I need to get my ass over to dublin for h.c with the other half in tow...need to get on to booking flights to belfast then a train down!! Miss yer face T

5 week ban for Hore....I got 7 weeks for a stamp!

Do Prop. I am hoping to buy a house early new year. If I do then you're of course more than welcome to put a tent up out my back

Michael Twinkletoes!!!!

What time do you call this to come a visiting?

Great to see you buddy. You've been missed.

Sounds like a plan! I'll actually look to put mine up on the first night though!!

Ha I don't mind Prop as I got a bed first night and a sofa the second night. No tent for me that time

Awh too kind Mrs P. Yeh it's an awkward aul time alright but I just seen the posts on Facebook so it just reminded to stop by and say hello as it's been fair too long so it has.

Always happy to see your big smiling face MickyT.

So, is it just a house or will there be Wedding bells too?

I am blessed that I have a quite Pragmatic GF MrsP so I think the wedding bells would be a bit further down the line thank god.

Financially it would break my heart. I am already starting to resent her over the lack of a decent holiday over the last 3 years. I have made it perfectly clear I blame that on her. She doesn't lose sleep over it.

You young lads!!!!

Am I never going to get a wedding invitation out of this place?????

Hold out for 2 years mrsP....and only if you're nice!!

T-you had. 5 star holiday to Cardiff a couple of years ago!!

Have you popped the question Prop?

Haha nooo not yet!! Definately not till after my sis' wedding, don't want to steal her thunder!

If he wasn't aiming for his head, where was he aiming...? Hmmm...? I don't think this disciplinary panel is very bright...

Or maybe Hore is a very poor shot?

Il be the big 30 next year. I shall not be allowed dodge it forever I assure you of this.

Give me 3 years MrsP.

3 MORE years????

MrP and I were married 8 months after we started going out!

We had never had a birthday or Christmas as boy friend and girl friend as we were married before those things had come around again!

Slow coaches!!!!

Ha good god that was quick turn around alright. well we will be together 7 years next May I believe so before 10 years I reckon.

Don't want to rush these things

Aye best to be sure T!! Ah MrsP that shows how times have changed, my parents were engaged after 6 months together. Cohabiting seems more common nowadays.

Whatdya mean,

"..times have changed"

?

It's not like we married in the 1970s!!!!

My Mam is 64 and My Dad 62. They have been courting since my dad was 14 and my mam 16. But I don't think they got married until my mam was 25 which was suspciously close to my sister being "concieved"

Honeymoon baby!

The maths don't quite add up but I reckon there was some creative accounting done with the figures alright.

Although since their honeymoon was in Clare, if it was a honeymoon baby then my sisters name would have reflected such.

I have a friend whose Granny went to her grave believing that one of her Grandchildren had been 3 months premature.

This despite the fact that said infant weighed 8lbs at birth!

I'd say there were many like that in the times gone by. Much more of a taboo to have a baby out of wed lock.

I'm shocked
Man rugby training should be fun in this chill!!

See the IRB Player of the Year Shortlist?

Richie McCaw (New Zealand) Yep, standard.
Dan Carter (New Zealand) Yep, as expected.
Freddie Michalak (France) An excellent choice.
Owen Farrell (England) ...what?

I agree Notch.............how has he got in there, what has he done?? Even the English are shocked!!

Think the ban button may be used tonight after that announcement!!

Hasn't Michalak only played 3 international matches this year? I thought he was on the outer for the 6N? Or did he play in the summer in Argentina?

POTY selection panel: Eales, Greenwood, G Hastings, Raphael Ibanez, Francois Pienaar, Agustín Pichot, Scott Quinnell, Umaga & Paul Wallace.


Only mine does MrsP....only mine does.

I am very confused by that selection. As you say two of them are as expected but I don't see Owen Farrell made it in there. He has been having a break through season last year but still lots of learning to do.

Baffled by that one.

Freddie, I would say I don't know how well he has been doing because I haven't seen him on the international scene but could be a good one.

You have your own Mod????

I'm not sure if that's because you are sooooo badly behaved that moderating you is a full time job or whether it means you "own" a mod?

Which one is yours then?

Not saying which mod MrsP that would be telling! Training time!!

He's been in magnificent form for France this autumn. Tore the Aussies apart, apparently.

Why is there a lack of Fernandez Lobbe there? Blokes been quality throughout the year.

Evening pub.

Agreed, Michalak and Farrell are odd choices for POTY.

For me, Picamoles should be in there.

Possibly Nathan Sharpe too, for answering Aus's call in their hour of need and captaining so well.

Difficult to pick anyone from the 'Lions' nations. If a country had a good 6N, they followed it with a less than impressive summer tour and and indifferent set of AIs.

Yep, that's a list drawn up by committee....

Good shout on Fernandez Lobbe.

J P Pietersen has had a good year (tore England to bits in the summer)
