The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Dubai دبيّ‎

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 Dubai, host city for the upcoming round of the IRB Rugby World 7s.

Visitors are reminded to dress sensibly and carry their working-'holiday' permit with them at all times and if possible; engage in their sinful drinking habits within the smoky confines of the underground "English Pub". We have more big screens than you could ever dream of...

If you need to go for a swim at the beach - application forms for towels and umbrellas are available at the bar.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Ricky Ponting, Bradley Davies, Andrew Hore and Craig Gilroy above the bar.

This one would have been way too fast for her. But like I say, I can't say for certain it was a rat. It could have been a tiny dog, in which case she'd only want to play with it.

Ffwlbart?

On the docks? It's possible, I suppose.

If it was on the Docks it was a rat!

I should have made it clearer, I meant the yard at work.

With that disregard for necessary detail you could get a job at the WRU press office...

Okay then, I achieved a rat underpinning the yard at work.

I hope you are working together hard to find collaborative solutions for eradication of rats on a sustainable footing (although obviously not sustainable for the rats?)

I know the human being and rats can coexist peacefully.

As long as they don't extenuate their parameters.

I'm reading your conversation as the human's being the wru and the rats being the regions, makes it more entertaining

for Prop

Woo I got rewarded I did!!

My sister had a pet rat. It stank.

Morning all.

Heard from Stag this morning, the poor sap has drawn the late shift at work through to 11PM.

Which means of course that one of the coveted seats on the Podcast is vacant tonight.

Glas, do you fancy stepping up again?

(any and all applications welcome, you just need to be free for an hour or so from 8ish tonight, and be near either Skype or a landline.)

Ah man!! I'd be well up for that but am busy after training tonight! Gutted!!

Oh go on then, you've twisted my arm...

Pete, signed up for Skype!


How do I use it?

It's sad, but I don't blame him in the slightest:

Ouch, now you're asking the tough questions!

Does your computer at home have a microphone? (if it doesn't ...)
Assuming it does, and you're now signed up then you need to download and install the Skype program.
After that, send me a contact request (it's a bit like a facebook friend request) - my Skype ID is pete.cresswell1 (searching on it will bring up a few options, my profile pic has me playing a set of Heineken drums.

If worst comes to the worst I can phone you like last time

It's satan's work grandad! Stay away! The Chinese assuredly involved as well. No good can come from it. You have been warned.

Really????

That quick!!!!!!

Absolutely delighted for you!

MrP took early retirement this year. Best move he ever made!

Not sure why you are so excited Hound. But 26 more sleeps before then.

Early retirement Biltong. A nice big cheque and immediate pension. I'm not motivated much by money, it's more to escape the constant stress.

I just need to sort out a solicitor's letter tomorrow and send off the documents.

So chuffed for you !

I bet your wee tail is wagging like Billyo just now!

Good work, Hound!

Best I can do MrsP.


Thanks for the good wishes folks.

I think I have three days leave (pro rata), so effectively two weeks more after this week. There is also the annual bonus to come - probably in March.

Well done Hound. May you have a long and fulfilling retirement.

Kiwi, I'm Hywelv2 and my photo is...

Rava - well done Sir

Brilliant news I hope you have a very long and happy retirement.
Your date will be five years to the day since I got my Early Retirement. Maybe we could meet up in years to come and have a celebratory

Great news

that's great Hound, you should bring your pounds to SA, I have a couple who immigrated here this year, they are in the pound seats (pardon the pun) here.

Rava - at some point a trip to NI and Ravers would be grand.

Evening Lurkers (being as no one seems to be in). Hope everyone's well and keeping warm.

Congratulations - enjoy a well earned rest in the dog basket

I have a rest myself now until next Tuesday. Going to head down to see the Old Girl as I'll be here at Xmas.

Right, I'm going to put some porn on the big screen then...

Hmm, noooooo? Don't ask about the HC preview though...

I've driven out there MrsP (did i ever tell you about my trip to the RWC ............. ) This can only improve the standards

Penfro,

Were you really? I don't believe you have mentioned it.

How did the HEC preview go?
