The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Walkabout, Covent Garden

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 original Walkabout pub in London's Covent Garden, as it is set to close its doors at the end of the month.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Mark Ella or recent birthday boys Gibson and Glas a du above the bar.

Is there a biography Glas? Sounds a guaranteed interesting read if there is.

I found this Swanny.

Oh thanks MrsP I'm intrigued now, will have to get myself a copy

Bout yees folks anyone snowed in yet?

Evening all......getting ready to start looking for a new job I think, seems everyone else's project has had an influx of money and they're all receiving promotion's whilst I'm doing a 2 or 3 person job on my own and hardly get as much contact with my manager anymore.

Sorry to rant...felt I needed to do it somewhere....mine's a

Nope, not yet Rodders. Might be by tomorrow morning though if the forecast is right.

Rant away Prop

Think I got most of it out Swanny!! Just ready for a new challenge and to move back towards using my drama degree in the mental health area........my job at the moment is rewarding but I'm ready for something that will progress my career more!!

Keep the pecker up prop!

Aye well I did sign for a new car yesterday and got a house viewing next week....just ready for a new job......been told to apply for one by one of the other manager's who has a vacancy coming up and keeps talking to me about it so may give that a go....would be able to use drama more then.

Anywho....time for bed for me, early start tomorrow......always good to have this place to rant and listen nos da.

Nos da Prop, and go for that job. You never know

Plus a howling wind. Woke me up. So I'm sitting here at 03.20 watching the snow fall and drinking cocoa. My life is soooo rock 'n' roll

Still snowing. Considering how long it's been coming down there isn't actually that much settled. Wind may have summat to do with that. All roads east are shut now though.

Milkman's delivered

Would prefer snow to this driving rain and wind from the east. Did think I'd be taking a plastic bag with me put to the fields this morning, but the twins we had on the weekend look full enough even if very miserable.

Just rain here, too.

Wow, the BBC really think we care that they're moving from one building to another, don't they? Another article about it now, showing clips of old programmes. The public remember the programmes but I doubt they have particular fondness for the building where they were filmed.

I did wonder what the weather was like your way Glas. Different perspective when you've got animals to consider.

Getting worse here now. I shall be a lot happier once Sharpey's home from work. He's already 30 minutes later than normal but guess that's only to be expected.

Started snowing about 2 this morning. Easily a foot outside my residence as I type. And... It's still coming coming down... And when I say coming down I am talking blizzard conditions. Not due the stop at any point all day. Journey into work should be fun! Did we drift into the arctic circle and nobody's noticed?

Snow is always more likely at Easter than Christmas.

Damn....just made it in to the office to find out its a working from home day...

No snow here

My iPhone forecast has 100% chance of 100% snow and nothing but snow till 8 this evening. Fun times lie ahead!

Yous Belfast folks get all the fun willser.

No snow here - yet. I am about to set off for Stirling to get my hair cut. Is my new motor car going to get it's first bad weather test or will I get there and back before it blows in this way?

We have a fair bit of snow here so far with the forecast saying it will snow heavily and continuously till Saturday afternoon when it will become light but continuous.

Having problems with our phone line too.

All the kids off school but it is quite a blizzard out there so not looking like we will get out to make a snowman.

Made it into work... Just...

Main issue is shocking visibility.

Handbrake was broken out in car park. Epic banter.

OK planning to head to Belfast this weekend....any sign of this snow clearing or what?

In short,

NO!

It is forecast to continue for 24 hours at this intensity and then ease off.

Mind you, I may be seeing the worst of it judging by the Beeb report.

I hate ice ages. No wonder the neanderthals didn't stick around....

It actually isn't too cold but the wind chill is nasty and the temp is due to drop from about lunchtime so all the slushy stuff will freeze.

When do you need to make the call on travelling?

Is MrsR planning to travel too? Getting stuck would be a bit of a bad idea for her just now.

Maybe Sunday MrsP.... this weather would drive a sane person bananas it really would....

Ah sure Sunday'll be grand.

..tis spring after all!

Morning all


And to think I booked a flight to Belfast last night.

The snow will have melted by May right?

(HEC final weekend I'm flying into Belfast and hitching a ride down with Rava)

Sure if it hasn't well be down there with our shovels clearing the runway just for you Pete!

Feic sake I've just been informed that a 2.4billion tonne asteroid is due to collide with the earth on 21st Marsh 2014...... just trying to verify this......

Well it will probably have trouble getting anywhere near us with all this snow!

Sure it's bound to hit a diversion or a fallen tree somewhere!

Hollywood is bound to make films about this now!

OK bear with me.... I think its been downgraded on the torino scale..... no need to panic just yet.....

The way you say that, is the exact same tone of mildly hassled inconvenience people have been using about the snow coming over the weekend.

"Snow? In March? Feic sake..."
"An asteroid? The end of life on earth? Humph."

BIG GUIDE .....

Evening all

How the devil is everyone?

Evening Oz and pub lurkers.

I'm good. It's Friday and a four day week next week! Oh and the O's are playing tonight, although I can't see it being much of a game due to schitty weather. It' just rained all day...

Evening all. Just to show there's no hard feelings after Saturday , I'm drinking a called Welsh Pride. From Bragdy Conwy.

Very nice it is too. My mate didn't like ordering it though.

I'm not sure how I can convey this without sounding sarcastic (which is not my aim) but Hound, you are my hero.

Just about to watch a bit of Ospreys vs. Dragons. Can see this being a bit one sided.

I know. Perhaps the Dragons should give them a five point start?

OMG, why have we got an Oirish ref?

"At the first sign of rugby, blow up"

At least 10 mate

Good to see Lydiate back though. Just did a massive hit on Ashley Beck there.

Oh dear. Could be a long night. Ymlaen Dreigiau!
