The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Pyongyang

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 Pyongyang in a bid to persuade Kim Jong Un to pack away the missiles, grab a beer and watch the rugby.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Donal Walsh, Chris & the late Hannah Eaton, the retiring Marcus Horan, the recently hospitalised Schalk Burger (with meningitis), the recuperated Jacques Burger, and the three-peating ANBL champion NZ Breakers

Hartleys face always reminds me of Vicky Pollard and I was waiting for him start acting like her as well when he got sent off. "Yeah, but no...so unfair!"

Congrats to you and your lady rodders.



Cari - Saints lost the plot there just before ht.

Nice name Rodders, even though our best delinquent mother has (had, the council have her now) a child called that, as does my business partner, a fact we occasionally have cause to remind her about

All the best people have one!

Thanks all... would have been Johann if it was a boy but hey ho

We'll get her up to Ravenhill soon!

What! I'll be calling social services...



I take it you do as well then Mrs P...

I do.

And she is now convinced that Rodders and Mrs Rodders have named their beautiful daughter after her!

Don't disabuse her of that notion, it's a lovely thought.

Absolutely!

Yup, Hong Kong is also a good choice.

Can we have Katelyn's Bar Hong Kong (twinned with Limavady or wherever Rodders lives?)

Limavady!!

Sorry, Ballycastle...

Well Ballycastle is an improvement on Limavady I suppose!

How was the Balmoral show Glas? Did you get much time take in some sites?

This could go on all night, where do you live Rodders?

Yes, we loved it. Went around the Ards, to the show, to Lisburn leisure centre, to the causeway, Bushmills distillery, Victoria square and the Titanic museum. Enjoyed every minute.

Derry/Londonderry Glas...although I prefer not to spread that around

Great job, sounds like you packed some good stuff in.

Stroke City!!!

Ok I'm moving to Limavady!

Ah OK, delete that post if you prefer then.

Sorry Glas (and Limavady). Thanks very much for the suggestion, I'm honestly moved by the gesture .

My home turf squire! Didnt know you where in town or I'd have suggested lunch. As Northern Ireland's second most important city we have a number of fine eateries.

Wow..Lisburn is a city?...

Declared as such about ???? 10 years ago?

Can't see it myself but...

They didn't waste much time!

They take photos of all the possible Lions quite a while befor the announcement so the pics are all ready.

I seem to remember a certain Monaghanman getting a bit of a ribbing about it 4 years ago.

I'm sure Rory only damaged his eye yesterday though? Anyway, if it was rushed today I think it's funny.

Maybe although I suspect he might be looking a bit rougher than that today!

I think they must have all the pics ready. Do they not show them as they announce the squad?

I think the ones they had before the first get together were photoshopped...and you know that BOD and Melon were photoshopped into the squad photo...and badly too. I just thought for Rory it must feel like he's won a holiday or something having to rush round and do everything to catch up with the others.

It would certainly be strange packing to go away so far for so long at such short notice.

Big 24 hours for our Rory alright!

Congrats Rodders... and also Mrs Rodders.

So glad to leave Pyongyang... the food here is terrible!

So, Ballycastle Bar, Hong Kong?

What portraits besides Rory? Sam? Manu? Who's the Lion's assistant trainer again?

The Barbarians should feel ashamed of themselves so none of them!
Back in my day... the whole village used to be scared of them but now even the kiddies taunt them and throw washed vegetables at them as they go past in their convertibles.....

New Pub...
