The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Ealing Broadway

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 back to London where the victorious British & Irish Lions squad will start their 25 day open bus journey across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland -  being greeted by millions of happy, proud, delirious, tipsy and slightly sunburned rugby fans.

So grab a beer, cider, whiskey or wine.... or a warm beverage and sit back and enjoy their well-earned procession through the streets where it all began.

                     

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of the legendary
Warren Gatland, Sam Warburton, Alex Corbisiero, Jonathan Sexton, George North, Jamie Roberts and Richie Gray.

Mangled. That's all folks.

Get yerself a Tumble-dryer Hound. Far  safer, but a lot less fun. Them mangles are bad news.

   

Laugh?! We nearly shat!
We had not laughed so much since Grandma died
Or Auntie Mabel caught her left t1t in the mangle

They eat mangolds in Kent you know, with hops.

Classic line from the Prosecutor in Court this week:

"The witness was joined by his son who recognised the defendant as they were in school together. "That's Jamie 'Drwg'" he said..."

England going well in the cricket, Froome should win the TdF tomorrow and Westwood in the hunt for the open.

And I'm drinking a beer called Hound Dog

Surely you should've been drinking Mad Dog...

Afternoon Lurkers.  

Hope everyone's well. I'm back home now after my little jaunt West. It's still warm here, but a welcome wind is blowing through the house so that's keeping things bearable.

Allez Le e...

Howya Cari & Glas. Blydi steaming hot here.

Bore da pawb / good morning all. I was having a shave this morning when suddenly I thought about the autumn and how much I'm looking forward to it - especially going down to Dave Parade on a clear and slightly cold night for the rugby. It really put a smile on my face - and it won't be long now until we're there.  

So anyway, I says to Mabel, I says...

Will you ring Mabel? And the maid fainted...

The maid was dismayed.

Carpe diem, Lucky.

OK. You woke up this morning, and shaved the maid. You have my attention. What did Mabel think?

No, Mabel shaved the maid. I was busy watching online porn while I still have the chance.

Bore da pawb / good morning all. I was woken up in the night by torrential rain, thunder and lightning. It was great!

I'm happy for the royal couple - they seem likeable enough; but seriously, if there's no news, accept there's no news and show something else for a bit!

I thought they were making cutbacks at the BBC, but this morning they'd sent Susanna Reid down from Manchester to anchor the Breakfast show from outside Buckingham Palace, where nothing was happening (and barely anything happened yesterday). There are dozens of BBC reporters in London already, use one of them! And then they went live to Nicholas Witchell outside the hospital, where nothing was happening either and he had nothing to tell us.

Harrumph!

I was just thinking: we've had a spell of beautiful weather, then the royal baby arrives and we have torrential rain and thunderstorms. A few hundred years ago they'd be saying it was a terrible omen.

Just had a look at the opening round of fixtures in the Heino: Leinster at the Liberty on the Saturday, the Blues at Sandy Park on the Sunday. Do I sense a Dew Drop weekend in the offing?  

I'll stop talking to myself now.

Would you kindly

I'm starting to hallucinate that there's someone else here now!

'BREAKING NEWS: Prince Charles says it is not yet clear what the royal baby's name will be, on walkabout in Yorkshire.'


That's not news!

Prince Charles drinking in walkabout is big news indeed I'd say.

And Camilla's on the absinthe.

That would indeed be high quality.

I counted four different BBC correspondents dotted around the country and that was just for the lunchtime news bulletin. That doesn't include the Welsh news, and any other BBC (radio, other regions, World Service...) people who were also broadcasting at the same time. It's pathetic and totally unnecessary. Who gives a schitt what the people of Anglesey think of the baby?!

Anyway, evening all. Another muggy one despite thunderstorms last night. It's annoying.

Quiet time of the year for rugby unless you're a fan of one the S15 semi finalists.

They are better at being better. Or something like that. Dunno really. It's just more A-Listers being hand-fed by Z-listers really. Or is it the other way round?

That's how it all works. I think.

I hope they are happy, have a great life together and their child follows their lead.  Seem like nice people. All the rest is Love sacks.

They will probably never have to do that in their lives. Or even have to rear the child.  That's why we all love em...  

I don't know about that Gobby!

I just think of them as very excited new parents.

Just brings back memories of our first. A really special time.

 

Ja. Me too pal. Me too. It is magic. That 1st cuppae tae and green shoite on yer trousers. Magic.

MrsG was goin on about the child being born on our 37th anniversary. She thought it was kismet or something.

Wimmin eh? Cant drown em...

Was it really your 37th anniversary yesterday????

Wow!

It reminded me about bring our first home from hospital. One of her 2 ID bands had already fallen off and then when we went to leave we discovered the only remaining ID had disappeared. I had dressed her before we left so we could go over to MrP's department and show her off and the ID had fallen off in her wee baby grow. MrP had to run out to the car and rifle through the washing to find the thing!

Beautiful moments like that make it all worthwhile. Life is a bunch of moments with all the other stuff in-between. Ive had loads of em with ye lot.  Love you pal.

Very, very,  Little Pale Blue Dot. That's  us.

Indeed!

Ditto!

 

Ah, I quite like the RF but (as lucky alluded to earlier) the media go ott on this stuff.

Fark me Starbucks is the place to be.

Any Starbucks in particular?

Llanelli. Could knock me down with a feather.

Totty-tastic?

Yep. And in Llanelli of all places.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Who invited Alice?

Who the f*ck is Alice?
