The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

Welcome all to the new pub. Hopefully the traditions from the last 606 will continue here in our new home. The only new rule I have really is, see that Tommy Bowe signed picture there above the bar? If anyone defaces that, they're barred. There'll be banter, indepth discussion, some rambling but above all mutual respect as always. It all looks very swish, but we still serve traditional beverages and food. So what'll it be?

Oh if you have any complaints by the way, don't look at me - speak to rugbydreamer cause she's a mod!





Now to fire up the jukebox...

Cool - going to retweet it to people if thats okay.

I was confused by the name of the thread!

Rev, make sure there are no hacks there and he'll open up quite a bit. He did Aberaeron recently and was very candid. Very candid indeed.

That Stormers game was immense and I was only watching the text commentary!

As Eddie Butler may have said ' Tweet away Hobo, Tweet away'

Morning all

Cheers for the TV guide Penfro, top class as always.

London Irish end of season dinner was last night and Dan Bowden got players player of the year.

In other news iHumph's wife gave birth to a little girl last night so congrats to him.

Hope everyone who is meeting up this weekend has a fantastic time, I am sure you all will and I look forward to seeing the pictures on facebook some time next week.

As, if your about, am looking forward to next Friday mate, you'll have to text me the details in the week, should be some craic.

Penfro - could you mention that you will be continuing your TV guides on v2 after 606 closes down (in other words mention it on 606!)

Hello cardiff sun and under 5 hours left in work!!

I am so jealous of you all going. I am originally from Newport but now live in Glasgow, so I miss these big games

Have a good time and dont forget to get your chips in Caroline Street at the end of the night!

We're halfway to Bristol, and a couple of :beer:s in. Roll on Cardiff

I've been mentioning it over the last few weeks, but will do so on today's thread on the old place

KIWI - can't wait to see the video of the boys trying to put the tent up later

Latest Weather Forecast for DA ‘DIFF
TODAY – Max 17c Min 8c - Sunny Intervals until 16:00 then intermittent light showers until 19:00
TOMORROW – Max 18c Min 10c Sunny Intervals until 13:00 then intermittent light showers until 16:00, then Sunny Intervals again

Now that forecast doesn't sound too bad, Penfro. I think I'll still bring a coat with me, though.

Am I the only one who's in work and whose morning is dragging like crazy?

Penfro: we will be perfectly capable at putting up the tent, pegging it down however may be a problem. At least if there's a fire sweeping through cardiff tomorrow morning you'll know it's gone horribly horribly wrong!

Roof shut then please.

I have a ticket for Risca's Presentation night, so will be fairly smart when I meet you later. Will try and sell my Amlin ticket later too, but I can't see me having too much joy there.

PROP - YOU may well be capable, but you could very well be hindered by 3 rat-bothered Oirish blokes

LUCKY - mine is on slo-mo. Good thing is I'm away at 13:30 to get home to meet my guest - THE MUNSTERS

Oooh, matching socks tonight is it Rev

Damn, I didn't think of that Penfro.

All right All.

I haven't got a clue what's happening later, so I'll just wait for the text/phonecalls

I have got dressed though. Just making some lunch.

Morning all! Hope everyone's well

Can't believe this weekend is finally here!

The match between Ponty and Llanelli yesterday has set things up nicely so I'm just so looking forward now. Here's to a great weekend!

Meeting Munsty at 15:20 Cari? Cardiff Central.

I'm hoping to be in Cardiff for half two or so for a few scoops.

Cheers Rev. I am meeting him, but I thought he was coming in earlier? He 's supposed to text me anyway when he's nearer the Diff. Then we'll have a wander whilst I wait to hear from Micky T so I can give him his bed when he gets off his train.

"3 rat-bothered Oirish blokes"

This filter is something else!

CARI - THE MUNSTERS are scheduled to arrive at Penfro Towers at 15:00 (I've allocated the entire South Wing for them) We'll refresh them with a spot of tiiffin, before the Edwards (the chaffeur) will convey us to the city centre. We'll then take a consitutional to the hotel, where we will aim to meet you at 16:45

RT @606v2rugby @mikebrown_15 can you give a shout out to all the quins fans going tonight who are on https://www.606v2.com/ (Cari, Rev, Penfro,Kiwired etc)?

I know you may not all be quins fans but you got a mention!

Yo!! Cheers Hobo. I've no idea who that fella is mind

Oi Hobo, can I have that Sheep smiley as my avatar then? It'll save me having to put it at the end of every post.

charming!

oo Cari, just wondering, do you still have a spare ticket for the Amlin?

Just been speaking to my dad (tis his birthday!) and he's instructed me to go to the rugby and to have a good time! (not sure he should be encouraging me really!!)

No worries if you don't have the ticket any more though

HOBO - quick question if you don't mind. I've set up a signature , but it's not appearing at the end of my posts. Do I have to log out and back in for the changes to take effect ?

Oi Hobo!

Well can I?

DREAMER - REV will be trying to get rid of his in the EAST DOOR later, if that's any use

Harrow's got three spare I believe Dreamer, so he was giving me two. Apparently they're hospitality ones

PENFRO - signatures and avatars aren't allowed on the site to keep it looking "normal".

This is correct - sorry guys!

No worries Hobo. I actually prefer it. Can you imagine the rubbish that would be clogging up the board if it was allowed?

hospitality ones eh? Well I guess I can't really turn that down, especially not now I know my Dad wants me to go!

Munsty's got 4 spare from what I know too, i've taken one!

Look, look...

Leinster name Strauss and BOD in their side for tomorrow.

Quick question - I still havent got the feel of the subsections right, I feel.

SO I was going to split the board into 3 parts. 2 subsections at the top "International" and "Club Rugby"

Then below that you have the pub and general rugby talk.

In the two subsections, I am inetending on removing "super 14, Aviva" etc and just leave it as a place to discuss any club competition.

Thoughts?

Dreamer, just pop to the pub later at 4:45 and we'll all be sorted.

Leinster team:

I'll just have to put my signature on manually then!

hobo, I think that pretty much ties in with the suggestions I made earlier this week?

I think I said International, Club and Miscellaneous sections?

HOBO - sure it's not a problem, was just wondering where it had got to. Twas beautful mind you -

We are a sad people.
Our sadness being wrapped in harps and music
And praise to God,
For the lovely, yearning light
That feeds the Spirit as well as the eyes

Va bene

nice one Cari!

Just had the boiler fixed properly! Well I hope so anyway....fingers crossed I actually manage to get more than 10mins of hot water now!!

Cari,

He's in at 15:20. I'm meeting him then. Anybody who's available is of course welcome. We won't be acting that lovey dovey I promise.

Okay - its changed. Looks better already.

Tsk! well he never said. That's OK though. As long as someone's there to meet him. I think what I'll do is wait for Micky T to contact me, then go into town then as I'll have the sleeping bags with me.

I might join you both then Risca. I'm far too impatient for later on this afternoon now! Sooo can not wait!

Did anyone else watch This Life years ago? I did, I thought it was a great programme.
