The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

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 only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

Munsty - aye, we forget he's only 18 and still growing in his size 13 boots.

Have to admit Staggy after 15 mins of sobbing I'd have struggled to come up with any small talk, nice effort.

Looks like not everyone's an SBW fan

Munsty - aye I saw that interview, and whilst it's scary he's still growing he isn't really the biggest winger out there. When I went to watch Scarlets v Edinburgh, Visser was definitely bigger and taller then him. Although having said that, George North is a solid lad, his thighs are massive, tis quite frightening!

Kiwi- it was a 3 hour train journey. I was travelling around the country and I wasn't suffering 3 hours of this. She talked about her problems for about 40 minutes and was actually quite good company the rest of journey. South African she was actually.

If anyone is interested, highlights of Montpellier v Racing Metro

Anyone think Montpellier might just do it? Ouedraogo is out which is a massive blow.

One for Penfro, RWC tickets are still gettable for games out in the provinces.

100 days until RWC!

And one on refereeing for Stag, http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/5085459/Steve-Walsh-return-delayed-by-injury - some young ref's names to watch at the end, including Glen Jackson.

im being Flip with the stuff im trying to do right now, power through hughie power through

All my 'group' games are sorted. When we are travelling between games we won't actually be anywhere that has a game on the day we are there (EG - we are going to Dunedin but not on a match day).

Had a email yesterday, informing me that, as I had entered the original ballot for Semi AND Final tickets, there was an opportunity to purchase tickets for those on a 1st come first served basis, these are very limited. I will be going for those when the 'window' opens - fingers crossed

Bore da.

Court system in meltdown. 26 people to deal with by video link this morning in South West Wales (normally there would be ten or twelve max) and the Court put the wrong date on my client's form. All hell broke loose because the prison warrant expired today but the video link was booked for the 1/7. Normally this sort of MFU can be accommodated in the slack. However today the system was oversubscribed. If this is what the brave new world of technological advances in court proceedures throws up then heaven help us when they cut more from the court budget. Justice will suffer.

And, right, there was a girl in Court with probation or the press or one of the ones that sit on the side with unfeasibly large jubblies for such a slight one...it's lucky I have good powers of concen, con, concentr...

Glass, the correct term in-pub (per Asbo) is "fried eggs"

:run2:

Hmmm?

Ummm???

MMmmm Bop

From Glas' description, the last thing they were was

Glas - be prepared, because this government thinks computers can do everything and they're severely cutting back on staff in all public departments.

Is it just me or does anyone else get annoyed with people on Facebook who post deliberately vague status updates on their page, then get shirty or more vague when you ask them about it? What's the flipping point of that then??

In other news an ewe we thought we'd lost in January has turned up in Carmarthen!

ha, really Glas? that's a bit mad, good though I guess!

20 mins till I can escape my office for an hour, although as I'm so busy the morning has flown by, fingers crossed the same happens for this afternoon

Well I was chuffed. She's worth about £700.

Some plonker had left the gate open when they were grazing down there over the winter. We found the rest of them in the grounds of St David's Mental Hospital 10 yards from the main road! We never found her but it seems she was in a field with some dairy cows 2 or 3 farms away. The jungle drums have taken until now to sort it out.

Morining-ish all!! Think my project's just kicked off with 9 new referrals coming in which now takes me up to 16 young people to find employment for so my apologies if i'm not as active anymore during the day, probably going to be on in the evenings to relax!!

trying to do some assessment online, just doing the practice runs, and man they are hard

Glas - blimey, I'm very glad she's been found then! Didn't realise they could be worth quite that much!

Prop - nice one on the project

Hughie - that doesn't sound like a fun thing to be doing on a day off, but good luck with it.

and woop lunch time!

Anyone else seen the guy Jobless Paddy? He rented a big billboard on Merrion Street in Dublin with his CV details and the words Save Me From Emmigration.

I saw that story Staggy - what a lovely story it was too Others can read it here:

Our ram's half sister was sold last year for 24,000 guineas (£25,200). A slightly more distant relative was sold two years ago for £231,000, a world record for a sheep and I was there.

Extremely innovative wasn't it Cari. Glas apart from wool and meat what does a sheep that costs a quarter of a million pounds offer you. . . . actually in Wales I better not ask

Afternoon all...first post on the new 606 after seeing the other closed. I'll probably lurk the rugby boards more than most.

Cardiff Blues fan btw.

It was in Scotland actually. It's a pedigree so for producing other pedigrees not directly for meat. Just as in Horses and dogs, there is a premium on fashionable genetics.

Jebus! Ewe were made for meeeeeeeeeeee. No wonder some Welshmen treasure their sheep more than their GF's.

Is that racist? Or sheepist? No, it's purely financial.

Seriously. That's a lot of money wrapped up in wool, Glas.

Hobo mate, can we also have <musicalnote> please?

G'day regs. Have man-flu. You'll be glad to hear... its only a matter if time now...

It's true in humans and all to a certain extent.

Welcome gcBlues, good to have you here. And lurk away if you like but it'll be great if you could post too, we're a bit lacking in Blues fans around here! Have a while you're here

Gibbo you're so ungrateful! You'll want the moon on a stick next!

Man flu? That's curable - even for you. Besides, didn't you go trolling around Dublin with some Welsh bint when you had Man Flu?

Do you know what one of the best things I like about the rugby boards here so far is? It's the amount of Scottish posters there are. There seem to be so many more then there were on old 606, tis great to see, I always felt they were under represented over there. All we need is to get more English posters on board here and we'll have a nice balance I think.

Yeah I noticed the Scots are coming out now. I think what's attracted different people here is the lack of wummery.

The Germans are now saying that not only are cucumbers deadly but also tomatoes and lettuce. We knew about the toms anyway.

hopefully its also down to my tweeting of the scottish clubs too!

Find me a link to the musical note and i will add.

Any other questions/ requests?

Camera arrived in the post. Some good memories of an awesome weekend. Will be up on FaceAche soon.

i need to take a break and do some shopping trying to get up and go but something is stopping me ahaha

Nah !!! Lets's keep it Celtic-Centric
Now, where's Portnoy ?

Yay! Can't wait to see them!

Hobo - you can find the musical note in Glas' post at the bottom of the page. Can you also add the coffee mug on the same page too?

Great to have a Blues fan in here!

We now have all the Welsh regions represented, sadly we've lost our Connacht fans and have no Italian fans but the Scottish fans are on the up.

Have a

Well I had a salad just now with cucumber, different lettuces AND tomato in it.

Yea theres bundles of Scottish fans about now.

Cari,
Sorry pal. Thank you for requesting the the zen! X.

I agree Dreamer. Its so much healthier.

Hobo, it is great to see more Scots on here. Job well done V2 Team. You are really making the old 606, look decidedly amateur and inward-looking.

And we have always wanted a Blues fan in here. Welcome! More.

Dreamer, if that JA606 is closed, we are in for it. Its where all the one-liners, same article multi-posting, DISCUSS. FACT merchants, had gone for respite. Beware.

<Shudder> (unless the cucumbers were on the side for easy disposal )

Out of interest what was actually good about 606V1? I'm trying to remember

Looks like I am going to be buying all my salad stuff from the supermarket unless the bloody sun finally decides to come out. Holy Moly, warm and wet, I could put up with. Cold but dry and sunny - what's not to like? But cold and wet, wet and cold. Stop!! Or I might as well put the outdoor tomatoes on the compost heap now.

Gibbo, I didn't see your post about the Armangac until this morning - it did arrive safe and sound, thanks! Also managed to leave Rava's gift of the Bushmills teatowel behind and had to beg yet another favour from Olive and Mell. Needless to say, they came up trumps, teatowel and pot holder now installed.
