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?

Puma,
Send them to Penfro. He loves em, e does...

Que? All from 606, with several more MIA - perhaps our Scottish-centric stuff wasn't widely read/understood?!?!

Outdoor tomatoes in Scotland! Are you mad?

If you go to the supermarket for salad though, avoid the organic variety, they are the killer ones apparently.

Am I losing it ... again? Just posted an answer to Puma and I jumped into the start of another Pub? I like the idea of Time Travel... but

As,
Looks like you might have that "100 of ye Alive" on here yet pal.

Puma,
That's grand. Nice to have them as a reminder of a great Meet too.

Hobo,I voted for Robbie Savage under formal protest. There was no Neymar.Boo-urns.

Gibbo - not sure why the intro message of the pub has appeared on this page, very strange, but this isn't a new pub just yet, still got loads left on this one!

Still the site keeps telling me I have a message in my inbox, I go to check and there's nothing new there (Penfro - I've received your message and have replied, just waiting for it to go from my outbox!) maybe this place is just having a funny five minutes....

Ok DONT PANIC. Its just the Pub banner appears at the top of every page. I like that. A constant reminder.

I'm not 100% sure there are many new scottish posters over from the old 606, its just the majority of the scottish posters kept to themselves. I for one would rarely comment on a thread that was not linked to Scotland or Scottish rugby.

Not beacause I'm not interested, in truth I read a lot of posts over on the old one, but I did not always feel I had any opinions to add.

I do agree we do have a lack of English posters here at the moment.... but hopefully that will change as time goes on. I think it's very important that 606v2 captures as much opinions as possible.

I'm also glad to see 606v2 becoming busier!

Hi Thom. How's she cuttin pal?

Daaavid Ginola would have won that hands down. Or hair down.

Radge - aye that's true I guess, I'm just glad I get to read more about Scottish rugby on here! One of the great things about this site is that as there's no closuer time we're getting more posters from NZ and Australia too which is brilliant. Every day this place is getting busier, tis good to see

Pretty good,no complaints really.Munster had a good win on Saturday and while there are still plenty of problems I'm optimistic for the future.Cork lost on Sunday but produced a decent performance against Tipp.

Might be a while before we reach an All Ireland hurling again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBLmKwrEpro

Personally, I think Ireland is very poorly represented on here. There's just too many!

If I'd known Hobo was gonna use that banner atop of each page I would've written a better one

Well said.

Hopefully some more of the 606 Kiwis come over. I'll have to have a word to Panama and FallingTP.

Yup Thom, ye battered and bettered us. In fairness. It will be "interesting" in the GAA football too this year.

Like the chooon btw.

Coincidentally, the next track on that album goes like this. Believe in Cork Hurling!

Well said Radge.

Kiwi,
Ah yih! Panama MUST come over. Id miss his stories of home and his sublime wit.

Gotta say, I miss Ummm,'s presence too.

Speak for yourself you Jackeen . Blydi cheque book Charlie, city slickers the lot of 'em

gcblue - only joking pal Pull up a chair , have a (will we get our redwine, cider, stout, & bubbly emotiicons ??) and let us know what you think the next season will hold for the Blues - if possible actually post this outside to stimulate postings (That' s right isn't it Hobo ?)

Up De Dubs!

I sang the Boys in Blue song to Mickado yng Gymraeg at the Heino weekend...the Irish version I found a little more difficult, but I do remember that the word gorm was in it. Also taught him the slang word gomping/gomper - I'm not sure that's unique to the Welsh?

Cari - I've never heard that slang word before!

Might have to log off here in a bit, got a load of direct payments things to do, except I've never been shown how to do it before, could be an interesting afternoon!

Okay, first things first:



Secondly - we had a request for the OP to appear at the top of each new page - nothing to worry about. If you want to change the content Cari, just post it and I will change.

If you are having a interesting discussion in the pub, try and start a thread as others who wont pop in here might enjoy it to.

Now was there anything else? Ah yes - I requested a Bahama Mama this morning at 9am and the barman still hasnt served me

Hobo - cheers *one Bahama Mama* for you, whatever it is...

Good idea about the threads outside as well. I think most of us post stuff outside if it's interesting enough.

Dreamer - not many people have. I heard one Welsh actor use it on a TV advert once. It's used to mean something not nice like "He's a gomper" (he's not very attractive) or "It's gomping" (it's not nice/tasty...etc). The Rolling Stones had a song called Gomper....

You Star Hobo! Me virtual symbol life is complete. I cant find any Bahama Mama on the shelves at the minute. Will this do mate?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGYNvx9lqDQ

Thanks Hobo, I prefer a as the is only for special occasions or when I'm being posh

Ah okay Cari, cheers for explaining, tis a bit of a random slang word though I guess.

Gibbo - I miss ummm, too

Not heard that specific one Cari – but I have heard (I’ll try this phonetically)
Gop (as in Cop) – Ping
GOPPING - meaning looking like a right pile of she-ite


RedWine
Cider
Stout
Bubbly - pleeeeeassssee

send your barman/ lady to a training course:

Penfro - if you can find a post with all the symbols on then Hobo will add them

I've heard of gopping as well. It's funny actually cause you know the word chopsy? chopsing? I think it means someone's being cheeky whereas my Gwent colleague here, thinks it means someone who talks a lot.

MrP has some saved here http://poisson.org.uk/emoticon/ (some of these Hobo's already created)

Ah! There you go then. Perhaps Hobo can use them then

I wonder how many Rugby Union posts have been moderated so far.

Also Hobo is this your job running this thing or just a hobby.

“the O’s have had some right GOPPIN’ shirts over the yuuurs”

I liked that one Cari! Oh and the chant in Irish was (phonetically) Nah Buke-ali gur-um ah-boo. Ah-boo (Abú) isn’t exactly “come on” but it’s close. It’s like “allez” in French I suppose…

Just booked 2 tickets to see the new X-men movie tonight. I won’t lie, I’m MASSIVELY excited about the whole thing!

Mick, I'll join you in that excitment. Also new Dark Knight movie been announced. Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman

Ah it was goppin', I couldn't remember which word I used. Gomping/Gomper usually refers to people and food.

That chant looks even funnier when you write it phonetically.

I’m a bit disappointed with the casting of Anne Hathaway, she’s just one of those generic actresses that all seem the same to me. I include Rachel McAdams, Jennifer Garner and Natalie Portman in that group.

Still though, it should be a crackin movie, can’t wait to see what Nolan’s take on catwoman is!

Hobo,
I'm liking the look of that man! FOUR types of Rum, Yup. Must mix one up. I have everything I need, except I drank all the rum.
I love rum.

Cari,
Do you fancy an all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas pal?

very few acts of moderation on the rugby section. Not sure how much the moderators have done. You have been a well behaved bunch

As for is this my job - no. This is a purely non profit making enterprise. We only set it up due to the BBC closing their 606 down. All the effort by the admin team has been in our own time.

I work from home (I offer high quality training at a low cost - tell your bosses ) so have spent a lot of time promoting and working on things.

The original admin team were all from the wrestling board on 606 but when a few other rival sites set up, we looked at 606 and could see where the problem posters came from (namely the footie board).

So we made the decision to target the other boards. We got golf and boxing over quite early and they really flew. My own personal project was to get the rugby board going which by the looks of it has worked!

Did I mention I offer low cost, high quality training?

We may have fewer members than the alternatives but in the sports other than football, we have more posts than all the other forums put together. And have only hada a very few wums (something like a dozen folk banned out of 2100).

Anyway, its kind of smowballed into what we have today - something that the other admin and myself are very proud of.

If anyone wants training - PM me.

Stag - I've only edited one post myself and had to move I think 3 to the proper section but that is it. Everyone's behaving themselves so far on the rugby board and long may it continue!

Miackdo (I've retyped your name 3 times now so it can stay this way). I agree ENTIRELY about Hathaway and Co. But then again thats what I thought about Heath Ledger and Joker. No doubt she'll be some schizophrenic cat burgler.

Gibbo - the Bahamas? Why, is it typhoon season at the moment?

Mickado - I'm not into those kind of films, but I hope it exceeds your expectations.

We'll see about Hathaway. To be honest, I don't think Catwoman is a very good character. Only there for the sex appeal.

Tom Hardy as Bane should be interesting. His performance in Bronson was fantastic.

Munsty I agree with you. I was hoping for Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin. I suspect that Catwoman will be a character who is good/bad.

Gibbo - I know why you're poorly now. You're sympathising with Jenno...

Poor dab

Tom Hardy is going to be in it? might have to go and watch that film now then!

That would be some gooooood casting!

Yeah Cari. Its tough. But that's rugby. He plays on the edge and was brilliant in Sat...

He has 3 months (June, July and most of August) to make it, sooo.... you never know.

But I doubt it. Needed to be playing in Irelands' Summer Tests.

Please let that be the last one until August!

No skiing accidents a la Sylvain Marconnet.

You never know Gibbo, if he misses out on the world cup, he could be first choice for the Six Nations squad 2012...every cloud!

Notch - I really hope the Anglo-Welsh wummery doesn't get a stupid over the summer on here
