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?

I think I could have gotten into spiderman if it wasn't for Maguire to be honest, he's just not my cup of tea.

But I suppose this makes me a bit of a hypocrite but I loved Iron-Man come to think of it, oh and transformers (but I'm not sure if that was a comic)

Sin City was classic as well but that was classified as a graphic novel not a comic. Also had a certain MsAlba in it again

Hughie I think real reason was that Spiderman was cheesy and shoite.

Ah Bollix Kickass was a comic?? That was superb

I think it's a graphic novel Hughie.

If you like Iron man you’d like Xmen.

During the movie there was one scene where I thought Magneto’s voice sounded Irish, just looked him up and Michael Fassbender was brought up in Killarney. So that explains that!

Just think. Magneto is a Munster Man

Even with magneto you couldn't get near the Heineken Cup Staggy

Kia ora, mauri ora all from a very sunny heathrow t5. I'm seriously looking forward to a wee kip on the plane.

Some news from downunder, muliaina and so'ialo have both signed NH pension schemes ... in Japan

Catch everyone tomorrow :run2:

Hughie, of course we could. The thing is made from metal. We'd just run off with it

We already have Superman (Paulie). Magneto would be a nice addition.

Don't forget to bring me back something nice from Boston Pete

Will see what I can find ...

Pino's Pizza in Cleveland Circle pete. Best in town!

Take the Green C line out.

Actually, not worth the 40 minute round trip but it's really good pizza!

Does J Alba live in Boston?

I'd accept that as a gift as, no bother haha

Bore da pawb / good morning all.

It's a smasher of a morning here in Newport

Cari, I've never been to Ludlow either but I've heard that it has more Michelin-starred restaurants than you'd expect a town that size to have. I don't know why I'm mentioning it...

To be honest I'm sick of hearing this stuff! It has been cold wet and miserable up here for the last 3 days!

Why can't we get some sunshine!!!

Sun's spitting at scones here. Might kill some grass later.

:run1:

I dn't know if discussion of this here is acceptable, but has anyone else read this:

Morning all. So looking forward to the heatwave tomorrow

Luckless,

Haven't finished reading it yet, but Richard Branson?!

We’ve got a bank holiday in Ireland this weekend. Bet you all wish you had an extra day off when the sun is shining!

Munsty, I don't quite understand why he was involved either. Maybe it's because he has prior experience of getting high, albeit in a hot air balloon.

He has also experienced the lows (Circa 1987 Rathlin Island)

No. I employ people. They have had an extra one this year already.

Morning all

I am having a manic week here. I start a new job on Monday, have been moved to cover supervising a serious crime investigation team while their current supervisor goes on a course for three months, so am snowed under trying to clear my own jobs before moving on.

Big change for me having to line manage a team, as well as overseeing all of the teams investigations, hopefully I am up to the challenge.

Really looking forward to the T14 final this weekend, hope that Montpellier can get the win, have a real liking for them as a club.

Sandra Bulloch is still superbly good looking, just putting that out there

Morning all.

A couple of things - the Q&A with Marcel Garvey is up - https://www.606v2.com/t6164-marcel-garvey-qa-answers


And hughie - I am a huge fan of the Walking Dead. The second series is out in October and is 13 episodes long this time.

I have got through the first 10 volumes of the graphic novel and it is very different from the series (both have good and bad points).

Hughie, have to agree there.

LDPCPACC Pete. When do you lose the L?

Morning Pete, hope the new job goes well

Sandra Bullock is distinctly average looking.

Put her, Jane Middlemiss and Cludia Winkleman in a lineup and I can’t tell the difference. They’re all beige.

BTW, I got notifications from Sport Guru yesterday. In the 606 Pub leagues I finished 2nd in both the Amlin and Magners and 1st in the Footy Prem.

Just saying like, in case you missed it

wash your mouth out with soap and say three hail marys michael becasue that is blasphemy, Sandra is an angle, however yes i do agree about the other two

Once I find time to complete my portfolio and get it signed of Rava. Vicious circle though, you have to put in the work to investigate the crimes to have evidence to put in the portfolio, which leaves you no time to get the actual portfolio done. I should have had it done by now, but have just been so busy I've not yet completed it.

I've seen Claudia Winkleman in the flesh. That was at Buckingham Palace. Did I mention I've been to Buckingham Palace? Well I've been to Buckingham Palace.

You did well, there's not much on her.

hope all goes well in the new job Pete

I'm sorry Lucky, where did you say you've been again?

Wow, reading back I see that Luckless has been to Windsor Castle or something was it. I forget where now. Still fair play.

Oh, I've been to Buckingham Palace, Dreamer. It's a posh lady's house in London Town. Tidy-looking inside but you're not allowed to take photos, as a beefeater told my sister in no uncertain terms.

Some good news on Jennings here...

morning all: man i can't wait for the weekend when I can go back to the wilderness and lug the old man out for a few cold ones!! Should hopefully be getting my flag back tomorrow too so i can read all of your lovely comments and the ones some of you wrote to penfro

Roll on 5pm (please!!)

can someone explain to me how the links get embedded in the text?? like micks liast post "Some good news on Jennings here...." contains the link, its cool, just wondering how it works

Hughie, until you said he'd embedded the link in the text, I thought he'd just forgotten to add the link!

ah I get you now Lucky, just some lady's house then, still nice work that it was a posh one

Above the text box there are some buttons. The one that’s 2 to the left of the emoticon button is the link button. A small window pops up with 2 fields, the first one you put the link in, the second one you put the text in. press ok and it puts the code into the text box, then you just hit send. Simples!

Lucky, were you cutting the grass or making deliveries to this lady?

thanks mick

Rava, good work. Ididn't do so bad myself. Only enter Magners, and the Europeans
MAGNERS - 75.00% - 6th out 37 in Pub . (Globally 171 / 2191)
AMLIN – 78.46% - 10th out of 28 in Pub (Globally 229 / 1738)
HEINEKEN - 81.01% 2nd out of 48 in Pub (Globally 33 / 6611)

Rava, I was watching the posh lady give my dad a fancy badge - I'm guessing they used to date or something. I managed to pocket some nice trinkets for myself on the way round though

Blue Peter Badge?

Just joshing - congratulations to your dad!
