Introduce yourself!

First topic message reminder :

A warm welcome to the rugby members of this board.

However, you found us, it doesnt matter!

If you are an old 606er, then let us know who you were. If you have found us by some other means - tell us a bit about yourself.

So get mingling people!

Facts can be wumming if the intention is to wind someone up.

I think you've got lying and wumming mixed up

Cheers for all the welcomes looks like a very well put together site for all those involved in making it!

Cheers for that greybeard was suspecting he'd ended up here somehow!!

Also any chance your a relative of the yet unseen greyghost?!

None whatsoever, I've just checked my knuckles for drag marks.

Hi all, nice to see plenty of regs on here from t'other place.

Posted on 606 for a few years as pjholybloke, I'm not Holy - it's just my surname, sort of, and was regularly referred to as pjholierthanthou.

Played rugby for over 20 years at school and club level, spent most of that time as a devastatingly average 7, and have a deep love for Bath and England and an on-the-side kind of thing for Connacht as me Mam's a Galway lass. I get down to The Rec when work allows, but have never had the pleasure of The Sportsground.

I'm looking forward to the World Cup in September, and fancy Ireland to turn up for this one.

Oh, and I'm also a serial pedant, for which I could make insincere apologies were I that way inclined.

Game on.

I'm Red_Dragon_Spirit from ye' old' 606, and ye' even' older' ScrumV.

Nice to see the old pub has moved and the regs still all sat around drinkin!

all round

Repeated wumming wasn't it?

Nope. Posting facts isn't wumming unless you don't like the facts.

It's amazing everyone didn't have their accounts removed on a regular basis then.

PJ, Notting, Red_Dragon - welcome to the board, tis good to have you here

Cheers for the Red Dragon, with that generosity you should pop into the pub thread

Hence I didn't have my account deleted for wumming.

Rugbydreamer , it all looks good in the hood, home-from-home but without the over-sensitive Beeb censorship and so far very little in the way of BS posts.

That it does PJ, and that's the way, hopefully, it's going to stay

I guess a lot of that will depend on the rest of the community... but here's hoping.

Tell me, can OPs arbitrarily delete comments on their posts on this forum?

Erm... as far as I'm aware I don't think they can.

Hello, my name is Sin é (which is Irish for 'Thats it') and I'm a Munsterfan (as if you needed to be told that!). As I'm from Tipperary, I'd also be very fond of my hurling as well. Great weekend last weekend - Munster beat Leinster and Tipp beat Cork.

I posted on the old BBC 606 for the last 4 years or so. This looks to be a nice place so I'll do my best to keep all those Leinster fans from losing the run of themselves. that I am.

No the only people who can remove comments are admins, mods and you can remove your own comments.

I found it wound the WUMs up even more when you deleted their comments and told them why you'd deleted them, but only after other people had read their posts

Thanks Cari.

Nottins, you're incorrigible...

PJHolybloke wrote:Thanks Cari.

Thanks. I think :-)

Ahoy-hoy!

To put it sweetly, I'm a student in Dublin who loves rugby union for what it is - a game. I'm slowly squeezing out the bias in me, but otherwise I'm an Irish supporter. Someday, I'd like to try my hand at refereeing.

Kudos to the moderators/administrators for their stellar work on this site. Hazaa!

Now, as soon as Zed gets here, the party will begin.

Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead....

Ketchup...



Ketchup.

Alas, my heart, all is not well.
The lady, luck herself departs,
To leave me, dubloons down,
Loins girded to the east wind.

Hi,

I'm a semi retired king of the internet. Went under a variety of names combinations of seabiscuit, lethal_majeed/seabiscuit/wales/henson and Peter Wheeler at various time on 606 over the last few years.

Main sporting interest are Rugby ( good inside links with Tigers and untill recently Leeds), cricket, MMA, and womens flat track roller derby.
Currently learning to ref, so respect me :P

Other hobbies are annoying the Welsh in a chummy endearing way, outing Mikeyphil accounts, getting lost in disused mines.

Peter is it good to be on board? Is it good to have you on board?

Let's all answer in the affirmative. EH?

Welcome Peter.

They let Ospreys fans moderate? I quit

ooh I bet theres a good story there

Both of our mods are Welsh, so watch yourself

I'm glad so many of the old 606's decent posters have chosen to come to 606v2.

I'm luckless_pedestrian and I took my name from a line in a Steely Dan song. I used to be etienne_lantier on 606 but people kept confusing me for a Frenchman so I had to change it, n'est-ce pas?

Ulster, Ireland fan. What else is there to say?

In your case Notch - LOTS

Luckless,
FFS,I'm French, and people believe I'm British

What's in a name?

Chef,are you not originally from England though?

I don't know what you mean man

Yeh,thomond,and still have that knee-jerk reaction from time to time;but I've lived more than half my life here,and am Franglais,but more French in my reactions than British.

Oh right,apologies then

T,
What's in a name indeed?

The Groove is In the Heart.

And its OK to be a Kerryman.

I go back to Britain,and go home to France

Gibbo,wash your mouth out with soap for that last bit! It's not as bad as being a Dub....

Mick am I correct in saying you support Les Bleus in test rugby? When you were growing up, did you support England? When was the tipping point?

Just curious- had a similar discussion with Gibbo during the soccer WC about his allegiances between the Netherlands and Ireland.

Hope you enjoy the new board. Hopefully the unfamiliarity for you all has now gone and you are all thinking how rudey poo 606 used to be!

I go back to Ireland and come Home to Nederland.

Hobo,
This place is starting to Rock and Roll man. Believe!

It is far better than 606.

P.S. Please send that parcel, as arranged - to...

Unfamiliarity? We have years of "previous" man. We "hate" each other.... in a nice way.

Sometimes though, you have to educate the kids... Take them out of their provincial boxes. It's an on-going Project.

notch. if you read my introduction, I support no national side, and have never done.
I do however follow the French national HB team, cos they are magnificent-but you'd have to watch a bit of HB to follow

I go back to work and come home to a face like a slapped a35e...

Fair enough Mick. I find these things very interesting! How people consider their national identity. It must be a nice luxury to enjoy test rugby without the stress

No stress,Notch. Club rugby is awful nervously, though. Try watching international HB;you like rugby, you'll love HB....I did/do

OOOOPs, sorry, didn't read your post correctly ,Notch.
I don't think I have a national identity, I'm from there, living here, speaking that, and getting along with all.Find me a flag to wave if necessary, but I don't need one.

PJ,
Chill, have some wine and play some music that makes you smile.

Sounds like a good way to be. Getting coverage of handball in the UK or Ireland is really hard. I've almost never seen the game played.
