The Dew Drop Inn

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?

Hobo man, I noticed something on this site. Posts (on the right hand side User info) do not increment when online. Pedantic? Moi? It's just a database tweak you need.

We need a Hero on this. 8)

Cheers Rev. Really looking forward to seeing them. Listening to them now actually.

Rev,
You would be minded like Gold. Its just a brilliant rugby ground. Their fans are so solid and vocal. Like Dragons.

Oooh Djokovic! This is what top-level tennis is ALL about.

Hoi Cari.

Federer. You genius!

Risca Rev wrote:Hound, if we remain as second seeds (and I suspect we will as I doubt Stade will be booted out) my group would be Wasps/Sale, probably Lyon or Bordeaux and La Vila. As I probably only get two games before Afghan, I'd like the first game to be an away game (that isn't Wasps or Sale) and then Wasps home so I could welcome you to Dave.

Rev, S(U) Agen, Sorted

Enthralling stuff! Djok breaks Fed. Fed breaks Djok. And now this game is off the scale man! Fed breaks Djok again. High level stuff.

Said... As... Said...

Glamorgan playing 20:20 v Middlesex on S4C. Glammy 132/1 off 15.

Glas,
Is that code for something secret?

Oooh I get ya....

Alright Gibbo

So that's it then. Agen away, Wasps home.

Sold As Seen. Signed and Sealed.

Good day tomorrow for me sports wise. Watch Wales in the Millennium. Maybe watch England v Switzerland (if it's on) and watch Carl Froch in the early hours. I love it when boxing is on Sky Sports and not Box Office.

As,
What group do you want for the Chiefs?

Stirling of Ireland playing for Middlesex. Held in high regard by the S4C commentary (who include chaired Bards making up poetry about the match on the spot)

All right Cari? It's really warm & sticky here and it's only early June.. Are we there yet?

What will Chefs mid-Summer bash be like down in South France? In the 40's I'd say. Baked, pink, Paddy. Throw im on de baahbee

Fed wins an incredible match.

Yeah it's pretty stuffy here too. Nice for the weekend's cricket over the road I suppose.

I'll be sheltering away from it as usual 8)

Glamy 199/4 of 20. Game on.

Evening all. I managed to nap through the nice afternoon, and have just had a wee look around outside - so many interesting articles it's hard work catching up

It's almost like being on a rugby debating forum again Kiwi

Im not a big Sun-fun person myself Cari, but I prefer it to rain all the time. Fresh, clear and mid-20's in tha day - does me. And rain at night.

Ah Hobo. Ive just seen the Userid posts increment. It is done on a DB trigger of 4 or 5? Or time-based?

Doesenae matter.

Im just showing off.

Welcome back Kiwi. Yes, the debates really seem to be thriving now.

Gibbo - yes I like rain, or at least cooler if it's dry.

Just chatted to me sis. She's 40 on the 9th of July. I can't believe she's that age now. Doesn't seem like it.

Just watching my 1st X-Men filim. Love it. Halle Berry. She's... well... Id do her washin.

I wouldn't Gibbo. She can do it her blydi self!

Gibbo, I just thought....being as it's hot over there and over here...I hope when your package arrives it doesn't look as though I'd just shat in a bag and sent it

I just noticed on the Golf section, they're organising a meet up. Fab isn't it?

What? Did you send beer again? That didnt work out last time..

Is it me fav Welsh chocolade?

No, no beer....although your favourite siocled might resemble liquid poop by the time it gets to you.

Cari wrote:I just noticed on the Golf section, they're organising a meet up. Fab isn't it?

Copy-cats. :-)

That's nice. Sure, what is sport all about, if its not that? I went on a few "golfing" weekends meself...

I really like playing it, but not watching it. Except for the Ryder Cup, when we put the Yanks in their place. I like that.

Micky T might join their group and gate crash, he likes his golf. Keeps losing his balls though

Gibson wrote:Just watching my 1st X-Men filim. Love it. Halle Berry. She's... well... Id do her washin.

Its super isn't it. Picture Malcolm X and Martin Luther as Magneto and Professor X

As for Halle Berry its odd she doesn't do it for me. Can't figure out why she's clearly attractive just. . . .I dunno maybe its the roles she takes on. Just not for me.

Stag, you're like the one guy who doesn't like ice cream. How can you not like ice cream?

Lovely evening here, my flatmate cooked dinner, just sitting down to a nice wee dram of Asbo's finest Scotch

I have to be across town by 10am tomorrow morning for a netball tournament - it's going to be a scorcher on the courts, so not too much booze for me tonight. A good warm up for the semi-finals Tuesday too.

Mickado, congrats on the payrise.
Hughie, I couldn't fit that nice brunette into my carry-on baggage, but found something I think you'll like almost as much.

Stag,
I'd have a roll for her. It would involve a large amount of rope and tight leather suits. And She's de Boss!

Yeah, I know. I need to go see a priest. He'd know better.

Notch wrote:Stag, you're like the one guy who doesn't like ice cream. How can you not like ice cream?

Brilliant. Just... <dressedorange>

Hobo! I need a symbol for dress...

Finally home and the rents have got in cider and wireless network...sorted

Notch
Gibbo

Hoi Kiwi. Good to have you back man. Obviously, things will never be the same again. Now that you are... A Moderator! Would ya ever look at that big Blue Icon beside his moniker. Congrats man. It is fitting.

Good stuff, Prop.Its all a man needs really. Nearly.

Prop, nice going

Gibbo, cheers. I figured it's only appropriate for a kiwi to try and referee the breakdown while also contesting it

Just watching cricket on S4C . I recorded the Baabaas 1973 game earlier, will save it for Sunday arvo I think. I would have watched it "live" earlier but ceded control of the remote to my flatmate - the dinner she cooked was superb , just chicken, green beans and potatoes done really well

Have a look at Monster's Ball.

Just a thought... 2 of the 3 rugby Moderators came from the Pub.

Glas,
Big yes to Monsters Ball. There are very few actresses, in these bland days, that do it for me.. But, she is one of them. Latent duurtynessness and sheer beauty.
AND, she can act. Which is a plus.

Charlize Theron also.

So Fed won. 43 matches without defeat for Djokovic though (before tonight). That's good going.

I don't know why, but I'm starting to be a bit more confident about tomorrow. We only need Paul James to go okay on the tighthead. I think Bevington will do okay in the scrum and will show up well in the loose. I know they're only still photos, but it looks like Henson is doing okay in training ;-) (I'll clutch at any straw right now). The only definite weak link I see is Bennett.

Had to put the phone on charge for a bit (and pay some Scouser in the pub to 'mind it for me' ). Rev, if the new stand at Dave is ready next season I would love it if we drew the Dragons. It's a 50/50 shout between Dragons and Brive fron tier two for us as the other 3 teams are English.

Gibbo - I have provisionally booked off the Fri & Mon for chef's meet up. Need to check in with hughie & As about travel plans.

Charlize Theron is hot!!!

The new stand will be ready Hound. I saw it today and it's really coming along.

By the way, the mud behind the deadball line is where the pitch is being moved.

Am just watching last weekend's Scrum V.

George North is being interviewed. Coming across really well, seems a very level headed young man, has bundles of ability, I think he will go far. Could be a real star on the world stage in 2-3 years time.

"I figured it's only appropriate for a kiwi to try and referee the breakdown while trying to contest it."

Classic



Usual place tomorrow if you can stomach some NH rugby .

Hound, I'm looking at going to France too, need to get my new contract signed at work next week, and can make some proper plans.

I have a couple of NZ friends visiting over summer (one in July, one in Sept) so will need to save some leave there too.

Just had a look at the FB event a mate set up for Argentina vs NZ in Beunos Aires September 2012, and ex AB Ron Cribb has signed up to go. Could be a great trip.

Hound, cheers. Haven't actually tried out any of the fancy moderator superhero powers yet ...

I'm playing a netball tourney over in Islington tomorrow, then have to get to Hampstead for an engagement party in the evening so won't make the Wheatsheaf - pity as it should be a perfect day for hanging out there.

Gibbo, LDCP, I totally agree with you on the lovely Ms Theron

PS, Hound, did that photo link I emailed you work?

Rev - looking very nice down there at Dave .

I had a picture of how the stand would look from the views during the Blues game. It's gonna be better than I thought.

kiwi - no worries bud, and enjoy your weekend. If the new manager stays at the pub then Andy has him agreeable to open up for the Tri Nations early games.


The breakfasts are terrible though


Photos didn't seem to work so I'll try sendibg them to my other email box.

HOWEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSYYYYYYY!!!

Ah that's great lads. So defo Hound and maybe Kiwi at Chefs bash? I tell ya, its an event not to be missed.
Food, wine, beer, armagnac, more food, live music, great company. Its a mini Woodstock, imo.

Pete maaaaate, bring de kids and a big tent. Asbo does it. Kids loved it.

Im tenting it this year. Had a really nice place (with Penfro, Swanny, et al) bout 2 kms away and never made it back till early hours the next day. Slept in de car or under the stars at Chefs place.

Waste of muny.

It's blydi stuffy around here. Sweating like a piggy. Oink!

Signing out folks. Head wrecked from work, beers got nowt to do wi'it.







Honest.
