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?

I actually don't I'm a fan of good music. I would listen to anything really.

Evening all.

Staggy, leave that salad alone. So far there have been 18 deaths across Europe associated with cucumbers.

9 women in Germany
5 women in Poland
3 women in Holland
and 1 man in Brighton

a fan of good music

Who isn't in their own mind?

Me too mate. I have my lads (your age) who keep me in choon. Some of my music bores me, never mind the rest of ye younguns.

Seriously T. What kind of music do you really like?

God be with the days, when we used crank up the Pub jukebox and educate each other.

for the music fans - we do have a music section:

Go on - broaden your horizons and leave the safety of the pub!

Ah, I've read back and see we have had a visitor.

Welcome, Custard :ale:

I see Lyn Jones has been appointed head coach at London Welsh. That should further cement the link the Ospreys have been trying to foster. I'll keep an eye on which of the fledgling Os gets loaned out to Welsh - one of the lads in the pub in Ealing is a LW member.

ummm, introduced me to this song - and this artist. It's just awesome:

I bought a whole album of the Hoff from Woolworths before it shut down. £3 for 14 covers - simply breathtaking.

Hobo man,You did tell us about it. Just checked it. I'll be all over that section.

Whilst I am on the subject of advertising, you might want to check out the movie cup that is running - please vote if you havent already. This week its best musical.

Lucky,
You're a lucky man to be pointed in the right musical direction by the Ummm,

Aaaw and then some.

I'm actually being serious when I say I will listen to anything! I'm partial to a bit of a jazz,comedy,pop,rock and even techno. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ul-cZyuYq4

This has to be one of the best albums of all time.

It was a shame ummm, decided not to migrate over to 606v2. He was a good 'un. But you never know, he could change his mind!

Okay, need outside counsel.

We are having a barbeque this Friday to mark the end of our first year. We are all inviting people from Uni to come. I'm not sure whose idea it was but it wasn't mine.

I've just been told that myself and another guy in the house have to organise the whole thing as the girls organised all the birthday things and we only did small jobs.

Firstly, we were never given a choice as the girls enjoyed doing that and took it upon themselves.
Secondly, I'm not sure how they delegate the responsibility to me considering it wasn't even my idea.
Lastly, I have an exam that finishes just 30 minutes before this BBQ is supposed to happen.

What should I do? Am I being selfish? Or do I have a right to be annoyed about this?

You should be annoyed. One,it wasn't your idea and two your exam is far more important than a shindig.

Munsty - I hardly see how they can expect you to organise everything when you won't actually be available for a few hours before the actual BBQ! Have you explained to them about your exam?

Oh would also like to point out that the girls in question finish on Wednesday so are completely free for nearly two days before the BBQ

Dreamer,

I'm not sure who was there when it was decided but the other lad just told me about it on FaceAche chat about 10 minutes ago.

Does anyone agree, that those 2 on the One Show should should be taken away?

Really bad. He's bad. But she needs electric-shock treatment.

Happy days.

Munsty - they should organise it. You have an exam and that takes priority, they should (hopefully) be able to understand that.

Munsty,
In the circumstances... maybe they are taking de pish no?

Is your mate free for it? Let HIM start it and then join it, after you finish the exam - like a Maestro.

Why don't you let the other fella do all the work and then claim credit? It is an easy solution!

Guess who's back! https://www.606v2.com/u2253

If they are serious about this, I'll do some early stuff the night before but I ain't doing anything before my exam.

Tell 'em to go an whistle. Politely of course.

You've got an exam, you've got to prioritise that really. The BBQ situation is secondary.

T,
You rock man. In my Top 10 Albums of all time.

Gibbo, I do my best not to watch the One Show. It's bad enough if I don't change channel before that godawful theme tune starts.

Munsty, if these girls are decent they won't mind at all when you explain to them that your exam means you can't organise the barbecue. And if they're not decent, take Notch's advice and tell them to go and whistle.

Alright all. Won't be in again till the weekend. On very limited mobile internet connection(not even 3G) and it's too slow. I know Stag and Munsty will miss me loads anyway, so I had to pop in and break to them the bad news of my absence. On a course for three weeks that I need to pass. It is a bit of a skullflipper.

As, well I think Brew is great, so there

Nottins, nothing wrong with sleeping on a carpet. You need to live a little. My parents stairs are very hard to climb at the best of times.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I think it just really annoyed me at first and I just needed some other input to help me calm down.

Munsty - perhaps by 'organise' they mean buy the stuff. Even that might be unreasonable depending on how many people are attending. And these things can take on ever expanding numbers if people publish it in fizzbok. Make sure that doesn't happen.

There is room for negotiation here I feel. Maybe do the stuff that can be prepped the night before (e.g. marinading), but they will sort out anything that needs doing on the day (e.g. salad prep).

Then you only need one responsible person to light the damn thing and it will be as near as ready to go by the time you get there. Oh, and get pitta bread - takes >1 minute to do them on a barbie.

Failing that, fly de chef in

Hold on folks just need to have a rage moment here:



I hate my agency! I've just had an e-mail off them to say they've not received my rent that was due to come out on the 1st. Just checked my online bank account and it came out on the 1st! I've been with them for a year and never had this problem, why now!??! ARGH!

I have e-mailed them back to say that the money has left my account, and I will go and double check with my bank tomorrow. This is just something I do NOT want to have to deal with this pay month. Bah.

Right, feeling a bit calmer now, could do with an though.....

Its all about preparation Hound. Get the girls to do all the buying, cutting-up, marinading and all the normal girlie stuff. Then, let the men step in and do what the men do best. Talk bollix over the BBQ, like they have just gone out and hunted and killed for the stuff.

Its primeval... but Simple.

And remember... there will always be a Tesco's.

For Cari. And Dreamer. XX.

Dreamer,
Does this mean you are a month out or what? Did they phhok up at the bank?

Ha Gibbo that's actually what we did for our BBQ on Sat. My cousin and his friend were responsible for the BBQ itself and us girls just got all the salad stuff etc ready. Sorted.

And what a song diolch/thank you.

And I'm not sure what's gone wrong really. I think maybe it could be that because I've started a new year long contract the standing order has been messed up, but it's showing up as running till May 2012 so I don't think it can be that. But it definitely has left my account. Will just see what the bank says tomorrow. If anyone has messed up here though I'm betting it's the agency! I just don't want to have to pay my June rent again when as far as I'm concerned I've already paid it!!

And Munsty - a very easy to do starter is salsa dip, and I'm about to reveal my years old secret recipe. Actually, anyone could work this out.

Tinned tomatoes, 2 green chilis per tin, a small/medium onion, fresh coriander, salt and lemon juice (optional), tomato puree to 'hold it' a bit. Chuck that lot in a blender, or hack it all to bits and stir it up. Serve with tortilla chips or similar. Also has the benefit of there being something to nibble at if things are taking a while to cook.

Heck - fly me in

Good luck bud.

Gibbo - I'm disappointed you didn't like my song. I think I have good taste. I don't think much of Elbow. I think that song's been played to death everywhere, gets on my nerves now. Ah well, the world would be sheet if we all liked the same things.

Evenin Harrow. How's it going? Food sounds good.

Cleared the place again Car. Excellent.

What? I loved it actually. It hit the spot.

And I just played that Elbow song cos you and Dreamer were with me on a very special day. Just so glad I spent it with you two. That was the feeling behind it.

Man, things can get really get confused with wimmin. I should know that by now.

MrsG is in spasms. David Essex is the New Eastender!

Evening Cari. Trust me, I can do barbie stuff. Chicken tikka and lamb sheekh kebabs a speciality. Also barbie desserts.

1 Peaches and/or fresh pineapple slices with cinnamon. For the peaches, halve them, remove the stone and sprinkle the inside of the peaches with cinnamon. Put the halves of peaches back together. Wrap in foil and cook on the barbie for about 4 minutes. Just sprinkle cinnamon on both sides of pineapple and cook the same.

2 Bananas in butter and rum sauce. Melt the butter in a pan and mix in rum 'to taste' . Just about split the bananas length ways. Place on foil, pour over the sauce then wrap the foil round and cook for about 3 minutes.

Serve any of those with cream or ice cream for those who want it.

Right, that's got rid of that 'double post'. Loving the edit/eejit facility.

Ah is that who it is Gibbo? I thought he looked familiar!

The greyghost has turned up.


Tell him I have his account details and am in the process of withdrawing all of his funds (all £4.54 of them)

Cari,

I was around but didn't really have anything to contribute.

Hound,

Remember this is a student barbeque, so it will all be done on the dirt cheap. No lavish luxuries.

Re the BBQ - what exactly is there to organise.

BBQ - check
Food - check
Beer - check

Its not like you have to set tables, polish glasses. They may be inconsiderate but BBQs are easy. You say you have 30 minutes after your exam - what are you going to do with the other 25?

Ask yer Mam Dreamer. Most girls went silly at the mere sight of him - at that time.

Looks like aul Dave - at 63 - still has it.

And Hound, Im Cooke by name and nature. I do most all the cooking in our house. I love having lots of people round for a BBQ in the park or sitting down at home in big groups. Just love it. All the music, wine and food you like - spent with the people you really want to be with.

No gig compares.

Rev, heard that mobile reception is pretty poor just outside of Kandahar - good luck bro - Safe And Secure

I would say to save money Munsty, don't buy ready made burgers, just make your own, tis a lot cheaper.

Has he really, Hobo? I've always quite liked him. He stirs the pot, of course, but that's no bad thing.
