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?

ha I'd already spotted that Hobo!

I remember reading that, Hobo. He must have been joking or he wouldn't have signed up here.

And the poster you're quoting there is... majesticimperialman. ;-)

Give him another chance. Remember grudges from the old site must be forgotten.

I hear what you're saying, Munsty. Let pylons be pylons.

Hobo,
Will you have my babies man?

If only Life could be "edited" like this.
Be so phhokin handy that.

well said Munsty

I am not holding grudges, I am just looking forward to rubbing his nose in it! There was a particularly nasty poster called Dagath on 606 who made all kinds of allegations (I think he was a league fan).

a dish best served cold?

Hobo,

If you rub his nose in it, then you're giving people licence to hold the grudges they had before.

In fact, this Pub was built on pretty sound foundations on the old, mad Wild-West 606. And one of its premises was.. dont speak ill of anyone outside it.

Otherwise... it is hypocrisy personsified.

Im deleting my last statements... in 10 seconds.

Of course I am not going to. I would like to think you all know me a little by now.

Whats that you do? And that is why you think I would?

Balls to the lot of you!

What goes on in the pub, stays in the pub. Like Vegas but the pub is more Elvisy

oh my blydi God, talk about a Poopie evening.I've just discovered that my boiler has stopped working! no hot water left for me to have a shower, this is so very very Flip Poopie.

Hobo,
I still want yer babies darlin.

Easy now.

Cold showers. Hmmmmm. I like cold showers.

Dreamer,
Have you checked the pilot-light? May just be that. Hold it down/open for 30 secs and relight it. Its all I can offer. Sorry pal.

Ah we've got an electric boiler Gibbo. Had someone out a few weeks ago to look at it and he fixed one of the thermostats and it's been working fine since then. What I don't get is that the warning light isn't on, there's just no hot water

Am in a proper grump now so am going to sign off for the evening, no point being in here while I'm in a foul mood!

So nos da/ good night folks, and speak to you on the morrow.

Aha, electric boiler. Dont have much call for them over here. All natural gas. It is most likely the thermostat again. Call yerman out again.

In the house I'm in at the moment, if anything goes out, the fuse box is down in the cellar. That's really helpful except for the fact that we're locked out of that.

That did make me giggle, hope it sorts itself out for you though dreamer

Ah, Gibbo/Cari - I know it's a student barbie, but summer's here and barbies are mentioned. I just get all enthusiastic and kind of creative.

The thing is, for not much money you can do a great barbie.

In other news, Scarlets' Ben Morgan has almost certainly declared for Wales. Apparently he was offered a place in the Saxons squad and turned it down. Apologies if this is old news.

I would not blame him for turning down a Saxons cap maybe it would be a different story if England offered him a full cap.
It would be tragic if a Saxons cap was his one and only cap he is keeping his options open.

Rumours that the Chiefs will shortly announce the signings of Gonzalo Camacho from Quins and Peter Short from Bath

What do you make of those signings As?

Who'd have thought hardiness is a proper word and maintains an important role in the psychology lexicon?

Hi Cymroglan. Fair play to Morgan; he appears to be going with his heart (i.e. where he has been brought up). I think he may offer more to England as he matures than Jordan Crane, who I once rated highly. Good luck to him - a promising player.

MBTGOG wrote:Who'd have thought hardiness is a proper word and maintains an important role in the psychology lexicon?

Moi. You need it to survive. Let alone stay sane.

Hi HH yes he is a very promising player and I for one do hope he opts for Wales but if he does play for the country of birth who could blame him.
He has a very tough decision to make and he will need to make it quite soon I think.

Gibbo,

I understand the meaning of it and it's role but I'm purely talking about the word which seems so unscientificky (that surely isn't a word!).

And just reading the report of Canada's win over Italy A in the Churchill Cup. Canada's star player was Chauncey O' Toole. Take a bow for that name

Cymro - it wouldn't have been a difficult decision for young Morgan imo. He has learned all his rugby in Wales. We'll take any old mongrel though

Muggle In the fiction of J.K. Rowling: a person who possesses no magical powers. Hence in allusive and extended uses: a person who lacks a particular skill or skills, or who is regarded as inferior in some way.

Blamestorming A method of collectively finding one to blame for a mistake no one is willing to confess to. Often occurs in the form of a meeting of colleagues at work, gathered to decide who is to blame for a screw up.


Gaydar A homosexual person's ability to identify another person as homosexual by interpreting subtle signals conveyed by their appearance, interests, etc.


Grrrl A young woman regarded as independent and strong or aggressive, especially in her attitude to men or in her sexuality.


Threequel The third film, book, event, etc. in a series; a second sequel.



CyberslackingSpending one's employer's Internet and email facilities for personal activities during working hours.


Some strange words in the modern dictionary.

Right. All the lambs vaccinated. Knackered now and off to bed.

Gibbo, the Greeks may not have invented it, but they added a certain panache.

The Welsh are either the Italians in the rain or the Irish who couldn't swim, depending on who you talk to. Actually we Brythons with a strong assimilation of outside influences, especially in the last two centuries and have the oldest living language in Europe.

And we love running rugby. A 15 man attack. Blood and thunder, a silky smooth outside half general and a few pints of warm flat bitter ale.

If portnoys comes in Cari, tell him there's a behind the bar for him from me.

Nos da.

Night all

Get him to give you a ring 30 mins before he gets here.

Really good signings Asbo

Camacho is a good player, always threatening.

Aye, used to play for Glasgow. His mate Van Der Merwe got him the gig. Wasn't particularly impressive for them.

Jebus, I bet he got a few sniggers from the Firhill brigade. Could have been a character in a Bond movie, but 'Plenty' got that gig.

Err, hang on a minute.

Hi all, Hughie some man for the papers!!

Booked a holiday to Sicily for end of August start of September

It was good to see Gibson hanging around the media section last night! And he picked some good albums to take with him - bizarrely enough I was listening to one of his favorite albums yesterday (Van Morrison) as well!

Munsty, not sure tbh, Camacho was impressive especially in the second half of the season and Short would bring considerable ballast with him, but neither confirmed yet. Usual breakfast for me pls:

I wonder Asbo do you eat the same for breakfast in real life.

Breakfast for me too:

Sadly not every morning

Sadly not indeed. Asbo something we touch on another thread. The attendances of Glasgow/Edinburgh. Do you think this resting players thing they are doing is playing a role.

You'd get eggbound if you had the Asbo breakfast every day, wouldn't you? Good word, that: eggbound.

Bore da pawb / good morning all. Rain in Newport this morning, but I like the rain

I do sometimes too.

Best breakfast I ever had was the morning after my wedding - had a TBone steak.

Hobo wrote:Best breakfast I ever had was the morning after my wedding - had a TBone steak.

Incredible

Not only that - it had all the trimmings too! Onion rings, eggs and chips.

Its been downhill ever since. The breakfasts have been poor too.

Ha, I don't think I could tackle steak for breakfast - but seeing as it was the morning after your wedding night, a) you wouldn't have got much sleep and b) you'd need to replenish your energy levels
