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?

Ah Cari, I bet that was a really good one.

One thing I find that stops me reading/writing/listening to things as much as I would like is the blydi internet! The amount of time I spend on here is really v bad. I keep trying to cut down but can't seem to manage it. I'm sure I'd be much more productive without it.

Dreamer I agree entirely. It worries me a great deal.

WALES - THE 2011 RWC WINNERS STORY
A fantasy by Penfro Pete

"I was there when Wales won the Webb Elliss trophy, Sunday 23/10/2011 , avenging their 15-21 loss to Namibia in the pool stages, beating the Welwitschias 47 - 23 in a 6 try romp. THE END"

Do I win ?

I'm keenly aware of that too, Dreamer. The evening's come and gone sometimes and I've been on the laptop the whole time.

You write the most imaginative fiction Pete.

It really is a bit of a problem with me. Like I've got my writing book open right besides me but I'm still logged into here.

Going to have to see if I can go a couple of evenings a week without the internet, the fact that I know I'm going to find that hard is not good at all!

On another note, I've just tuned into Stage of Origin on Sky Sports for the match between New South Wales and Queensland...it just confirms to me that I really don't like league!

Penfro - I love that story, you get my vote

Dreamer I found I did my best writing in Ghana - no internet, no tv. Just books and writing. I wrote pages every day - writing what I saw and just random stuff. And I read so many books.

Stag - yeah I always write more when I'm at home. The computer's a pain to log onto (not because it's slow, just because the room it's in at home is freezing ) and we don't have all that many channels on the tv there. Plus I'm right out in the countryside so just can go for a walk up the mountain, sit down and just write. I love it.

I'm been ordered (which I don't mind!) home next weekend now as well so will hopefully get some done then. Got the Cwmdu fete on the Sat (that's the village next door to mine) and having a family meal on the Sunday. Can't wait

I'm not bad with the internet at home because I find myself doing other things. I think sometimes I'm quite anti-social on the internet cause I don't say much but lurk more.

ah I'm a lurker too Cari a lot of the time.

And hoooray the sky engineer man has finally turned up, finally going to get phone and internet installed

I use the internet for watching iPlayers and downloading things anyway more than social networking.

I think people are becoming over social on the internet. My Dad actually signing up to facebook today. He sent me a request. Strange he never told me.

to be fair I only really use the internet to come on here, the book of face and to watch sport. I used to be a part of quite a few writing sites in my teens but have stopped that now.

Stag - ha my Mam signed up on fbook and tried to add me as a friend. She didn't stay on it long though, really not her thing.

HUZZAH FOR THE LURKERS!

ha, I'll second that Radge

My dad's on Facebook. All he does is lurk. Never posted a thing.

Quite a few members of my family are on Facebook and I refuse to add them as friends. They can't find me easily anyway...

Can someone turn this into a article?

http://www.premiershiprugby.com/premiership/news/27766.php

If you think its newsworthy of course!

Hobo - that link won't open for me for some reason (could be work's server).

Sean Bean - he's 52 but I still would.

Cari wrote:Sean Bean - he's 52 but I still would.

Quite a revelation.

Ah dreamer your wrong, Origin is a spectacle well worth a watch, its so quick, just don't understand when they the ground

Cari wrote:Sean Bean - he's 52 but I still would.

Didn't he get stabbed the other day?

Cari wrote:Sean Bean - he's 52 but I still would.

So would I! (although admittedly he has aged quite badly in the last few years).

A the days when he was Major Richard Sharpe......

Or Boromir!

Dreamer - na he looks good considering he's had four wives...

Staggy - Simon Le Bon's 53 and I would too, although he needs to ditch the beard. Doesn't look good.

Thomond - apparently so, but Bean's hard as nails so he was OK

Ah yeah I am still watching it, enjoying it a bit more this 2nd half. Disgusting amount of high tackles going in though.

ha Stag, never knew he was your type

I confess in those films whilst he was very yummy I got distracted by a lot of the other men!

And speaking of older men, I quite like Liam Neeson too.

hughie1986 wrote:Just don't understand when they the ground

Jason Robinson was the worst for that!

Hobo, could you stop tweeting articles I write to people on twitter? It makes me feel uncomfortable.

How did I get embroiled in this conversation

Dreamer - has Neeson had some surgery? He looks like he's had some work done around the eyes. That's what puts me off him these days (if he has), but when I saw him in Michael Collins in the cinema yonks ago he looked scrummy tho.

I saw Seany Bean in a crepe remake of The Hitcher the other night, he looked tasty in that even though he was playing an evil character.

Staggy - ah you enjoy it...we had a nice chat about Wally once

You might want to flag that up in a PM too Notch in case he misses the post

Lets move it onto females. I'm a Mila Kunis fan personall

red_stag wrote:Lets move it onto females. I'm a Mila Kunis fan personall

Boooooooooooooooooo!

I can't help you there...I've not even heard of that woman. At least it's not Cheryl Cole or someone predictable like that.

Cari - ah he probably has, I still think he's yum though. He looked pretty good in the new A-Team film!

And Bean is class at playing an evil character! Love it

Cari - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mila_Kunis

REALLY don't like Cheryl Cole. I like brunettes. Gentlemen don't prefer blondes its a lie!!

Stag,she is stunning and not a bad actress either.

No she's not at all which helps things too. Hard to get both.

Cheryl is dark Staggy - haven't you seen her do the hair swish on the Loreál adverts?

I tell you who I think looks great these days is Jennifer Lopez. She's not a stick insect either which makes a change.

Cari wrote:Cheryl is dark Staggy - haven't you seen her do the hair swish on the Loreál adverts?

Yea but she's also a Flip muppet. Its the way she comes across that makes her less attractive in my eyes.

Speaking of eyes, a good set of eyes is great. 3 kinds that I really like. Bright blue eyes. Cheeky green eyes. Seductive brown eyes. I'm a sucker for all three.

Three eyes? That'd be weird Staggy

Just read Mila's Wiki page. Do you notice how Eastern Europeans sometimes Anglicise their names a bit? My mum did that when she moved over here too.

Hmm, Mila Kunis.

Stag doesn't like Halle Berry which to me is like the one guy you meet who doesn't like chocolate or ice cream or something. And nobody can quite understand it

I like blondies tbh, Yvonne Strahovski / Kathrine Jenkins are 2 of my deepest crushes..... add to that Rachel Reily from countdown......

Its true alright. My girlfriend says that she'll introduce herself as Natalia. However if people call her Natalie she's ok with it.

Afternoon all

Question for dreamer, Glas or any of the Welsh contingent actually.

What is Ed Siggery like as a player, we've just signed him from the Scarlets?

Ta

Staggy - easily done as those names sound similar. I suppose that actress did it to get into Hollywood films.

Pete - I think Glas/Dreamer's probably your best bet to answer that.

Don't mention Sharpe. All they show on Yesterday now is Sharpe, Catherine Cookson drama and the Antiques Roadshow. It used to be a documentary channel once upon a time!

Pete, he got himself sin-binned against the Baby Blacks yesterday for tipping over one of their wingers after the whistle had gone. That's all I can tell you about him!

ah is that who that was Lucky?

Pete - can't say I know too much about him, don't recall him playing for the Scarlets so he must have just been more a Llanelli player. Sorry I'm so little help! Am sure Glas will know more.

And I Sharpe, can't help it, have got myself the box set and everything!

Also just set up my Sky broadband, tis soooo fast, no more rubbish internet off the dongle for me!
