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?

OMG!!!! WALLY IN LYCRA!!!

Drooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!

haha Cari, control yourself! Tis a very nice pic though....

Jebus I think I got pregnant just staring at that piccie

Unable to calculate the number of gigs I've put on, let alone been to, but the last one I went to,don't laugh,cos they're pals, Status Quo, were flogging programmes for 10 yoyos, and they were being snapped up:youmake your money where you can

Whatsmore,the concert was in France, the programme in Ingleeesh

You should go. The real rule of thumb for music is if you don't know anything about it- go to it.

I've been to everything from Drum n Bass nights to Irish Trad. Sessions, Free Improv to Pop-Rock, Free Jazz to BeBop, African Acapella Choirs to State-funded orchestras, experimental electronica to folk nights, intimate acoustic nights to full-blown stadium gigs, HipHop to Blues Rock, Baroque chamber music to cutting edge Acousmatic concerts.

You NEED to do that to figure out the fullest exent of who you are musically and what you react to most strongly. I've been to so many gigs I have hated and those are the ones that have been most important in my development as a musician and as a listener. We aren't born knowing how to listen to music you know- it's a lifelong learning process.

So get involved! Break open the dam that contains all the infinite possibilities the world of music holds and drift away on the wave. You live but once! So make it a good time

Music, like Life - is a learning process. It all is. Its a wonderful thing if you let it in, give it a listen and always keep open to new experiences and possibilities. Immerse yourself in it. And keep and cherish the bits you like. You can only fully realise those, if you try and taste everything else 1st though. I love it all. Well maybe except Celine Dion.

Yay seen more than one over and it's pretty clear!!

With regards to gigs I go to as many as possible from festivals to underground punk and dubstep nights!!

My brother loved going to gigs he went to many over the years but that would probably explain his dependence on hearing aids in his late 30s

Oh I've been to my fair share of all sorts of gigs, just not a classical concert. To be honest I'd feel a bit strange going to one of them on my own; but other gigs are OK to go to alone or with company.

Last gig I went to was a evening with Pam Ayres never again it was nothing but filth.

Interesting step by the Georgian Rugby Union.

MBTGOG are articles like that not better placed on the main forum it will just get drowned in here ?.

Cymro man,
You really need to get out more.

I thought Pam Ayers was dead.

luckless_pedestrian wrote:I thought Pam Ayers was dead.

Maybe that's why it was a stiff performance. It would be hard to tell with her. Dunno.

The smell would be a giveaway. Also, parts of her face would be falling off.

Is / was Pam Ayers really that rude, Cymro? I've heard some of her stuff and it's risque in a saucy postcard sort of way, but nothing obscene. Maybe her hardcore stuff never made it onto the telly.

Cymro,
Its official. You are a sarcastic Welsh tart.

You are awful. But I like you...

This is the song that brings it back home...

Speaking of sarcasm... see the Frogs? Masters. Original... Masters. Check their movies.

Bonsoir mon amant Rosbief/Francais.

Pour toi. <armagnac>

Le masters of musical-perfection.

I really like that, Chef, it's a new one on me. I'll have to investigate beyond 'Joy of a Toy'

In other news, I got my holidays granted for the trip to France, its all coming together now.


Have the little matter of a trip towards Bollington on the 9th of July to contend myself with first though, which is going to be superb

Alright buoys and gulls

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but what the f&*% were the replacement licensees thinking of...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/wales/8587445/In-Wales-mind-your-language.html

I did see this story a few days ago. I had no problem ordering my cwrw in Cardiff last Friday .

And no one told me where I should park my chariot

Gibbo,back at you,your favourite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkENeuzVtUM

what have the frogs done,I only heard about the Tadpoles exploits?

Hey Hughie,it's looking good for August,illustrious personalities coming

I wish I could afford to go over for the Chef-bash.

The Dan are awesome, aren't they?

Luckless,you need to get to an airport around here,Toulouse,Bertgerac,Bordeaux, the rest is easy peasy,ask the others

Chef & Lucky. Its so nice that ye guys talked in the Diff on the way to The Final. Its obvious on here since.

Sorry(not really), but Im a hippy, I notice these things. Niiiiiiiiice.

Be great if you could come Lucky. Love de cut of yer jib man. So does De Chef.

I haven't looked at the pricing of things properly - I'll do some research!

I was going through my closet recently and found a heap of old ones with some pretty enjoyable games - Munster v Gloucester (Miracle Match) being one - but I found myself thinking what a waste of money

I buy a programme for every game I attend where possible. I don't keep any of them. I've a couple of friends who are collectors. I'm like Notch I need something to read at half-time. Kept the one and the ticket from the first game at New Landsdowne for a good friend. He was made up when I gave it to him. Bless him.

Evening all. Won't mention names cause I will forget someone. Mustn't forget Miss Cari's burfday this weekend. I'll treat myself to a bit of and a small glass of champers.

Just watching BBC News. I used to blame dem Irish for this financial climate in the EU... But now... I can blame dem feicin Greeks!

Serious Poopie. Its like a high stack of cards... waiting to fall.

They were explaining how Greece's problems are going to affect the UK on Channel 4 news this evening and I just couldn't understand it. But I know it's not good at all.

Is there any truth that Greek men grow a moustache so they can look like their mother

Evening Gibbo. Are you standing on that aul soapbox again?
Evening Lucky and Chef. (Note to Hobo. We need a Chef smiley)

Ah chef I'm dying for this trip, never been to this part of France and from what I heard of last year its going to be massive, who's confirmed?? Apart from the hippy in the corner, Asbo Pete and myself??

Basically, the UK and other country's banks, have a lot of shekels invested in Greece and in its future. They default... then Portugal... and maybe Spain now.. Confidence in the Euro drops.That Poopie spreads round the World.International banks playing hardball with each other. Markets go doo-lally. For the UK, it gets worse. 40% of ALL business is done with the EU.

We are a bit more phhoked if you like. Really phhoked.
Unless the Germans and French come to the rescue. Along with Britain. Its in all their greater-interests, to do so.

As, could explain it better. But that's it really. I reckon.

Evening All Isn't technology grand? Just speaking to you live from my bed. I'm recovering from the Wally-in-lycra picture....

Rava - awh that's nice you eat the cake and swig the champers for me My birthday will be fab anyway - U2 on the telly Friday night and the Dubs winning on Sunday

I tweeted the Dylan Hartley thread to Dylan himself and he answered the question as to his eligibility - what a top guy!

I posted it on the thread.

I dont actually think it was - someone was questioning how different sources said different things. Good on him.

Ah right. I only read the latter few posts and saw the usual arguements hence I suspected it was another stirrer.

Howya Gibbo

Nos Da Lucky.

Im grand Cari. How's yerself darlin?

So. I hear yer eating loadsa cake in the office now, is it Cari?

I'm grand Gibbo.

Cakes just seem to appear in this other place I'm working in. Someone's always bringing them in. Really good bunch of people there though. I wouldn't be disappointed if I got moved there permanently, but who knows where I'll be in a few months.

The nine o'clock starts have been weird. I seem to have a lot of time in the morning before actually starting work.

I'm good thanks Gibbo

I'm still working. Although I'm ready for home any time now.

835 Post already mate. You need to get a job mo chara. You know it makes sense
