The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Thu 23 Jun 2011, 12:56 pm

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? appletini

That Paul Heaton has a horrible voice.

by WillyGilly Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:05 pm

The power of Serena. 3 games points down. Gets to deuce. Then breaks to win. Brilliant.

by Rava Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:05 pm

My first seamless transition from one pub to the next. Excellent.

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:06 pm

What a second game in the second set.

Halep was 40-15 up, Serena dug in and got to advantage, then played a poor shot to take it back to deuce, then a stunning shot to go advantage up again and forced Halep into an error to take the game and go 2-0 up.

Great tennis.

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:07 pm

Some stunning tennis from both of these girls now in this match. The point that Halep just won was superb!

The Rugby World Title. Got 2003-2007 done!

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:10 pm

3-0 Serena now.

Soderling v Hewitt about to start on centre court.

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:13 pm

After a superb first set from Halep, she has just shown a little chink of a weakness this set, and Serena, like the champion she is, is absolutely all over it and raising her game.

She now has 2 break points to go 4-0 up.

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:15 pm

Great fightback from Halep to win the game, 3-1 Serena now.

Can't believe I missed the donut talk. Having experienced Krispy Kreme and Tim Hortons fresh(yes I'm one of those langers who brags about the things they've done Wink

) I got to plump for Krispy Kreme. Dunkin' Donuts however could take the victory. People wonder why Americans are so fat.When you have at least 5 restaurant chains devoted to donuts(those are ones I can think of!) and a further 23 devoted to frozen deserts (thank you Wikipedia) It's no wonder!

by WillyGilly Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:46 pm

Williams cruising now.

Soderling Hewitt looking like a cracker.

by Guest Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:47 pm

Mick - ace, just a heads up, waiting to hear if my friend is actually getting tickets to a festival in August, if she's not, I might very well be looking to coming to France Smile

Cheers for the updates in the tennis Pete. The Williams sisters are just something else when it comes to a grand slam tournament. Never give up.

by **Notch** Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:48 pm

If only UK had petrol station delis Munsty. We're culturally miles ahead of them here.

This! They are superb. Don't know why, but when I moved to Scotland aged 11 there were no delis and then, somewhere along the line, Belfast became full of convenience stores with delis. Don't even know how it happened.

Probably at the same time all of those Centra shops sprung up over Belfast overnight.

by prop_lyd Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:49 pm

Marker! Pete: has williams joined her brother in the next round then?!

by **Notch** Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:52 pm

These girls makes some weird noises when she hits the ball. I like women's tennis, but why the bedroom noises?

by Guest Thu 23 Jun 2011, 1:55 pm

tis an on going issue in the women's game Notch.

I don't mind the whole screeching stuff if it's actually obvious it's because they're putting in a lot of effort in the shot.

Sharapova is awful because she does it from the off, regardless of the shot's she's making, it drives me nuts.

The Williams sisters are pretty bad at it too, but they tend to only do it at really crucial parts of the match.

Whether it's tactical or not....

There’s a rugby league section?!

Nah, if I wanted to mindless wind up people on the internet I’d go onto youtube! Pretty much any comment on there is a damning example of human behavior!

by Thomond Thu 23 Jun 2011, 2:27 pm

Is it better than planking? (Which I think is the dumbest thing ever btw)

In fairness, I would have to delete the post. But I'd be laughing while I did it.

by Mickado Thu 23 Jun 2011, 3:14 pm

Just putting together the wish list for my pad. Was wondering if anyone knows anything about media players?

http://www.acryan.com/product/playonhdessential/specifications/

does this look any good? (I know very little) it’s €70 which looks like a good price for what I’m getting but I’m not sure…

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu 23 Jun 2011, 3:15 pm

You'd be the Laughing Deleteman, Kiwi!

<tumbleweed>

by Thomond Thu 23 Jun 2011, 3:17 pm

Don't know much about them Kado but it looks very good and at a very good price. If you have a HD ready tv then full HD could be brilliant for Blu Ray.

by red_stag Thu 23 Jun 2011, 3:24 pm

Mick - I can't open it in work. What do you want to do with it and what can it do?

Also do you ever use Ibood? Its a great website. Every day they have a product for sale one the cheap. But its only 1 product and its only available for 24 hours or it sells out whatevers fastest.

by Mickado Thu 23 Jun 2011, 3:25 pm

I’m not sure what the story with a tv is yet.

The ideal situation would be that from my computer I could download straight to an external harddrive and play that movie on my tv without going near my computer. But I think I would need to set up a home network, and I’m not bothered to get into all of that!

This thing seems to do most of that, the only difference being I would download to my pc, transfer it to the player, then play it on my tv…

by Mickado Thu 23 Jun 2011, 3:40 pm

Stag, it’s a media player pretty much like the one on the Irish page of Ibood today.

Great website by the way, I’m bookmarking that.

by red_stag Thu 23 Jun 2011, 3:47 pm

Do bookmark it Mick. Every now and then they have a gem of a product.

by Mickado Thu 23 Jun 2011, 3:50 pm

This is a gem of a thing, I’ve one ordered. It’s essentially a slanket with a hood. And you kinda look like a jedi in it…

I considered it Mick, but given that i would put it on when i'm acting like a slob and eating chocolate on the couch i felt that brown would hide the stains Wink

Dreamer, it's exactly what you think it is!

by Suspicious lurker Thu 23 Jun 2011, 4:10 pm

So rava is coming to.France!!! That'll do

It's going to get so fricking messy its going to be great

Anyway watching Soderling v Hewitt at the minute, Hewitt went into a two set to love lead but soderling won the third and its 4-4 in the fourth but soderling is looking the better player now

by Mick(TEFC) Thu 23 Jun 2011, 4:13 pm

5-4 Soderling,but Hewitt's got new balls Whistle
