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?

Now we're cooking diesel !!!

Hey Notch where you for in Donegal sir? If you want a weather update it's p*ssing down in the NW

Me too. Such a great sound to open an album with.

Notch - that's why U2 changed direction in 1989 and came back with Achtung Baby because they knew they were becoming too stadium rock. And it's one of their best albums.

Hey Glas mate. Are you a fan of Willie then?

Bono makes yet another statement.

Bless im.

Aye I know Gibbo he's trying, still haven't seen coverage of the apparent mass protest during u2's set, maybe aunty beeb is avoiding it!

Achtung baby is a masterpiece.

It's pishing down in Somerset too!

I WILL FOLLOW!!! OMG!!! this is an old old song.

Glas a du wrote:Is he going to do an Andy Williams impression?

No. The Pet Shop Boys did a cover of Streets and mixed it with "Can't take My Eyes Off You" which bono loved. He's referencing that.

No I'm in Derry/Londonderry(depending on who's asking ). Big opening of that peace bridge tomorrow.... know donegal pretty well though with it being just up the road. You been up that way before Notch?

Achtung Baby, was their best album for me. They opened up to each other and checked their direction. Let the "Blues" in. Had no interest in them up to that. Having Brian Eno on board... does help.

Oh FFS!!!! Had to turn over to BBC4 and am missing the set!

I am (and I'm perfectly in tune with my sexuality and all like).

Best thing about show jumping, three day eventing, polo etc. is the fillies. Went to a polo match last year on the Gower and they bussed in the finalists of Miss Swansea to 'mingle'.

Give me a Welsh Cob or an Arabian and the rest can Flip off.

Feic that finished suddenly. What we goin talk about now?

Horse jumping?

He's good though. Really good. In fairness. Mingle. Yes.

Notch, I've said it before but Running to Standstill is probably my favourite U2 song. The song part that they did in Chicago was unreal. The only thing that put me off a bit was the thing they did at the end with the girl speaking. That's maybe a bit naughty to say. But that version of the song was unreal.

Anyone know what channel it's gone to?

I love Running To Stand Still. One of their best.

Rodders, i'm still watching bits on red button so try that?

roddersm wrote: Anyone know what channel it's gone to?

BBC 4 until 11:05 then it's back on BBC 2

BBC4

What you're looking for is a shedload of cash.

Thanks Cari. Just switched to BBC4.

Hey Rodders, nay bother. Whatever floats yer boat. Used to work in the Maiden City mate. Love the place. Up there every Wednesday.
Lovin' what they are doin with my old workplace.

Yeah, a few times. Love Donegal. Love the beaches, love the place. Wouldn't know it that well. Have no head for names or locations.

My brother will be hoping this weather keeps up for sure. Sick of the LA sunshine for the last year.

I LOVE this next song Stay: Far Away So Close. I wept when they did this in Cardiff! I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Boy,War,Fire and J tree for me,but there again I date

still have no live stuff

Mick - the early stuff is class too. October is my fave earlier album.

I liked that Batman one they did with cartoons.

Evening Mick(Chef). Have to say I am a massive Paul Simon fan. Mind I love most music.

Really enjoying U2 tonight.

I just pressed the Red Button and some weird Welsh Genie, looking for a club - just appeared in the room.
What do I tell him? He promised me an Italian. One of his dancing cast-offs?

Should I lie about the club?

Ah sorry gibbo that may be me painted blue

To be honest the atmosphere when I saw the verve at glasto is unbeatable!!

And now Bono gets into the whole stuff i don't like him for!! Although must admit this is a tuneeeeeee

Glas a du wrote:I liked that Batman one they did with cartoons.

cartoons or costumes?

Yeah it's nice Notch, great beaches and more importantly great that way. Wee spot of surfing maybe?

Forecast good for tomorrow but it's been pretty grim this way lately with the weather. Have a good one!

Prop - have you been to Glasto? When was that?

Yo! They've got NASA space station on the telly!!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome, a little space man introducing Beautiful Day.

Cari, I was going to gush about Stay too. I have the live version off itunes (I think). It also has a great version of Where The Streets too. Walk On PT 2 or something was the iTunes album name (just the two songs I think)

Anyway, a long winded way of saying the version is gorgeous and it's a lovely song too.

Sorry that wasn't saying I'm bored, it was the smiley I missed from the previous. It was a good song. I'm all for proper guitar playing and a good voice.

Cari I went in 2008 on my own, best time i've ever had ever!!!!!!!!

Rava I asked about the sheep and I've never looked back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prop - ace! I've been to a few gigs on my own and had a fab time. It doesn't matter at gigs.

That NASA thing was awesome. fairdo's.

Beautiful day.... love it.

The nasa thing was too o.t.t in my opinion!!

Cari: I met a few mates for a pint but most of the time was on my own so did what I wanted when I wanted and blagged loads of booze of people I spoke to! Jay-z actually blew me away with his performance expecially with the oasis pee take!

Rava wrote:Beautiful day.... love it.

All That You Can't Leave Behind (has that song on it) is a class album too. It's like an aural anti-depressant. I always listen to it if I'm miserable. Lifts my spirits.
