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?

Are you going for cat tonight ?

Lucky dip, I think. Dog, cat, gerbil, they all go well with noodles and beansprouts.

And me. All tastes like chicken anyway.

I'll be knocking a few of these back as well: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/champagnecocktail_2496

With Cava not champagne though.

No such thing as a quiet jägerbomb. Sausages (expertly cooked on the BBQ, even if I do say so myself) for me.

Ooh, look at you with yer umlaut!

It says a lot for the iPhone's predictive text that I said to myself 'umlaut'? What the hell's that? Turned to his lordship google... Ahhh...

Pasta with pork in a tomato and pepper sauce here tonight.

Just finished my chicken with cashew nuts bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and egg fried rice. Now drinking my second pint of water in an attempt to avoid midnight arabs dap syndrome.

Lamb Tagine (infamous - just ask Mickado)

Home-made burgers and chips. With peas. I love peas.

Unusually sophisticated for someone north of Antrim...

Just got in from looking at 3d TVs with my dad. It was more enjoyable than watching England get humped at the cricket (although I did turn one of the TVs in Currys off the tennis and onto Sky Sports to see how we were getting on!) Some of these teles were absolutely unreal though. If he buys one I'm never moving out!

I hate 3d. 90% of the time, it adds nothing!

Do you know Gibbo I spotted you twice on the Heino DVD. Just you, not the ones you were with - TART!

3D is nothing but a gimmick. Discuss.

Thomond wrote:3D is nothing but a gimmick. Discuss.

Agree. A telly is a telly. I reckon HD is a load of bollix as well.

I've never watched anything on a 3D TV, so I can't say.

My special chow mein hit the spot.

Thomond wrote:3D is nothing but a gimmick. Discuss.

It actually often ruins the colour.

It's sort of cool at first, but it's not really too exciting once the novelty factor wears off. Slightly annoying actually.

Well Djokovic finally got over the line but that was a great tennis match. The crowd was firmly on Baghdatis's side.

Fire alarms gone off again.

It really isn't. Go into your favourite electrical retailer and ask to watch for a demo of a film on DVD and one in full HD on Blu-Ray, you'll soon change your mind. It's like the difference between mono and stereo.

Nutcutlets,green salad,yogurt with with blackcurrent,raspberry andapple compot,a suppositoire and off to bed.

For those interested!

Kearney & Heaslip will be on 'Miriam' tonight (from 9.30). Apparently talking about Ireland camp etc.

Should be free to view anywhere.

Nice one sin!

Not in the UK it's not. I'll have to wait until it's on the iPlayer.

But the Irish pre-season camp doesn't start until Monday...

I've got it on now. It's the weather.

Old Enda up in Derry/Londonderry as well. I'm sure Rodders will confirm the city was brought to a standstill with excitement.

Thats a pity. In the meantime you can have an eyeful of Wally in his lycra on the video on here
Tony Buckley is some monster on a bike. As for Declan Kidney - no lycra for him

This video was made before Paul died, so its kind of nice the way they are sending messages to him.

Can't wait to see what Miriam says to the lads. She more or less told Alan Quinlan she heard he was a 'ride' (as Gibbo would say) and that they were correct!

Are you getting that audio problem with the multiple delays Sin?

I'm watching it on tv, Notch.

WALLY IN LYCRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Note: there really needs to be a drooly smiley on here - going to have to sort that out before the new season...)

Sin - I don't like presenters flirting with the guests it's embarrassing - especially if they look old enough to be their parents.

It was jammed notch. The bridge is really impressive, looking forward to running it. Still a lot of development to do here for the city of culture thing but certainly its starting to take shape a bit and the bridge really links the city. A lot of different nationalities which was great to see.

Couldn't hear a word Enda, Robinson or Mcguinness said due to some terrible sound engineering.

Weird RTE Player glitch.

Nobody's watching Glasto then? I'm not. Got Law & Order on.

Cari wrote:Nobody's watching Glasto then? I'm not. Got Law & Order on.

Watched a bit of elbow but watching this miriam thing now. What time are coldplay on?

Now Rodders. They're headlining. Chris Martin really pishes me off so I'm not bothering, and there's always a random irrelevant shot of Gwyneth which is just more irritating.

Yeah don't like them much myself and Martin is a pretencious d**k but they have some good songs. They're a bit like snow patrol in that I'd never publically admit to liking them but thankfully this place is anonomous

Hey anything for a glimpse of Gwyneth though...... !

Sophie Ellis Bextor.

Hmmm?

I would. Again and again and again.

I'm watching the England Saxons game from last weekend. Stupid name, but that's what the "marketeers" do.

I dread to think what they would call Wales A.



anyways nos wotsits.

I will refrain from commenting having consumed a couple of glasses of adult pop.

Marky Mark, Mark Wahlburg in some action sheet on film4. Is it any wonder the country is flipped.

Bextor is sexy but I'd spend so much time trying to work out why.

Nottins I'll do it for you, something along the lines of 'ewe-botherers'?

They would probably go for Dragons or Warriors or something like that. I'd go for 2nd XV personally. Why waste brain cells on something which has been around as long as the game. People worry too much about negativity but I have played the odd game for various second XV in my career and that changing room motivates itself.

Right I really am going to bed now.

Gnite.

Wow wow

Ruff?

I'm only in the door and I'm a little worse of ware so take these and do what you will to the filthy bitch

Wales Online is an embarrassment. Almost as much of an embarrassment as the hack from Caerffili who wrote in the Telegraph that the mental health problems Pete Posslethwaite suffered whilst living in Aberystwyth were attributable to the Welsh language.
