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?

As scarce as hen's teeth.

Women sometimes coo over a newborn baby.

Change one letter of that sentence...

Do toothless hens succeed then

A referee was knocked unconscious in a GAA game this weekend. Very serious incident:

Afternoon All. Dinner time!

Coming towards the end of my lunch break now but not sure how I'm going to be able to concentrate, Murray v Gasquet (sp?) is about to start, and the last time these two met in Wimbledon it was a 5 set cracker. Am going to be so tempted to follow the live text updates...

Gasquet's easily capable of beating Andy Murray. I'm going to have to keep an eye on the score.

Staggy - I just read that. I'm surprised it was at a women's football match. Not being sexist, but I didn't think people got that excited about women's football. It's unpleasant to hear about that sort of violence in any sport though.

Are there any others?

Being bullish. Or Bulldog British if you want to be specific.

I've met some ladies who have been doe-eyed, others secks-kittens. Some have been fine fillies, others plain old cows.

Spoiler:

You can say someone's a good shag.

Or if someone eats too much you can call them a ganet.

It's an international sensation so it is. On Saturday i was in the foetal position trying to get the fluids back into me. Friday was a rough night!

Heatwave? Where?! It's raining cats and dogs here....still nice weather for ducks.

Breeds like a rabbit...goes like a racehorse...

Coitus interruptus = That man has very strong self control.

You can goose someone.

I haven't heard of a lot of these phrases.

Half Cocked?
To goose someone?
Ganet?

I think half cocked is more to do with guns than animals

Or a Greedy Pig.

I’ve heard if you’re badly injured or generally if something is in a bad way you can say it’s goosed.

cocked - as in male chicken. Not an animal, but then neither is a goose or a ganet.

You can have a whale of a time, as we are having today

But you "cocke" a gun. (sp- silly filter)

Particularly muskets, which had a cocked and a half-cocked setting.

My soccer loving mate is really having a go about the GAA on my facebook status. I can tell by the way he writes he’s aux fait with debates on the net!

I'm not having a whale of a time. I've been waiting on a callback from this new company for the last week. They told me to expect a call today. Nothing yet

You can do something on porpoise.

I hate waiting for those call Stag. You start to think all sorts!
Sorry that probably won't help.

Gasquet leading 5-4. Games with serve but Gasquet having no problem so far with his.

I know. They emailed me Thursday to aplogise for delay and that I should get call today but nothing. I would hate if it all fell through.

Marion Bartoli leading Mr. S Williams on Court 1 by 5-3. Serving for first set.

Stag, patience my man. The call will come otherwise they wouldn't have emailed you.

There's no reason why it should fall through, Stag. I remember having to wait over a month before getting the final green light for a job.

Alex Salmond on the radio. I remember seeing footage of him playing football on the campaign trail. It was hilarious.

I like him, he was asked if he did drugs in University and said "I didn't exhale"

Bartoli wins the first set against Serena. Murray/Gasquet 1st Set tie break

I like Marion Bartoli. A bit bonkers, but that's no bad thing.

luckless_pedestrian wrote:I like Marion Bartoli. A bit bonkers, but that's no bad thing.

Jeez she just bounces around the court. If fitness wins games she has this one sown up.

Murray wins first set.

All this chat is making my elbow ache.

yaaaay Murray! so glad he got that in the tie-break. Can rest just a smidgen bit easier now.

Bartoli is a funny one, she uses up so much energy between points, it could really come back to hurt her. She's a former Wimbledon finalist though and she's in good form, be interesting if she can finish Serena off!

Shhh, there's an elephant in the room

And a paper tiger.

Bartoli had two big 3 setters at the end of last week,she'll stay the distance;she's also shed a few kilos recently,after being out for 6 weeks with a torn calf muscle

Better to be hung for a :sheep: than a

"asshole" is sadly another Americanism that's crept into use. For real effect it should be bumhole but then it isn't animal related.

Hmmm, I may have to go review the rude words list

Agreed, Nottins. You can call someone an ass if you think they're an ass, but if you think they're an a r s e, call them an a r s e!

'Butt' is another Americanism I hate. "Let's kick some butt!" Er, which country is this?

How do you know there's an elephant in your fridge?










Footprints in the butter!!

There's something up with the swear filter on here anyway, cause I saw some bullshit on another thread.

A good call. Though in case we get some "speakers of American English" on the boards future I've set it to donkey
