The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Sun 26 Jun 2011 - 22:14

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? appletini

Swanny and Sharpey suits us Rava. Though Mr Swanny is a perfectly acceptable form of address for himself. He knows his place Wink

I will get used to Mrs Sharpe though right now it just makes me think of my mother in law Erm

:run2:

Hughie,the Wozniacki match is great. You should turn over to that.

No way Thomond, ill never desert my Tsvetana

And she breaks Williams again!!! Superb

by Thomond Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 16:24

Cibulkova isn't exactly bad. Neither is Wozniacki. it's a decent game aswell.

by Suspicious lurker Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 16:28

Wozniacki is lovely, don't get me wrong, sticking with this though, Williams is beginning to up her game now and breaks back

Don't worry Tsvetana you know you can beat her again, keep it together and don't panic

On an earlier theme...
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

What a load of bollix. Specially in Summer.

by Suspicious lurker Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 16:35

Thats what we like to see, break right back!!!

4-2 to Tsvetana now, hold your serve and make it count

by Suspicious lurker Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 16:45

And she does after about 8 visits to deuce

5-2 now

Aye Gibbo and Huggy would do well to remember that Wink

There are lots of -ovas on the women's side of things, aren't there?

by Guest Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 16:51

apparently about 25 of them in this years tournament Lucky.

by nottins Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 16:51

That's both the Williams brothers out.

by Suspicious lurker Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 16:53

What a great result!!!

6-3 6-2 and she sails into the quarter finals!!

And that's both Williams out now maybe the commentators can get around to talking about the other players in the women's draw

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 16:55

Well there you go, Dreamer!

I don't like the way they pounce on the players as soon as they've come off court. I've I'd just played a match I'd be inclined to tell them to do one. They give a press conference later anyway, just wait for that.

I agree with you there, give them time to themselves first. At least at the All England club, they let the players off court, unlike in some of the other Grand Slam events they have some buffoon interviewing them on the court.

Also I don't like it happening in rugby. Sometimes the player doesn't get to clap the opposition off the pitch.

What did they say to the Williams Bros when they lost?
Oh get ova it why doncha.

Ok, I'll get me coat.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:13

Gibbo, that is a terrible joke - that's my kind of standard!

This could be a great match now. I'd love del Potro to win, not because I don't like Nadal but because del Potro's had such a bad injury.

by Gibson Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:24

It's fairly bad Lucky. But it was an urge I couldnt resist.

What's that all about then? Its like purging it from yer brain and laying it on others.

Like a bad choon you can't get out of your hid. It helps to hum it and mess up others with it. I believe strongly in sharing my psychosis. Very healthy. Not for others mind.

Like this Kajagoogoo track I can't get rid of at the minute... Heard it when out cycling today.

Please share the pain.

by Cari Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:36

Nothing wrong with Kajagoogoo! Very Happy

except the espadrilles and hairstyles....

SWANNY - glad to hear everything went smoothly and you all had a good day. Smile

by Gibson Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:43

Yeah Cari, it just reminds me of dancing like an eejit with the kids to it. Happy Days. It had them in fits.

So, no change there then.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:43

Any song can come in to your head at any time. If I'm lucky, it's a song I actually like, but half the time (in my experience) it's a song I can't stand. Why does my brain remind me of songs that it itself doesn't like?

Swanny - what Cari said!

by Mickado Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:43

Gibbo - 30 degrees? Jeysus, tell them to stick the AC on while I'm over there, myself and herself are virtually see-through, don't take the sun well!!

Just bought the Leinster DVD, going to have a cracking night on me toblerone and watch that!

by Cari Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:47

Mickado - spot Gibbo after D'Arcy's try! Wink

We're on there just before as well, but it's him more than me (thankfully).

It's cooling down here, but very dark and humid. Think we'll have a storm tonight.

by Guest Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:51

Lucky - I'd like Del Potro to win too, really glad he's been able to come back to a really high level of playing tennis after that awful wrist injury.

And it's so horrible and humid out, I don't like it. I would like a thunderstorm please Smile

by nottins Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:52

Overcast in Brentford now. I was almost a puddle on the walk in, should be interesting on the way back to the hotel.

In other news, I may be in the background on a few interviews on BBC2 tonight at 21:00. There was some filming taking place here a few weeks ago and 15 feet from my desk.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:53

A good storm would clear the air, wouldn't it? I love how fresh it is after a storm.

by Cari Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:55

I used to be terrified of thunderstorms, but I'm much better now. I will watch one from indoors, but I'm not too comfortable being outside in one. In Cardiff we don't get that many anyway, and I haven't seen a bad one for a couple of years. In West Wales on the coast, we had massive storms at times.

by Suspicious lurker Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:55

Gibbo

This will get that song out of your head

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHHv4u8Vomw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

by Guest Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:57

Yeah Cari, I like watching them form indoors too, wouldn't like to be out in them!

Back home I used to always have to sit up with my dog when there was a storm coz she was terrified of them, but I do like them. As long as I have a torch with me in case the power goes off I'm all okay Smile

by Gibson Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 17:59

Mick. Hope its great weather for you man. Sitting on a terrace and quaffing Belgian beers, having a smoke and watching the weird World go by - is a Dam must do. guinness

As, is an expert at it. Allegedly...

P.S. I'll steer you to an Irish pub for the Dubs. There are only 22 of em here in the Dam Im afraid. So not much choice...

So Cari, you looked at flights yet? Few things coming up for me in August. Son's Masters bash, sister coming over, trip to Donegal with my mate. Yada yada... please let me know pal. Ok!

Edit. And the Chef's Bash at the start if it.

I love it too Lucky. The Earth seems fresh and new again. For a while...

We get some rip-roaring Thunder-storms over here. Love filming it.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 18:13

It's like the air's neutral again, Gibbo. I'm not a scientist but that's how it feels.

Nice bit of Kraftwerk there, Hughie! Except it doesn't play...

by Guest Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 18:15

ooo injury to Nadal! Done some sort of damage to his heel.

Hope it doesn't affect him too much, this match is set up to be brilliant at 6-6 in the first set.

Isn't that where the term 'clear the air' comes from? Its a great feeling.

Nothing to say about your uninteresting post, but check what time it was posted! 6.06 what timing!

Yeah Lucky. Ionisation. But, I prefer the poetry rather than the science.

Cheers Hugs. Now I have to get rid of that one. Ale

Used love Kraftwerk.

by Suspicious lurker Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 18:26

I had that song in my head for about three weeks, Its just that riff it's so catchy

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 18:28

Neu! were great too, they had some beautiful stuff:

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 18:34

I can't believe del Potro double-faulted on set point!

It's shaping up to be a hell of a match though, as long as Nadal can continue.

by Cari Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 18:35

Gibbo - those things are far more important so it probably won't be August when I visit. Smile

How about Sept then? Its cooler and cheaper to travel then and still lots going on. coffee

We'll sort something out Gibbo Smile

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 18:57

Whereabouts on Anglesey are you, Cymro?

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 19:03

This is a hell of a tennis match, by the way.

by Suspicious lurker Mon 27 Jun 2011 - 19:09

Your dead right luckless. Some of the shots have been unreal
