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?

Penfro - only if you're Mike Phillips What was the thing about Cai's Burger Challenge? i wonder if he gets served in McDonalds?

Rava - Tommy's always got a place anywhere

great little player isn't he Munsty? He really took his chance when Rees got his ban, but then unforunately he got injured then too.

His dad, Brynmor, used to play for Wales and always does the analysis of matches on S4C, so fingers crossed he's got a bit of a brain on him too. Always helps!

Dreamer, forgive me please, but I am reading that as playing for Wales and having a brain are somehow linked?? Would that be the exception rather than the rule?

:run1: :run1:

Dreamer,

I saw him first against your lot in the end of season game then this match. He has got a cracking pass and from his short cameo, is sturdy in defence. Shame they haven't got a decent out half down there for him to link up with.

The ICC confirmed that The World Cup has been reinstated to 14 teams again!
Ireland keep their place at the top table. Congratulations to the lobbyists.

at the moment it seems rather to be the exception!

Aye it is a bit, but he's one to keep an eye on for sure. Really liked how he's developed this season, and getting a chance to train with the Welsh squad is great for him.

Another scrum half I'll be looking out for next season is Martin Roberts. He never quite fit at the Scarlets, but he's got a brilliant pass and I think playing behind the Saints pack will really suit him, and hopefully he can mature somewhat. fingers crossed anyway.

"By the way, where was your sponsor page? I couldn't donate...I didn't see the link"

I did post it on one of these pubs, but it was a wee while ago.

"Something Always Seems to come up doesn't it."

It sure does. I'm annoyed that nobody extended me the courtesy of telling me I was doing this job. Small And Simple message would have sufficed.

"I’m sure nobody would mind that you’re doing it next week rather than this. It’s certainly not your fault that you couldn’t do it."

I knew they wouldn't, but I'm glad I've been honest anyway. Feels good to have done something right for once

"Rev, your Sponsors Are Supporting you mate. I too need the link. Message me on FB or in here."

If I'm honest, I am not taking more sponsorship for it, because of the way things have turned out. I don't think it's right to add to my colleagues total when I've been flipped about and seeing as my page was just the team page, I'd not worry about it. As it's for Help for Heroes, you can donate to them instead. Or buy an RAF 7's shirt as a fiver of your money will go to both charities anyway (Help for Heroes and RAF Benevolent Fund). Plus you'll get a nice rugby shirt then.

Maybe my attitude to further sponsorship is a bit wrong, but it doesn't seem right to take more donations. I have at least offered a more appropriate alternative.

"I'll be happy if you double the distance, Rev!!!! Shouldn't be an issue for someone in your line of work - Speed And Stamina"

More like Slow And Steady now. Those days are long behind me. Double be flipped. You are Such A Sadist

"Rev - nah don't be daft, tis not your fault you've been called up to do something else! And tis all for such a good cause, the money was happily donated"

It is a good cause and I wish I was doing this on my own from the start now, so I feel like I'm making more of an effort now.

Anyway, with the time at 09:15 local, I need to sleep off some more booze. First night madness and all that. Many thanks for all your support.

One for the wall-

Success: After 4 months and 6 phonecalls Natwest have accepted it wasn't me who spent £300 at a travelodge and given me my money back!!!!! Going to enjoy the gig tonight now

Well done Prop. See, it's always worth digging your heels in - the truth comes out somewhere!

You just need to "send the boys round" to make the person admit they damaged your car.

Video from H Cup weekend going up. Give it a 40 minutes.

Fair enough Hughie . Did you see Ian Gough's response to your Taibach question? I thought he handled it well.

Hugs,
I'll see your Poronkova and raise you a Lisicki. The new Steffi G.

Besides, theres too many Ova's and not enough Icki's.

Jeez, that Sharapova isnt half a squealer.

Steffi Graf <drool> shameabout the nose, but you know what they say about poking the fire.

I don't get all the noise the ladies make. Then men put in as much effort, but they don't make bedroom noises.

How's Anna Ivanovic doing? I don't know many female tennis players, but I know her, and she's a cracker.

Well, I suppose it makes a change from the <yawn> sheep stories

Nottins,
I loved her nose. Very Germanic. I dont go for wimmin with small pert noses. Don't trust em.

Mick,
Your girl is out. Sorry bud.

Thieving get!!! Who's question?

That's good news, Prop! It took me months of going to my branch every Saturday before they paid me back the money that had been withdrawn, on my card, in Russia. If you leave it, they'll leave it. Keep on at them and you get there in the end!

My question you Bollix ;-)



Pironkova having a bit of an up and down game 1-1 in sets, took it to a tiebreaks in the second. Kvitova is very strong though

I'm down. I lost for the first time in my house by 4 goals on FIFA.

I'm still getting over that 6 goal drubbing you gave me that one time.

Failure.

My son left me his PS3 when he went off to Norwege. He is a genius at that FIFA game. Im going to practice FIFA and take on ye kids. Dont have the speed and dexterity, but I reckon my experience, football-intelligence and sheer beauty - will take me to a Final.

Is anyone out there really krrap? Have to start somewhere. Last computer game I was WC at, was Space-Invaders.

In the krap stakes,Gibbo, I take some beating;just got to level 2 on Supermario version 1.1

It was a failure but I then won the next two convincingly which slightly made up for it.

I need to find new people to play. I feel my standard is dropping.

Cheers all!! Going to have a few tonight I think. Going to count the car as a loss to be honest, stupid woman, i'll just give her evils at st johns all the time!!

Oh and if Micky reads this, I'm going to kick your donkey in FIFA!

Well, that and udder tings like. <armagnac>

I was quite good at Defender. The local record shop had one and one day I went in at 10:00 and put in my 10p. I had to leave at 17:00 and had over 60 extra lives still and a score of over 5.5 million. Being an 8 bit machine it goesto Level 0 after Level 255.

just bought my first ever Scarlets season ticket!

Well done Dreamer I'm sure it'll get used.

Evening pub goers. Good stuff on your s/t dreamer

Got my Wasps renewal a month ago

Nah, seriously, it's always worth getting one if you go to enough games. I generally only miss games if I'm ill, or if it's an LV Cup pool game that doesn't get my interest (daft way you now play against teams in a different pool). And then there's the occasional Friday night game to fit in with 'the great God Sky'

Had a mad moment earlier when I got an email from Penfro about 'golf'. Whassat then? I replied - because I don't play. Turns out some of the lads were organising a round at the course by the hotel for the happy couple's party in a couple weekends time.

Then it dawned on me that I hadn't booked anywhere to stay

Sorted at lunchtime, and I'm in the same hotel.

Ha well done Harrow

I've been looking at galavanting myself at the end of July to a special event. It'll be massive for me if I can make a flight (can't book until Thursday) so watch this space.

Who is getting married ?

No one that I'm aware of personally...there are lots of special events going on not just weddings

oh dear was going to wear my pin stripe wellies for this special event.

I tell you what would be fun, I have a few acres of land near a lovely beach on Anglesey ideal location for a 606v2 BBQ next year.
And the following year have it at another location.

Go awn, Cariadwr, yOu know it makes sense, you can stay in my tent - as long as you don't mind a 6-yr old, a 4-yr old, plus Hughie, Kiwi & Rava!

Hound, haven't seen you on here fOr ages, and you have been much missed

Cari,
You off to watch U2 and Arcade Fire in California on the 30th,then?

I'll be there for the first year and peg me in annually thereafter. Thanks

For the right offer I will thnk about it - the fourth doesnt count after all

Asbo - who's worse - the 6 year old, the 4 year old or Hughie?

Cymro - sounds lovely. I've never been to Gogland either. I hear it's marvellous up there mind. 8)

Anglesea is great,or was 45 years ago;just one problem-you have to know which date summer falls on :run1:

Well the solstice is passed...

Cariadwr, Hughie could drink my wee man under the table, but my boy can deliver Scottish shoe pie like no other - just ask Rava or Munsty!
