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?

Were you able to take him seriously, or did you just keep sniggering?!

He's following you Staggy...you must've really pished him off! Awh...have a and relax for a bit.

Ah I don't need a cuppa I'll be fine. He just kept quoting consumer laws and rights that simply don't exist. Threatening legal action. I called his bluff and told him thats fine to go chat to his solicitor.

It's annoying when people use armchair law in those kind of situations because they're often totally inaccurate.

The only bit of Wales I've really seen are the forest near Corris-Euchaf, the inside of the pub down the road from the Youth Hostel there. I've also been in several other forests in Wales whilst marshalling what was the RAC Rally, which is now just the Rally of Wales (GB)

They usually are. Programmes like Watchdog are great but they give people unrealistic expectations.

Nottins, I've been meaning to ask: are you behind the nottins_wales username?

I won't sign the transfer forms !!!!

What's it all about, Notty?

Why is he obsessed with you?

quite a musical group us lot aren't we?

if this 606 band needs a drummer or a tuba player, I am on it.

I also know some tunes on the glockenspiel and 1 song on the trumpet. and 1 song on the bag pipes.

Sorry penfro!! Means the Sarries will have somewhere for a trip!!

Have you got the job, Prop, or will you be applying for it?

All we need now is a band name, Micky T!

I used to play the glockenspiel when I was in junior school Micky, but other than that I'm more groupie material than musician

Prop - you seem OK with that...and Glos. isn't far away by any means so you cans till pop back over here regularly Just means you'll have to get a season ticket for Glaws.

I have no idea.

You should try directing the question at him.

I did permanently ban him from the 606 Rugby Board Members Facebook group. This was after consultation with all the admins of the group and after a couple of the other admins, both Welsh, had banned him. The Rev was one who banned him one night but I think he'd had an argument with some alcohol and the alcohol won

I used to play recorder at primary school. Tried clarinet and flute at middle school but I was carp at both of them.

Oh my goodness, I need to get back to Zaytoon's!

Nah not got it, just applying for jobs at the moment looking to go towards the drama teaching area again!!

Munsty get yourself back over here. you would be welcome there anytime.

Rava, sent you a mail.

name for a band.

how about "Willy and the fourskins"

Was up in Zaytoons last time I was in Dubland. Not always the biggest fan of kebabs but they do a very nice job.

I went to the Pendine School Camp when I was about 10 which was horrendous - not the surroundings, just the camp itself. They used to do trips to Llangranog when I was at secondary school but I never went on those.

Ah we used to go to Pendine every year, I wasn't a big fan especially after the group I was in got lost orienteering. Food was awful too Pendine dinners, Pendine dinner, concrete chips! concrete chips!

Only been to Llangranog once, I hated it, they kept making me go on the dry ski slope and I was officially rubbish. Would be very happy if I never went back there!

Micky,

I might be back in July. If that's the case, I'll stop off there before heading back down to Limerick Citayyyyyyyy.

The worst band name I've ever heard was actually "Crystalised Movements". I kid you not. I think that name's stuck with me cause it's so bad.

Munsty/Micky - I'm very likely to be in Dub for the Quarter Finals at the end of July

How about: 606 the number of the pub for our first song?!

You know if you dial that number my mobile goes off...

The Fudgepackers.

Fine no one like my name for the band then.

or we could do

Fat kids win c-saw

Fat kids are harder to kidnap.

Yeh Cari, Mickado was saying. Depending on the dates, it might be tight for me, but I will do my best to be around. so as soon as you have exact dates, holla at me.

Micky - I'm not sure how far we'd get with that name...sounds a bit like a novelty band. What sort of music are we doing? Rock with a bit of tuba?

Booking flights tomorrow Micky. It's very likely to be the Thursday to the Monday - just waiting to see which seat I can park my bum on. Would be fab if you're around, but if not that's cool too. I know it's short notice.

I remember seeing a poster for a gig by Cliff Rescue and the Helicopters.

what's the dates on that Cari?

we are just in the middle of our competition season the. I defo have a band competition on the sunday of the bank holiday weekend and am planning to go away then from Sunday - Tuesday night.

but il know more and might be able to change a little.

micky,

If I get over for a Zaytoon, I expect you to be in the vicinity. Even if I just see you from across the street, that'll do me.

Ha Munsty, I will be there. I promise. I miss your face.....

although surely you should be talking about getting over to see your family rather than a kebab based product? ha

Yeh, will be worth it. getting some structure to it hopefully.

well this was supposed to be a message for someone on instant chat in work..

HEADS UP MY bum TODAY

Micky,

It will be on the way back to Limerick. I'll probably come back by rail and sail if I do visit, so will be coming through Dublin.

awesome. well that's a plan and a half. once you know dates, let me know and il make sure its all gravy.

new Ireland jersey up. not really something I would be mad about but not great.

I'd love Ireland to go back to playing in emerald green, just as I'd love France to go back to playing in French navy.

micky,

It's not too bad. Will look better without the big O2 and when they're playing, those shiny bits around the breasts won't be as noticeable.

Yeh, I have had a few looks at it. it is growing on me slightly.

I think the neck/colar is much better on this one though. the other one is/was too wide.

I will probably pick it up anyway

Micky - it'll be the 28th July until the 1st I'll be there. be good to see you too Munsty!

I actually quite like that Ireland shirt.

I would buy it if I could afford it. I gave my one to the Turkish guy in my house. He shall forever be an Irish rugby supporter now.

To be honest, I think you can only really judge it when you see somebody wearing it.

Those shiny bits are for the lads to show off their pecks they've been working on

Cari,

If I come over, it would be probably a week before that. I'd like to meet up with you but it's expensive getting up to Dublin from Limerick.

Yeh Cari, and the FANS version can act like a bra for the rest of us.

Yeh Munsty, I will wait until I see it on someone.

Luck, I would prefer the old Green myself if I had a choice, but this is the colour we will be going with for the foreseeable no doubt

Awh OK Munsty. I'll wave at you from the plane

I hope you don't mind Micky but I put that link up on the New Kit thread but I did credit yourself.

no that's fine Cari, I was going to do the same myself but was too lazy to put a spoiler up.

Hi all something I was thinking Irish regz. How badly would rugby be hit if the GAA decided it would be fully professional?

Not as badly as GAA which would fold as it would not be able to field over 40 pro sides.

If GAA went pro, they'd have to restructure it to have less teams wouldn't they? That could have the same effect as when Welsh rugby went regional...fans not interested in supporting a region. Not sure how many teams you would have or how they would restructure competitions though. If it aint broke...
