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?

Notch - For only the 3rd time ever he lost after being 2 sets up. Crazy stuff, can't wait for the highlights, so happy

Hope you had a nice walk, bet it was a lovely day to be by the beach! (or it will have been if you've even got half the sun Cardiff has today)

I've got sand in my hair, but yeah- beautiful. Took a few snaps.

Went over a thousand posts and didn't even notice.

same thing happened to me Munsty, going to try and keep an eye out for when I reach 2000!

Right, logging off now, aiming to have another mostly internet free evening.

Have nice nights all!

First time ever that Federer has lost after being two sets up,in a GS event.
Still looks like Cassius Clay the young Jo,but his TV ads are as cringeworty.

Gutted Federer lost. One of my favourite tennis players. Tsonga is a decent player but he seems to be more about power than finesse. Murray won't win this year and to be honest I don't think he will ever win a biggie.

To be honest Mick that ain't half as bad as Mike Tyson's acting in the hangover films.

Evening all. What's occurring

Mea culpa,couldn't resist

Howya Micky. Was everything OK with the teef?

I'm just surfin' the net....not much going on.

Well my reggy friends, I have just had a rudey poo three hours.

Every few weeks, I go on my netbook and uninstall programmes I don't use. It tells you how often you use a programme, so anything that was last used in 2009, I uninstall. I was doing this today, and one of the programmes it told me I last used in 2009 - and so I uninstalled - turned out to be the thing that detects wireless networks. Could I find out how to reinstall it? Could I guffnuts! I'm clueless with computers. I got angry; I felt like crying; but I sorted it in the end.

The worst thing is that if it happened again, I wouldn't be able to remember how I fixed it!

lucky,
At least you understand what the machine is saying to you,I'm not at that point yet.

Lucky - I never ever mess about with the add/remove thingy on this PC...I'm too scared! At least your IT ordeal is over....I'd recommend just not touching it again and assuming everything on the PC is a necessity.

I don't think I want to watch a programme called "Embarrassing Bodies" looks minging...

Fillings ok although was a bit nervous but some of it out the way.

I'm not going to meddle with my netbook ever again! Still miffed that it lied to me and said that this thing that I use every day hadn't been used since 2009, though. I wouldn't have uninstalled it otherwise.

There's a strange attraction to programmes like that, aren't there? The same thing that brought the Victorians to freak shows, I suppose. Gruesome fascination.

lucky,not too sure about that,ask Gibbo.

Chef, that's the thing - I didn't understand what it was saying. I was going round the virtual houses. So frustrating - but sorted now.

Good news about the tooth doctor, Micky T(eeth)

Awh good. It'll all be done soon Micky and you'll have amazing gnashers that won't get sore anymore.

Lucky - I think it's the same masochistic curiosity which makes you think "Will it hurt if I poke my tongue onto a car cigarette lighter when it's lit?"...

Lucky....you just made the 666th reply on this thread

Damn, you've blown my cover, Prop! <malevolentlaugh>

So you are the Neighbour of the Beast Prop?

M icky,
We have a great local dentist(and they are like hen's teeth in the middle of nowhere)
he's from a country that has probably changed it's name 4 times since he left it' and works as if he's still there;long and patient,washing between each manipulation;a filling is 3 sessions(but you pay for the work done, not the time it takes)Does cause a lot of jaw ache

Cari, when I was younger I put my finger in the cigarette lighter of our car. It left the tip of my finger with a cool (but painful) concentric circles burn on it

Anyone watching the Apprentice? Just walked in, have I missed anything?

Robbo - Natasha and Melody are dicks. That's all you need to know!

Fully agree Lucky. What was that role play all about?

Natasha let herself down after the magazine task, while I completely went off Melody last week. That skit was terrible, I would go for the biscuit that opens up time.

Boom! Jedi Jim strikes again. Melody was my favourite to win but she's had 2 bad weeks in a row now and I can see her going this week. Apparently whoever goes refuses to shake hands.

Of the three facing being fired, Melody would drive me up the wall if she was a colleague.

Jim told ASDA to go big or go home and they went big. Helen's favourite to win, but I hope it's Jim in the final.

Jim fecking nailed that asda pitch. Well in big lad. Melody and Tom can count themselves lucky. Any one of them could have gone this week.

Right guys, i'm settling down with a new book to relax ahead of another mad day at work!! Nos da all!!

Pffft this places gets empty earlier every night.

I see google have launched their alternative to Facebook. Hmm good luck to them. Can't see them making a dent though, unless Facebook chicken something up. Intersting how 10 years ago newspapers would have affected political elections and how governement's did things. Now it's social media. And on that philosophical note completely unbecoming to a man of my years I shall depart.

The T knows his tennis as well as his LOI. I agree. The Fed gets a bad deal because of his genius. He's a dead-on guy, imo. As for Murray, he doesnt have the right stuff to win a SLAM event. But, this is the best chance he'll ever get to win one. That's how Virginia Wade won one way back. The top players wilted to open a gap.


Prediction time.
Djokovic to win the mens.
An unseeded Lisicki to win the womens.

More rugby chat today. I wonder if South Carolina is a bit of a hotbed. The Americans love the RAF rugby shirt too (with the clouds).

Went to an aquariam today. Great stuff. Saw an albino alligator and some sharks and other things. Poopie me up a bit even though they're behind thick glass. I was close to one of the tanks and fish kept appearing from nowhere and kept making me jump, the buggers. After seeing all those fish though I was dying to have seafood. Just been to a restaurant and had an amazing seafood paella.

Hughie and AsLongAs, you guys crack me up. Just a Standard Airforce Sort really

Anyway, quiet night tonight. No beer Laters.

Morning all,

In the middle of a sing-in. Finished the Irish songs, now the Turk has sobered up a bit, he's on the guitar as the foundation of our music.

On to YouTube now singing along with power ballads!

Making funny videos playing with sleeping people's noses. Hope you all enjoy this when reading it in a few hours.

Ha, ha, that sounds like immense fun, Munsty

Rev, an aquarium, eh? Sharks And Survival training?

Morning All

Munsty I was getting up whilst you were having a sing song!

Rev - sounds like you're enjoying it a bit over there. Perhaps there is a local rugby club or something around? Is there a college or university in the town?

I'm not in work today, but off out and about so I won't be in much.

Morning folks

Ended up out in SW19 yesterday, spur of the moment thing, got in for £8, ended up on court 1 watching Lyndsey Davenport and Martina Hinges v Two old Birds in the doubles as well as some other games involving old people but it was great just to get out there for the day

Bore da pawb / good morning all. A chill in the air this morning but it's shaping up to be a beautiful day

I'm handing over the keys to the old flat after work today. Good riddance to it.

Bore da pawb/ Morning all.

Gorgeous day so far in the Diff, there's just something about a blue sky that makes me really happy. Love it.

Good stuff on handing over the old keys Lucky. I always like doing that when I've moved on from a place, feels like I'm closing a chapter of my life, doesn't matter whether it was a good or a bad one, it's just nice that it's over and done with

It wasn't a horrendous place to live, Dreamer, but it had a bit of damp and it didn't get much sunlight. Actually it was pretty horrible if I'm honest, but when you live somewhere you sort of overlook things and get on with it.

I've gone to a better place...

I was the same with my Uni house Lucky. I didn't mind it at the time, but when I moved to somewhere else I realised what a dump it had really been. Funny how you look things over like that when you're there....

Hughie - I can't believe you got on to court 1 for just £8! that's amazing!

Two of my aunts were down at Wimbers yesterday and they managed to get on Centre Court! Knowing them they'll have been chicken-a-hoop!

Aye we did dreamer it was class, got in.for eight and the pimms cost seven haha go figure

Morning all

Better weather for Wimbledon yesterday than the day before Hughie, you timed that one well. See you're back on twitter fella (I'm Ozzy3213 on there), the queues at Wimbledon are ridiculous sometimes!!!

Lucky, thats a dodgey approach. I delete programmes I know that I don't use but I wouldn't delete things at random.

The only exception being getting rid of the Toshiba software that came with the netbook when I bought it. I did research what each one did though before I did it.
