The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Sun Jun 26, 2011 5:14 pm

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

by Guest Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:00 pm

ah Pete, that's not so good, family bereavements are always tough Hug

Hope thing ease up for you if they can for the weekend.

I'm off now, need an earlyish night. Actually managed to do some writing tonight, so hope I can pick up where I left off tomorrow!

Nos Da pawb/Good night all, and here's another Ale

for you Pete.

I'm at work at the weekend so like Gibbo says, it's like a day off for me dreamer Very Happy

by Gibson Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:02 pm

Ah Pete is Mrs LDC ok man? When it is someone really close, a family needs time.
MrsG's bro died in Jan. Major shock. The family gathered and eased the pain.

Love you man. If I had jubblies Id marry ya.

Hold a cotton pickin ... - I DO!

More beer. Ale

Mock De Week!

Nite Dreamer. Slaap lekker.

by Guest Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:03 pm

ha well, enjoy it then! Smile

by **Ozzy3213** Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:05 pm

She's taking it tough to be honest Gibbo. Her cousin, whose mum it is who died, and her are very close, she was chief bridesmaid at our wedding.

She's only 24, that's no age to lose your mam.

by Gibson Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:15 pm

Oh God man. You know, we moan. About phhokall sometimes. But we are still here to moan. The beauty of it all is, the best human reaction to death and loss. That she has MrsLDC to cuddle her. And be with her now. It will strenghen their ties even more. That's the beauty of it.

Life.

Ale

Dying to see you again tbh.

by **Ozzy3213** Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:32 pm

Life indeed Gibbo.

Ale

I reckon we should pencil in the Exeter Chiefs v London Irish game next season for a few pints down at asbo's.

by Gibson Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:36 pm

Pete.
Yer on!

by Suspicious lurker Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:46 pm

The finger of blame has turned upon itself and I'm more than willing to offer myself,do you want my presence or need my help? Who knows where that might lead??

by Gibson Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:49 pm

Is it wrong to lust after Kirsty Wark?

I dont care. Her intelligence, cultural-awareness and knowledge - turns me on.

She's a mental ride.

Hugs,
Oh yes. You are essential. It's impossible not to smile, when you're on Tour.
You just cant help it. And thank Allah for that. zen

by Suspicious lurker Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:12 pm

Gibbo, that's a rocking track one of the few FF tracks I like, and tours need an old man like you to keep the balance right Laugh

How are you anyway brother??

by Gibson Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:28 pm

Grand man. Going to a bash on Sat, in Den Haag. Saffer mate of mine is 50. He was a bigger animal than me - in his day. But, they had to re-assemble his heart a few months back. The wimp.

It will be a huge 2-day bash. I may never come back from it. But, know this little bro - I always loved you. Ale

by Suspicious lurker Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:31 pm

Ah gibbo your getting all sentimental on me know, I hadn't realized you grew a vagina haha

Feeling is mutual though

Looking forward to next weekend though, its going to be some laugh, peed up and in a heap

by Gibson Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:42 pm

Not getting sentimental. This party will be like... well. I was thinking of not going. Did you see Apocalypse Now? Think that on combustable intake. I have no self-control with these people. And the missus is away.

Im a good boy now. But this porty could finish me.

Next week will be great man. Really looking forward to it.

Round up the Usual Suspects. Niiice.

by Suspicious lurker Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:47 pm

Jesus that sounds like my kind of bash, I can just imagine the debauchery that will occur!!!

Yeah Saturday is going to be mental, what time do you get in??

by Mick(TEFC) Fri Jul 01, 2011 2:52 am

Morning from a bright and Sunny Lannes.

Envious of you guys at the party next weekend,bloodi work,but still, I've got the Bash to organise;going to see a man about a cured ham this morning.<slurp>

That Chiefs/LI fixture looks interesting,have to check it.

Hey 31st March,no flights available yet,loadsa time Smile

by Cari Fri Jul 01, 2011 3:31 am

Morning All mug

LDPC - sorry to hear about your week. I hope it improves from now on Smile

Last day at work for me then I'm off for a week king

I've got another secondment next month too.....when I get back from Dublin Erm

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Jul 01, 2011 3:32 am

Bore da pawb / good morning all, happy Friday! Very Happy

If no one objects, I'm going to take my tea, sit in a corner and play with my ding-a-ling.

by red_stag Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:02 am

Oh god I am knackered tired. One of my mates has had a few things on his mind so my solution was to have a beer at my gaff and talk them out. That was at 10pm last night. It was after 3.30am when I got to bed. Only 3 hours sleep after having 8 or 9 beers Erm

Still though he needed that chat so I don't mind at all.

Needless to say I am gonna do as little as possible in work today Smile

Pete thats awful about your Aunt-in-law pal. I hope your wife's doing ok.

Got a family day tomorrow - a christening with myself as Godfather. I've seen too many Al Pacino movies so maybe I've a hazy idea of what the job entails Smile

by Cari Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:05 am

Ha Staggy. You've got the loverug to be Al Pacino all right Wink

That was good of you to sit with your pal...did you really need the beer though? You won't get sympathy for that Wink

I'm aching all over after yesterday I feel like I've done a tough session at the gym.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:06 am

What did you do yesterday, Cari?

by **Ozzy3213** Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:08 am

Morning all

luckless, just don't make a mess in that corner, took ages to clean last time Wink

stag, is it a boy or girl being christened? If it is a girl, as godfather your traditional responsibility is to keep her in shoes until she is 18......

Good luck with that. Very Happy

So mens semi final today then people, is Monsieur Murray going to finally conquer his demons, or will Rafa hand him his bum on a plate as usual?

by red_stag Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:09 am

RUMOUR: about the new Munster jerseys

- The away kit is rumoured to be white with 6 very thin coloured hoops across the middle - 2 Blue, 2 Green, 1 Red, 1 Yellow - they represent Waterford, Tipperary, Limerick, Kerry, Cork and Clare; the Munster counties

- The home jersey has a red 'collar' and placket instead of navy, and has lost the yellow piping. The adidas stripes are navy.

Dogs are great. But cats are better.

by red_stag Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:20 am

Cari - beer was necessary. Men being men talking about feelings doesn't always go down well. As they say "In Vino Veritas" so we had a few drinks.

Yes its a little girl Pete, Lilly is her name.

by mickyt Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:20 am

Well I am an idiot. I thought the pub had been locked down because it wouldn't let me post. but I never thought to check that I was signed out.

Idiot.com.

Stag, I do like that the concept of the jersey. I didn't know they were due to release one.

I have tried on my Leinster Jersey a few times. I like it. I really like it now.

by red_stag Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:24 am

In other news a neighbour and former team and class mate of mine has been added to the Munster senior squad. Sean Scanlon plays in the back 3. Didn't think he'd make the call up to be honest. Was terrific at schools level but seemed to have got stuck at Munster A level before this. Only 22 so still time on his side.

by Cari Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:31 am

Prop - on my way to work this morning I saw an advert for a Summer Cider Festival here and I thought of you. cider

Staggy - I was just being silly Smile

And that Munster jersey "rumour" is it another one of your WUMs, cause that shirt sounds eye boggling...

by mickyt Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:32 am

I seen the new Wales Jerseys.

they are nice. the black one especially

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:37 am

Have you got a link, Micky T? I really didn't like our jersey this season.

by red_stag Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:40 am

Cari - the jersey I read on Musnterfans. They said it would be very very thin hoops like piping almost rather than big thick ones.

by mickyt Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:46 am

It came in via my email Luck,

http://www.rugbystore.co.uk/

it should be on the home page of it.

by red_stag Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:47 am

Anyone else think the Ireland kit looks dopey.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:51 am

That Wales jersey's an improvement, Micky. I'm glad the 'away' shirt's not blue any more, too.

France have half-reverted to French navy - wish they'd gone the whole hog!

I'm down in Sir Benfro next week.

I really like new Wales tops and I'm glad they've got shot of the blue tops - they just looked more like French ones to me. What's with rugby tops having moob support on the front though? Wink

by mickyt Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:06 am

ah stag, are you ever Happy?

I think it solves the main issue I had with regards the colar area of the old jersey. I think the bit on the chest isn't my favourite. but I said the same about the 07 jersey and loved that when I got it. still one of my fav jerseys

Happy? With Ireland? Never Smile

The hexagon pads on the chest, the IRFU logo embossed onto it it all just looks weird.

by Cari Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:09 am

Stag the Hexagonal bits are for the likes of Wally to show off their pecks....although on most people it'll be more like moob supports or just shapes on a shirt...

by **Notch** Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:10 am

It does look stupid to be fair lads.

by mickyt Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:10 am

Thanks Pen, I am excited about the Reds game.

glad it's not on at half 6 too.

Wally doesn't need help to show of muscle Smile

I hear he's taking up bodybuilding after rugby

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:10 am

Morning all, lovely day here again today.

Gibbo, just a preliminary heads up, I've just heard word of a netball tournament in the Dam at the end of August, so I'm going to have a look at getting a team together for it Smile

by mickyt Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:15 am

I would suggest just give it a chance to see it in person.

I have hated a lot of jerseys only for them to appear a bit better in person.

That type of stuff on the 07 jersey every one thought looked horrible as well. but I loved it in the end.

the IRFU I wouldn't be a fan of but still worth waiting and seeing it in person

by Suspicious lurker Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:16 am

Staggy stop moaning and get this one instead

http://www.worldrugbyshop.com/760956-gr.html

Your good at painting

by red_stag Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:16 am

Cool Micky will do. I can't wait for Musnter to scrap this horrible kit. I believe it makes us play worse too. But I'm not paranoid . . . . Shocked
