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?

Phurt. I'm rough tiday, what an evening last night, I think I drank the place dry of Jagermister though

Alright Hughie. Good time? I've decided this weekend to refine my shaving technique after years of suffering razor burn, poor quality shaves and ingrown hairs. I'm going to go retro and look at using a blade and badger brush!!

Anyone else see the score in the Munster Hurling Final. Tipperary scored SEVEN goals Waterford scored 13/19 of the points from free kicks and were truly abysmal.

Evening all. Ow.

And the bleeping Aussies won the netball world cup in extra time this morning (fair payback for our Commonwealth Games win I guess).

I don't know if this has been posted outside, the ABs 3N squad is out http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/5263037/Jarrad-Hoeata-joins-All-Blacks-squad

I had a great day yesterday. Had a chat with Tovey for a while. He shared a room with Henson in Poland and said the guy is sound. They discussed The Batchelor and it sounds pretty interesting. Was winding him up about his glassback too.

Fair to say, I was pretty caned though. Went home early, so got good brownie points for that.

Apologies to all that received the midnight call yesterday - Rev, trust me, if I'd had your phone number, you would have done - I blame hughie and his jaeger-bombs. Bliwdy lethal. Cracking party, lovely to see everyone and a very funny trip up and back down - we had to stop at almost every pub in the Peak district on the way there

David Humphreys will be relieved that there's no Jared Payne!

No need to apologise As, I was looking forward to being serenaded but fell asleep.

Absolutely cream crackered. Awesome time yesterday. That is all for now.

You ever post that article on The Roar Munsty?

Not yet Notch. Not easy when the only internet I get is when I'm down in the library and don't want to waste my limited time on that article.

That's a very valid point. Thinking about that actually, Virgin Media were rudey poo for me when I was getting set-up but they do actually have pretty reasonable prices.

Just watching this Dynamo magician guy. Brilliant stuff. He's just walking on water on the Thames.

Anyway, fitness test tomorrow. This place has been pretty quiet this evening.

This is it

Wow, cool down lads. Bit too much love for the Rev there.

Last night was a great gas, because of the people. I had to meet some friends when I got back, and we had a good laugh too. Feels like I've had two weekends in one

Nice lie in tomorrow too.

Morning folks

I'm pretty hungover and hoarse from T in the Park but here none the less, I'm also pondering the nature of the name of the Beckham family's latest addition.

Does anyone wonder what has happened to Harper 1,2,3,4,5 and 6? And does anyone know why the Beckhams have named their wee girl like a killer cyborg?

Morning all, I've woken up at home for the first time in two weeks. I'll need to take the petrol strimmer to the gardens this week.

Bore Da pawb/good morning all, hope everyone's well today

Any of you see any highlights of the tour de France yesterday? The crash casued by one of the tv cars was absolutely crazy, don't think I've ever seen anything like it before on the tour!

Because they are cupid stunts.

BTW - Beckhams daughter name - HILARIOUS!

Morning all. Sunny here in Newport. Hooray.

On the 'Seven' middle name, that was David Beckham's number for Man United and England. How self-obsessed is that?

Morning all, I have one seriously sore ankle today, just waiting for the official times to go up on the run website to know if it was worth it

"Seven", ridiculous! Even if it is my favourite number.

I tended to wear number seven when I played soccer so I'm so pleased the Beckhams realised the importance of it. But seriously,worst name since Frank Zappa called his child Moon unit one.

Thoroughly awesome documentary. What a man. What a legend.

To transcend to another level, welcome to the world Harper 7! 7 obviously being the number he wore when he was at United. Harper? Highlight of my day has to be the Daily Mail suggesting it might have come from Harper Lee the author of 'To kill a mockingbird'. Some muppet journalist has evidently just googles Harper and written down the top thing on the list.

Morning all, 3 hours and I'm off to town to catch the train to Manchester can't wait!!!!

Could be for Tipperary's 7 goals in the Munster Hurling Final yesterday

Actually, David Beckham's on record as saying that his favourite novel is 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' Victoria's favourite is 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being.'

Re: Harper Seven

It's obvious, the Beckhams are Seinfeld fans:

Lucky, I find it worrying that you know so much about the Beckhams! Until reading in here this morning I didn't even know they'd had the baby!

Talking of babies though, Stephen Jones' girlfriend gave birth to their first child on Friday, tis a baby boy. Don't know the name as of yet though.

Prop - enjoy Manchester

Were they the Ladybird editions ?

Morning All

Back in the office today and logged on to the news that all but two of my colleagues will be gone by November and I'll be "surplus to requirements". Still, the Dubs won yesterday so that trip's going to be whopper in three weeks, and I've been dreaming up more trips away....every cloud.

Thanks guys. These things are never pleasant and central government has been particularly unkind in the way they've done things. I haven't taken voluntary redundancy (yet) which means I'll be placed on a redeployment register with the hope of relocating elsewhere. It just means I'm in a sort of limbo and will have to watch some good colleagues leaving, and I've no idea about the future. I suppose that could be rather exciting.

I think that's definitely the best way to look at it Cari, a chance for new opportunities and challenges. Fingers crossed for the relocating for you

Hope you find something soon Cari.

Just watching the highlights of the S15 final.

Sorry to hear that Cari, but I am with your optimistic view on the future. Best of luck

Rava - oh I have my darker moments, but they just make me feel bad and achieve less. It's just about keeping things in perspective...and breathing

The sun's spitting the scones here, and I've got chocolate digestive biscuits.

Sorry to hear your news, Cari. The thing to remember is that what's happening isn't a result of anything you've done wrong. It's beyond your control, too.

That's meant to sound positive!

Dreamer, I was joking about the Beckhams' favourite novels. I might have guessed correctly, but I doubt it.

You're right Lucky.

On the Beckhams baby name. It's just another example of the ridiculous pretentious world these people live in. Harper's not too bad because, as we know, it could come from a respected author, but Seven as a middle name is just taking the pish. It's as bad as Gwyneth Paltrow calling her kid Apple. There realy should be someone at the registry who's job it is to refuse such ****witted names. Just because their kids will go to posh schools doesn't mean to say they won't get bullied.

ha Lucky I thought you might have been, especially with Mrs Beckhams one. I maybe should have added a to my post!

just got a few mins left in my lunch break to have a quick look at the Scarlets' leisure range, hoping there's good stuff there for this new season
