The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Fri 08 Jul 2011, 9:19 am

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

It was a wise move by him. Do it before Parliament did it to him. They used be his bestest-buds. Now?

This will affect his US & Worldwide interests too. Oh man. I can't help but smile...

Karma.

by Cari Wed 13 Jul 2011, 6:43 pm

Indeed Gibbo.

Notch - OK you're forgiven for broadcasting old news. You're not taking over Sky by any chance? Wink

Bollix. US just scored. Can France come back from this?

Another great header from Wombach and then that 3rd one from Morgan.
Finishing is top notch stuff!

by **Notch** Wed 13 Jul 2011, 6:46 pm

Taking over Sky eh? I'll check for spare change down the side of the sofa, but I'm not too optimistic- it's a two-seater Cool

I think I have just come across the best thing ever: http://chella.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c019753ef011570c0fe74970b-320wi

Oh yes.Cookie!

I have watched some of the WWC. A few things I've noticed. The shooting from distance is far more acurate than the men's game with some spectacular goals. The crossing seems to be better,ut the defending at times is questionable. The referees seem to be very lenient and don't give out many cards. Also Necib for France is a stunner.

Tsk! Soooo sexist! Don't catch me talking like that! I respect male athletes... Whistle

Spot on T. Ale

BTW I am the Cookie Monster.

Breaker. US fully deserved it. Stepped it up a level. Id like Sweden in the Final too.

by Thomond Wed 13 Jul 2011, 6:56 pm

Yeah,Cari you totally respect male athletes. We will just forget the comments about these guys Whistle

:
Tommy
Bernard
Cadogan
Goulding
Schlong(who the hell is he btw)
Chili
Jim Hamilton
Fitzy
Gav
Wally

by Cari Wed 13 Jul 2011, 6:57 pm

I waaaaaant that Cookie cake!!!!

Yes Thom and what do they all have in common? Yes they're very good athletes Wink

Schlong = Sean Lamont.

by Thomond Wed 13 Jul 2011, 6:59 pm

Gibbo,I bet wanting Sweden in the final has nothing to do with them supposedly having the most attractive women in the world? Wink

Who ever called Gav a good athlete? Bernie is only a bottler anyway not an athlete at all.

by Cari Wed 13 Jul 2011, 7:02 pm

Thom - you got my list wrong anyway... raspberry

by Thomond Wed 13 Jul 2011, 7:05 pm

Well,it wasn't in order but I could add Conal Keaney to the list?

by Cari Wed 13 Jul 2011, 7:12 pm

Thom - Definately! Drool

I wouldn't have Gav and Goulding on there. DG's got lovely eyes but that's all....same with Lukey Loverug...expect he's got a nice orse and loverug...

Notch - beware - apparently the takeover bid isn't over. A new bid could begin after the enquiry.

by **Notch** Wed 13 Jul 2011, 7:14 pm

I don't doubt it Cari. If it was defeated; it was defeated. Now they will live to fight another day.

by Cari Wed 13 Jul 2011, 7:15 pm

Notch - yeah, but the good news is that they could be seriously damaged by the enquiry. I guess it depends how that goes.

by **Notch** Wed 13 Jul 2011, 7:17 pm

Seriously, seriously damaged. The worst is yet to come for them.

And now politicians are actually standing up in Parliament and arguing against them keeping their current share of BSkyB.

by Cari Wed 13 Jul 2011, 7:18 pm

I've just taken a pic on my phone...they sky's gone really dark outside here. It looks like it'll pish down...but the sun's still shining too...odd...

by Gibson Wed 13 Jul 2011, 7:22 pm

Look out for that Rainbow Cari. Take a picture of that. Hug

by Mickado Wed 13 Jul 2011, 8:12 pm

http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2008/03/friday-funnies-top14-rugby-imposter.html

Strongly considering doing this in the RDS. Reckon i'd be banned for life though, possibly not worth it. Possibly...

by Cari Wed 13 Jul 2011, 8:18 pm

It's just dark now Gibbo...no rain which is odd.

Ha Mickado you'd gain legendary status if you did that....but yeah you'd probably get banned as well...and possibly hurt. That video's hilarious. I like the way he tries everything before he's removed. Very Happy

by nottins Wed 13 Jul 2011, 8:24 pm

I'll post this in here first.

I've got 2 tickets for the Scotland v England game Sat 4th February. The good news is I have a spare ticket, the bad news for someone is that it's next to me. Does anyone on here want it ? The ticket costs £50, I've no idea yet where it will be seated.

by Mickado Wed 13 Jul 2011, 8:42 pm

Dublin v Wexford in the U21 Leinster final (Hurling)

42 mins gone
Wexford 0-11 1-13 Dublin

Get some!

by Gibson Wed 13 Jul 2011, 8:43 pm

Mick,
Not joking but Ive had this strong urge roysh... to run up in full kit and sit beside the Leinster players when they were holding the HC and spraying champagne. Twice now. I was so near the pitch in the Diff... and in Edinburgh.

I probably lack the required acceleration and cahjones now to do it. Dunno.

I liked the one in ROCK, when he dressed up as Leo and kicked sheet out of Tigger in Murrayfield. All to tremendjous applause.

That would do too. guinness

Notts,
Kiwi may have some of that. Or As/Radge.

by Mickado Wed 13 Jul 2011, 8:54 pm

Is that in the latest ROCK? I STILL haven't read that one yet! But i guessed it had something to do with Leo when i saw the cover Wink

The new one (Nama Mia!!) is out in October. I'll make sure i'm up to date by then. Roysh! guinness

by prop_lyd Wed 13 Jul 2011, 8:56 pm

Evening all, had a lovely couple of days away in Manchester and quite a bit of cider

consumed. Managed to catch a bit of the festival up there too which was good.

Hope all are well!

by Mickado Wed 13 Jul 2011, 9:10 pm

Alright Prop! Have the hair of the dog pal cider

I'll join ya sure!

Who was playing at the festival?

Dubs win - deadly buzz...

by prop_lyd Wed 13 Jul 2011, 9:13 pm

Haha nah i'll hold off the hair of the dog, back to work tomorrow but fancy looking for a enw job and a new challenge!

We went to the arts bit of the festival which was really interesting!!

by Mickado Wed 13 Jul 2011, 9:16 pm

You and me both pal, had a meeting with management today and heard the best bit of motivational speech ever. The boss sat us down and said "look, i know you're all not happy, but get over it!". We walked out of there like the 7 bleeding dwarves, whistling our way back to work! Wink

Yeah its in The OMG - Delusion one. I think its the funniest so far. A brilliant D4 perspective of things going teets-up and the price of a skinny-latte.

He ends up living in an apt in Rosa Parks (Because Courteous Living... is a Civil Right)... Its a feicin riot. Real loo-book, cos you end up pishing yerself laffing. guinness

Howya Prop mate. Busy man? Ale

Japan beating Sweden in the WWC. Looking like a US vs Japan Final.

by prop_lyd Wed 13 Jul 2011, 9:25 pm

Hey Gibbo; good cheers you? Just had rugby committee too, ready to pass out in bed I think!! New job challenge search to start tomorrow!!

by Gibson Wed 13 Jul 2011, 9:32 pm

You lead a full and fruitful life Prop. Good on ya.

Slaap lekker mon.

A singer/performance artist acquaintance is one of the performers in that exhibition prop. I believe she's part of the revolving door.

We were in a free improv/experimental music ensemble together at one point at Queens.

Boom! Jim wins through for the final.

Loving Newsnight. All the political shysters, who sucked Murdoch willy, to get where they are or were, are now getting the knives out. Its like a Shakespearean tragedy. Politics & morals. Sex and drugs and rock and roll. Love it. guinness
