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?

Afternoon lads and ladettes. Nice to see you made the jump over here ONA!

Clermont up first for us then. A nice gimmie 5 pointer to get us started.

Parliament off on summer recess now. Genuinely wouldn't surprise me if they were called to deal with some crisis or other. Hitting the gym now to go and pump some 'Ron.

I heard that too Dreamer: oddly I was looking at captain planet action figures last night on ebay!

May have to make a trip to Ireland over the christmas period (10th) me thinks!!

Oh, is she now........

I know a girl from here who lives with her boyfriend in the dam who would be quite capable of saying such a thing!!!

The world is never so small is it????

Her initials wouldn't be AG would they??

-----------------------------------------------------------



Earth, Fire, Wind, Water........ Heart

By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet.

Captain Planet, he's our hero, gonna take pollution down to zero.

Willy.
Greetings to Ron.

I'll tell him you said hi

Do do Ron Ron Ron... do do Ron Ron

Dah doo Ron Ron... dah doo Ron Ron

yeah, I though Heart was the little Asian kid.........

I think the Asian girl was Wind (but I really could have gotten the two girls confused...actually the more I think on it I really think I have. Google time when I finish work!)

Captain Planet? Movie!!!!!!!

BTW it was

Africa - Earth
USA - Fire
USSR - Wind
Asia - Water
South America - Heart

Kwame (voiced by LeVar Burton): From Africa, Kwame possesses the power of Earth. He is 16 years old[citation needed] and has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He has a soft spot for plant life. Growing up in a tribe in his homeland, he is at one with the land and its purpose, and does what he can to preserve it. The de facto leader of the group, he is the voice of reason that keeps the Planeteers in check when the group begins to lose faith in a given situation.
Wheeler (voiced by Joey Dedio): From North America (specifically Brooklyn, NY), Wheeler controls the power of Fire. He is 17 years old[citation needed] and has red hair and light blue eyes. Even though he is the oldest, he is shown to be the least knowledgeable about earth preservation trends though this improves as the show goes on (in a way representing the oblivious aspect people have of the harm that they can cause to nature). He is the street-smart comic relief for the group who, while having his heart in the right place, tends to get himself into tight spots when acting impulsively; fittingly, he is sometimes a "hot head". Throughout the series, he openly flirts and tries to get closer to Linka, almost always having his advances shot down. His compassion and fighting spirit adds to the team's backbone.
Linka (voiced by Kath Soucie): From the Soviet Union (now Russia) (Eastern Europe), Linka has the power of Wind. She is 16 years old[citation needed] and has blonde hair and blue eyes. Linka closely studies bird life and, due to this, is extremely emotional when pollution harms them. Wheeler often tries to flirt with her, and despite more often than not shooting down these advances, is shown every now and again in her own way she too possesses feelings for him. She is a master of strategy and logic, as well as a computer expert. She is a no-nonsense girl whose common sense has helped the group when in their most critical moments.
Gi (voiced by Janice Kawaye): Hailing from China (Asia), Gi controls the power of Water. She is 15 years old[citation needed] and has black hair and light brown eyes. Gi is a self-proclaimed marine biologist and fights against the evils of saline incursion into island chains such as the Maldives. Her compassion for sea life contributes to the overall effort of the Planeteers' protection of animals, becoming extremely emotional when pollution affects them, especially dolphins. She also often works on the mechanical and forensic aspects for the team.
Ma-Ti (voiced by Scott Menville): From the Amazon rainforests Brazil and raised by a Kayapo Indian shaman, Ma-Ti uses the power of Heart to instill caring, passion, and sympathy into the people of the world to care for the planet. He can also use this power to communicate with animals telepathically. He is 12 years old[citation needed] and has long black hair and dark brown eyes. Ma-Ti is the youngest and the most impressionable[citation needed], but his youth and innocence also aid in the level of sympathy that keeps the group together. Ma-Ti also has a pet monkey named Suchi (voiced by Frank Welker).

Bored at work:

Kwame: Earth (from africa)
Wheeler: Fire (ginger american)
Linka: Wind (blonde russian)
Gi: Water (Asian female)
Mai-Ti: Heart (brazillian)



Looks like everyone had the same idea!!

ah pants I knew I'd got the two girls mixed up!

Cheers for the info you guys.

Got to say, didn't really think there'd be many other Captain Planet fans in here!

Kwame is actually Ghanian. Its a really common name out there.

Captain Planet (the game on Amiga) was immense. Sooooooooooooo happy with this news.

I Fancied Linka, there I said it!

Prop, it's still bloody hilarious!

Anyone remember when they fixed Northern Ireland? That was a funny episode!

Worst kept secret Mick - we all did

And yes the Northern Ireland episode was HILARIOUS!!

As far as I can recall, I had a soft spot for Wheeler, although actually not remembering what he looks like now, I may regret admitting to that....

The Northern Ireland episode is one of the few I can actually remember, twas brilliant!

Didn't the Catholics and Protestants open a bakery together at the end.

Ah his name is Sean! That's a Catholic name! My name is William Cooper, a good Protestant name!

Yep, I think bread brought the two communities together stag. It's on YouTube I think. Worth a watch.

Advice SOS! Had a call from an Indian (Asian) gent claiming to be from Microsoft, telling me to rush to my PC and follow his instructions 'cause a fatal system error was about to occur that would destroy the hard drive and generally bring about the end of civilisation as we know it. Told him I was busy, ring back tomorrow. 'No, no, you must do it now!' Puma: No. 'I'll ring back in 5 minutes' 'No' '10 minutes' 'No' Half an hour'. 'OK. ring me back in half an hour'. So, question: what the hell is that all about? How likely is it that the world's richest mega-corporation is keeping a benign eye on my superannuated PC and ringing me (how did they get my number?) to make all well?

Puma. It's 100% a scam. I've heard of it before. Total scam. If they call back blow a whistle down the phone and deafen the sheister!!

Scam!

just seen the HCup fixtures;good news getting "Bouncy Castle " Ravenhill,when we have only half a side;pity that we have to play the first of the double header against Tigers at home,they will be really fired up to try and get the 5 points back at Welford.Nice wintery trip to the Auvergne in perspective for Rava et al,January in Clermont is usually slightly warmer than extremely frozen-I remember a winter when it didn't get above -2 for three weeks;nice photos in perspective<snowball><llabwons>

Can't say I agree - https://www.606v2.com/t9914-brave-but-foolish#294194

Not just cause his absense helps Ireland

Thanks, guys - as you see, my PC seems to be functioning just fine. Quelle surprise. The phone rang three times after about 30 minutes and I just let it ring. Hopefully, Bill's little helper has given up. But, I'm still curious - what is the scam?

Oh, and the Ladyboys at le Mosson is not a forgone conclusion;if the tickets were on sale,it'd be sold out already.

If he calls back laugh and tell him you're running Debian not Windows. Debian as a Linux based operating system: http://www.debian.org/

They'll ask you to download some free of charge repair programme that will give them access to your accounts. Or else they will say that you need to by software from them to remove the problems your having pay £40-£80 for it - not so much your suspicious about it but enough that it pays.

I believe they try and sell you some "cut price" software for £300.

Nottins, the ones that my mates encountered were clearly setting their sights lower. My friend was told it was like £69.99 for the software.

Watch out for emails from them too Puma. Dont open em. I assume you have a good virus-checker/spam-filter/Firewall?

If they got your phone no, they may have your email address. But tell those baastards nowt.

Back! Weird feeling.

Had that a month ago as well. Mental stuff.

Glad to hear you back Munsty. Have you thought about inviting your Turkish pal over at all

Is your interview tomorrow Stag?

I have invited them but getting a visa is tough for them.

Just made my SG picks. New Zealand by thirteen and the 'Boks by fourteen.

Story Chef? May head on down to that one. Never been. I hope Leinster get a good allocation and my Leinster buds get me a ticket via their Season-ticket.

Nice to be home Munsty?

BTW I wrote you a long post the other mornin... but... thought it best to delete it. It was my experiences of what you were talking about.

Dont let the ignorant spoil your karma my man. Dont change.

Say hello to yer Mam and Dad for me.

Forgot they'd need one. Had it yesterday Munsty and they want to show around their office on Friday for further interview. asked for my references today so "we can get all that stuff out of way". They are based in Lisnagry though so not sure how convenient that would be.

By the way Munsty i invited Goose for our dinner date he could do with a pick me up.

What are you upto tonight Stag?

Ah Gibbo, would have liked to have seen that. Should have at least sent in a message to me.

I'd say i won't be about i'm on bus home now. At ballinacurra actually. But i'm going gym around 7 and seeing herself after that.

Obviously don't care about me so.

On the plus side Munster, I have bought the tickets as I said. I bought four, as I'm sure there'll probably be somebody interested.
