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 collage of great current props' pictures on the bar. We've got Castrogiovanni, Beast, the Franks brothers, Mas, Tonga'uiha, Roncero, Cian Healey (as demanded by Hughie), Stevens, Murray, Mike Ross, Adam Jones and Steenkamp all in action. Graffiti's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

VIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAA!

QPR robbed twice there? They are playing great football. Like de old days.

The funniest thing was when we got up this morning to watch the match I was telling MrP about the confusion over the start time and he said,

"But it does start at 7am!"

I'm not sure if I was more worried that he hadn't recorded the first hour or that I might have got all the Irish V2 fans out of bed an hour early!

I have been up since 6,but the power nap betwen the Ireland and Scotland game helped! Watching some Nfl now,before heading to my leaba.

Eh? It didn't start at 7am, it started at 6am

Yes MrsP, in my defence and as Kiwi alluded too earlier, they changed the clocks last night in NZ. So I was right when I said it. And wrong when they changed the clocks.

RWC Website should have factored this in. A big mistake by them, which caused a lot of sheet Worldwide. 2 of my mates over here - missed the 1st hour. Even though I had sent them texts at all hours of the morn.

Naughty Step for the IRB. And the Web designers.

Gibbo, for the ex-pat in you.


IRELAND - HOME SWEET HOME......... The only place where........

• 'Flip off' means 'Are you serious?',
... • The person that you insult most is probably your best friend,
• Saying 'I will yea' means that you definitely won't,
• "Flip it, its grand' means that you couldn't be bother finish it properly,
• 'Hes fond of a drink' means he suffers from severe life-threatening alcoholism,
• Saying you're going for a drink means you might not be seen again for 3 days,
• Crisps are called 'Taytos' and fizzy drinks are called 'minerals',

• Nobody can go a day without saying 'Jaysus',
• 'Meeting' has a double meaning,
• Tea is the solution to every problem,
• And water is the solution to every GAA injury,
• "I got stuck behind a tractor' is a perfectly valid reason for being late,
• We eat Tayto sambos for lunch, and ham sandwiches on the way to Croke Park,
• You can insert the name of a gardening tool into any sentence and it still makes sense, e.g. 'I had a rake of drink last night' or "I'll be out in a minute, I'm just shoveling down the dinner',
• GAA is considered religion,
• Its perfectly acceptable to call your mother 'mammy' even though you are a fully grown adult,

• The word 'like' goes in every sentence,
• You can say "Any craic' to a garda and you won't get arrested,
• 'The dogs' Love sacks' means something brilliant.......

Yeah, I know that.

But there was a lot of confusion in here last night and I was adamant that it started at 6am and eventually convinced everyone else.

Then the hubby said it was 7am and got me worried.

How to avoid time problems with fixtures. Check the tv listings! Anyone see that sign at the game "Happy birthday Mam!" Thought it was a nice touch.

Hughie there is one thing wrong with your list. You eat "hang" sandwiches on the way to Croker. Not ham.

It was me that told you about the hour change thing!



Unless Kiwi did too.

Ah your dead right Thomond

I know that MrsP. I then checked the ITV website and it confirmed what you said. But the RWC OFFICIAL Website said 08:00 in NL. It was wrong. I watched it change to 07:00 - 2 hours before the game.

I had copious printed PDF lists, that I had in front of me on the wall. ALL match times were wrong after they changed the clocks. A fact they should have factored in - but did not. Highly unprofessional. If you cant trust the people organising it...

MrP had probably done the same on his PC.

Capiche?

I don't know, I just checked the TV guide last night and it said it was at 6. I had no idea there was an issue!

I just LOVE that Hugs. Everything in it and I mean everything - is true for me.

Van Persie is on FIRE!

Glad you enjoyed it Gibbo

Evening Everyone

Howya Kenny. Gibbo,Van Persie took his second very well Jaaskelainen could have done better for the first. He is not captain material,he is a good goalscorer,he tends to get injured and also his goals come in bursts

Hoi Kenny.

Live-ver- Pool.

How bout that Suarez eh?

Yeah T. Van Persie is a little petulant shoite to be honest. But has moments of Bergkamp brilliance. Not half the player - but better than most in the Prem.

Saurez is class , must have learnt it at Ajax

Yup. Right answer Kenny. He had the talent, just needed the edges sharpened.

Watching the RL now on BEEB. Is that burd a man? Shes cute but there's sumtin about her.. Dunno

the voice does it for me , if she shouted at me id be her bietch

Yeah me too man. Stop readin me moind!

Yes Miss... errm... Sur.

Ouch!

You can see Noble cringe every time she asks him a question , its like anything you say just dont hurt me

I love Butch wimmin. Like strong wimmin. Bimbos don't interest me atall atall atall. Should have been a Bishop. Or a Tory. Dunno.

Im not fussy

One finds that helps in the general score-ratio in Life. Uh huh. Yessssirree bawb.

Fussy sits on a barstool, contemplating his inner-navel while it all passes him by.

Thank Allah we're married...

Before i was married it didn't hurt especially working the doors with all those tipsy senoritas

Ahhaa. Kenny de Bouncer. Pray tell...

We're in de Snug. No one can hear us man.

Ha yeh ive done the doors since i was 19 , only do a few nights a month now due to other work shifts .... more for the craic then anything else now .

So. I take it, yer a big guy roysh? With a mellow heart?

Its not 20 questions btw. I'm just a nosey phhoker.

Evening all

Just in from work and am phooked. Van Persie is a good player, but not in the same league as Bergkamp.

Im sweetness and light and always polite , was a hot head in my youth played rugby got in fights ........but im older and wiser now

Story Pete? Yeah, I just said that. Not even half the player. And hasn't got Arsenal in his soul like Dennis had. He loved it there. Van Persie would leave for a few more shekels if Arsenal dont do well this year. Bergkamp loved where he was.He'd stay and help make it better. Said on Dutch TV that it was his dream fulfilled. Makes a huge differ

Like Zola at Chelsea. These foreigners made a huge impression on English football. Cantona too.

KingKenny7Heaven wrote:Im sweetness and light and always polite , was a hot head in my youth played rugby got in fights ........but im older and wiser now

Me too Bro. But the differ being, I mostly get other people, to kick de sheet out of anyone who even starts to have a go. Its called management. And knowledge gleaned on the way.

Know where you are. Know what the situation is and what the limitations are. Make sure you have cover if yer goin in.

If you only have one option in any given situation - its YOUR fault. Not theirs.

(c) Da Gibbo. Boxed for Ireland.

Bergkamp just had that touch of class about him that sets apart the great from the very good.

Sat down at work earlier to watch Ospreys v Ulster, got 25 minutes in and a job happened that I ended up having to go out to, and just got finished. Just watching the AP highlights show now, happy days.

Have I missed much?

You learn where the trouble is likely to come from ...most of them are just drunken gobshites its the quiet ones you have to watch ...................remember working a club on the 3rd floor a long while back and we had a lift to get the trouble makers out quietly , well we got this big lad in the lift and he just turned around and waved us in didnt say a word

Brilliant!. The Silent Lift. They went in.. and never came out disrespectful like.

Love it.

Came out with more lumps then i thought i would for sure

Pete mate,
Not much man. Quiet today. Maybe cos I slept after 30 hours of drinkin and rugby and Rava ripped de pish outta me. He stayed the distance.

Both 55. Both still behaving like 19 year old delinquents. Ah well. Cant be helped. Phhoke it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCDZzf4ragg&feature=player_detailpage

Ah that Rava's a hardcore nordie for sure Gibbo, not like you D4 cissies

He'll love you for that. I wont. I hate Arsenal & Ulster fans.

Hard day at the orafice pal? You had the whole weekend yeah?

Goodnight everyone , Gibbo always a pleasure , and id like to raise a glass to LB god bless .

Have a nice day regs. :zen":

Bore da pawb.

Dere 'mlaen bechgyn Cymru!!!!

Swimming in the lake at this hour? I've just got out of bed. Slept nearly 10 hours....I'm never staying up all night again.

Cari,
You should. But do it for a joyous reason. Just sayin... One Life. X.

Stephen Jones, Wales most capped player ever at 101 caps, what a guy.

And Ymlaen Cymru! I hope I remember to actually go to work after the first half.
