The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Tue 25 Oct 2011, 3:57 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 life size photo of Thierry Dusautoir.

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

Ale

Congrats,Cari!! coffee

Ah well, there's an excuse for you to go out and about. You can't stay at your desk all day Smile

Ah no Staggy. Any chance that it got handed in? I guess you'll have to go through the rigmarole of cancelling cards and things?

by Glas a du Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:43 am

Ah no! Have you spoken to them?

The main problem is Ian Humphreys IMO. When he plays well, we play well and when he doesn't we are fecked.

Just see on FB Stephen Ferris is doing a question and answer session tonight if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.

by red_stag Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:53 am

Cari Im gonna ring about 10 taxi agencies to see if it was handed in. I don't expect to get the money back but my cards would be handy. Should have noted which company it was but at 3am i wasn't thinking right.

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:55 am

Worth ringing around if it's likely to be a local firm. I would cancel your cards though just in case. It's less hassle than having to deal with the fraud that could come of it if you don't.

by red_stag Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:56 am

Its a bank holiday today so have to wait til tomorrow.

by Glas a du Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:57 am

I had my wallet stollen once. Ironically from the waiting room of the Court. The last laugh was on me though. As my mates know I hardly ever have cash in my wallet. The poor bugger had to resort to trying to use my card to buy a pork pie in the local co-op and was caught.

by red_stag Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:59 am

I know this wasn't stolen. I took out my wallet to pay for the taxi. No sooner had he driven away I copped that I left it on the back seat.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:01 am

The only question is whether the next fare handed it to the driver or pocketed it.

I think the call centres would still be open. You should cancel your cards asap.

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:04 am

Staggy - all the more reason to cancel your cards then. Your bank should provide any time support to do that over the phone.

by red_stag Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:05 am

Yea Lucky it is. I must do the cancelling today.

by Rava Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:30 am

Some good news for Dragons fans.

Wales pair Toby Faletau and Lloyd Burns have signed contract extensions to keep them with the side until 2014.

I read that this morning, Rava, good news.

The game against the Blues is a really big one now, as if it wouldn't be anyway. Is it too early to be talking about must-win games?

by Guest Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:37 am

Definitely not Lucky.

It was a must win game for the Scarlets on Saturday.

I think all games are must wins though in the Pro12 becuase all of the teams are so close to each other.

Really tempted to go to the Dragons v Blues on the Friday, taht match is always a cracker.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:40 am

Why don't you pop down, Dreamer? I'll even buy you a pint! Well, a half. Maybe a Pepsi, whatever's cheap. Wink

by Rava Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:43 am

Lucky when you are chasing the pack all games are must win and especially those against your local rivals.
HC qualification is a such big incentive so at least getting the 3rd provincial/regional position is a great target. At the minute Dragons and Ulster are in 4th position.

by Guest Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:44 am

You're just too generous Lucky Wink

seriously think I might do, where at Dave is the best place to get a ticket? All the stands seem to have changed and I can't remember where I was stood last year for the Scarlets fixture. I had a great time there though.

Ah Lucky you certainly know how to entertain a lady Very Happy

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:48 am

I think you were on the Argus terrace for the Scarlets game last season, Dreamer, which is the one they've done up. It's called the Bisley now and it's all-seater.

by Guest Mon 31 Oct 2011, 11:51 am

ah what, seats? boo. Is there still a terracing option there for me to get a ticket for?

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:00 pm

The O's must win on Saturday or I'm seriously cursed! ghost

by prop_lyd Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:01 pm

Oooo Dragons vs Blues is tempting....mind if I dive on the bandwagon and come along?! Don't think I've got anything planned and seeing as I don't have a match the next day due to injury I can drink!!

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:03 pm

Those of you going to that Dragons match may also have the pleasure of seeing Tangtastic Gav making his Blues debut...

by Guest Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:04 pm

I love this picture:

http://www.scarlets.co.uk/eng/news/4312.php

Tis a great idea by the Scarlets I think, just blydi well wish I was a student!

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:08 pm

Dreamer, who is the fella in the middle in the top bar picture? He looks scrummy.

Good idea for the club to cash in there too

by Glas a du Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:10 pm

Fenby I think.

by Mick(TEFC) Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:17 pm

Cotter has signed for another 2 seasons,up to June 2014 Yahoo

So, it's not him that will be replacing Henry.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:20 pm

Dreamer - the Hazell terrace is the best place to watch anyway.

Prop - the more the merrier!

by Guest Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:24 pm

Cari - Glas is right, tis Fenby. He's looking v good in that pic I have to say.

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:25 pm

oooh...I'll have to watch out for him at the weekend. What number is he usually?

by Guest Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:27 pm

he usually plays 11 but is sometimes known to play FB. Depending on if we have our wc players back he may not be starting, but he should be involved in the 23 for sure.

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:34 pm

I should've known he was part of the backline....I always seem to be drawn to the backs... Whistle

by Glas a du Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:34 pm

He usually has a scrum cap on and runs like a man with limb extensions, but hey I'm an open minded guy, whatever floats your boat.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:43 pm

Plus he's a Gog, which would be a deterrent to any right-thinking person.

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:44 pm

Well I've met a few blokes with hands like an octopus, so I'll manage the limb extentions... Wink

by Glas a du Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:49 pm

Here he is in action:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hQAgvgjMBg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Typical gog. Hands like jebus.

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:50 pm

I've never been out with a Gog....he'll just need a good nasal spray so I can understand him Wink

by Mrs Penfro Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:51 pm

Don't be 'gogist' now, that's not nice. i may have to revise my opinion of you all...

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:53 pm

Only kidding, Mrs Penfro. My dad's from Denbigh. It's a cross I have to bear. Wink

by Glas a du Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:57 pm

Who said gogs were touchy... Run

by Cari Mon 31 Oct 2011, 12:57 pm

Oh now we're in trouble....sorry MrsPenfro....Gogist is a great word by the way Very Happy

Is that opposed to a Gogophile (as is Penfro)? Wink

by Glas a du Mon 31 Oct 2011, 1:01 pm

What tickles me is when Montgomeryshire people claim that they are not gogs, they are 'mid-Walian'

by Mick(TEFC) Mon 31 Oct 2011, 1:02 pm

What's a gog?
In French it's a toilet.

by Guest Mon 31 Oct 2011, 1:03 pm

I really shouldn't laugh at that. Ahem

In Welsh, North is Gogledd, so people from North Wales are called Gogs.

by Mrs Penfro Mon 31 Oct 2011, 1:04 pm

North Wales in Welsh is Gogledd Cymru, Chef. So people from Gogledd Cymru ar now as 'Gogs'.
