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 picture of newly crowned IRB World Player of the year Thierry Dusautoir.


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

Before my good reputation gets ruined ill have you know all I did was convince him to kiss a girl. BIG FOCKING DEAL

I'm gobsmacked Hughie

Why on earth had he to be convinced to kiss this girl?

Stag: me and you can compare business cards on the drive down to Exeter!!

Afternoon all: rather posh buffet with thick ham slices, fresh fruit and pasta with olives and herbs plus my boss has mentioned to me that I may be getting a student to mentor

Yeah why would he have to be persuaded...surely he would have to be pulled off women?! Uless it's true and he only has eyes for hoog!!

I hope you advised him to take precautions if things got out of hand.

At least they didn't hold hands. That's when it really gets out of hand.

I kissed a girl and I liked it.

Afternoon all. the misus going away tomorrow to the Edinburgh until Monday night.

and while the cats away, the mouse will play lots of xbox in his jocks.

Rodders, and anyone else who is interested: - here is a little synopsis of what is happening.


IRFU Ulster Branch proposes to increase the capacity of Ravenhill in Belfast from its current capacity of 11,712 to a venue capable of holding approximately 18,000 spectators by 2015. The total projected cost of this proposal is estimated at between £13 and £14 Million.
The construction of these facilities and ground improvements is subject to European Procurement Policy and must be fully commissioned for operation by 31st May 2014.

Construction of the two new stands at either end of the ground will commence December 2012 and will be completed in time for the start of the 2013/14 Season.
Construction of the new Stand to replace the existing is due to commence at the end of the 2012/13 season and be completed in 13 months. Other work includes the reconfiguration of existing entrances and new turnstiles. The War Memorial is to be relocated but will remain within the grounds.

Did it taste of cherry chapstick? If you're playing plenty of Xbox get Modern Warfare if you don't have it.

It tasted a bit of cherry chapstick and a little bit like of onions. she never brushed her Teeth.

Thom, I do like MW3 and have been playing it a good bit when I am playing it on my own. But when some of my mates are online, it's all about the battlefield. we have a well oiled machine of a squad going.

See, I only ever play online. don't really play single player mode in games unless my internet is gone kaput

I don't have it yet but games like that are about the online play rather than single player story mode.

Hey all. Back from a lovely lunch. My colleagues (excluding our top manager who didn't contribute) are so generous, they did a collection a while back for me and I got £55. My pal here liked what I got her as a parting gift as well, so that's a relief.

I also saw Derwyn (bald rugby pundit off S4C) - he's massive!

Yeh exactly. I would recommend it. I am able to play both Thom. so it's not a case of picking one over the other.

you're a ps3 kind of guy aren't ye?

nice few quid Cari. when are you finishing up? I ain't been in much so is it a completely new job or moving to a different department (sorry for not knowing )

Micky Tikka! Long time no chinwag. Miss your face I've been redeployed to another office - still under the same organisation but another department. I'm finishing tomorrow at noon and going for drinkies with my pal who works across the road. My colleague here is off tomorrow so we say our ta-ra's today

ah right. makes sense.. well best of luck with it all

I know it was something that needed to be sorted by yourself. so that's good that you have it all sorted...

Yeh, it sure has been a long time. I don't get in as often. I should make more time. as I have said many a time before, if this "mobile" version ever came out of testing then I would certainly be more active on the forum.

Just at home, the Ipad or Iphone gets more use than my laptop so the site doesn't lend itself too easy navigating with mobile devices.

Everything all right with you though Micky? I bet you'll miss Herself when she goes away. What's she up to in Edinburgh, anything exciting?

Cari, I remember my dad telling me years ago that he'd been in a newsagents and heard a voice that sounded like it was coming from the ceiling. It was Derwyn Jones, standing behind him (and above him!).

Afternoon all - got some exciting news (its been a while since I had something positive to say!).

I have just managed to get us a brilliant Q&A arranged.

My only clues are - he has a beard and played in the Semi Final of the RWC!

Lucky - I'm not surprised, he looked like he stood at about 6'8!

Hobo - Well it's not Tommy!

Adam Jones then. Good work!

Adam Jones, really? That is good work!

Mickado wrote:Adam Jones then. Good work!

just finalising the details but it looks like it might happen.

Also might get something exclusive with Glasgow Warriors but not sure what yet.

Now that is the worst attempt at a mo/Grav I have ever seen!

Adam Jones!? That would be awesome.

Q. Mr Jones, is your hair naturally curly and is Frizzeze any good for it?

By the way, Hobo. I can't believe you gave 'Surf's Up' five out of ten. For shame!

Can I ask a favour of you all please.

Could you all just take 5 minutes to vote in a couple of the award polls we have going, especially the 3 following ones:

https://www.606v2.com/t18303-606v2-awards-2011-male-grooming
https://www.606v2.com/t18339-606v2-awards-2011-tv-personality
https://www.606v2.com/t18297-606v2-awards-2011-film

(and if you are unsure, just vote Bulldog, Derren Brown and Hobo with a shotgun!)

Hobo - am I allowed to vote on the male grooming? I haven't groomed a male for a wee while...

Just imagine your sitting astride Tommy. Which of those products would you like to rub into his skin? (Answer - Bulldog!)

What's Bulldog when it's at home? Or did you mean a bulldog? Is that like a new grooming ritual, get a bulldog to lick your face?

Hobo, that is literally the worst photo shop jobby I have witnessed. that said, I appreciate the effort made

Cari, all good here. I tend not to miss people I am going to see again. we are together 5 and a half years on Saturday. (which isn't significiant other than she will officially become my longest girlfriend)

Anyway, I briefly tried to make her feel guilty about that to bring me back a present. But this backfired when it was duely noted that I was in Cardiff for the HC final when our 5 year Anniversary cameon by..

She is just going over with her best friend. a weekend break with a wee bit of shopping I believe.

I have asked her to try get me back my bus fair money I gave to a damzel in distress when we were at the HC cup final in 09. Only for her to get on the bus with her fella. ha

Awh congratulations to you both Micky. I hope you got her a lovely treat to celebrate! Perhaps she'll bring you back a wee bottle of whisky (is it Scottish without the "e" I can't remember...?).

Hope not Cari. I am more or less off the beer until Christmas.

had a few binges the last while (Mickado helped with one) that resulted in weight watchers not going as well so just knuckle down until Christmas apart from a mates 30th and a possible christmas sing song night with Gibbo when he is over.

Good to hear with the money cari!!

Hobo: think I did a few of them yesterday.

So I've come to this training with my boss, he's just left and I've ended up with someone taking my details about running drama workshops for children with disabilities....close to dream job fingers crossed this comes off!!

Tempted to skip the plenary and get home early.

Hobo

Great work on the Q & A, just seen it on twitter.

Am royally pished off right now, just heard that Shontayne Hape has been given a 4 week ban for his tackle on David Denton.

Is that a potential new job with a new company Prop? or is it under the umbrella of your current place?

Either way, best of luck with it chief.

Didn't see the tackle Oz, but I presume you feel it a bit harsh?

I'll put it this way Mick, the referee (Mr Poite) was 2 metres away and gave a scrum to Irish for Denton knocking the ball on.

It was a massive hit, which personally I don't feel warranted a citing, but having been cited, to then get more than the low entry level ban of 2 weeks is just staggering to me.

Oh Right. I must look up the clip of it. see what it was about.

he going to appeal I take it?

No idea to be honest. It's not come out officially that he's got 4 weeks yet, but I have it from a reliable source.

Awh Micky, I know you've done really well on the WW, but Christmas is coming and you're allowed to fall off the wagon a bit

Hobo - that's really good news about getting AJ on board for the Q & A. Just don't forward my question about the hairdo...I was taking the pish

Off early for a coffee with my other pal soon. I should leave more often!

...and I just got offered a breakfast in the canteen tomorrow. Boom!

Cari wrote:...and I just got offered a breakfast in the canteen tomorrow. Boom!

Is this a breakfast worth getting or will you be in some worthwhile company

Jesus they pull out all the stops when you're leaving ha.

Yeh Cari, plan is to get to the 3 stone mark by xMAS and then from there eat and drink rings around myself

You want to only weigh 3 stone. Modelling are you?

You haven't reached the 3 stone mark yet? What's keeping you?

Sorry Hobo, founder or not, the rules in here are clear - no graffiti on Tommy's photo. Ban for you - sine die I'm afraid.

but there we are, there can be no exceptions to the rules

Beer and food Rava.. apparently you eat and then some times the weight stays on you.

it's a bloody fix I tells ya

Yeh, I raced to 2 and a half stone. but the last 6 weeks have been hit and miss..

But sure what's the rush I guess. spent my life putting it on. what's a little bit longer getting it off.

And Cox, after pinning Hape to the ground and forearm smashing him in the face gets 1 week as he's a nice boy really and is very sorry about the whole thing…
