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 pictures of Doug Howlett above the bar!


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

Penfro ill meet you at Cardiff Central. I shall wear a red ribbon in my lapel and be clutching a copy of the Irish Times and a bushels of turnips.

Grand, I'll have a daffodfil in my lapel, be clutching a copy of the Western Fail, munching on a bunch of leeks and I'll bring along my girlfriend (and I'm please to say Sunday Lunch) - DOLLY

Brilliant pete. In all honesty look for a broken scruffy creature who needs a shave.

Like a tall Ant ( or is it Dec?)

Stag, I may be reaching an advanced age but the memory hasn't quite gone (yet) I can remember what you look like (your Dad right ? ) Just give us a text, with the number bus you are on, when you leave Cardiff "Non-International" Airport

Will do pete. logistocal question have you a car i can theow my bags into when.killing tjme jn the diff

See if I didn't have to travel to swansea I'd meet with the pair of you!! Train's at 11.48 though so guess it'll have to wait till tomorrow probably make it to town by 6 at the latest!!

There goes the night and dawn begins to filter through

Mo’nin’ all.

"Even better than that" - I have an office

Staggy is still stuck in Dublin. His plane has just been diverted to Belfast

Believe this is what they call luck of the Irish

Got that wonderful text from Stag about looking like a boiled shoite. Made for a good laugh when I first woke up.

Who here isn't going to any part of the Big Meet?

Shoite


Staggys flight has been cancelled

Hope Gibbo and Mrs Gibbo manage to get across - watching some wild and woolly weather out in the Channel as I type. And will I still have a roof when I get home on Monday? Best of luck with the rest of today's travel Stag.

Right folks

Drop everything we need to figure out how to get Staggy over from Dublin

Have they not arranged any alternative travel?

The best thing I can think of at short notice is the rail and sail.

Don't worry, I'm with you on that one.

Me too.

Have to leave work because i'm sick, and none of the real time bus information is working, so i've to go and stand in the gale force wind and pishing rain and just see what turns up. Horrible buzz.

Was looking onto that munsty, I have a friend who works in freight in Dublin, she OS on Facebook complaining that the ferries aren't sailing

Yous are mental travelling today! Was nearly squashed by a falling tree on the way to work! Belfast is a better spot anyways stag, get yourself on the lash and go and watch a good team play on Friday!

East coast of Ireland is in the lee of the worst, no? Fly from Dublin before the worst of the weather hits later on, maybe. I wouldn't fancy the Irish Sea even if the ferries are operating. Otherwise, looks like Stag is going to have to wait it out Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that.

Hopefully they will put him on one to London Puma.

That's what he is looking at atm. He can crash in mine tonight and head to Devon with us tomorrow

A cool video from Connacht rugby?

Is the weather in Ireland awful?

Sounds as though we may be about to lose Scotland as a result of this wind.

Can't do that!! I may be moving there!!

Hope it is ok for you to get over stag!

I am in touch with Stag by text. I am in Belfast today and will be available to pick-up and taxi to any of the NI Airports if required.
I would think his best option is probably London from Dublin and stay/travel with Hughie.

Pete/Munsty - Me too

Just spoke to Stag - he's in the Aer Fungus queue (he's already in Dublin, Puma), he's looking at maybe flying to Brum (then train down) or Lahndun (stay with Huggy) as these routes have bigger planes and don't get blown about so much as the "Sopwith Camels" they use on the Cardiff route

That's the plan were working off atm I think rava

There is a flight to Brum at 13:50 could be a runner, I reckon London might be easiest just due to number of flights

Horrible thought - have Munster, Leinster & Edinburgh travelled to their respective destinations already ?!?!?!?

Not sure Pete, was thinking the same thing myself

The whole feicin' weekend could be cancelled!!

ah man just been reading back, Poopie, hope Stag manages to travel across okay. What horrible luck

and just seen Penfro's post -CRAP!

Staggy's got it sorted, Staggy's got it sorted, tra la la la, tra la la la

He's on his way to Kairdiff (via Brum), he's on his way to Kairdiff (via Brum), tra la la la, tra la la la

Don't envy anyone who has to go to Birmingham

aaaaaaah YAY! phew, was getting really worried there.

Hughie does have a point though.


ha, been looking at some of the comments on the Munster fans forum is all I can say!


(although I may well not be laughing come 5:30pm on Sat!)

Danger.averted sitting in the aurport bar with a.complimentary sandwich and beer. 2 hours til take off

Dreamer what thy saying on Munster forum

Poor bugger - Birmingham and Llanelli on the same trip

"just watched the highlights of Saints Scarlets, all of their tries were poxy, this is a winnable game. Fair enough our backs are depleted but we always win our games up front. Let's just hope paulie and axel get the pack fired up and they kick the ****e out of Scarlets."

"Jonathan Davies of the Scarlets talking about the game on Saturday. Yet another example of a home player assuming that the sell-out is driven by the sudden influx of more home support, not the arrival of the Red Army. I hope we stick it right down their throats this Saturday. I really don't care for the Scarlets."


Here are two choice comments, obviously those posting on the scarlets fans forum, are much more level headed

Two fair comments

sleep deprivation clearly getting to you

trophy deprivation clearly getting to you . . .

that's brilliant.

I'd say tis more of a case of Scarlets fever mind, it gets progressively worse during the week when we've a big match coming up

Fixed that like....

Serious question, knowing how much munster pride the heino and having won two. Hoe would they feel if Leinster were to win a third this year??
