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?

Cheers Penfro and Cari - hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

I saw that stag's trip hadn't got off to the best of starts, but he's back on track. Here's a for when you get to the Bush.

Thanks, Rava. I'll have to get some money together first. I'm not that well off.

Cari, are you not taking part in the meet? Bits are around Cardiff so would you be able to make some of it? Hound,you must be the first guy to pick up a cold in Dubai!

Hi everyone,

Busy day today.

And today marked the end of an era. The first Infant Nativity Play at our primary school for 10 years with no little P on stage. Felt very weird.

Hope Stag got to Cardiff. I lost track of where he travelled through on his way there. Did he really end up in Belfast?

Hey MrsP, how was the Nativity though? My parents said that one year I was Joseph and part way through my Mary ran off crying and I continued with the whole show!! (see i'm being nice)

Knackered from Squash now so a bit of scrumpy with the rugby

Ah I didn't go to see it as I help out with one of the older classes on Thursdays.

Strange walking through the hall though.

When I was in P1 I was the angel in our Nativity Play. For reasons I can't quite explain I was dressed in a tutu and had a wand. In between my scenes I had to wait inside the "inn" with the Innkeeper. The inn was the playhouse form our class room which had a door and 3 walls but no roof.

The Innkeeper was a rascal and kept grabbing my wand and waving it above the "inn" so the audiance could see it. I eventually got very fed up with this behaviour and gave him a firm whack on the head with the aforementioned wand. The audiance didn't actually see the blow land but they saw the "backswing" and heard the Ouch!

Not very angellic behaviour but he really was asking for it!

My teachers must have agreed because I don't remember being told off for it. My poor brother was in the audience and was absolutely mortified.

Plus ca change...

I know.

Still an angel!

Ah sounds so angelic of you MrsP....however much I hate to say it....fair play Falcons are putting up a fight.

Or...

Still bopping naughty boys over the head...?

Infact...whilst your here.....I know you're from tup Scotland.....what's Inverness like? Applying for a job there!!

Me?????

Cauld mate.

Aye you MrsP.....rava I think i got that from when I went up there!!

Are you mixing me up with Puma, the Argentinian Scot who was, I believe, born in Engerland?

I've never even been to Inverness.

Norn Iron born and bred.

I have visited the Highlands several times though and it is beautiful.

Ah that could be it yeah!! I'm with you now...nope no need for you then MrsP

Surplus to requirements.

Again.

Evening all.

Glas, why have my SG picks upset you??

and my Welsh class actually made sense today, for the first time in ages! Progress

Hound - glad you had a nice time out there, and hope you feel better soon

MrsP....I gave you a hug afterwards....have a too

Prop are you upsetting Mrs P?

I raise a bottle of San Miguel in honour if the big meet.

Nah I'm being nice Glas don't worry........

I'll raise my pint of Scrumpy

Mrs P doesn't drink Prop. I'll have that instead.

Right I have a First Aid course to deliver tomorrow so I won't be on here at all. I hope those of you who are travelling tomorrow arrive safely at your destinations. I sincerely hope you all have a smashing weekend. Please drink to absent friends

Because the only picks I'm within 5 points if you on we're backing different teams! Another disastrous weekend for me on SG I think.

Please drink to absent friends

Who said you were not a gentleman?

When I joined Round Table I was amazed that they continued with the Loyal Toast. Anyway it was my turn and I said "they told me I'd have to toast the Queen and I said find me a fork big enough and I'll give it a go!"

Ah no don't worry, I'm rubbish at the Amlin picks!


Rava - hope the course goes okay tomorrow and will deffo be raising a to you and everyone else who can't make it on the weekend. I so wish you were all coming too

Have you done your HC ones?

No I'll do them lunchtime tomorrow when I've seen the teams.

If the above is true then that's brilliant, we're going to be so close to a sell out!

When did I get to 6th in the Amlin??!!

Fortnight ago?

Forgot there were games tonight. As predicted I've done terribly

Ahh Proseco never had it before...lovely stuff

uh oh, not good:

Thomond - you would not believe the number of different nationalities that visit Dubai, and therefore the potential for germs to enter the country. It is one of those places where I nearly always cop something like this. One year I was out of it for two days over there and missed Finals day.

Admittedly, it doesn't help that the immune system is weakened by a deluge of beer.

Wow, unexpected wins for Sale 29-14 at Agen plus a bp ( sorry ), and Falcons 6-3 over Toulon in the Amlin.

For the chat up line merchants among us:

I'm so hard, viagra takes me!!

Mick

Sorry to mess you about, but my plans have changed. Mrs G needs the car (I sold hers last month) so I can't take you to meet Prop

Can you confirm when you've read this? Thanks.

Bore da pawb / good morning all. Friday is upon us, the weekend -and the Tour of Four - starts here!

Ok now that I'm awake and its Friday, now things can begin to get messy

Don’t be a stranger to the pub lads, nothing funnier than when someone drops in, steaming drunk and says something random.

And remember the last time you saw me, I wasn’t a perverted weirdo then was I (could be setting myself up for a fall here!)? well keep that in mind when Stag and Gibbo decide to roll out the mars bar story.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Mickado. But if a second confectionery-based story emerges, that's it!

I've just posted this on the 'rate the song above you' thread so I may as well post it here, too:

https://youtu.be/bDcgsTMcKUg

Can't listen to YT in work, can view it if i do it on the sly but the boss is shoulder surfing today so i don't want to get caught bopping away at my desk.

Marsado, I confess that hearing the story of your fall from grace is going to be one of the highlights of the weekend!

Jeysus As, if that’s considered a highlight, then you won’t be doing it right!

Think I’ll email Hughie my side of it, just in case things become embellished a little!

Shoulder-surfing on a Friday is bang out of order.

Asbo, I'm bringing a sleeping bag for Saturday and Sunday, should I bring a pillow too?

Lucky, tbh you don't really need either

Just as Michael Buble starts into 'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas' it starts to snow outside my house. Coincidence?

Marsado, simple things ... simple minds!
