The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Edinburgh

First topic message reminder :

Hello and 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 pub has made its way to Hopetoun House, Edinburgh - where the Management Team for the 2013 British & Irish Lions tour party to Australia was announced.

“This is the next chapter in the 2013 tour story," said tour manager Andy Irvine.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Warren Gatland,
Andy Farrell, Shaun Edwards, Kiwi Pete's Grandfather, Rava, Rodders, Andy Irvine, Graham Rowntree, Dr James Robson,
Paul Stridgeon, Kip Keino, Baggage Master Patrick O’Reilly and Lawyer Max Duthie above the bar.

Well, to be fair the saw bench would be for us jointly

MENTALIST!!!

No, your right, a Hoover it is.

Glas a du wrote:Aye it's ok now ta. Just cream crackered and I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet. What to get Mrs G, a Hoover or a saw bench

Ah, go for both Glas, you can't fail then.

Gowan.

What have you really bought her?

No fibs now!

I just remembered that I can borrow a mate's saw bench. Any ladies in who can suggest a good hand held Hoover?

What else would one hold a Hoover with?

You know a small one she can do round the fire with.

But what are you really getting her?

I dread to think...

Cracking emoticon PJ.

I don't believe Glas is either that daft or that brave!

Me neither, MrsP. But I like the humour.

Talking of humour, the poster TJ's "Can a Scottish side..." thread had me in stitches It gor derailed a bit later on. T'was good craic though

I take it you have a bird mrs p? Work today was grim. Back in in 6 hours time, which is grimmer.

Could someone provide me with a detailed set of instructions on how to upload or share photographs? We opened at 00:01 this morning and there was still a cue outside to get it half an hour later. A friend took a photo which just has to be shared. We are one of the top 10 m&s stores in the UK and Sunday at 1 in the afternoon had already been utterly apocalyptic. Hopefully she's quietened down now as I head in.

It's dead simple Willser - even I can do it.

Get a free photobucket account, upload a picture to your photobucket album and it's automatically assigned a URL. Cut and paste the URL into your post and Bob's your uncle.

Don't forget to wrap it in the spoiler brackets though, else a mod will kill your favourite pet.

I've got so much to do today, get canvas from art shop, fresh veg and salad from farm shop, birthday cake from Morissons, booze from Mac's, take hostess trolley and presents to sister-in-laws, presents to mother-in-laws, get to mates for 4.00pm for pork butties and drinks, pick mother up and get back home... I'd be better off at work!

Let's be careful out there today people, it's going to be intense.

OK wise guys and girls, what do you suggest? She doesn't like jewellery or ornaments, is allergic to perfume and is on a diet. Any ideas?

Pipe benders?

I'll just walk around some shops and rely on instinct. What could possibly go wrong?

Gee I don't know, Glas...

In serious mode for a while, why not look into a local health spa/beauticians etc. there aren't many women out there who don't like to play Cleopatra every once in a while.

You could buy her a pampering package and make it a +1 so she can share it with her bessie?

You have your Dyson fall-back, so it's maybe worth a look?

Nice one...

Serious set back - manflu. Feeling Poopie. Mrs gone for last minute food shop. Supposed to be making breakfast. Best plan is to stay in bed and ask her if she wouldn't mind waiting until the January sales for a present. Ill let you know how I get on, I can hear the car in the yard now. Right, going to pretend to be sleeping, see you later...

Does she like one of the shows like X Factor or Strictly. Get her tickets for their live tours?

Spa day is always a winner as Peej says.

He's unbelievable! No sense of shame! Perhaps I'll see what he suggests.

Right off to the office for a few hours...

Morning all, man I don't know why I didn't book today off.....have nothing to do in work as it is!

Morning all, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all.



Glas if you're about, you have given two different titles for your article, what one should I go for?

The completed articles section 1, ta.

Been on the office and am feeling a bit better. Been to get Mrs G's present, it's an old fashioned clock.

Miss G has told her what it is already

Afternoon pub

Back home after my brief visit over yonder. Just need to brave the shops one last time but only to get wine, flowers and bread. In that order of importance!

Then it's time for nice things like wrapping presents and making shortbread

And back home for Christmas!! Sorted!

Afternoon all. Just been out for last minute groceries, the pav is made, just need to get the steak n cheese pies in the oven and wrap a couple of pressies. Off to South West London for orphans' Xmas a bit later.

Afternoon all!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!!!!

Pete,

Orphan's Christmas?

Hoi regs,
Just finished working from home. Getting ready to go up to our friends in Alkmaar to start the Christmas Gig. Just bought a case of St Emillion Grand Cru for the Christmas Dinner. Should make me popular...for a bit anyway.

Just to say I wish ye all a fantastic Christmas and New Year. You people rock and its just great having ye in my life. It has enhanced it so much. Thanks for that. X.

Love & Peace to you all.

Can anyone explain to me why it is worthy of a headline that the PM quoted the Bible in a Christmas address?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20835186

Because politicians are usually loathe to cite religious references in case they offend atheists and risk losing votes of the liberal elite?

Sad reflection I think.

Most people I know who are not Christian are very happy to celebrate with us the festival as part of our religion.

Blooming PC nonsense!

Just discovered Lady and the Tramp is telly at 5 pm today! One of my favourite films

So, 45 minutes to finish stuff in the kitchen and find something I can do whilst plonked in front of the telly

Well yes Mrs P.

Just seen the advert for the Belvia body suit! That's what I could have had Mrs G, three of them!

So....what did you get her?

You can tell me. I'm very good at keeping "santa" secrets!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Pete,

Sorry, term us expats use for a gathering of friends who're all in a different country to family over Xmas.

Nga mihi o te Kihirimete me Ta Tau Hou

Ah ha!

Wasn't sure if it was that or a charitible venture.

I have been to a similar thing is the US for Thanksgiving. There were a couple of Americans there whose family were far away. One of them asked where I was from and, on hearing I came from Northern Ireland, complimented me on my excellent English!



The Canadians in the room almost choked on their turkey!!!

Oh yeah!

Sorry, you said that!



I'm sure that was a good decision!

Evening folks

Just dropping in to wish you all a wonderful Christmas. It's currently chaos in the Ozzy household, with very excited children and an even more excited me.

Thanks for a fun year everyone, and in case I don't manage to pop in again, have a great day tomorrow, and I hope Father Christmas brings you all everything that you've asked for.

Peace

I'll send you a photo tomorrow.

How much "Christmas Cheer" have you consumed already Glas?

My three youngest are currently making Mince Muffins.

They insisted and have promised they will clear up the mess they make in the kitchen...and the den...and on the floor between the 2!

Yeah!

Have a great Christmas everyone!

Evening pub. I hope everyone is set for tomorrow.
