The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

Welcome all to the new pub. Hopefully the traditions from the last 606 will continue here in our new home. The only new rule I have really is, see that Tommy Bowe signed picture there above the bar? If anyone defaces that, they're barred. There'll be banter, indepth discussion, some rambling but above all mutual respect as always. It all looks very swish, but we still serve traditional beverages and food. So what'll it be?

Oh if you have any complaints by the way, don't look at me - speak to rugbydreamer cause she's a mod!





Now to fire up the jukebox...

Gilly - if you look at the statistics section of your profile, you will see every thread you have commented on but it wont tell you if there is a response.

On the menu, any threads with new comments will be highlighted in red.

So to answer your questions no, although you could elect to follow a topic, which would send you an email everytime there is a comment (but will drive you insane!)

And Hound - welcome

Oh great, Hound's here. That's it, I'm deleting my account

could you all do me a favour and vote on the manu poll? Going to get it retweeted to attract members.

Victor Ubogu has just retweeted it!

Good while it lasted, eh Lucky? Welcome back Hound.

Willy, did ye see Humph Jnr. is going to be tearing England a new one in BaaBaas colours. Himself and Pienaar both in the Squad! 9 and 10 hopefully.

The logo for this looks like

GOG V2

at a glance



Cheers lucky (I think ) and Notch.

Man this really is a powerful movie, forgotten how good it was

Hiya Kia and Hound... good to see you both here

Gog v2 eh? Putting the GOG in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerchwyndrobwllantisilogogogoch

Oh Hound, thanks for the offer of the Amlin Tickets. I'm happy to go if it's a freebie! Who's having the other one? I was going to invite Dreamer if the other one is spare?

Now cari I don't know it that's a real Welsh place or you just mashed the keyboard, it really coyld be either

It's a place Hughie, but I think I spelt it wrong:

You getting excited now? When do you finish work?

Cari - they're freebies alright

and they're yours.

Cheers Hound, that's fab!! I'll invite Dreamer along with the other ticket then if she's not going already.

Hello new pub! New surroundings, new wall art new dimension even!

I'm off for a wander round and a familiarisation session. If I'm not back in 30 minutes can someone send out a search party please

Oh and as this seems to be a right of passage round here...

No worries Cari. I don't think dreamer was going. I hope they get to my office tomorrow otherwise I'll have to pop into work en route to Paddington on Friday. No big deal if I have to do that, our train isn't until 13:15.

I'm going to the gutter and I want you to come with me.

Hey Swanny! Good to see you.

Not only do you post the hump, you have to try swearing

Hound - cheers! I've sent Dreamer a message so hopefully she'll take the other ticket.

Flip you and the horse you rode in on, you Kumquat!

Annoying that isn't it lucky? I wanted to let rip on here after the restrictive policy of the BBC only to be faced with an equally adept filter. bar stewards!

Notch, it's an amusing filter all the same

Ha ha, this swearing thing is great!

Love sacks!

It's Flip fantastic, but if you don't know about it you can look like a complete Kumquat!

It's quite funny guessing what word you really wanted to say.

Sausage Swallower!

It was my plan all along - you thought the mods on 606 were bad, we are positively draconian mwhahahaha

Thats of course when we are not trying to sell you viagra with our virus ridden forum.

And the filter is in place for obvious reasons - please, PLEASE do not try and get around it! (cue lots of people trying to get around it!).

It is therefore for the benefit of the board!

Now, its been 6 hours and I still havent been given my Appletini - easy on the tini please.

Hey Cari, ok I'm going to the try the swearing thing. This may say rather more about my vocabulary than I would like

mother Flip Poopie bum Muppet Love sacks bum Boobie soloist

ONE APPLETINI FOR HOBO!

Sorry for the Poopie service!

Oh that's brilliant! Don't worry Hobo we understand why it's there. It's actually more fun this way.

Tere's nothing that tastes better than a nice Kumquat at breakfast time and that's a fact.

Five a day and all that! I'll stop now.

After a while you will find yourself calling people kumquats as a swear word!

All this not-quite-swearing reminds me of the first time I realised that if you send a text to a land line, a posh robot lady reads it out. The more obscene the text, the funnier it is!

I thought I was being stalked by Stephen Hawking!

Lucky - yeah that's hilarious!

HOBO - it works thanks for your forebearance )

Why are we an hour ahead, is it so the landlady gets away early

CARI - did you get hold of Dreamer ?

Penfro - no not yet. I'll send a message on Faceache just in case she missed the text.

Hey this place is 24 hours mate! 8)

I did indeed see that Notch. All part of IH's journey in preparing to take over from ROG sometime soon methinks.

Blimey doesn't Queeneo look fab. Opened with a greeting in Irish that went down very well.

Everyone else seems to be at it...

thats why its an hour ahead - its like continental european bars!

Good appletini by the way Cari

Willy - yeah I just read about Queenie speaking Irish. Bloody showing off she is! She's never spoken Welsh in Wales!

Cari, great news on the tickets

Wish to Flip I was going now!!

Ten minutes 'til Apprentice o'clock! I'd better finish my Jagermeister and get going.

Who's your pick for the win luckless? I'm rooting for our boy Jim #legend

I'm watching a documentary about A & E. Good job you boys aren't watching. There's some poor fella on there with sore Love sacks cause he's had an accident on his bike.

Jeez you guys (and girls) settle in quick! Welcome to 606v2

Just to answer some of the technical questions that have been posed... normally we don't allow pictures to be posted on this forum (only links to the pictures) but in this instance I'm going to add some of the forum icons just to make clear what I'm talking about.

If you go to the rugby section (or any section for that matter), you will see the article list (on this sort of forum, articles tend to be called "threads")

On the left hand side of the thread title you will see an icon. Usually looks like this - . This is a thread that you have already read.

If there is a thread that has new posts since your last visit, the image will have a reddish tinge to it - like this -

The images may looks slightly different depending if they are "busy" topics or not, but you get the idea

Next, after that icon, if it has posts you haven't seen yet you get an icon that looks like a little orange square. That will take you to the FIRST post since your last visit.

Finally, at the right hand side of the page, after the name of the last person to comment, there is another icon that will take you directly to the very last post on the thread.

Also to answer the question about looking for articles or comments that someone else has posted - go to their profile (click on their name) and look at the statistics tab. From there you can search for all articles (threads) that someone has started and also search for all comments that they have made (posts on other threads)

Hope this helps you all settle in here. Any more questions, just ask - either here, or in case I don't see them, just send me a private message (PM) - to PM someone, look for their user details over to the right of a post of theirs and click the image under their name to send them a PM

Davie

Cheers Davie! Thanks for dropping in.

We're an enthusiastic lot, although it'll be quiet over the weekend due to the finals going on

Rava, are you in Cardiff over the weekend?

If so I still have a spare for the Amlin, and its yours if you want it. You can sometimes never have enough tickets and I got a spare in case anyone fancied going on a whim. You'll be be sitting with me and my fellow Wasp, Andy. Quite a few regs have met him.

Cari - I'm a rugby fan myself though don't always stop by the rubgy sections. Golf is my real purpose for being here as well as the resident admin for helping out with the geekly tasks.

I'll certainly watch out for the rugby chatter though

Oh, oh. Echo time

He's also the resident misery guts if you need your enthusiasm curbed

Harrow you're echoing!

Still waiting for dreamer to get back to me but I'm sure she'll go if she can.

Davie - not a golf fan myself, but I think a couple of the regs here like a bit of golf.
