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 the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

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

Congrats Notch, my results are out tomorrow and I'm anticipating a very unpleasant interview with the parents. Oy vey...

Thanks Dreamer. Graduation is on the 4th July. My brother is arriving this weekend for a little while and he's going to be able to be there as well

Going off to Donegal with him and the parents for a bit next week. I haven't seen him in a year so that'll be good.

Notch,félicitations,<confetti><what,nobubblyemoti?>

Willy, I thought mine were out tomorrow; thats what we had been told. For some reason they came out early. You might want to check QSis!

Thanks guys.

ah dude that's awesome Notch, will be great to spend time with your brother there then

Enjoy it! (or try to anyway! I absolutely hated mine, my parents made me go...)

Here man have a

England winding this down now, but I admire the French for trying to play like the real France.

Well done Notch, despite the'disappointment'.

France try disallowed - forward pass. France forcing it now and making errors.

Bourgeois not showing his class for France

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hoi Hound,
Been a good game this, in parts. France having a go, England gobbling it up. Too much nous it seems. Front-5 were brilliant.

Interception. Alex Gray. Try! . Captain....

Haha that woman just nabbed a tennis ball lolz

Nope just checked no results for me yet. I'll go to bed tonight praying for an admin error.

Wow someone just nabbed it back off her.

Congratulations Notcheroo

There's a shortage of celebratory smilies on here...

And it's cost them big time. Interception by skipper Alex Gray to wrap it up. 33-18. Really good 2nd half with France playing much better.

That's my celebration!

Can't do that when Tommy scores a hat trick though Notch. I want the magic one back...or some other one that looks like it...

And now... for some Antipodean fireworks!

Can Oz even stay with them?

The Magic One is back ... story Girrrl?

Doubtful gibbo. Aus had a good team last year but a lot of that team no longer qualify to play.

Evening all,

Have finally seen X-Men First Class. Good movie if not outstanding. Fassbender and McAvoy played their roles well.

Scarlets have sold 2,500 season tickets in three weeks, 20% up on last year

Howya Gibbob

Just chilling out now for the evening. I've really enjoyed my week at work so far tho, and some have been impressed with my efforts over there I've got a headache now though, but I think that's cause I'm a bit dehydrated.

Looking forward to checking out the Heino DVD - two discs too! Plenty of Ferg to see (droool).

Now dont go wearing-out the pause-button on Fergus & Fitzy's orses now Cari.

That's good news dreamer. You are doing slightly better than us where season ticket sales are 7% up on last season. Don't know exactly how many bums on seats that equates to though.

Yeah mate agree. And... they were hot favs v France - who had them. Does not augur well really...

But the Aussies wont lie down easy vs the Kiwis. Got a great backline.

Just hope to see some mad open,running rugby. And I do believe I will.
England awaits...

Wooooo.

well any increase on last year is going to be good!

Not sure actually how many we sold last year, so not sure really how good a marker 2,500 is, still I'm glad we've sold that many so far. Tis so important we start getting more fans at matches.

Oz have started very well here, no s ore after 12 minutes


Oh scratch that, oz score in the corner to take the lead, 5-0 conversion to follow

Aus making NZ think a bit here. Well worked score. Still think NZ will win this though.

Oi, Cari! How do you already have your Heino DVD from Amazon and I have an email saying their suppliers have run out and I wont get mine until the second week in July! Curses. But Lovefilm have finally sent me Inception so looking forward to watching that.

In other news, going to Hamilton Park races tomorrow, where Himself (and significant other) will be corporate guests of Belhaven. So today I bought new shoes, new trousers and new top. Well, couldn't show him up could I? Heh, heh. Bring on the champagne and prawn sandwiches.

Well done on the degree result, Notch!

Many many congratulations to Notch. Enjoy your celebrations with the family mate.

Thanks everyone

Recording the Rugby for later so won't stay as I don't want to know the score.

Gibbo, I just had a wee listen to this: -

Oh and congratulations to Kiwi on his elevation to Administrator - I'm sure you will make a darn good one.

Hoi Puma!
Sure a woman has to have a reason anyway... shopping for new "slacks" like. 8)

Bet you'll look posh. Pics on FB please Mrs. Avec prawn sandwich. <stillnoredwinemoticonHobo>

BB's (Brigitte Bardot's) taking a grip. Oz really staying with them. But for how long?

Fair play notch, now you can.become a productive member of society, oh wait your going back to college

Well done buddy

Hey folks is the the Ireland v SA game on tonight?

Cheers!

Gibbo I can't promise I won't be able to keep from pausing on Lukey's orse and us lot!

Puma - my mam pre-ordered the DVD ages ago for me and it was sent out on Monday the day of release.

Mon Oz!
Believe!

That's OK, Cari, I've got a recording of the match burned on to a disc from the Sky+ (I have the technology) which will keep me happy until The Real Thing arrives. For tonight, I can dribble over Leonardo di Caprio instead!

Gibbo you bringing any "oregano" to France with you??

He'll be bringing next year's oregano,hughie;don't worry,it grows like weeds here.

Puma - it's a two disc edition with extras which you might like so it's worth a Leinster fan getting it.

hughie1986 wrote:Gibbo you bringing any "oregano" to France with you??

Oregano? Oh roysh.

Naw, this year I will be mostly bringing seeds to sow. Sowing the seeds of lurve...

If I drive or get the train down.. yup. I will bring a selection-box. If not - I wont.


We could make a mean curry pal.

That'll do!!

That's the BB's away. Was only a matter of time.

Oz have had to work hard to stay with them. It's telling now.

Aus handling has been awful in this 2nd half. Fair play to NZ, they have moved up a gear.

I think Oz have shown the way for England here. For the 1st 50 mins anyway.

That Final could be a lot closer then most think.

even our U20's side loses to Fiji

think the final score was 34-20. equal on tries but Fiji kicked more penalties. Wales can now only finish 7th at best.

Ah finally done, had a guy from the national office of statistics come over and he took an hour to ask bloody questions argh!!!!
