The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Thu 14 Jul 2011, 5:45 pm

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? appletini

My other post got lost when the other thread locked. I think I said:

Risca - I'll be in work too for that homecoming unfortunately. I hope he has a great welcome though, he thoroughly deserves it.

Prop - good luck with moving if it happens. cider

I might have to look at moving on again myself next year.

Getting towards the final planning stage for the SB, so those who ain't already declared, please make yerselves known on FB.Looks like around 60+ for the party, but for those who wish to arrive/depart before/after, no problemo, as we don't say round here.

Was hopeful of a Welsh stage win in the TdF today, but it gets steeper and steeper.

Any news of the European club competition draws yet, or are we going to have to sort your French visits in August?

Mick

, I'm not on FaceAche but will be there with the usual muck savages (family) in attendance - hope that's ok? You must tell me what provisions you'd like us to bring over? (ie usual gallon jar of marmite, etc.) Really looking forward to it RedWine

, would you like me to arrange for this lot to show? Mugenkyo taiko

by Guest Thu 14 Jul 2011, 6:29 pm

I suspect a lot of people will be working Tuesday.

The Beeb say McIlroy carded a steady opening round score, yet he's on +1 and six off the leader. Not too steady really surely? Where's somebody like Penfro who might have watched it?

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 6:32 pm

Sorry Risca - golf is like Greek to me Erm

I'm sure I heard there was a danish chap in the lead at the moment though?

I know Gibbo. kiss

Two weeks today!!! In fact, two weeks this time exactly I'll be in Dublin...probably waiting for my local guide in the Failté bar Wink

by Gibson Thu 14 Jul 2011, 6:44 pm

Ha. The Failte Bar.

You should try the The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub 1145808659

at source, when you do the tour.

You'll have a brilliant time with Mick and A. And meeting up with Micky T. You will love Croker. And the 1st time you see the Dubs play. They need to up their game for you. Take loads of pics roysh?

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 6:48 pm

I might take a mouthful of Mick's guinness

if he'll let me...just for the occasion Smile

I'm really looking forward to meeting A and Eoin too...not sure what they'll make of me mind!

I can't wait to get to Croker and to see The Hill full of blue...it's going to be whopper!! I'm really looking forward to seeing the pre-match parade and things too, because I never even hear that on the radio Smile

I'll have video and piccies too.

by Mickado Thu 14 Jul 2011, 6:58 pm

Some people say, you know they can't believe
Llanelli have a football team?

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 6:59 pm

Looks like it Mickado - they're playing live on S4C. It's weird seeing round ball at PYS!

by Gibson Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:00 pm

Giants Causeway is on the One Show. I was there with Rav. Loved it

by Mickado Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:01 pm

Cari, they only do a parade before a final (provincial and national) so you won't see one. But everything else will be in place. All my mates are going too so there will be a big gang of us going, probably a sing song in the pub after too if you fancy that? Smile

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:04 pm

Huh? No parade? Do the lads still stand to attention in front of The Hill or is that reserved for special occasions too? Wait a minute...my visit IS a special occasion...it's a bleedin' state visit! I'm going to throw Welsh cakes at Bernard...

All your mates? Cool...I don't think I'll be singing tho...I don't want to dispel the positive stereotype of the Welsh being great singers Wink

by Mickado Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:08 pm

They warm up and stand to attention for the national anthem facing the hill. It's powerful stuff!

Ah I think they just want to go to a pub with a bit of live music and shout along with the singer. Theres usually a great buzz about town after a game so the pubs would have a really good atmos.

To up your game do you not have to have played some type of game in the first place? From what I saw the Wexford full back won that game for the Dubs. Wink

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:12 pm

Ha that's more my kind of singing Mickado...drowned out by the band! I bet town is buzzing before and afterwards...especially when the Dubs win. I'll just tag along wherever anyone wants to go...I'm not flying back until 3pm the following day. Very Happy

Thom - oooh 'ark at her!

by Gibson Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:15 pm

Nah T. We had far too many wides and were not firing on all cylinders.

Someone vil pay for zis with a hiding. And Cari will be there to see it. zen

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:17 pm

Bernard had a terrible game against Wexford - he kicked seven wides. Hopefully he'll be Man of the Match when I'm there Very Happy

You sure you're not talking about life in the bedroom with Mrs G there Gibbo Wink

Seriously though,that's been Cork for the last 2 years. You can still win an AI playing shoite!

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:19 pm

Thom! You are very cheeky (but highly amusing!) Ok!

by Gibson Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:20 pm

Ha. Right now T, I just couldnt put me back into that kind ting. And besides I cant get into me frilly-basque right now. Wink

by Thomond Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:21 pm

Cari,you meet a fella from Cork who isn't an arrogant,cheeky langer then he is not from Cork.

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:22 pm

That's how you did your back in in the first place wasn't it Gibbo? Not used to getting your legs up higher these days... Very Happy

I haven't met a Cork lad yet Thom....I'll keep my eyes and ears open for one Wink

Very true. Its comes with the territory. :chanoworimeannbud:

Besides. You are a Northsider. Blessed with a mother from Holy Ground. How lucky is that?

Us bruds have to stick together T. Come on mo chara. Come over to Leinster. You know you want to.

Its yer birthroysh.

Gibbo - Top of the Pops 1976 on BBC4 now...right up your street! Smile

by Thomond Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:31 pm

Apparently we are less randy aswell so that's a bonus? Laugh

That fact came from Cari!

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:33 pm

AHEM! ..via the Irish Independent Thom! I have yet to meet a Cork lad I can test that theory with...Cadogan will do... I'm happy to have a go on him in the name of important social research Very Happy

Cari,
You will hear them before you see them. They never stop going on about Cork. Everything and I mean everything else, takes a back seat.

Having said that... I love Cork.

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:36 pm

If everything else takes a backseat, then that'll explain why they're not randy enough Rolling Eyes

Oh god... it's Demis Rousos on now...his voice was so shrill he must've broken a few windows. Looked good in tablecloths though.

by Gibson Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:44 pm

Ah here what's this Rev? I used like you.

Munsty was roysh! Ale

by Cari Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:47 pm

Gibbo - my pal gave me a brilliant Dublin guide book today. It's got loads of interesting things about it as well as the touristy things Smile

by Thomond Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:49 pm

What's that about Cork?

I see Some Annoying Sergeant is here.

by **Notch** Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:52 pm

Sounds like McIlroy had a bad start in the first few holes and then played solid. Six shots off the lead however. Will be interesting to see if he can get back among the contenders, how he copes with that.

Didn't really expect him to win this one before it started. Clarke and McDowell are up there atm, -2. Fingers crossed for those boys.

by Thomond Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:54 pm

To be honest,McIlroy has been all anyone has been talking about. It's getting a bit annoying. Harrington not doing so good. He is +3.

by **Notch** Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:56 pm

Yes, the hype that surrounds McIlroy is massive. Everyone has gone a bit overboard. Media love him.

And that's after he shot 71 Thom! Imagine what it would be like if he was leading the pack.

by Gibson Thu 14 Jul 2011, 7:56 pm

Yeah T,
And he's Seriously Asking for a good Spanking.

Might even enjoy it. Ya know what these beret-wearing army goys are like. Wink

by red_stag Thu 14 Jul 2011, 8:00 pm

A mate of mine qualifies as a Leinster fan through residency in September. He's getting worried.
