The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

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.

This is the first Pub of 606v2's second year, here's hoping for another good one.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Augustin Pichot, David Campese, Mal O'Kelly and Jim Williams above the bar!

You're my first, my last, MY EVERYTHING!

finished training, hooray!

Glas - do you know for sure when the Brive date will be confirmed? I shall have to book the thurs and fri off asap if tis the Thurs (which would be such a pain!)

Oi Dreamer, where do you want to sit during match? You get my PM

oop never mind, just seen it'll be announced tomorrow for the Scarlets match.

Shall have a look now Stag, saw the PM first thing this morning but not had a chance to look at it.

Markage

okay I've just been catching up with the Welsh team news, are we seriously, seriously considering playing the first two games with Hook at 10, and our only back up is Henson?!

If so, I think I want to

RD you know that SJ will be called up

Do I? Not heard any mention of it so far Cymro. Surely he'd have been called up by now, especially as Shings has been called up already and that's just as precautionary cover for Lydiate, who hasn't actually been ruled out yet.

Neither has Priestland been ruled out the only one ruled out is Jenks

I thought Priest was 'likely' to miss the first game, same as Lydiate?


ah well, the team will be what it'll be. As long as our defence stays as strong as it has been since the summer, we should be okay.

Yes RD they said likely but my understanding is he could just as likely be playing.
I honestly cant see Henson being used at 10 when we have a specialist 10 waiting in the wings, it wouldn't surprise me if SJ was called up in the next day or so.

I shall await with baited breath then!

Although if Stevo does get called up, tough tough times for the Scarlets what with our injury list and player call ups. We'll be down to the bare bones!

Nothing like a challenge though

Fooood time for me now, have lovely evenings all

Bad news - have had to fire the doris, she thought Burns Night was next Sunday! Jeebus, woman, you've been a civil partner of a Scot for nigh on 8 years and are mother/step-mother to 3 Scottish bairns

St Dwynwen day today, saint of lovers and friendship

Ah well, she's not getting any tonite and is defo off my Christmas card list

Cut the woman some slack Asbo. After all, she has just celebrated a significant birthday, and sure you can have haggis sandwiches, or whatever it was, any day of the week

For As.

I Hae a wife of my ain,
I'll partake wi' naebody;
I'll take Cuckold frae nane,
I'll gie Cuckold to naebody.

I hae a penny to spend,
There-thanks to naebody!
I hae naething to lend,
I'll borrow frae naebody.

I am naebody's lord,
I'll be slave to naebody;
I hae a gude braid sword,
I'll tak dunts frae naebody.

I'll be merry and free,
I'll be sad for naebody;
Naebody cares for me,
I care for naebody.

Right Gibbo, put that to music and we'll sing it to him in Dublin

Rav,
It is a song. We'll practice and sing it to him. Poor lad. The biggest night in the Scottish Calandar and nae haggis or even a wee dram prepared by his bonnie wee English lass to celebrate the Baird.

Its enough to drive a Scot to drink.

Alright Cari woz occurring.

Im having a late night at work. It will be probably 11pm before I get out of here but boss is down getting a takeaway as we speak and its quite "easy-going" work that needs doing.

Fantastic, JC, can relate to last two verses in particular

Hi Staggy. Take away at work sounds good. We have a sweetie tin in our work. But no take aways.

Anyone else read yer man Drivers article about him and rugby. Thats what the sport is all about. I know he is injured and cant play anymore and its not really that nice but it has left me smiling.

Yup, up there with Pete's article today - grand, if somewhat sad, tale

Well, Himself is getting sirloin steak and chips, salad and a nice bottle of Malbec - when he finally gets home!

He thinks na on the lang Scots miles,
The mosses, waters, slaps and stiles
That lie between and his hame,
Where sits his sulky sullen dame,
Gathering her brows, like gathering storm,
Nursing her wrath to keep it warm

(nearly) Tam o'Shanter

Puma,

Did you get your travel arrangements sorted?

Evening everyone.

And,

Happy Thermal Injury Night!

The EU gets a lot of stick. Some of it justified, but this ruling shows how important they are as a powerful body.

Now, for GOOGLE & GMAIL. What they are attempting to do, is to read the content - yes the content, of all your mails to target you for advertising. This is scandalous and seems to be accepted by the vast majority, who have no idea what they can do with their information. Good and bad.

If I say in an email, in its content, to a private email recipient, that I am flying to the US for business or pleasure, I can expect to get lots of sales schiit targetting my trip to a specific City destination. They say that this improves your choices and gives you more help in making those choices. PHHHOK right off! I can make my own choices. STOP reading my emails.

This, is like opening someones private letters, reading them and taking out info they can sell on. Its... beyond belief. Even now.

GMAIL/GOOGLE, are banking on this User innocence/ignorance - to thrive. They are omnipresent in media now and getting stronger. TV, EMAIL, Youtube, GMAIL+ (stay away from it!) They even ask for your email password linked across their Services to Facebook. This, breaks every rule Ive ever learned in Network Security.

Im out Ted. Going to use another Email provider. One that ensures my privacy - by Law. Not flout it flagrantly.

Rant over. Carry on.

Gibbo - what internet provider would you recommend.

Right no more e-mails it's back to the pigeon loft from now on.

Stag,
I use UPC/Chello for home and may use it as my prime email provider now - as I already pay for it. I think I will look at others though. Do a wee write-up on it. I'll pass that info on.

The one with the best name over here is XS4ALL.NL. They have fought hard for freedom of speech and strict privacy for their customers. Have been taken to court for it, fought hard moral battles - and won, numerous times. I dont know why I ever left them.

BTW, I can understand all the above for Businesses. It could be of great service to them. But, not for Joe Gibson-Bloggs or Joe Stag-Bloggs.

It is opening our private letters. Its exactly the same thing.

I use Eclipse they let you download as much porn music as you want.

Yea I don't quite like the idea of it.

Now on one hand thats very helpful of Google and I have nothing that needs hiding but on the other . . .

I use Chrome but my concerns are alerted.

They can read mine if they like. They'll be very bored.

Glas are you a farmer ?

Greetings all, already wrote a thread on this but any of you fine gents/ladies know any pubs around North London likely to show Wales-Scotland on Sunday 12th Feb? Anyone? Pint in it for ya...

They are closing in on that Cymro. Fast. UPC just managed to stave it off in Ireland. Telecom Eireann(Eircom) have already folded on this. The owners of these sites (online sports-streaming, porn music, etal) are being hunted down and will be proscecuted. So could the downloaders - they say. How can they proscecute a Billion users? Wont happen.

TG I have over 10,000 of my fav ablums sorted already. And and a few 100 of my fav movies. I obviously - did this legally. Well, cheap anyway.

I probably best stop this crusade on here. Firewalls have virtual ears.

Just think about it, read about it and dont get pished off later, if you find out you have been shaagged online.

Hi Knowsit,

He isn't here right now but the Hound of Harrow is the man you need to talk to.

Search his user name and send him a PM. He knows all about it.

Knowsit.

Your man for this is the Hound Of Harrow. He knows every decent Pub, its beers, its ambience, its food, its sports coverage - in England, Wales, Scotland and probably on his travels - France, Italy & Dubai. Unreal.

He is the Pub Oracle. Trust his choices.

Sent you a question Glas

Speak of de Divil! Story Hound?

Cheers stag Gibbo

Hound_of_Harrow, if you're reading this I don't suppose you'd have any suggestions? Looking for a pub in North London that'll be showing Wales against Scotland on the 12th seeing as I'm on the road and only dropping by London...

Dunno fy ffrind, some people really love sheep stories. Maybe there's money in it.
Set up a pictorial website of yer sexiest Texels and see what happens. You may be amazed.

In fact, you should have a good website to promote your wares(legally). Every business should.

Evening all, been struggling to get in here often at the moment for certain reasons!! Hope all are well, i'll take that vacant seat at the bar and have a please
