The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Wed Jan 25, 2012 5:29 pm

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.

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!

clap

Who or what is / are Zaytoons?

by Mickado Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:39 pm

That’s great news Rav, would be great to see you again!

Stag, you should stick my apartment on the map so dreamer knows where she’s at

by red_stag Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:40 pm

Rava - we're going to use Cassidys same one from the Christmas meet up.

by Mickado Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:41 pm

Also, I’d say it’s about 25/30 min walk from Cassidy’s to their hotel. A taxi would get you there in less than 5 mins though.

by Mickado Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:42 pm

Luckless, it’s home of the best kebab in Dublin. A must see for all tourists. Smile

Max Evans Q&A up

by red_stag Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:44 pm

Ah yea Mick I meant 6-7 mins in a cab.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:46 pm

I've only ever had a kebab once. It was rank.

by WillyGilly Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:48 pm

Just made myself an immense roast chicken sandwich complete with gravy moist maker. Literally unbelievable.

The Atmitage debate is interesting. Would I be out of line if I called him a Muppet?

by Rava Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:49 pm

Stag, you are aware I trust, that it is about a 45 minute walk from Cassidy's to the Stadium?

by WillyGilly Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:50 pm

Huh I never knew tw@t went threw the swear filter as muppet.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:51 pm

Calling him a muppet would be bang out of order, Willy. The only person you can call a muppet is Gavin Henson, as he's related to Jim Henson.

by red_stag Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:53 pm

Yea Rava, I mistyped. I meant a 6-7 minute drive not walk.

by Rava Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:59 pm

Can't see me making Cassidy's either before or after Stag. Somewhere nearer the ground maybe. We'll be trying to park in Church Avenue/Tritonville Road area.
No worries if it doesn't happen. Would have liked to catch up with Glas and Dreamer though

My favourite club competitions for the Scarlets:

1 HC
2 LV= Cup
3 Rabo

That is all.

by red_stag Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:08 pm

Glas, I watched the LV Cup match the other night. I actually found it thoroughly enjoyable.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:11 pm

Excellent, Swanny!

by red_stag Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:12 pm

Ireland announce the squads against Wales and France.

A few interesting moves by Deccie - https://www.606v2.com/t22899-ireland-squad-announced

Swanny - serious congrats

by MrsP Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:14 pm

Well done Swanny!

Which events are being held in Manchester?

by Thomond Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:16 pm

Zaytoons is amazing. Great chipper and kebab shop. Up there with the best in the land.

Well done Mrs S thumbsup

Are Irish regs depressed that what is in effect tinkering by DK will be seen as seismic changes in most quarters?

Rava, I'd love to have a big tax bill Sad

by littleswannygirl Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:29 pm

MrsP, it's the football. Old Trafford is staging nine of the matches.

As, only a little at the moment. They're looking for admin people to work in transport and logistics from June to mid-August.

TT, I really hope not, not with my short legs! Shocked

by red_stag Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:29 pm

Glas, no in fact I think many people will claim it isn't enough change.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:31 pm

Stag, if Delon Armitage is 'scum,' what does that make this bloke?

They are both 'door handles' of the highest order thumbsdown

by prop_lyd Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:06 pm

Afternoon all!!

Been a hectic few days, I'll get a session in this pub soon I hope! Just a quick cider

for me please and I'll get back to work.

Can't wait for this weekend to kick off!!

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:06 pm

Okay, so let's say Rhys Priestland doesn't make it for the Ireland - Wales game; should we play James Hook or Stephen Jones?

by red_stag Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:07 pm

Luckless - Stephen Jones most definitely.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:13 pm

It'd be Stephen Jones for me too, Stag. It's going to be a bearpit on Sunday and of the two, Hook's the more likely to go missing.

There is something ice been meaning to say on here but I've not had the courage as its a bit embarrassing, but flock it I think its about time I drop the charade

I'm a virgin.

Glad I got that off my chest

by Glas a du Mon Jan 30, 2012 5:03 pm

It was Abra-kebab-ra the last time I was there. Acid ring.

by Rava Mon Jan 30, 2012 5:19 pm

Best Kebabs in Ulster lads. I should know. I worked there for five years. Treated Gibbo to one on his first visit.

I've got some scrub ewes if you want to make your own.

by MrsP Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:25 pm

I'm not sure how often I will get to say this on here so I'm going to take the chance.

Even I have had a Zaytoons Hughie!!!!

by Cari Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:36 pm

I did Zaytoons too when I was in Dub. Popped my kebab cherry in there. Not an unpleasant experience.

by Glas a du Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:40 pm

Shall we have a whip round to cover the P&P for him?

by **Notch** Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:04 pm

I went to Zaytoons and all I got were the chips Rolling Eyes

by Suspicious lurker Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:13 pm

Right lads it's decided ye are taking me for a zaytoons when I get over, it's only fair
