The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Games of the XXX Olympiad Pub, London

The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Games of the XXX Olympiad 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 week the pub has set up in the host city London, where we can watch the greatest athletes from all four corners of the globe compete in a multitude of Sports under the one thousand flame Olympic torch... each wearing the 5 coloured Olympic rings of blue, white (or black), red, yellow and green.

"Citius, Altius, Fortius" (faster, higher, stronger) has been the motto for the modern Olympic Games since their beginning in 1896.
(but not too high obviously!)

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Marcus Aurelius, Henri Didon, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Sir Steve Redgrave, Cameron Van De Burgh, Marianne Vos, Murray Rose, Jesse Owens, Emil Zátopek,
Zara Phillips and her fabulous horse "Toytown" and last but not least.... Boris Johnson playing whiff-whaff against Danny Boyle.

We'll wait to see if there are any Irish successes mate. Although if you know anyone who has a few bob to spare will you let them know Paddy Barnes is looking for a sponsor

Spoiler:

She's got a few sponsors knocking on her door.

I'm surprised Paddy Power didn't jump on that Rav. LB, I wouldn't say you have to add him but Kieran Behan deserves a mention in here, 9 years ago he was told he would more than likely be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. On Saturday he competed in the Olympics, in gymnastics, which seems to place a great emphasis on leg strength. After what he deemed to be a poor performance he broke down crying in an interview with RTE. I think those are the kinds of things are what make the Olympics what it is. Inspiring stories.

Had a lump in my throat watching that interview T. Fair play to the lad.

Here, I just copped I'll be in Orlando for the AI final. Disaster. I'll want to watch it regarless of who's playing, any idea's on what place might show it?!

Micko, http://orlando.about.com/od/restaurants/tp/irishpubs.htm might be worth a shout

Could get it for you online but are you bringing a laptop or ipad?

You're going to have to change the name of this pub, I'll get no work done with the trains of thought it's setting in motion...

Just as well I am not going to Munster for the Dragons. We are hearing that we are playing at Thomond for once. Would've been a bit of a nause changing my travel plans.

Stupid Munster

I saw an interview with Kieran Behan the other day. I teared up when I heard his story.

He'll get 1st digs on the next pub - which should be towards the ends of this week. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
