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 team photos of the World Cup finalists. Or the action shots (put up especially for Cari) of McCaw, Kahui and Corey Jane.

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

Rowed Like a Bat Out Of Hell, Prop?

Were you in the gym watching me or something?! I was rowing to that song and managed to do the 2,000km I aimed for way before he finished singing!!

Wel, it is an incredibly long song

Mind you, 2,000km is a LONG way to row.

Could it have been 2,000m?

ie 2km?

Gibson wrote:Jeez Prop, remind me not to go boating with you. Who needs an outboard-motor?

Why not? It's not that bad plus i'd provide

Ah MrsP your full of the knowledge.....yep 2,000m sounds about right!

Yeah yer all just jealous. Prop was in the shower, long before the second bit where yerwan... ya know....

To be fair, if this guy did 2000km in the time it takes to listen to 'Bat Out Of Hell' he's wasted at Cardiff Sarries

Everyone bate me to the punchline

Ah bless Rav.

Ok, everyone else delete their comments and you have yer go now pal.

Ah sure say it and we'll all laugh again Rava!

Gibbo, is that one not Paradise by the Dashboard Light

Breaking the Law, Breaking the Law!!!!

I know it was a criminal joke Hughie, but only metaphorically.

Except, I thought it was the "Rowing like a Bat outa Hell!" joke you were talking about!

Gibbo,

Ah that hurt. Cruel youngwan that ya are.

Not playin now...

Na Mrs P credit where its due. I wouldn't have come up with that one.

Something to do with being a Presbyterian I guess

You lot have me confused

Easily done Hughie!

Evening. Anyone here seen "Let the right one in" or "Låt den rätte komma in" for you Swedes. I saw it recently and thought it was superb. Also excitement is building for the weekend.

No. But I have seen James Last live in concert.

I saw Demis Roussos live in concert....



It was in 1977 though. When no-one else would venture into Belfast. Just like now by the way.

Later folks.

I really want to see it Thomond- the original of course. But who has the time and money to view these endless films?

It's on my hitlist, thats all I'm saying. I really hope we get a great game on Sunday. I've seen so many great games between France and New Zealand in recent years it would be such a let down if the biggest one of all fell flat. Remember this?

Oh! before I go I meant to say how nice to see the response to our Pete's post in the Dewdrop. Pure class and shows what a caring bunch we are.

Group

I'm not on FB so not sure what the scenario is with Pete but hope all is well with him anyway. Hope the girls are looking after him!


Notch, O'Connell's hit on Chabal was better

Full 1999 semi to get into the swing of things.

Feck, Pete. Condolences to you. Hope you're alright through a difficult time. Just remember your family will always be there to cheer you up.

You just hope that the little ones aren't scarred for the rest of their lives MrsP. It is them who will need everyones thoughts, prayers and support now.

Aye i'll echo the condolences to you and those close to the family pete.

Managed to find sax tabs for loads of ska and reggae tunes so I know what my evenings will be doing now!!

Much as I am not one for conspiracy theories and paranoia, I would not be surprised if there are sports journalists who give this site a passing glance for anything that might be of use, and it would only take one of them to see my comments and pass them to a colleague for it to potentially prejudice any investigation or subsequent trial. So I shall say no more on here anyway, suffice to thank everyone again for their support.

I figured out the story Pete, and the likely link

Awful stuff.

I wandered lonely as a cloud...

You are right Gibbo, I have deleted the post.

Demsis Roussos was his own, personal - armoured-vehicle. Totally impervious to weapons of mass destruction even.

And his voice alone - would have kept them at bay for miles.

He was safe.

Manchester City have just got a 93rd minute winner to claim their first Champions League win.

How does anyone come to terms with the fact that one of their parents killed the other?

Very similar story over here earlier on in the year. Woman worked with my dad. Husband was off work for ages after a rugby injury ironically. Murder/suicide. 3 children. Absolutely awful.

Sheesh Pete, they are becoming the new United.

Ok, folks - good call.

Meanwhile check out the emoticon attached to my mate Choppers' post (at the end) of this Waspies.net article...

peidiwch edrych arna i, pan fydd Demsis Roussos yn canu.

To be fair they did dominate the game, although they hadn't really looked like they were going to score.

Now watching the 1991 RWC Final on ESPN classic.

That's all Greek to me Glas...

I've just caught up on facebook (funny - I never usually use it) of Pete's distress. Sympathies to those most affected mate.

As I write, my Pa in Law is in Ipswich Hospital about to breathe his last (altzheimers).

What ho Portnoy? Who will win the weekend's games do you think?

All SH Glas. I accidentally went for France by a big margin on SG though (pillock).

NZ will win by a big margin, if France win they will scrape it.
