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?

Much as it pains me to say it, I agree with the skirt wearer.

Oh come on now, it wasnae that painful, just ask MrsP, she tried it for the first time the other day and really enjoyed it, I think!!

I wouldn't mind if it were the first time but this is becoming a most unwelcome habit. Maybe I'm maturing. . . . . or you're going senile!!

Defo the latter, Staggy, have no fear!

In some languages Senile and Irish are the same word!!!

Actually not really though Irre is the German word for crazy and Ire is the word for an Irishman.

Coincidence? I think not.

The Welsh name for the Irish means 'geese people'

Quackers

And the Irish name for Wales is Little Britain.

And a coloful look at Irish and Welsh. The Irish word Glas means Green. The Welsh word Glas means Blue. In Irish, Gorm is Blue. In Irish if there is a black skinned person you call him a Blue person. In Welsh if you see a really green field you say it is blue.

Does this mean that Blue and Green and Black are all the same colour

All part of the beautiful rainbow of humanity, Stag.

Apperently the first language you speak influnces the way you see colour so maybe they are.

Asbo - that it does. Count me in for the Exeter match on the Sunday as well then. (that is if there's room to house all of us??)

Gibbo - I can't see the event on FB? Or are you still carefully crafting it?

In ancient Greece the sky was pink or something. No name for blue.

hey guys I'm feeling really unimaginative at the mo, so would appreciate suggestions for an easy to make Halloween costume, if you can think of any that would be fab

off out to fry my brain with another Welsh lesson, so have good evenings if I don't get back in here later

Aye, well, Hoog'll be parking his phat erse in the greenhouse like, so plenty of room

I have my leave approved for the Thurs, Fri and Mon, will look into the detail over the weekend

White dress covered in mushy peas - the girl from the Exorcist?

Bright orange spray on tan, rugby kit and long gelled up hair, shaved legs you can be gav. . . . or james jonea

Flying visit. Hello and best wishes to everyone. I'm very busy so haven't been in as much as I'd like but I'll hopefully take some time to watch the game tomorrow during the game.

I'm thinking;

1st New Zealand
2nd France
3rd Wales

Enjoy the weekend. Credu

FFS, circle and district lne tube closed on Sunday! Have to sort out overground or bus now.

Ye are all ADMINS in the Dew Drop FB Pub now. So ye can all update the EVENTS and create/maintain all future events.

Please be careful who ye accept into the Pub in future though. Group decision?

No more Dictatorships. They dont work. See Gaddafi.

Is Gaddafi in the Dew Drop on FaceAche?

Of course As. Sure MrsP is on FaceAche isn't she?

Now did ye all hear that? No dictatorships. Gibbo has decided so do as you're told.

Feic off! You're dead you are, Grey. 1st one up against the Wall come the revolution.

Nah there were 4 of us. One from each country. But... ve vil now use the Nederlands Polder Model. Everyone votes and nothing gets done - until everyone gets their own little way.

I really dont know how it works... but somehow - it does.

P.S. You comin to de Bath game man?

Evening all. Got 200 pages left of Wuthering Heights and need to have it done by tomorrow. No worries. Loads of paragraphs that don't need to be read.

Stag,

Just on the conversation that we were on earlier, Ireland will come out of this but I really hope that we give up the designs of being like other nations and stick to what makes us Irish.

Well said. No need to copy the USA, Europe or Britain. Our Nation still has to find it's own soul and place in this World- and go with it. We are a baby nation still - in the modern World really. Need to make all our own mistakes, watch others feic up/make ground and learn from it. Grow on our own terms. And we will be so much stronger for it in the long-term.

Believe.

Dreamer: buy an old dress, white makeup, bit of fake blood and some dark masscara....you can easily make either a crazy cat lady or a victorian ghost from that (and this is coming from a drama graduate)

Tempted to book the Monday off too so I can drink properly on the sunday solong as that would be ok for mr AS to cope with me for 2 days?!?!

First thing that must be done is lower the minimum wage and make it so that working in a manual labour job and not going to university isn't something to be embarrassed of.

Aren't you supposed to be reading?

Got a new candle that changes colour which took my attention, now a friend is coming around. I'm a student sure.

Prop, that's the spirit, you know it makes sense!

I've just explained to Gibbo how to set up a GROUP event on facebook...he'd done it wrong hence no one could find it....expect an invite shortly....

Or 5?

Ha, youse lot are hilarious at times. Great banter going on

At the end of this journo's feature piece is a nice bit about last Saturday's match - esp. if you know Llanelli.

Just go with it Munsty....I know he's supposedly a computer expert, but he has been out of work for some time...

Will everybody stop picking on the one man who was prepared to get on with it. It's not his fault OK! Don't worry Gibbo, I'm behind you all the way. You're special.

Awh Glas, he knows I'm only taking the pee...I would've done it myself but he beat me to it

This meet is starting to sound seriously messy. I'm sure it'll all sort itself out though, they usually do. P.S. I got several invites as well.

this I love! If I wasn't so worried about the tan washing off before I go to watch Scarlets v Ulster the next day, I'd so do it.

And cheers for the other ideas guys

I didn't... I think if they invited me they'd expect Hersh to turn up

Hersh is a Bath fan, isn't he?

Evening all

Played 6 a side football tonight, thought I would blow off some steam. Wish I hadn't, we were 10-0 down after 18 minutes and lost 27-8. Worst performance I've had on a football pitch since I was a kid.

On a more positive note, I have tomorrow off work, the wife is doing the school run and then going for a girly coffee morning at her friends house, so it's rugby and full English breakfast for me in the morning.

ah nice one Pete (not the footy!).
Can't beat the rugby and a fry up

For some reason I thought it kicked off at 7:30am and that I'd get to watch the first half, but no, tis 8:30am. Going to have to see if I can retune the radio in the morning so I can listen to it. Might just have to accidently leave the answer machiene on at work...

I've no idea, I just get accused of being his evil Welsh spy, twin brother, lol.
I hope he's not a Bath fan watching Bath stick 7 tries on the Dragons last Saturday was bloody annnoying, it was the first ever time I had been to Rodney Parade and seen them lose!

Dreamer did you manage to see the Scarlets Vs Leicester game? Or do you know where I can find a copy of it online?
I'm not having any luck at all with getting that game.

Ah I was in Edinburgh and missed the Bath game - that must have been why we lost!

luckless_pedestrian wrote:Ah I was in Edinburgh and missed the Bath game - that must have been why we lost!

No we lost because the lads wouldn't put their tackles in and the Bath pack was monstrous.
They looked like Leicester on steroids...

Alyn - na sorry I missed that one, was too busy getting a bit drunk. Not sure it was televised either which is probs why you can't find it on either iplayer or clic. To be honest I haven't looked, but the match report did make me
