Re: Wed 20th Feb 2019, Emergency
Perhaps there are Port people who spend their lives noticing cute online damsels, but that isn’t the subject of this thread.
Alas, progress ≈ 0.

Re: Wed 20th Feb 2019, Emergency
My sweet Port-loving mother-in-law is in town. She would very much like to attend one of these events of which she has heard so much. And, by Wednesday 20th February 2019, I’ll be very thirsty. So an emergency is hereby declared.
You know what to do. Do it.

Re: Sell collection
You came to us seeking a higher bid than an excellent bid. Well, sure, the desire is understandable, even if rather unrealistic.

I’ve done the opposite: placemats updated with a fuller list of Port, but not yet of people — awaiting decisions from DRT. Indeed, eight pages of glasses suggests t...
