I will refer the Honourable Gentlemen to the answer I gave some moments ago!

With acknowledgements to Hansard.

Fairy Snuff! (this could go on a bit)

Thanks to Treacle and Jdaw1 !!!


I hope this isn't like the Monty Python sketch 'What have the Romans ever done for us?'

Of course self praise is no praise....but sod it! Well done Julian.

Alan

It must make you proud to think you have a son who will be able to communicate with Luc on his level! Make sure he keeps up with his French lessons at school. :) And while I'm on, something tells me the picture Luc posts of himself is not going to be as straight forward as we hoped! Great news about...

So Alex, it took you TWO posts to threaten to walk!!!
Now that is a record.
Thats similar to Vinnie Jones being booked after 3 seconds.

Alex,

Hi. I was getting worried. I was beginning to think we'd have to start using common sense on Cork Issues! But the Great Corked one is back in the fold.

Alan

But bear in mind that this post is written by the man who paid £700 for 8 bottles of Vesuvio so that he could get his hands on the box they came in!

Ouch! Please explain.

Alan

Derek,

Cohiba!!!

Cabana is the Copa where according to Barry Manilow, Lola was a showgirl!

Alan

Derek,
you've posted a picture of you as a Skinhead, you've got a dark satanic tree as your avatar and your desperate for women!!!
Its not the method Brad Pitt uses.

Alan

Sounds like a Plan!

Alan

I'd be amazed if its a 40year plus port, and its just old enough now. 16years. So as its so cheap, it looks like its one of those once a year bottles until it peaks.
Not sure how this contects to the thread, but there you go,

Alan

Cant argue. My only bottle of Nacional, and it was plain and uninspiring. I suppose we've got a treat to look forward to? When we try a bottle in its prime. Tryimg to be very positive!

Alan

If your son thinks that picture is a beautiful Spring tree that brings joy to the viewer, I think he's got a great career ahead of him, as a High Court Judge!

'Let the Court rise, for Judge Send-em Down Turnbull'

Alan

I'm surprised I'm telling a Scot to be financially cautious! But we're not desperate for it. It'll fall into one of our laps in the next few years. I'm just wiiling to say I'm ready to commit to coughing up, where ever and whenever, if it turns out to be one of you two that stumbles across the barga...

I'm never going to watch the Sound of Music at Christmas again, without having the Childline number handy and a 'Hang em and Flog em' Possy on stand by.

Forget my suggestion of Jury Service! A clear crime and you leftist liberal do-gooders let him off!

Hang on a cotton picking moment! Even in my tired and emotional state (Thats what politicians are called when they are sozzled). Read those lyrics again! A Man coupes with a 'Litte girl' and a duo becomes a trio with the mothers blessing!!! I may have to report something in the morning! Shouldn't be...

and to finish off....

5 hours-ish

Hic! It has mostly gone. Bravo Tom, I'll try to find a reason to have some more off you!

Alan

Repaint them green, and have them inscribed with Billy Smarts Circus on them. Then resell them as Circus Keepsakes.

See, you guys skirt around the edges whilst I go straight for the Juggler!!!

Alan

(That was a circus joke!)

I'm with Alex. Agree in principle, but wait until someone spots at least 20% off and then the others will take their share of the 6 purchased.
Deal?

I'm presuming it IS a tree?

What? The 94 was the best???
So what the Bloody hell did you get the 95 at £5 a bottle for? You should have got the 94 for £5 a bottle.
Gee Whiz, what are these guys on these days!

Alan

I hope they call you for Jury Duty. That sort of logical astuteness could be vital in reaching a verdict, in an otherwise complex case!

3 Hours Chugging along well. I'm losing the subtilties of flavour and concentrating on the smoothness of the drink. Its developing a stronger heat, with an shade of apple to the aftertaste. To me thats not peculier, I often get that when there's a tad too much alcohol about. Surprised its kicking i...

Did you stipulate the number of heads any of the Teachers had??? No!

So its a draw.
