It was indeed a bird, though not of the types mentioned.

Not a port, nor a person, nor the chemical plant.

Sure. While attending the recent Cockburn tasting, I was lucky to see something I had never seen before, but had wanted to see for a long time. What was it?

thanks for the confirmation. Proposed 5 invalid then, 4 still highest 3x3. Tasting note index will also need correction.

Depleted uranium, ultra-dense high-stability hi-fi turntable stand?

A horse?

Explosives/fireworks/pyros?

A camera?

Edit: not my turn, and doesn't match the clue I've just seen, either.

A bottle of Noval Nacional?

At the Courtauld gallery?

Tasting note sheets look fine, provided they print (since they occur after distillation log, unchecked). Err, tasting-note sheets are on pages 1 to 48, so the ‟after” is puzzling me. I was only seeing the tasting notes sheets in the "re-ordered" section, rather than ahead of voting sheet...

We went for a no-nonsense wedding, which seemed appropriate after nearly a decade and a half together. Our holiday to Tunisia in October is being considered the honeymoon. There will be a port tasting is 2014 that will qualify as my stag night. 88) Excellent! You threw me off the scent nicely in re...

Seems to bring us back to marriage/civil partnership, but we eliminated that... Aside from that we have births and deaths, not sure of anything further; adoption? (Mostly just guessing something I'm fairly sure is wrong to give someone else with a better idea the chance to go!)

Assignment of legal guardian and or trust in case of tragedy?

Agreed, my last post was rubbish.

This post doesn't exist. If it did, I wouldn't have written it. If I wrote it, I wasn't there. Honest.

Proposal?

Did you attend a court?

Attending the opening of something?

The game is a little slow with so few players; We've barely started to guess at this one. In the meantime while awaiting my turn I shall therefore muse a little and see if the quizmaster wishes to comment... What could 1 woman and three men do together? Avoiding the more risqué options, they are a w...

Climbing Big Ben?

Linked PDF still shows Derek as participant, unless link/PDF still pending update. Sorry, my fault. I dragged from the wrong directory into my FTP client. Should be good now. Please re-check. Names good. Are glass labels supposed to be columns of 13? (I thought 12 on label sheets?). Tasting note sh...

The problem is that Julian hasn't actually given me a good reason for why it's incorrect. Compare and contrast: • Fine ales from Isle of Skye • Fine ales from ‘Isle of Skye’ What is the purpose of the quotation marks in the latter? I could have understood ‟Fine Isle-of-Skye ales”, as a compound ad...
