Your getting my BACKUP!!!

This suggestion doesn't get new folk in, but might make a few more stay when they find us. Within the Port Section, I think we should have a few more 'Basic Informmation Posts, like my History one. Another few obvious subjects would be Decanting,Reference Books available,Standard Port Catorgories,et...

Derek , I maybe wrong, but what Alex was wasting his type on, was the shout of Nelson! Thats 111 runs at Cricket. David Shepard used to hop on one leg until they got the next run. I again presume Alex hit 111 Posts. And as he said, why tell a Scotsman and a Canadian! Even though both your countries...

I've got to ask...

How much did Jo's Outfit cost?

I thought she just had a whip and a chair to control you!

Hi Jay,

Welcome aboard. The more the merrier. Selfishly, I like the way its shaping up, I can hopefully continue to learn off you Port Guys.

Alan

When I heard you snoring at the punchline I thoughtout that you'd been asleep through the whole joke...not that it was JUST the punchline that sent you to the land of nod!

I know your gettig bored with sleeping refereces...but I'm not!

Cant argue! So you've heard my Sick Bird joke.

Very Good. Getcha next time!

Or confirmation that you Guys are full of Hot Air. Sometimes I worry it dilutes all the dynamic and searingly insightful Posts I contribute!

Alan

Serious question. Whats the difference between unlawful and illegal.
Go on, give it a stab, and 'll give you the answer if your way off.

A Grumpy Scotsman. Hmmm, I wonder whether thats been documented before?
Michael Jorden would have given you a full kit for your son, and ringside tickets for the playoffs. Mind you he's not lucky enough to be Scottish.

Alan

Isn't obvious???

S@$1ing fl%#ant is swearing, whereas..

T@#>age, you Scottish H$$!@*nt, is obscene swearing! Could even be considered Regionalist!

Alan.

(You started it with computer speak and the Rabbits Helix)

And suddenly the Fog lifted....and all around was clear!

Thanks Derek. (Dont know why you couldn't speak English in the first place, mind! )

Alan

Great read. I personally like reading these types of 'reviews' more than just Tasting Notes alone. No idea about the 80 Label, but it does look odd. Suspect an American salesman might be involved in that one. Like them rather naming Port Harveys, instead of the suggested Latino Brand 'Martinez', whi...

Ok, you appear to have given me a solution. And thanks for that! Unfortunately you are dealing with someone who associates Rabbits with Fluffy things, or what Alex discretely refered to. Either of which dont fit conveniently down the neck of a Port Bottle! So what do you mean when you say 'The Spare...

My expiereince is too limited to contribute. But if this thread is expanded, have you tried the Morgans 91, with this in mind? Is your opinion its for drinking in the next few years, or could it hang on a bit. For those who dont know, Tom aquired quite a bit of this, and we all now have a few bottle...

Is there a 'Teeth Straining' story out there, that you should maybe share???

Well...Hello,

And what are you looking at!

(That was in my deep sexy voice. A straight steal from Joey off Friends )

Alan

Does that mean the Cat theme is over....or have you loaded all Cat Avatars???

Alan

Your in a Hotel room and your decanting your prize bottle. Being a tad clumsy, you only get two thirds of the Cork out and the last third drops in the bottle! So you've strained your Port into the container, and its gorgeous, smiling at you. You want to decant it back into the bottle because a plast...

People often have things on at the weekend, although I haven't for the next fortnight. I was thinking maybe a Thursday, the next one or the week after? If everyone wants a Fri/Sat I can do that as well. If it all gets really complex, we'll have to go for the 1st suggestion that gets at least 4 parti...

Whats that I hear you shouting??? Encore,Encore! Ok then. Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea, one called Justin and the other called Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area. Finall...

You Computer Geeks who are fluent in Computer effluence, you do realise we are trying to attract people....Not bewilder them.

Signed, Leader of the Bewildered.

A guy is driving around some backwoods and he sees a sign in front of a broken down house:" Talking Dog For Sale ". He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there. &qu...

That top one wasn't aiming at the Grassy Knoll when Kennedy went past, was he?
