Say that loud and deep enough and you sound like a Nordic God. I don't think we need two bottles each as it's a school night.
Port is basically a red drink
Some of us already have a note from Mum saying we have a dentist appointment the next day so can't be at schoolKillerB wrote:I am Warre!Derek T. wrote:My offerings for this offline are Dow and Nacional.

Just remember, your Do is 24 hours before Manchester United play 'whoever' in Moscow, in the Champions League Final!
KillerBee will of course be supporting 'Whoever', Derek will support the Winners and suggest that football was never the same since.... (Fill in your own abstract fact)
And Al-B will support the Half Time Band!
Just an early warning.

Yeah, but you've not just worked your last day before 10 days holiday and sunk 5 cans of lager and a bottle of Noval LBVConky wrote:Get a grip, Man!!!
Some of us have done a 10hr shift in the Emergency Services, and have more to come all weekend! Yummy....
Go on, feel sorry for me, you know you want to

Hmmm. Good memories. Which reminds me, could we have a Conky Offline in October?

Oh, the Harvest Tour!
Good thinking. Can you imagine them singing in the Turks Head and eating the Dead Animals the next morning!!!
They'll be fine with the Port thing, but those other two...
Mind you, I could get Jules a temporary Northern Visa the way he ate the leftovers! Simon still gets stamped Jessie, I'm afraid.
But when are we going to have the much anticipated 'Bad Tiles Do?'

Four of us, and 4½ bottles. Are we at risk of thirst?

I'm fairly confident that I can come up with a solution to prevent the early onset of thirst but we ought to discuss whether this should involve port, claret or some other alcoholic beverage.
However, should you feel compelled to bring a bottle of the Taylor in addition to the Graham, then I would be delighted to help to drink it!

Re: Summary of Arrangements
By happy chance, I do “feel compelled to bring a bottle of the Taylor in addition to the Graham†. Placemats updated.
I’m pondering the merits of adding another feature to the placemat software, but it wouldn’t work nicely on a decanter label. Do you use decanters or double-decant into bottles?

Through a combination of using my own decanters and water jugs and whatever I can borrow, I intend to use decanters on May 20.
But pray tell what the new developments will be.
