In which case I will not bring your D80s in case our paths don't cross and to avoid you being ejected from the gig for carrying bevvy in glass bottles.
Thanks - I hadn't thought of you bringing them.
Which means you haven't read your emails today :roll:

Ooh look - an e-mail from Derek.
Port is basically a red drink

Jacob - I'm not sure what time the ROH performance will finish, but there will likely be people in The Crusting Pipe until around 11:30 if you would care to call in after the performance.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

It looks like it’ll finish at around 10.30, so afterwards also sounds like a possibility (albeit depending on whether the person I’m going with is amenable!).

TCP Opening times on 25th June

Post by benread »

I spoke with Andrew, the new manager earlier today. He is not on duty tomorrow, so unless Alex and Derek have introduced themselves tonight it seems we will not meet.

He did however confirm I can drop off a bottle from 8.30am tomorrow. Which I will do!

We have now met Andrew so our TCP network is widening :-)

Ours were decanted last night. If they decant yours at 3 that should be fine.
