Derek: I thank you for the optimism embedded within you assuming ‟jdaw1 (not yet confirmed)”, but not this time.

Placemats: any special instructions, or just the usual numbered overkill?

That is a shame. I was hoping that if SCP-DFF read it she would have taken pity on you and given you a bonus pass.

Placemats: numbered overkill will do nicely, thanks.

In that case, might I take space No. 14?

Please, what is Muriel’s surname, just for consistency within www.jdawiseman.com/port/20100211_oscar_blind.pdf?

Can anybody confirm or deny Muriel Chatel?

[Alex Bridgeman]

Any volunteers for printing the placemats? I can do it, but don't want to end up with duplicates.

[Christopher]

Very sorry to say I unfortunately have to drop out, I have a double booking and do not want to upset the Mrs! I hope you have a wonderful evening and will raise a glass of port to you all. Oscar very sorry not to see you - hope we get to catch up next time you are over.

Yes!

I have in my briefcase a bottle of this colheita stuff which claims weirdness by virtue of being the only one I own. Any thoughts as to whether I need to decant it at any stage before I get to The Crusting Pipe?

[Chris Doty]

I'm planning to in an hour or so (round 3pm) FWIW.

Woo woo

[DRT]

I just decanted mine. It's brown and therefore weird.

AHB decanted his earlier today and has confirmed that his is also brown and therefore weird.

[Chris Doty]

Brown and weird. I concur.

[DRT]

As a contingency I have decanted a second bottle which is only a little weird and very purple.

[Chris Doty]

Spoken like a true commando.

Was a start time ever specified? 6:30pmish?

[Chris Doty]

Sorry - was there ever a list made of the wines we consumed at this thing?

thanks
