Gotcha, a 5th bottle will now go on Death Row - it will be that one plus one of the other 4 (plus your WLBV95) that make the trip.RonnieRoots wrote:Derek, maybe if I told you that LadyR and I have an avere age of 31 (and that the lady is born in the wonderful vintage of KillerB's port), you could take that into account when making your final decision.

I can definitely make it down for one day that the Rootses are here so all that can make that same day are welcome. It will be irrelevant if the funeral is not Wednesday or early Thursday.
Thanks for the kind words all. It's actually a closer relative of Treacle's but I am also deeply saddened by it.

Port is basically a red drink
OK, I’m at my computer about to re-do things
OK, I’m at my computer about to re-do things, with one version on A4 and one on A3. Requests pronto, please.
Latest placemat
The current draft has been updated. Extra CG port added; extra guests including a blank who-knows guest; some tidying. KillerB’s complete mystery still on the non-port page: if it is port, as now looks less likely, you’ll just have to cope. Also with the port page on A3.
Please do comment.
Please do comment.
Maybe move several ports over to the non-port page?
About to go to work. Unless you are sure that the glass will fit, 10 is too many for A4. Please test A3 printing. If that’s a go I’ll move it over. If not, new plan needed. Maybe move several ports over to the non-port page?
But KillerB is coming: great.

Excellent - I will go to the Sainsbury's next to the hotel when I arrive in London tomorrow and buy some BakofoilRonnieRoots wrote:I was just thinking about the same. I can bring a couple of cardboard bottle sleeves. Those cover most of the bottle, except the neck. A different method would be to wrap the bottles in aluminium foil.
Ronnie, when do you and LadyR arrive in London? Where are you staying?

I am only just catching up with weekend postings and don't have the chance to print off mats and notes for all until tomorrow morning. However, I will do so as early as possible (around 7:30am) and will advise if anything goes wrong.
If all goes well then I will bring a big pile of big paper with me on Wednesday!
