I received a cry for help from a thirsty man yesterday so have made an executive decision in order to deliver the appropriate assistance.

Where: Where else?
When: Tuesday 18th Feb 2014 @ 18:30.
What: Bring a bottle to quench the collective thirst.

Attendees:

1. DRT;
2. JDAW;
3. MPM.

Is anyone else thirsty?


Current draft of the placemats.

 

I’m in. Oh, I seem to be ‘in’ already. Good.

My wife and kids are away Monday and Tuesday night so it would be madness to pass up the opportunity!

Gordon's alive!

Splendid.

I do often get the Flash Gordon-isms, but my "flash" moniker has a different origin...you have until Tuesday evening to guess it, at which point I can share the history

What sort of bottle are you thinking of bringing along?

Every time you enter a room, do you yell "hah ha!" and thrust your hips?

Nope
But I do get the Flashheart-isms also, in fact one or two friends have adapted the moniker and do use Flashheart with me.

We often have a theme resembling ‟Bring A Bottle To Share”. Recent such events happened on 8^th January 2014, 2^nd January 2014, 28^th November 2013, 31^st October 2013, 8^th October 2013, 2^nd October 2013, 25^th September 2013, and 10^th September 2013. Those review threads list what was drunk: approximately, any decent bottle from WW2 to the early 1990s.

Did your mother make you wash a checker-board kitchen floor as a child?

Do your clothes keep falling off?

Are you a photogropher?

Thankfully not that. Otherwise I would have to approach every situation with "Here's one without flash, and look at the difference WITH flash."

Not that.

No. My wife is a good photographer though.

Were you a bully at Rugby School?

You were once struck by lightning?

Usually at a blind tasting the placemats have wines named after people. This time I’ve done differently (☦ ♰ ♱ ☨ ☩).

Pictures in first post.

Was I the only one hoping to see Ming the Merciless and Brian Blessed staring back at me from inside the placemat circles?

Are you a pyromaniac?

Or are you involved in pyrotechnics?

No, Flashman the bully I am not. Nor the victim of a lightning strike, a firestarter or a fireworks engineer.

Is your real name Barry Allen?

No nothing to do with DC Comics

Excellent - thanks for the guidance. Just need to source the bottle I have in mind some time on Monday...

I’ve made placemats as if blind, but do we want to be sighted? I’m ambivalent.
