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:
- DRT;
- JDAW;
- MPM.
Is anyone else thirsty?
Current

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

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
8th January 2014,
2nd January 2014,
28th November 2013,
31st October 2013,
8th October 2013,
2nd October 2013,
25th September 2013, and
10th 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?

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

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?

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

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