Is your website now reliably working?

And I'll know my choice after eating tonight.

Most of you, if not all, will be very thrilled to hear that Julian is able to attend Monday's port tastings. (We weren't able to remember why his 'permission' was about to be rescinded.)

Have fun!

ALL of them? Lucky man; I can feel my thrill-o-meter about to explode.

Chicken liver parfait; sirloin steak, medium rare, with skinny fries.

Gammon and egg dessert might be ordered on the day if necessary.

I've just realised that I need to email Nick and ask him to pre-order. I will do so shortly.

Am I able to have the Welsh Rarebit as a starter?

I'll then have my (current) usual of Gammon, Black Pudding and chips with the side order of peas and beans

Thanks

Count me in.

Will bring a bottle from a vintage of which I have only 25 bottles, and a shipper of which I have just 7 bottles.

No notes on the TPF database. Broadbent liked it, but his last note was over 40 years ago..

I am starting to think that my Life Coach has a secret contact who controls my work diary. Is it a coincidence that my Life Coach and PA share the same surname? :roll:

I am now unable to join you as I will not be in London this week :(

Alex, any response from Nick? I'll send the order over to the B&F last thing tonight - I have a back to back day tomorrow so won't have time then.

Current draft of the food order. Can others please check.

Julian - if you are able to adapt the placemats for the demise of Derek and the appearance of Tom, I can print tomorrow afternoon and bring them along. I am likely to arrive at 1830.

Not yet. However, I suggest that we just let the team at B&F know that we will order one set of food on the night.

No probs - was planning to advise them when I sent the order through.

Mischievous cooking instruction, which isn’t denied.

If it's not too late, Nick has requested the same as Julian, but with Nick's steak being cooked medium rare.

Domhnaill at the B&F now has the complete order for the seven attendees tonight. All is well. Alex, I wasn't sure if Nick also wanted very cheesy Welsh Rarebit as a savoury course, so I have not ordered that for him - we can advise the kitchen this evening if indeed it is required.
