A Bung Hole Emergency - 4 Apr 2012

Postby DRT » 22:58 Wed 04 Apr 2012

Due to an unexpected abnormal planatery alignment an emergency was declared this evening that resulted in Special Forces rallying at TPF HQ. Protocol was observed by the consumption of a bottle of Niepoort 1994, which was quite splendid but seriously deficiency in quantity. When will port shippers learn that EU regulations on bottle size are minimum guidelines rather than precise standards?

Only one bottle? You guys feeling ok or did the planetary alignment cause a gravitational pull that prevented more corks from being pulled???

The Port was opened considerably after Beer O’Clock.
