Surely the pork pie would be the face-hugger, trying to force its way down your throat?
Daniel - can we have a face-hugger-shaped pork pie (with black pudding of course) please?

I think we have all been grieving your absence quietly, I have not felt such a universal sense of loss since Poldark finished.

Thank you all. Yes, still in Belfast.

At this point, commiserations are acceptable.

Excellent. Please note that taking a large pork pie and ramming it into someone's face custard-pie-style while yelling "FACE-HUGGER!" does not count.

Pork pie and custard? Now we are talking my kind of language!

Get your own thread. This is not the Derek-bullying corner. Or at least, not your Derek-bullying corner.

I didn't have any custard and I didn't have any pork pie. This morning and this afternoon was a misery of unparalleled proportions. The evening, not so much.

Roll on day 2.

A little sharing from the Prodigal Port-drinker would not be inappropriate. You deserted us, and are now trying to seize thread ten thousand and six as all yours. No: share!

Now, now. You have had a massive outpouring of sympathy in this thread already. Time to man-up dear boy. Stiff upper lip and all that.

Thread nine thousand four hundred and eighty-nine is all yours. Nobody else has touched it. Lie in it and sleep well. And begrudge not others a taste of ten thousand and six.

You could have posted a link. Oh well; it wouldn't be the first time that nobody had a clue what you were on about.

Those with beyond-rudimentary internet skillz might simply edit the browser's current URL with the desired thread number.

But since I have tasted your pork pies, here you go: 9489

You don't have time for pork pies DRT. You still owe me an updated tasting notes extract. Or you need to show me how to do one and then how to upload it.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Welcome back Daniel-and to the jesting (nay, baiting) that takes place long after I have gone to bed!

Incidentally-don't recall any love interest in The Treasure of Sierra Madre, but then it's a long while since I've seen this great film.
