Well, you have one of the two. The other was presumably a device to allow others to guess.

Exactly. We've only just begun.

No. And I wouldn’t even recognise all of these.

Surely you would recognize Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson?

Boris Johnson and David Cameron?

Yes. With several minders. Not outsized minders, about 6′, but if they challenged me then deference would probably have been best.

Followed by much chatter amongst the people around me about the PM being on the Victoria Line.

Congratulations!

The question was what is my son's middle name?

Daniel's turn.

I knew that would happen, but trusted your better nature.
I SAID I TRUSTED YOUR BETTER NATURE.
Oh never mind

I shared a bottle of something over dinner last night. What?

Butane.

No, not last night.

On account of a spoiled ballot; a bottle of robust beaujolais, say a Morgon from 2005.

Vinegar

Wait, you get to vote again if you mess it up first time? Oh we have a different system here. You get to vote as many times as you like so long as you vote for the same party each time (especially if you're dead).
No.

My companion may have reached for the vinegar but I don't believe I partook.

If there was vinegar then I would guess fish and chips which leads me to the obvious choice of champagne. I think your house fizz would be Perrier Jouet, not because it's best but because the bottle has most kerb appeal.

Going by Twitter followers you have the famousness wrong.

You think I choose my booze according to what the bottle looks like? Oh fie, fie.

I also thought so. This inaccurate clue led to my incorrect guess.

A '98 Riesling?

That is a very good guess indeed! But no - that bottle is still waiting to be opened... Maybe this weekend!

Kaolin and morphine?

I never take them together. I prefer to precipitate the kaolin out and just drink the morphine.

A bottle of vinho verde?

André, you are a very wily player of this game. Yes. No clue needed.
Your turn!

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 12:15 Sun 25 May 2014

Oh dear, I thought "vinho verde" would be a harmless guess.
Well, here's my question:
What vegetable did I have for lunch today (besides potatoes)?

I think I would have demanded a recount. Or a least a posted photo of the empty.

As to vegetables; asparagus.
