It was the ‟again” that suggested an understanding of what the two events had in common.

But you have been gifted the question.

I have no question but it was an 'Ahem' of the type I have found useful on these occasions before.

I’ve decided to treat Daniel’s post as an appeal. And, upon re-reading and reconsideration, his question could have been about last Friday, rather than about the first ‟important” event.

Justice would be better served by declaring Daniel the victor.

Unless Owen has a question at the ready.

Are your future thoughts at least approximately proportionate to the current state?

I did something I have not done since 2004, last Saturday, at 12.30pm. I drank something while I did it. What did I do and what did I drink? Both parts are essential. One will be guessed before the other, I presume. Knowing one will not help with the other.

Please let us know each half as it is guessed.

You bet on a horse race and you drank Sherry.

Did you have the same drink whilst doing "it" in 2004?

Not the very same; but one of the same category.
