That is very cruel given that you just moved to New Zealand :x

Or, some of us could pop over to Amsterdam and taste it for you? :wink:
Case tasting of FG76: splendid plan. Thank you Ronnie.

This is shaping up nicely. Now then, where did I put Stevie's mobile number - I'm sure he has a key to Ronnie's cellar...
They are protected by a wall of Royal Oporto 1985 that you'd have to drink first. You will never make it.

You will have left a way into the treasures, a trapdoor, a sliding panel. Derek knows your methods...

The Force , young Padawan, irresistible will it be.

RO85 is no obstacle, it is good for washing bird poo off your car.

I have ordered my cellar master to lay down extra barriers against a possible raid by DRT. Walls of Cruz Ruby are now in place.

I must say I have no idea why this is spilt from the original discussion. This is about my offer to taste the effect of elderberry in FG76, and the logistics of how to make this happen. Utterly relevant.

I think it was mine and Derek's contributions which attracted the green pen of higher authorities.

Correct. Apparently different rules apply when an admin is tired and grumpy.

The MD ranting is entertaining and fun. I like. But shouldn’t more than fleetingly disrupt serious PC conversations.

There was a proper discussion of elderberry, its use and effects. That was more than fleetingly interrupted by planning the burglary of Ronnie’s cellar. Come on chaps, there is a difference.

Which was only a very legitimate attempt of Derek to obtain what is difficult to get to since I moved to the other side of the world. In the name of science, so definitely not meaningless.

Can we have an intermediate category, say, Meaningless Port Conversations? I think about 95% of this forum could safely be re categorised thus.
