I like this one.Conky wrote: An Off-Line?
We (ie Jdaw) invented the port website T-shirt idea back in 2007 with the F-Plan T-shirts so I don't think we need to repeat that one.Conky wrote: Commemorative T-Shirt?

How about we open a bottle of port? Cruz Ruby for the first anniversary? Cheap ruby for our second anniversary?
Failing that, I vote to do nothing since I can't remember when the site started and wouldn't know which of the start dates to celebrate anyway.
Unless - we celebrate all of them and have a long party of doing nothing!

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

If we go with the WLBV95 Virtual Tasting theme we will each be singing in our own homes. How will we keep in tune?Conky wrote:Perfect! We can start drinking at 8pm, and we should be on the verge of singing at 2217hrs. Or at least in hot debate...

I've just noticed that 20th June (or June 20th for our American members) is a Friday so I will most likely be having dinner with my parents, my sister and brotther-in-law and my son. I am sure they will be surprised when I start singing into my laptop

Singing
Please, and trust me on this, you don't want Julian involved with anything to do with singing. He has many talents, but singing just ain't one of them. I know more tuneful pebbles.Conky wrote:Julian will have a formula, and 14 pages of associated notes and rules, fear not.
A man who likes vintage ports, and we're not talking Carthage

There aren't many WLBV'S in Montréal .
If I start drinking at 8 p.m. , by 10:17 p.m. I should be on the verge of breaking wind . .
Hey , If It's raining , and I'm outside drinking port and I fart , should I wear a Vintage wind breaker
I think I'll consult Alan , regarding proper Vintage windbreaker etiquette . . .
Re: Singing
I was going to reply to the post Ghhhhandi quoted, but then saw his entirely accurate comment. It’s bad. It is so bad that the Health & Safety Executive have asked me not to sing in public.Ghandih wrote:Please, and trust me on this, you don't want Julian involved with anything to do with singing.

But I can do a formula. (Quiz: what is the connection between a circle and four thirds of one less than root two?)

Re: Singing
Isn't four thirds of one less than the root of two the method of drawing a smooth curve. So if you did four of them, you would end up with a circle???jdaw1 wrote:But I can do a formula. (Quiz: what is the connection between a circle and four thirds of one less than root two?)

How frightening is it that Conky is closest? Tell us more about the method Mr C.Conky wrote:Isn't four thirds of one less than the root of two the method of drawing a smooth curve.

Are you two minutes late? The first post is labelled “Posted: 16:15 Wed 20 Jun 2007†, where my timezone is GMT-5hr, which would be 21:15 GMT or 22:15 BST.KillerB wrote:First post at 10:17PMDerek T. wrote:20th of June
Not that it helps at all with Conky’s sensible question.

Not that that advances us any further towards an answer to Conky's sensible question.
