Apologies, but have a family event clash and will also have to withdraw from this.

Sorry

Not a problem, I've adjusted everything ... another time

Or... you could drop by Hedonism and buy a stash of D2017 halves at £38/bt. I really, really, really don’t need to be buying any more Port. Really not. Your suggestion is not helpful. It's only a few more bottles... I'm with Mike here ... My wife never has enough shoes ... Thus it follows that more...

Regret I am going to have to pull out of this one, as I'm wanted in China.. While you are sitting down to enjoy fine VP, I will be having my first experience of flying with Virgin, probably somewhere over India, given that Russia is off limits.. ..no idea what port they have on board! Oh dear ...th...

Pretty please.. ..may I provide the Fonseca? My computer has ordered me to drink an F63 this month and it seems an offence against nature to do so on my own, at home.. Forum lurkers out there please note: I am struggling to consume my quota of veteran bottles each year - please step forward and pro...

If anybody is at a loose end on the 18th then some help would be really great setting up the event. Alex and I will be there but it would be great if we had an extra pair of willing hands to help so if you can help please let me know. I can get there for 1700 if that helps. Well done that man ... S...

That's been sorted

Pressed duck is what you need at Otto's .....

Evening sounds fab regardless

Don’t forget to let the Boot & Flogger know how many glasses we will need. It’s usually no. of bottles x no. of people + a few spares. Tis all in hand ... Room was booked ages ago ... I'll tweak the glasses Monday as we have 'found' more port and place the order for food ... Last chance to chan...

Starter - Mac & Cheese
Main - Sausage & Mash (large)

Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑00:02 Wed 28 Jun 2023 Sorry, I thought I did have a default food order.

It should be:
- no starter
- steak, medium rare with thin chips and green beans / shallots
- no default dessert

Thanks

Thats all tweaked ......

If there are items in RED then they no longer exist – can you let me know your new choice (NAC, IDJ123,JDAW1) If you don’t have a default choice then please let me know so I ca...

Does such a thing as an emergency with a bit more notice exist ?? :-) It could, but the short notice feels like part of the idea of an ‘emergency’. I spent years running an IT services company and we hand lots of planned emergency maintenance.... :-) It's all in the way it's presented .... Either w...

Michael would be dead chuffed about the WOTN .... He would also have really enjoyed the evening.... Well done to him setting me on the slippery slope ....

jdaw1 wrote: ↑19:25 Mon 29 May 2023 I have Noval, bottled by Grants of St James’s.

Excellent ... We have more bottles than slots to choose from and one spare space !

It's a lovely idea but this weekend and next week's work make it really hard for me to join in .... so I have to decline.
