James would like no starter; a mushroom risotto main with a side salad; no dessert.

Chris would like to start with the duck liver pate, followed by the slow cooked chicken leg with a side of broccoli, rounded out with the flourless chocolate cake.
Julian - would you be able to update the pre-order please?

I should be able to help on both fronts.AHB wrote: ↑11:03 Wed 29 Mar 2017 I plan to spend my lunch hour decanting and then to pre-pour about an hour before we start. Help with the pre-pouring and putting out of glasses would be greatly appreciated. Note that since there are only 12 of us the pours will be slightly more generous than usual.
Re: Thu 06 Apr - 55@55 again?
Please could the placemats be inspected, and critiqued or praised.

Re: Thu 06 Apr - 55@55 again?
I've rarely seen such a shoddy pile of festering shabbiness, a catastrophic display of inept and cankerous disdain, a disgusting mess which... oh hold on, you said critiqued, not criticised, I'm terribly sorry. Hmm, critiqued or praised, err... Yes, they're lovely, very good show.

Re: Thu 06 Apr - 55@55 again?
They look good - I'm happier with two sheets of A4 than the single sheet of A3.
Some small requests for changes please:
1) Dagger will be the Offley 1955 provided by THRA via Mrs Justin
2) Mackenzie will be provided by THRA via Gonçalo M.
I will print the pack on Wednesday 5th

Could you email me the pdf or put a new link onto TPF? My cache won't load the amended version from the link above.

Re: Thu 06 Apr - 55@55 again?
I've just clicked on the food order link, thinking that this would be a good way for me to send it in to them on Monday.
The link appears to be broken.

With my sincerest apologies and with great regret I will have to go back to Lisbon tomorrow and will not be able to join you. I have been tied up until very late in the closing of a transaction for the last week and I was hoping, until just now that could join you. I hope there is another chance. In the meantime I will be posting on the vertical of Niepoort's Garrafeiras I did recently.

That is a shame, it would have been nice to have met you. Hopefully there will be another time when you can make it.Gonçalo M. wrote: ↑23:38 Tue 04 Apr 2017 With my sincerest apologies and with great regret I will have to go back to Lisbon tomorrow and will not be able to join you.
