All years too old.

Oz Shiraz 2007

If you're drinking 2008 then you are patently a poor misguided fool (to quote Starsailor)

I've just received tickets to see a band that I have seen before. Who is it and how long since I last saw them (in years)?

Post by **DRT** » 13:02 Sat 17 Oct 2009

On the basis that it is unlikely to be Boyzone:

Spandau Ballet? 25 years?

No and too recent, however the last time that I saw Spandau Ballet was also longer ago than that

I have another guess but can't until someone else does

No and yes

DRT wrote:Stiff Little Fingers - 28 years ago?

No but coincidentally I saw them in the same year as this group.

smisse · Post by **smisse** » 19:18 Mon 19 Oct 2009

Depeche Mode - 30 years

Should be theoratically possible.

Oh no. It is not.

We are actually looking at a band from the seventies

. I'm affraid that is too prehistorical for me

On the grounds that this is correct you can assume that all the others are not. Saw them on the Raven tour.

DRT's up!

A single bottle of port just arrived at my house that I posted to myself from Oporto last week.

What is it?

Post by **jdaw1** » 11:56 Tue 20 Oct 2009

If DRT lacks, I have a great port-related regret-inducing question.

I have asked. Guess correctly and you can ask yours.

No. There is a clue from recent times elsewhere on this website.

Shipper and vintage both wrong. Vintage closer than shipper.

Please don't start a debate about the measurement of relative closeness of numeric values versus companies that ship port.

I wouldn’t have done that. Of course there can be an intuitive sense of error: Messias and Fonseca would be terrible guesses for each other; whereas ’63 and ’66 could be close.

Extremely close! Shipper correct, vintage not quite on the button.

Perhaps "Very" would have been better than "Extremely". Fraid not.
