Derek: I thank you for the optimism embedded within you assuming ‟jdaw1 (not yet confirmed)”, but not this time.
Placemats: any special instructions, or just the usual numbered overkill?

That is a shame. I was hoping that if SCP-DFF read it she would have taken pity on you and given you a bonus pass.jdaw1 wrote:Derek: I thank you for the optimism embedded within you assuming ‟jdaw1 (not yet confirmed)”, but not this time.

Placemats: numbered overkill will do nicely, thanks.

Any volunteers for printing the placemats? I can do it, but don't want to end up with duplicates.

Very sorry to say I unfortunately have to drop out, I have a double booking and do not want to upset the Mrs! I hope you have a wonderful evening and will raise a glass of port to you all. Oscar very sorry not to see you - hope we get to catch up next time you are over.

I have in my briefcase a bottle of this colheita stuff which claims weirdness by virtue of being the only one I own. Any thoughts as to whether I need to decant it at any stage before I get to The Crusting Pipe?

I just decanted mine. It's brown and therefore weird.
AHB decanted his earlier today and has confirmed that his is also brown and therefore weird.

Brown and weird. I concur.
Re: Oscar Night Port Tasting - London - 11th Feb 2010
As a contingency I have decanted a second bottle which is only a little weird and very purple.

Spoken like a true commando.
Was a start time ever specified? 6:30pmish?
